For Property Managers

Wyo. Real Estate Comm'n R. ch. 5 § 2 means that as a Responsible Broker or property manager maintaining trust or escrow accounts, keeping thorough and well-organized records is a standard part of compliant operations. Brokers who maintain accurate, up-to-date account documentation are generally well-positioned when the Commission exercises its audit authority. Routine internal reviews of trust and escrow account records are a common practice among operators seeking to stay aligned with Commission rules and Wyoming statutes.
