Explanation
A salesperson who passes the exam but is not affiliated with a licensed broker has an inactive license. They cannot legally perform any acts requiring a real estate license. Only when the salesperson's license is associated with (held by) a supervising broker does it become active and allow the licensee to conduct real estate business.
