When a realtor terminates with a broker can the broker keep your buyers?

It comes down to the contract between the Realtor and the brokerage plus any contracts that might be still in force between the clients (buyers and seller) and the brokerage.

The personal relationship that exists between the Realtor and the clients is normally strong enough so that the clients follow the Realtor when they change shop. Assuming no existing contract for a current listing or buyer's broker agreement then there will be no ties back to the broker.

The broker is free to market to the people and to otherwise compete for their future business. The Realtor has no direct hold on the clients.

The Broker is entitled to retain any and all listings, at least until the listing expires.
