How can a sales license holder terminate their association with a sponsoring broker?

A sales license holder can terminate their association with a sponsoring broker by providing written notice. This is a formal and clear method of communication that ensures both the sales agent and the broker have a documented record of the termination. Written notice protects both parties and helps to avoid any misunderstandings regarding the end of the association.

Using a written format means that the details of the termination, including the date and any other relevant information, can be easily referenced. This formal documentation is essential in the real estate industry, where clear records are necessary for compliance and for any future inquiries or disputes.

While oral agreements or notifications may sometimes be accepted in less formal situations, they do not provide the same level of clarity and protection as a written notice. Simply not showing up for work or notifying clients does not constitute a proper termination of the working relationship, as it may lead to confusion or ongoing obligations. Therefore, the most appropriate and professional way to terminate the association is through a written notice.
