A broker is typically prohibited from holding their own personal money in an escrow account. Escrow accounts are meant to hold client funds securely for transactions and must be kept separate from the broker's personal finances to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Any funds held in escrow should solely belong to clients or third parties involved in the transaction.

The borrower pays monthly into the account. When the loan is refinanced, the home owner may have the option of rolling the existing escrow balance over into a new escrow account held by the new lender, or managing the money directly. If there is an escrow account then the monthly amount is included as part of the total monthly mortgage payment, and the lender pays property taxes and hazard insurance out of the account. If the borrower chooses not to have an escrow account, then the borrower is responsible for paying property taxes and insurance.
