Real Estate Practice in Wyoming
Wyoming practice includes trust accounts maintained by the responsible broker and a duty to disclose known adverse material facts. This chapter covers trust money and the licensee's disclosure obligations.
Trust Accounts and Earnest Money
Client funds such as earnest money must be handled through the brokerage's trust account, which the responsible broker maintains, and kept separate from the broker's own funds. A salesperson who receives money must deliver it promptly to the responsible broker for deposit. Commingling or converting client money is one of the most serious violations of Wyoming license law.
Disclosure of Adverse Material Facts
Whether acting as an agent or working with a customer, a Wyoming licensee must disclose known adverse material facts about a property and deal honestly with all parties. A licensee may not conceal or misrepresent a known defect even at the seller's request. Honest disclosure protects consumers and reduces the licensee's exposure to complaints and liability.
Advertising and Honest Dealing
Advertising must be truthful and identify the brokerage; a salesperson may not advertise property independently of the responsible broker. Licensees must avoid misrepresentation and false or misleading statements. Accurate practice protects consumers and limits the licensee's exposure to discipline.
