Louisiana Broker Complete Practice Test 2026

When a broker's license is revoked or suspended, the licenses of all salespersons that the broker sponsors are also automatically revoked. This is designed to maintain regulatory compliance and accountability within the real estate industry. It ensures that salespersons operate under a licensed broker who is in good standing, safeguarding both the interests of the public and the integrity of the real estate market.

Maintaining this connection between the broker's status and that of the salespersons protects consumers by ensuring that salespersons are working under a broker who meets the licensing requirements. If a broker is no longer authorized to operate in the industry due to revocation or suspension, the salespersons they sponsor can no longer ethically conduct business, as they do not have a valid broker to represent them.

The other options are not automatic consequences of a broker's license being revoked or suspended, as they pertain more to contractual obligations or operational procedures rather than to the licensing status. For example, properties do not have to be sold immediately, the broker's office does not have to close right away, and existing contracts do not automatically require renegotiation.
