Manufactured Housing Practice Test

If a salesperson's license has expired, what is true regarding their ability to sell?

1. They can still sell for 30 days

2. They must renew their license to continue selling

3. They can continue to sell but must not accept commissions

4. They can sell only after receiving a temporary permit

The correct answer is: They must renew their license to continue selling

A salesperson whose license has expired is prohibited from engaging in any sales activities, as it is a legal requirement for them to hold a valid and current license to operate in the industry. To continue selling, they must go through the proper channels to renew their license before conducting any transactions. This requirement is in place to ensure that all salespersons meet ongoing educational and regulatory standards, which ultimately protects consumers and maintains the integrity of the housing market. The other choices present possibilities that do not align with the legal standards governing salespersons. There are no allowances for selling for a limited time after expiration, nor is it permissible to engage in sales without a license, even if commissions are not accepted. Additionally, a temporary permit does not typically apply in this context unless specific circumstances warrant it, which is not the case for an expired license.
