• a.Only from their own broker-in-charge or firm✓
• b.Directly from the buyer with no firm involvement

A provisional broker or affiliated broker in North Carolina may accept compensation for brokerage activity only through their own firm or broker-in-charge, not directly from clients or other firms. This keeps compensation flowing through the supervising firm, which is responsible for the broker's conduct. Accepting money directly from a client or the other firm would violate License Law.
