When registering a Real Estate Brokerage Corporation with the DBPR, which item must be listed?

• A. The company's color scheme
• B. The annual revenue
• C. The physical address of the principal office
• D. Names of all officers and directors

Answer: (D)

The key idea is governance and accountability. When a Real Estate Brokerage Corporation registers with the DBPR, regulators must know who actually controls the firm and who is legally responsible for its real estate activities. Listing the names of all officers and directors provides a clear map of who has corporate authority, who makes decisions, and who can be held accountable if something goes wrong. This information helps the DBPR verify eligibility, designate the appropriate corporate officers who may hold a license or supervise licensees, and oversee regulatory compliance, including trust accounts and disciplinary matters. Other details like a color scheme or annual revenue don’t affect licensure, and while the principal office address is part of business registration, the requirement that directly ties to license oversight is identifying the individuals who hold officer and director roles.
