Q: My real estate license is listed as “involuntary inactive,” because I forgot to renew it with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. May my broker pay me for work I did on a listing that closed before my license became inactive?
A: Probably so. According to Section 475.25(1)(h), Florida Statutes, although your broker isn’t allowed to share a commission with any person who is not properly licensed as a broker, broker associate or sales associate in Florida, he or she could pay you if you were properly licensed during the entire time you conducted the real estate activity.
