Under which circumstance may a salesperson be granted a temporary license?

A temporary license for a salesperson is granted specifically to facilitate a smooth transition between employment at different real estate firms. This is particularly relevant when a salesperson is changing companies and is in the process of awaiting their wall license, which is the official document needed to practice as a real estate agent under a new broker. The temporary license allows the salesperson to continue engaging in real estate activities so that there are no disruptions in their ability to serve clients and manage transactions during this transition period.

The other options do not apply to the issuance of a temporary license. For example, aspiring brokers must fulfill different requirements, such as additional educational qualifications and experience, rather than obtaining a temporary license simply because they intend to become a broker. Mergers between companies may affect the operation of a brokerage but will not directly result in individual salespersons needing a temporary license in the context of moving to a different firm. Lastly, a salesperson who has not completed their training does not qualify for a temporary license, as this is a prerequisite for being licensed in the first place. Thus, the answer that reflects the correct circumstances under which a temporary license is granted is related to the transition between companies while awaiting a permanent wall license.
