Brett has a broker's license as the owner of BIG Realty in Detroit, Michigan. Can he also be an associate broker for Towne Realty in Traverse City at the same time? No, a broker with his own practice cannot be an associate broker for anyone else. No, BIG Realty is more than 25 miles away from Towne Realty, so he can't work for both. He could have a salesperson's license for both, but not an associate broker's license. Yes, an individual can have any number of associate broker's licenses
