What is true when a broker is absent from their business?

When a broker is absent from their business for an extended period, it is required that a designated office manager be named, particularly when the broker's absence is anticipated to last for 15 days or more. This provision exists to ensure continuity of operations and that there is someone accountable in the absence of the broker. This designated office manager is responsible for overseeing the daily activities of the real estate business, maintaining compliance with regulations, and serving as a point of contact for clients and staff. The focus on a 15-day absence reflects the need to have structured management in place to handle ongoing business tasks and responsibilities effectively.

This requirement emphasizes the importance of maintaining a professional standard and operational efficiency in a real estate business, especially when the primary broker cannot be present.
