When handling the funds entrusted to you by others, you are constantly faced with decisions that will either increase or decrease your exposure to risk. With that being said, the proper handling of escrow funds is not only a fiduciary duty of real estate licensees, but it’s also the law, and it’s one of the 12 basic duties expected of all Virginia real estate licensees.
