Real Estate Licensing Maryland-Real-Estate-Salesperson Exam - Topic 11 Question 4 Discussion

Posted by Aleisha on Nov 25, 2025 at 11:21 AM

What type of license will you receive if you have a supervising broker at the time of application?

Suggested Answer: A

Comprehensive and Detailed

In Maryland, when a new salesperson applicant identifies a supervising broker on the license application, the applicant receives an active license.

An inactive license is issued only if no broker is designated.

An active license authorizes the salesperson to conduct real estate activities under the supervision of the sponsoring broker, in compliance with MREC rules.

No way, it's B) Broker's license. You need that for supervision.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the answer was active license, but I’m worried I might be mixing it up with something else.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know having a supervising broker is important, but I can't quite remember how that affects the type of license you get. I'll have to review my notes and think it through step-by-step.

I got this! If you have a supervising broker, that means you're not an independent broker, so you wouldn't get a broker's license (B) or a firm license (C). And since you have a supervising broker, you're actively working, so the answer has to be A) Active license. Easy peasy!
BA
Barb 9 months ago
Okay, let me break this down. If you have a supervising broker, that means you're probably applying for an agent or salesperson license, not a broker's license. So the answer is likely either A) Active license or D) Inactive license. I'll eliminate the other options and go with A.

This question feels familiar! I think it’s definitely between active and inactive, but I’m leaning towards active since you have a broker.

C) Firm license, definitely. That's the only one that makes sense to me.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure about the difference between an active license and an inactive license in this context. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I think this is asking about the type of license you get if you have a supervising broker when you apply. I'm pretty sure the answer is A) Active license, but I'll double-check the options just to be sure.

I don't think so, B is for when you are a broker already.
