Real Estate Broker

One generally becomes a broker by first becoming a provisional broker and satisfying the Post licensing education requirements to terminate the provisional status of the license. A “full” broker can engage in brokerage EITHER as an affiliated agent of a real estate brokerage company (firm or sole proprietorship) under a broker-in-charge (BIC) OR independently as a sole proprietor or an entity. An independent broker-sole proprietor must be a broker-in-charge to lawfully engage in most brokerage activities.
