A licensee's ability to hold both a Broker and Salesperson license depends on state regulations. Usually, individuals choose one as a broker's license is a step up from a salesperson's license. Some states may allow holding both, but one would act in only one capacity at a time.
Whether a licensee can hold both a Broker and Salesperson license simultaneously often depends on the regulations of the specific state in which they practice. Typically, real estate professionals must choose one license or the other, because a broker's license is usually the next step up from a salesperson's license and comes with additional responsibilities and education requirements.
In some states, an individual may hold both licenses, but they would generally act in one capacity at a time. For example, they might be a broker in their own office but also hold a salesperson license under another broker in a different practice. It's essential to understand the local state laws and real estate commission regulations to determine the permissibility and practical implications of holding both licenses.
