Which of the following is a responsibility of a managing broker regarding their clients?

A managing broker has a vital role in ensuring that the agents under their supervision adhere to legal and professional standards, including the submission of proper education certifications. This responsibility encompasses ensuring that all real estate agents are appropriately qualified and licensed to conduct transactions, thus maintaining compliance with state regulations and enhancing the professionalism of the brokerage. By overseeing this aspect of their firm's operations, the managing broker safeguards the integrity of the practice and the interests of clients in the real estate market.

On the other hand, while managing brokers may engage in negotiations or transactions, they are not required to handle all transactions personally, nor are they tasked with preventing the sale of distressed properties. Additionally, representing every client in negotiations may not solely fall under the managing broker's duties, as they may delegate these responsibilities to licensed agents.
