No
Yes, under the Timeshare Act
The Timeshare Act does not create an exception to the commingling prohibition. While it has specific regulations for timeshare properties, it does not allow brokers to mix client and personal funds.
Sometimes, with buyer permission
Buyer permission does not override the legal prohibition against commingling. Even with consent, brokers cannot legally commingle funds under Illinois law.
Sometimes, with seller permission

Why is this correct?
Brokers must maintain escrow money separate from personal accounts.
