Robert holds a New Jersey broker's license and operates his own independent brokerage, Premier Properties. He wants to open a second office location in a neighboring county. Under New Jersey law, which of the following is required for the new branch office?

Correct Answer

B) The branch office must be registered with the NJREC and must be managed by a licensed broker or broker-salesperson.

Under N.J.S.A. 45:15-1 et seq. and NJREC regulations, each branch office must be separately registered with the NJREC. Additionally, the branch office must have a designated manager who holds either a broker's license or a broker-salesperson's license. This is one of the key practical applications of the broker-salesperson category in New Jersey: broker-salespersons are specifically eligible to manage branch offices on behalf of the employing broker.

Answer Options
A
The branch office must obtain its own independent broker's license separate from Premier Properties.
B
The branch office must be registered with the NJREC and must be managed by a licensed broker or broker-salesperson.
C
The branch office may operate under Robert's license without any additional registration as long as it uses the same trade name.
D
The branch office must be managed by a licensed broker who holds an independent broker's license, not a broker-salesperson.
