Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam — All Questions

The minimum age and minimum general education for a Utah real estate sales agent applicant are:

• a.21 years old, with a high school diploma or a GED
• b.18 years old, with two years of college credit
• c.18 years old, with a high school diploma or GED✓
• d.21 years old, with no general education minimum

Utah rules set the applicant's minimum age at 18 and require a high school diploma, a GED, or equivalent education the commission approves. The applicant must also evidence honesty, integrity, truthfulness, reputation and competency, which the Division and commission assess from criminal history, civil fraud judgments and professional discipline. Cite: Utah Admin. Code R162-2f-201(1)-(4).

A Utah applicant finishes the prelicensing course on June 1. The rules give the applicant, to pass both the state and national exam components:

• a.Six months from the date the course is completed
• b.Twelve months from the course completion date✓
• c.Twenty-four months from the course completion date
• d.No deadline, provided the application is filed later

Both components must be passed within 12 months of completing the prelicensing education. If the applicant passes one component and fails the other, the failed one must be retaken within six months of passing the first and still inside that 12-month window, and the licensure application is then due within 90 days of passing both. Cite: Utah Admin. Code R162-2f-202a(3).

To renew an active Utah sales agent license at the end of the FIRST license period, the licensee completes the Mandatory 3-Hour CE course, three more hours, and:

• a.Nine hours of core curriculum
• b.A second state licensing examination
• c.Twelve months of supervised transactions
• d.The 12-hour new sales agent course✓

Utah splits its continuing education requirement in two. The first renewal is the 12-hour new sales agent course plus the Mandatory 3-Hour CE course plus three more non-duplicative hours, 18 in total. Every renewal after that is 18 non-duplicative hours including at least nine core hours, three of which are the Mandatory 3-Hour CE course. Cite: Utah Admin. Code R162-2f-204(2)(b)(i)-(ii); Utah Code 61-2f-204(2)(a)(ii).

A Utah sales agent who wants to apply for a principal broker or associate broker license must first have:

• a.Three years of full-time experience, or its equivalent✓
• b.Two years of full-time experience under one broker
• c.Five years of experience and a bachelor's degree
• d.One year of experience plus 120 class hours

Three years' full-time experience as a sales agent or the equivalent is required before an applicant may apply for and secure a principal broker or associate broker license. The commission sets by rule when experience or special education in similar fields substitutes, and an applicant relicensed after a revocation gets no credit for experience earned before it. Cite: Utah Code 61-2f-203(1)(f), (5)(b).

The principal broker of a Utah brokerage dies unexpectedly. The Division may inactivate the brokerage's registration if a replacement is not in place within:

• d.The end of the current license period

The Division may inactivate a real estate brokerage's registration if, on the death or incapacity of its principal broker, the brokerage fails to replace the principal broker within 14 days, and affiliated licensees must stop licensed activity until a new or acting principal broker is in place. An acting principal broker may not take on new clients or run the brokerage for more than four months. Cite: Utah Admin. Code R162-2f-202e(1), (4), (7).
