In a Real Estate Brokerage Partnership, who can Perform Real Estate Services?

• A. Only Active Brokers Can Perform Services
• B. Any Partner Can Perform Services
• C. Only Unlicensed DBPR-Registered Individuals Can Perform Services
• D. Only Sales Associates Can Perform Services

Answer: (A)

Real estate services can only be performed by licensed individuals who are actively authorized to practice and, in a brokerage partnership, by the person in charge of the brokerage. The key rule is that a brokerage must have an active broker in charge who can lawfully supervise and engage in real estate activities. While licensed sales associates can conduct transactions, they do so under the supervision of that active broker; they do not perform independently in a way that would replace the broker's authority.

Therefore, the ability to perform real estate services in a Real Estate Brokerage Partnership rests with the active broker. This is why unlicensed individuals cannot perform those services, and why sales associates, though licensed, perform under the supervision of an active broker rather than acting on their own.
