    Study Notes

    Brokerage Disclosure Requirements in Wyoming

    • Real estate licensees in Wyoming have specific disclosure obligations when engaging in real estate transactions.

    • Disclosure of agency relationships is crucial for both buyers and sellers to understand their rights and obligations.

    • Brokerage disclosure forms are not required for open houses, preliminary conversations, or general inquiries about real estate.

    • Disclosure forms are required before engaging in discussions or arrangements incidental to a sale, such as negotiating prices or discussing terms of the sale.

    • Wyoming Statutes 33-28-306 sets forth the requirements for brokerage disclosure forms, which must clearly outline:

      • Different types of available agency relationships: sellers, buyers, intermediary, and customer.
      • Negotiability of compensation for each relationship.
      • Duties and obligations associated with each relationship.
      • The distinction between duties owed by an agent versus an intermediary.
      • The inability to modify an established relationship without written consent from both parties.
      • The non-agent, non-advocate role of an intermediary.
      • Potential vicarious liability for the actions of agents, subagents, or intermediaries if approved or directed by the buyer or seller.
      • Lack of confidentiality for customers.
      • A designated space for the buyer or seller's signature acknowledging receipt of the disclosure.
    • The disclosure form is not a listing agreement or buyer's agency agreement and doesn't create an agency relationship.

    • If a buyer or seller has a listing agreement or buyer's agreement with the broker but hasn't signed the brokerage disclosure, their agreement is considered void.

    • The exception is if the buyer or seller refuses to sign the disclosure and that refusal is documented.

    • Licensees must provide notice of their agency relationship to all parties involved at the first reasonable opportunity.

    • Disclosures made in accordance with Wyoming Statute 33-28-306 are considered sufficient to ensure transparency regarding agency relationships.
