How hairy are intermediaries non-competes?

First - thanks Searchfunder community for so much love on my inaugural post! I'm back...

Super curious how the business brokerage ecosystem handles non-competes. Asked another way, could a broker from Transworld / Murphy Business Brokers, etc join another broker and take their listings with them? Seems highly unlikely, but I can't seem to find any details on their website saying otherwise. Any insight appreciated!

In CA, the listing is with the brokerage, not the broker so no.
