Texas Real Estate Brokerage Sales Apprentice Education (SAE) Practice Exam

Which type of license allows a person to practice real estate while others may not?

1. Inactive

2. Revoked

3. Active

4. Suspended

The correct answer is: Active

The correct answer pertains to the type of license that signifies a person is legally permitted to engage in real estate transactions. An active license means that the individual has completed the necessary education, passed the required exams, and is compliant with all regulatory requirements, thereby allowing them to represent clients, list properties, and complete real estate transactions. An inactive license, on the other hand, indicates that the license holder is not currently practicing real estate, even though they have met all the requirements to hold a license. A revoked license means that the individual has lost their right to practice real estate due to violations or disciplinary actions taken by the licensing authority. Lastly, a suspended license implies that there is a temporary halt on the person's ability to practice real estate, often due to ongoing investigations or compliance issues. Therefore, only an active license provides the authorization needed to legally conduct real estate business while others cannot.
