Who must obtain a Real Estate Salesperson License?
This license is required for any person to perform any act in real estate for compensation or in expectation of compensation. This license is required for individuals employed by real estate brokers as salespersons under the direct control and supervision that broker. A license may be obtained by a person who does not immediately intend to be employed by a broker; however, no real estate activity may be performed until that person is employed by a licensed real estate broker. This license authorizes real estate activity only if the salesperson is in the employ of a licensed real estate broker. It does not authorize the salesperson to act as an independent agent.
