What must happen to a salesperson's license when they change employers?

When a salesperson changes employers, it is essential for their license to reflect the current employment information. Updating the license with the new employer's information ensures that any publicly accessible records are accurate, which is important not only for compliance with licensing regulations but also for maintaining professionalism and transparency in the real estate industry.

This includes submitting any required forms or documentation to the licensing authority to indicate the change in employment. Keeping the license current protects the interest of all parties involved, including the salesperson, the new employer, and clients, as it confirms the scope of authority under which the salesperson is operating.

The other options don't align with the standard requirements for maintaining a valid and active salesperson's license after a change of employment. For example, remaining with the previous employer or surrendering the license would not facilitate the transfer and continuation of the sales role, while temporarily inactive status does not effectively represent the active commercial engagement that the salesperson would have in their new role.
