Janet is a 20-something salesperson who wants to affiliate with a new brokerage. Which statement is true?

• A. Janet must remain with her current broker until she obtains her associate broker's license.
• B. Janet must remain with her current broker until she renews her license.
• C. Janet will need to obtain a different license to be affiliated with more than one brokerage.
• D. Janet will need to submit a transfer application to the commission.

Answer: (D)

In Maryland, a real estate salesperson’s license is tied to a sponsoring broker, and you can’t practice under more than one broker at a time. When you want to move to a new brokerage, you file a transfer with the Maryland Real Estate Commission to change your sponsoring broker. This process updates the license record so the new broker can legally sponsor you and the old broker releases you. You don’t need a new license, you don’t have to wait for renewal, and you don’t need to obtain a different license to affiliate with another brokerage.
