📖 What you need to know

In Massachusetts, client and escrow money such as deposits must be kept separate from the broker's own funds in a designated escrow or trust account, and commingling these funds with personal or business accounts is prohibited. The broker is responsible for proper handling and accounting of these monies. Real estate licenses are renewed on a recurring cycle, and licensees must complete approved continuing-education requirements to remain in good standing and keep their license active.
