Question

Molly, a successful real estate salesperson, took some time off to stay at home with her first child. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, months into years, until Molly's child was starting school. She decided she needed to head back to her profession and pick up where she left off. During her at-home time, Molly hadn't kept up with any CE requirements, nor had she renewed her license after its expiration almost three years earlier. Can Molly simply pick up where she left off?

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

A licensing agreement is a partnership between an intellectual property rights owner (licensor) and another who is authorized to use such rights (licensee) in exchange for an agreed payment (fee or royalty).

Molly cannot simply pick up where she left off because two years after the license expires, all license rights lapse. Molly must re-qualify through the examination process before being licensed in real estate once again.
