What is required of a principal broker in regard to trust fund management?

  1. Must maintain a personal account for trust funds

  2. Either maintain a separate trust account or have an escrow agent

  3. Donate a portion to charity

  4. Invest them for short-term gains

The correct answer is: Either maintain a separate trust account or have an escrow agent

A principal broker is responsible for managing the trust funds of their clients, which includes any funds held in escrow for real estate transactions. As such, it is necessary for a principal broker to either maintain a separate trust account for these funds or have them held by an escrow agent. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because maintaining a personal account, donating funds to charity, or investing for short-term gains would not fulfill the principal broker's duty to properly manage and safeguard the trust funds.
