If a broker's license is revoked by TREC, what is the status of the broker's salespersons?

  1. They remain active without restrictions

  2. They are suspended

  3. They can continue working under another broker

  4. They must reapply for their licenses

The correct answer is: They are suspended

When a broker's license is revoked by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), the status of the broker's salespersons is that they are suspended. This is because the salespersons' licenses are tied to that of the broker. When the broker can no longer operate legally, the salespersons can no longer engage in real estate activities under that broker's authority. They cannot continue working until they are associated with a different, active broker and thus are put on hold or suspended during this transition. This ensures that all salespersons operate under a licensed and compliant broker, maintaining the integrity and legality of real estate transactions.
