Connecticut License Law

A Connecticut licensee is also a licensed attorney. When the licensee is acting as an attorney in a real estate transaction, their real estate license law obligations:

ADo not apply—attorneys are exempt from real estate license law
BStill apply if the person is acting in a real estate brokerage capacity (representing a party as an agent for compensation)✓ Correct
CAre superseded by their attorney's license
DOnly apply if the licensee is not representing a client in court

Explanation

An attorney who also holds a real estate license must comply with real estate license law when acting in a brokerage capacity (e.g., listing property for sale for a commission). The attorney exemption in Connecticut license law only applies when an attorney acts in their legal capacity, not in a real estate brokerage capacity.
