While three of a salesperson's listings are active

This statement is incomplete and does not directly address a specific action that is permissible. While leaving one broker for another is a common practice, it does not clarify any specific actions that are compliant with the law regarding client communications or listing transfers.

Accepting compensation from a former broker for a listing sold during the original listing term violates New Jersey Real Estate License Law. The agreement typically dictates that commissions are to be paid to the broker under whose supervision the sale occurred, and the salesperson cannot claim compensation after leaving the broker.

This action would violate the rules governing brokerage representation. Once a salesperson is affiliated with a new broker, they cannot represent listings that are still under the former broker’s office, as this could create conflicts and confusion regarding representation.

Taking office files without permission from the former broker is a breach of ethical conduct and legal standards. Client information and listing files are considered property of the brokerage, and transferring them without consent is prohibited.
