Q: If a broker's license was inactive when the broker procured a listing, is the listing contract valid? 

A: No. Section 475.41, Florida Statutes, provides, "No contract for a commission or compensation for any act or service enumerated in Section 475.01(3), is valid unless the broker or sales associate has complied with this chapter in regard to issuance and renewal of the license at the time the act or service was performed."
