Suzie Smith is a real estate sales associate. She is a top producer and likes to maintain her independence. She sets up her office in her home, independent of the broker. She maintains her own telephone, secretary, administrative assistant and cell phone. She communicates with her broker once a week or he comes to see her at her office. Is this a workable situation?

No

Explanation:

Suzie's situation isn't workable because she is meant to be under the direct supervision of her broker no matter what her personal preference for independence.  

This is because should anything go wrong in any of her dealings, the brokers's license will be revoked. This means that the broker is directly responsible and accountable for her actions and as such must ensure that she is present at the office at all times.

Cheers.
