DEMANDS FROM BROKERS TO DISBURSE FUNDS

WHY ARE ESCROW HOLDERS PERMITTED TO DISBURSE FUNDS TO TRANSACTION PARTIES BUT FACE REGULATORY CONCERNS WHEN DISTRIBUTING EARNED COMMISSIONS TO LICENSED REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS? WHAT SPECIFIC STATUTES OR REGULATIONS DO DOI, DRE, AND DFPI RELY UPON WHEN RESTRICTING COMMISSION CHECK DISTRIBUTION SERVICES BY ESCROW COMPANIES, AND ARE THOSE INTERPRETATIONS CONSISTENT ACROSS AGENCIES? WHAT COMPLIANCE SAFEGUARDS WOULD REGULATORS EXPECT IF ESCROW COMPANIES WERE ALLOWED TO PROVIDE COMMISSION DISBURSEMENT SERVICES AS A CONVENIENCE TO CONSUMERS AND REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS?

MAYBE LET’S GET TOGETHER AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
