How long is a Designated Broker required to keep copies of rejected offers and counter offers?

The requirement for a Designated Broker to keep copies of rejected offers and counter offers for a period of one year aligns with state regulatory standards. This retention period ensures that there is a sufficient history available if questions or disputes arise related to the transaction. Keeping these documents for a year helps maintain transparency in the brokerage process, allowing both the broker and clients to reference decisions made during that timeframe.

While other durations may be common for different types of documents in real estate, the one-year retention specifically pertains to rejected offers and counter offers. This timeframe also aids in closing transaction records and helps ensure compliance with any potential audits or reviews by regulatory bodies.
