Disciplinary Guidelines for Failing to Reconcile Escrow Accounts

Reblogger Paula Stone
Real Estate Agent with Crystal Palms Realty

If I were a broker, I would prefer to have my escrow deposits handled by a title company.  That is the easiest thing in my opinion.  I do not personally know any brokers who have there own escrow accounts.

Florida Brokers who fail to reconcile their escrow accounts at least monthly are subject to a citation.

Rule 61J2-24.002 provides that a broker may be issued a citation if the broker fails to properly reconcile an escrow account even though the account balances.


Rule 61J2-24.002(dd)
states that the broker is subject to a $500 citation.

A citation may be issued only when the
account balances. Any shortage, regardless of how small, results in a case against the broker. Cases are prosecuted through the Commission's regular disciplinary process.

Hi, Paula.   Greetings from Tallahassee.

      One of the best things about being a Real Estate Broker in Florida, is that you are not required to maintain an Escrow Account.   Other than Property Managers, there are only a couple of Brokers in Tallahassee that admit to having Escrow Accounts.

     Why take the risk?  Escrow Violations are the #1 Disciplinary Action taken by FREC.   It is so much easier to have the deposit checks made out to the Title Company or Title Attorney!
