Question: 1 / 740

An unlicensed real estate assistant can be compensated by?

Any real estate agent

The broker or the salesperson

Real estate assistants are individuals who provide administrative and clerical support to licensed real estate agents. As they are not licensed themselves, state laws prohibit them from receiving compensation directly from clients (Option C) due to potential legal liability issues. They can only be paid by the licensed agents they work for, either the broker or the salesperson (Option B). While there are third-party services (Option D) that offer support for real estate agents, an unlicensed assistant cannot receive compensation from these services as they are not legally allowed to partake in real estate-related work. Similarly, an unlicensed assistant cannot be paid by just any real estate agent (Option A) as they are only authorized to work for one specific agent or broker. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
