What is the maximum amount a single claimant may receive from the recovery fund?

The maximum amount a single claimant may receive from the recovery fund is $20,000. This figure is established to provide a limit on the compensation available for individuals who have suffered a financial loss due to the misconduct of a licensed real estate professional. The purpose of the recovery fund is to ensure that there is adequate compensation available for claimants while also protecting the fund's sustainability for future claims. The $20,000 limit allows for a substantial recovery for individual claimants without depleting the fund too rapidly, which is crucial for ongoing financial viability and the ability to address future claims.
