Michigan License Law

A Michigan real estate licensee who practices as an independent contractor rather than an employee is still required to:

APay self-employment taxes and carry their own liability insurance
BWork exclusively under a licensed Michigan broker's supervision✓ Correct
CRegister their independent contractor status with LARA
DMaintain a separate trust account for commissions

Explanation

Regardless of whether a Michigan licensee is classified as an employee or independent contractor for tax purposes, they must always work under the supervision of a licensed broker. Independent contractor status is a tax/employment classification, not a licensing status.
