How many brokers can a sales associate or broker associate work for simultaneously?

A sales associate or broker associate is permitted to work for only one broker at any given time. This regulation helps to maintain a clear line of responsibility and accountability in the real estate transaction process. Having a singular point of supervision ensures that the associate receives proper training, guidance, and support from their broker, which is essential for professional development and adherence to local real estate laws and practices.

Working for more than one broker simultaneously could lead to conflicts of interest, confusion among clients, and dilute the effectiveness of the associate’s efforts, as they may struggle to align their work with multiple brokers' strategies and expectations. Thus, the structure is designed to maintain professionalism and ethical standards within the real estate industry.
