A real estate agent sold a home for $275,000. Prior to closing, the agent's license was revoked on grounds of moral turpitude. With respect to his eligibility for the commission, which of the following statements is true?
A. He is eligible for the commission because he was duly licensed when the sale was made
B. He is eligible for the commission because he is technically licensed until all appeals have been exhausted
C. He is not eligible for a commission because he was not licensed at the time the commission was paid
D. He is not eligible for a commission because a license revocation automatically nullifies any right to commission that are yet unpaid
Answer: A. He is eligible for the commission because he was duly licensed when the sale was made.
The commission is earned when the sale is made, not when it is paid (at closing). The agent's license was revoked after the sale was made, so the agent was eligible for a commission when the services were provided and is still entitled to collect it.
