Sandra holds a New Jersey broker-salesperson license and has worked for ABC Realty for five years. Her broker, Mr. Chen, is opening a branch office across town and wants Sandra to manage it. Under New Jersey law, which of the following statements is correct regarding Sandra's ability to serve as branch office manager?

Correct Answer

B) Sandra can manage the branch office because a broker-salesperson is eligible to serve as a branch office manager under New Jersey law.

Under New Jersey law implementing N.J.S.A. 45:15-1 et seq., a broker-salesperson is eligible to serve as a branch office manager. This is one of the key distinctions of the broker-salesperson category: while a broker-salesperson cannot operate an independent brokerage, they can be placed in charge of a branch office under the supervision of the employing broker. This is a tested NJ-specific rule.

Answer Options
A
Sandra cannot manage the branch office because only a licensed broker with an independent brokerage can manage any office location.
B
Sandra can manage the branch office because a broker-salesperson is eligible to serve as a branch office manager under New Jersey law.
C
Sandra must first convert her broker-salesperson license to a full broker's license before managing the branch office.
D
Sandra can manage the branch office only if she has held her broker-salesperson license for at least ten years.
