A North Carolina non-provisional broker at ABC Realty has been working with a buyer client to help them purchase a house listed by XYZ Realty. After the transaction closes, who will pay the non-provisional broker the commission they earned?
In North Carolina, only a broker-in-charge (BIC) or firm can receive compensation directly for brokerage services. All brokers, whether provisional or not, must be paid through their affiliated BIC or firm. In this case, the buyer agent is affiliated with ABC Realty, so the firm or its BIC receives the compensation—typically from XYZ Realty’s firm via the co-brokerage agreement—and then disburses the earned commission to the broker. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
