If the principal broker learns that a licensee is conducting business independently, that principal broker must comply with Commission Regulation 10.1(a). (Amended 1/1/2010)(2) A principal broker may delegate supervisory responsibility to another broker by designating such broker as an "executive broker." The executive broker may sign offer and acceptance forms as supervising broker and can be responsible for instructing and supervising salespersons and/or brokers for whom the executive broker is responsible. The executive broker may also be delegated responsibility by the principal broker for administrative procedures required by the Commission, such as signing transfer applications. For each executive broker so designated, the principal broker must complete and file with the Commission an appropriate designation form signed by both the principal broker and the designated executive broker. The designation of an executive broker is effective when filed with the Commission.(3) Designation of one or more executive brokers does not absolve the principal broker of general responsibility for the conduct of all real estate business conducted by the principal broker's firm, and the principal broker is specifically responsible for the activities of all executive brokers.
