How Do I Check If a Property Manager Is Licensed in Wyoming?
Search the Wyoming Real Estate Commission's public license lookup at realestate.wyo.gov. Enter the person's or brokerage's name — it returns license status, license type, issue date, and any disciplinary history. The check takes under a minute and it's the fastest way to confirm a manager is bound by Wyoming's trust-account and fiduciary-duty rules.
Why this matters before you sign anything
Wyoming property management is a licensed activity under W.S. § 33-28-102. A license means the manager is bound by state rules: a written management agreement, a dedicated trust account (§ 33-28-122), and a fiduciary duty enforceable by a state regulator.
Step-by-step: the WREC lookup
- Go to realestate.wyo.gov and find the license lookup tool.
- Search by the individual's name or the brokerage's name.
- Confirm the license is active.
- Check the license type.
- Review any disciplinary history.
What "in good standing" actually means
An active license in good standing means the license hasn't been suspended, revoked, or lapsed, and there's no unresolved disciplinary action — it guarantees a baseline of regulatory accountability, not service quality.
Red flags worth asking about directly
- A manager or co-host who can't or won't give a name to search
- A brokerage name that doesn't match any licensed entity
- Reluctance to put the relationship in writing
- No mention of a trust account
