What must happen when a licensee changes their affiliation in relation to reporting?

When a licensee changes their affiliation, it is essential for the old broker to report the change. This responsibility falls primarily on the old broker because they must update their records and notify the regulatory agency that the licensee is no longer affiliated with their brokerage. This ensures that the state and public records reflect the current status of the licensee's affiliation and that any obligations or responsibilities tied to that license are properly accounted for.

The new broker also plays a role, but the primary obligation to report the termination of the previous affiliation rests with the old broker. This reporting process is critical as it maintains accurate licensing records and helps prevent any confusion or issues related to the licensee's standing in the real estate market. Such procedures are established to uphold the integrity of the profession and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
