In Wyoming, a brokerage firm may assign a particular licensee to represent a client through a:

  • a.Net listing arrangement
  • b.Blind escrow
  • c.Novation agreement
  • d.Designated-licensee (designated agency) arrangement

Wyoming recognizes designated agency, in which the Responsible Broker designates a specific licensee to represent a client. This allows different licensees in the same firm to represent different parties. Understanding designated-licensee agency and the disclosures it requires is part of the state agency content.

Designated-Licensee Agency and Broker Education

A Wyoming licensee must disclose the brokerage relationship being offered to a consumer so that the consumer:

  • a.Understands who, if anyone, represents them before sharing confidential information
  • b.Can set the commission rate
  • c.Receives a guarantee of the property's condition
  • d.Is exempt from signing any contract

Wyoming agency disclosure is informational and timed so consumers understand whether a licensee represents the seller, the buyer, or is acting under a designated or other relationship before they reveal negotiating information. It does not set commission, warrant condition, or replace the transaction contracts.
