A real property security endorsement is valid for:

  1. as long as the broker's license is valid, and it needs no further endorsement.

  2. multiples of 4 years.

  3. one year.

  4. the term of the broker's license to which the endorsement is affixed.

The correct answer is: as long as the broker's license is valid, and it needs no further endorsement.

The valid duration of a real property security endorsement is effectively tied to the term of the broker's license to which it is connected. This means that as long as the broker continues to hold a valid license, the endorsement itself remains in effect. The real property security endorsement is a specialized provision related to certain types of real estate transactions, especially those that involve financing and security interests in property. Because this endorsement is closely interconnected with the status of the broker's license, it does not require re-endorsement or renewal as long as the license remains current. In contrast, the other choices suggest durations or requirements that are not reflective of the endorsement's nature in relation to the broker’s license. For instance, options that refer to time periods like multiples of four years or a specific annual limit do not align with the actual practice regarding the endorsement's validity, which is primarily determined by the broker's licensing status.
