Explanation

Oregon law requires real estate licensees managing property to hold client funds (including rents) in a designated trust account that is separate from personal and business operating funds. Commingling trust funds with personal funds is a serious violation that can result in license suspension or revocation. Trust account records must be maintained and are subject to OREA audit.
