Agency
What is a 'real estate team' leader's responsibility for team members' compliance in Hawaii?
AA. Team leaders are responsible only for their own compliance; team members are individually responsible
BB. Team leaders have a supervisory responsibility to train, guide, and monitor team members' compliance with license law and professional standards, similar to a principal broker's supervisory role✓ Correct
CC. Compliance responsibility rests entirely with the principal broker; team leaders have no supervisory duty
DD. Team leaders are only responsible if they directly participate in a transaction
Explanation
Real estate team leaders, while not holding the same formal authority as a principal broker, have professional and potentially legal responsibility for guiding their team members' compliance. A team leader who knows of misconduct and fails to address it, or who directs non-compliant practices, may share liability. The principal broker retains ultimate supervisory responsibility for all team members.
