Broker-of-record oversight in commercial real estate is the licensed supervision and compliance framework that governs how commercial agents represent clients, market properties, prepare files, manage forms, disclose agency relationships, and handle compensation. The broker of record is responsible for ensuring brokerage activity follows applicable laws, rules, and internal procedures. For commercial agents, this oversight helps support complex activities such as investment sales, leasing, acquisitions, 1031-related transactions, and multi-state deal support.
Commercial transactions often involve sophisticated clients, unique asset classes, specialized documents, and larger financial exposure than simple referral activity. Broker oversight helps ensure the agent’s business stays inside the brokerage framework and that transaction files are reviewed properly.
Peritus CRE provides oversight while preserving agent autonomy. The platform is designed for experienced agents who do not want a heavy franchise structure but still need broker review, compliance processes, and access to a commercial brokerage infrastructure.

Licensed brokerage activity generally requires supervision by the responsible broker or broker of record according to state law and brokerage policy.
Oversight can include advertising review, transaction file review, forms, disclosures, compensation handling, and supervision of licensed activity.
No. The broker of record supervises brokerage activity but does not replace independent legal counsel.
