Q: I am the qualifying broker-owner of a real estate company. Recently, I received an employment offer from a prestigious real estate company to work as a broker-associate. May I continue working as the broker in my company and accept the broker associate job at the prestigious company?
A: No. You can’t be a broker in one company and a broker-associate in another. An associate (whether sales associate or broker-associate) may not hold multiple licenses and may not work for more than one real estate company. However, an individual who holds a broker’s license may hold multiple brokers licenses, entitling that person to work as a broker in multiple real estate companies.
