Property Management Laws in Wyoming

Must Wyoming property management companies have a real estate broker's license?

YES. Property management is expressly considered a real estate activity under existing Wisconsin real estate licensing laws. Property management is defined as â??the act of management for compensation of real estate for another, including collection of rents, maintenance of the real estate and accounting of fees received for another.â?? If a property manager is going to rent, manage or lease, or offer to rent, manage or lease real estate, or negotiate or attempt to negotiate to perform any of those acts, or list real estate for lease, or collect, offer or attempt to collect rent, or if he or she holds herself out as engaging in any of those activities, he or she will need a broker's license. A salesperson working under a broker may engage in such activities.

Are there any exceptions to the requirement that a Wyoming property manager hold a real estate broker's license?

YES. For example, an owner of real estate or a member of his or her immediate family or his or her regular employees with respect to the property owned unless the owner, the immediate family or the employee is a real estate licensee, is exempt. In addition, any person or employee acting as the resident manager for a broker managing an apartment building, duplex, apartment complex or court, when the resident manager resides on the premises and is engaged in the leasing of real estate in connection with his or her employment is also exempt, unless that person is a real estate licensee.
