Client Trust Accounts

The Clients Trust Account (“CTA”) project is sponsored by the Hawaii Real Estate Commission (“Commission”), and developed by the Hawaii Association of REALTORS® (“HAR”) pursuant to a contract between the Commission and HAR.

The CTA project was selected because of recent, high-profile cases involving the misuse and lack of a CTA, in some instances, that occurred in Hawaii.  The scenarios presented in the videos are based on actual cases investigated by the Regulated Industries Complaints Office (“RICO”).

The Commission encourages principal brokers to share the videos with their associated licensees, for education and risk management purposes.
