What term describes conditional arrangements in which FREC allows a licensee to continue to practice real estate, if the licensee completes specified requirements, typically 90 days?

• A. Reprimand
• B. Probation
• C. Suspension
• D. Administrative fine

Answer: (B)

Probation is a disciplinary status that allows a licensee to continue practicing under specific conditions and oversight, typically for a set period like 90 days. During this time, the licensee must meet prescribed requirements—such as additional education, compliance steps, or monitoring—and failure to do so can lead to harsher action. This makes probation more restrictive than a simple reprimand but less severe than suspension, since the license remains active under conditions. Reprimand is only a formal admonishment with no ongoing practice requirements; suspension temporarily stops the license; an administrative fine is a monetary penalty without keeping the license active under conditions.
