How many office locations can a single BIC serve at one time?

A broker-in-charge (BIC) in North Carolina can only serve one office location at a time. This is established to ensure that the BIC can provide adequate supervision and oversight of the real estate activities occurring at that office. Being responsible for only one location allows the BIC to maintain a high level of professional oversight, ensuring compliance with real estate laws and ethical standards. This supervision is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the real estate practice and providing guidance to the agents under their management.

The other options imply that a BIC could manage multiple locations simultaneously, which would lead to potential conflicts of interest and diluted oversight responsibilities, ultimately compromising the quality of service and compliance.
