An unlicensed personal assistant can be employed by:

  1. Any licensee in firm, sales employee

  2. Only by the firm owner

  3. Any real estate licensee in the state

  4. Real estate agencies only

The correct answer is: Any licensee in firm, sales employee

An unlicensed personal assistant can be employed by any licensee in a firm, including sales employees. This is correct because the role of a personal assistant often involves performing administrative tasks that do not require a real estate license, such as managing schedules, preparing documents (as long as they are not engaging in real estate brokerage activities), and providing general support to licensed individuals without actively participating in the sale or leasing of property. The distinction lies in the nature of the work performed by an unlicensed assistant. These individuals support licensed agents but must not engage in any activities defined as real estate transactions, such as negotiating contracts or showing properties. By allowing unlicensed personal assistants to work with any licensee within a firm, the law facilitates the support that agents need while maintaining necessary boundaries regarding who can perform licensed activities.
