In a multi-office brokerage, who typically supervises daily operations?

In a multi-office brokerage, it is typically the branch managers who supervise daily operations. Branch managers play a crucial role in ensuring that the activities within their specific office align with the overall goals of the brokerage. They are responsible for overseeing agents, providing guidance, managing transactions, and addressing any issues that arise on a day-to-day basis.

This supervision includes handling administrative tasks, ensuring compliance with regulations, and maintaining quality service to clients. By having dedicated branch managers, brokerages can operate more efficiently, allowing for a more localized approach to management that caters to the specific needs of each office and its agents.

In contrast, while the broker of record holds ultimate responsibility for the brokerage's compliance and strategic direction, they may not manage everyday tasks directly. The administrative staff focuses more on support functions rather than supervisory roles. Outside agents, typically, operate independently and do not have a role in supervising the brokerage's operations.
