Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

No

Correct Answer
B

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.

C

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.

D

Sometimes, with seller permission

Seller permission does not create an exception to the commingling prohibition. Brokerage law strictly prohibits mixing client funds with personal accounts regardless of who gives permission.

Why is this correct?

Brokers must maintain escrow money separate from personal accounts.
