Which statement describes the WA activity an out-of-state licensee may perform?

• A. They may only perform commercial transactions and must cooperate with a WA-licensed brokerage
• B. They may perform any activity without WA involvement
• C. They may perform residential sales but not commercial
• D. They must first obtain WA licensure for all activities

Answer: (A)

Out-of-state licensees may practice in Washington only under supervision of a Washington-licensed brokerage and only for commercial transactions. This arrangement ensures activities in WA are overseen by a state-licensed broker, protecting consumers and ensuring compliance with Washington real estate laws. Residential transactions are not allowed for an out-of-state licensee without obtaining WA licensure, and WA does not permit unrestricted practice by nonresidents. So the statement that fits is that they may only handle commercial transactions and must cooperate with a WA-licensed brokerage.
