How long can the Designated Broker (DB) be away from the office without having someone fill in as DB for him him/her?
The DB or Branch Manager can be absent up to 21 days without someone assigned to monitor the office. Between 21 and 60 days the DB must appoint an Associate Broker from his/her office or a DB from another office to manage the office in his/her absence and must provide notification of the appointment to the Commission. After 60 days of DB absence, the company must either appoint a new DB or shut down the company.
