What should a licensee do after their Real Estate License has been sent to the Commission for transfer?

When a licensee has their Real Estate License sent to the Commission for transfer, the appropriate action is to wait for the new license to be issued under the new sponsoring broker. This is important because the license is a legal document that allows the individual to operate in a certain capacity within the real estate industry. Once the transfer is initiated, the licensee is in a transitional phase and cannot legally conduct real estate transactions until they have received the new license.

Maintaining compliance with state regulations is crucial for continuing to practice legally, and operating under an old license or without a valid license during this time could result in disciplinary actions or penalties from the real estate commission. Thus, the proper course of action is to wait for the official confirmation and issuance of the new license before engaging in any real estate activity under the new broker.

This option also prioritizes the professional integrity and legal standing of the licensee, ensuring they are fully compliant with the Louisiana Real Estate Commission's rules and regulations before proceeding with their practice.
