When may the commissioner inspect a broker's trust account records?

The commissioner has the authority to inspect a broker's trust account records at any time. This provision is vital for ensuring compliance with state regulations and maintaining the integrity of the real estate industry. By allowing inspections to occur at any time, the commissioner can monitor trust account practices, ensure that funds are properly handled, and address any potential issues before they escalate. This proactive approach helps protect consumers and maintain trust in the real estate profession.

While other options suggest limited circumstances for inspection, the reality is that the commissioner’s ability to conduct inspections at any time ensures thorough oversight of real estate practices, which is essential for promoting ethical conduct and compliance with the law.
