An original salesperson license is required for an individual who is to be employed as a salesperson under the control and supervision of a licensed broker. The license permits licensed activity only while in the employ of a broker. Salespersons’ licenses must be available for inspection in the broker’s main office. The salesperson can be compensated for work as an agent only by the salesperson’s employing broker – not by any other broker, other salesperson, client, or other person, according to Sections 10132 and 10137 of the Code.
