After listing a property for sale, a broker associate decides to move to another brokerage company. What will happen to the listing?

In the context of real estate, when a broker associate moves to a different brokerage, any listings they have secured while at their previous brokerage will typically remain with that original brokerage. This situation arises because listings are generally considered assets of the brokerage that entered into the agreement with the property owner. The broker associate is often acting as an agent for the brokerage, not for themselves personally. Therefore, the contractual agreement with the seller is held by the brokerage, and it does not transfer automatically to a new brokerage just because the broker associate has changed companies.

The other options, such as transferring the listing to the new brokerage or making the listing void, do not reflect standard practice in the real estate industry. The listing being void would imply that it is no longer valid, which isn't the case merely due to a change in the broker associate's employment. Additionally, requiring the listing to be re-signed by the owner is not necessary, as the original listing agreement with the original brokerage remains legally binding. Therefore, the listing continues with the original brokerage, regardless of the broker associate's change in employment.
