How many bank accounts must brokers have when managing real estate at their office?

In the context of property management in Nevada, brokers are required to maintain a specific number of bank accounts to ensure proper financial management and compliance with state regulations. Brokers must have three types of accounts: one for their operating funds, one for tenant security deposits, and one for other client funds.

The necessity of having these three bank accounts serves several purposes. It helps in segregating the funds, ensuring that tenant security deposits are not mistakenly mixed with the broker's operational funds. This segregation protects both the tenants' interests and the management company’s integrity. It also simplifies accounting, as it keeps the financial activities organized and assists in complying with the fiduciary responsibilities owed to clients. By adhering to this structure, brokers can provide transparency and accountability in the management of these funds.
