An associate broker is a licensed real estate professional who has met the education and experience requirements of a broker but operates under the supervision of another broker. They typically handle transactions, client interactions, and other duties similar to salespersons but with a greater depth of knowledge and capability.
A branch office is an auxiliary site of a business, often housing a subsidiary of the main real estate firm. While it operates separately from the main office, it is owned by the firm but managed by a licensed broker often referred to as an 'associate broker' or 'broker associate,' and may have other agents operating out of it.
