What is the broker's responsibility when supervising a newly licensed salesperson?

SUPERVISION OF NEW LICENSEES is a heightened obligation. The designated broker is vicariously liable for the acts of licencees under their supervision — meaning the broker can be disciplined and sued for things their agents do. For new agents specifically: provide orientation and training on brokerage procedures; review all contracts before submission; ensure new agents understand agency duties, disclosure requirements, and fair housing law; be accessible for questions; review their advertising before publication; follow up on client interactions. VICARIOUS LIABILITY: Courts have found brokers liable for their agents' misrepresentations, fair housing violations, and failure to disclose material defects — even when the broker was not personally involved, IF the broker failed to adequately supervise. This liability creates a strong incentive for active supervision.
