Pennsylvania License Law

When a Pennsylvania broker places a licensee's license on inactive status, that licensee may:

AContinue to perform real estate services but not collect commissions
BPerform limited real estate tasks such as only attending open houses
CNot perform any acts requiring a real estate license until the license is reactivated✓ Correct
DAffiliate with a second broker to maintain active status while on inactive status with the first

Explanation

A Pennsylvania licensee on inactive status may not perform any act requiring a real estate license — including listing, selling, leasing, or negotiating real estate for compensation. Inactive status is appropriate when a licensee wants to maintain their license without actively practicing (for example, during a career break or while complying with continuing education requirements).
