Wyoming Agency
Practice Questions & Answers (2026)

Agency law is one of the most tested subjects on the Wyoming real estate exam, and it's also one of the most misunderstood. The Wyoming Real Estate Commission expects licensees to understand the legal duties owed to clients vs. customers, and the specific timing of required disclosures under Wyoming law. Study these questions carefully — candidates who rely on national agency frameworks and don't account for WY-specific rules are among the most common failures on the state portion.

Q1. In Wyoming, a real estate licensee's agency duties include all of the following EXCEPT:

A.Loyalty to the client
B.Confidentiality of the client's information
C.Guaranteeing the sale of the property
D.Disclosure of material facts

Explanation

Agency duties include loyalty, confidentiality, disclosure, obedience, reasonable care, and accounting. A licensee does not guarantee the sale of a property — that is beyond the scope of agency duties.

Q2. Under Wyoming law, a real estate licensee must disclose their agency status to all parties:

A.Only at closing
B.Before the first substantive contact or at first contact
C.Only when a representation agreement is signed
D.Only after the offer is submitted

Explanation

Wyoming requires licensees to disclose their agency status and the nature of the agency relationship before or at the first substantive contact with a buyer or seller.

Q3. A Wyoming buyer's agent learns the buyer's maximum budget is $500,000 though they are offering $440,000. This information is:

A.Must be disclosed to the seller immediately
B.Confidential and may not be disclosed without the buyer's consent
C.Required to be included in the offer
D.Must be shared with the MLS

Explanation

The buyer's maximum willingness to pay is confidential client information. A buyer's agent must keep this information confidential and may not disclose it to the seller or seller's agent without the buyer's permission.

Q4. In Wyoming, an in-house sale occurs when the listing broker also represents the buyer. The broker may act as:

A.A seller's agent exclusively
B.A buyer's agent exclusively
C.A dual agent with written consent from both parties
D.An independent contractor

Explanation

When the same brokerage represents both buyer and seller in the same transaction, dual agency is created. Wyoming permits dual agency with written informed consent from all parties.

Q5. A Wyoming listing agent owes which of the following duties to an unrepresented buyer?

A.Full fiduciary duties including loyalty
B.Honest dealing and disclosure of known material defects
C.No duties whatsoever
D.The same duties as to the seller

Explanation

While a listing agent's fiduciary duties run to the seller, the agent owes all parties (including unrepresented buyers) honesty and fair dealing, including disclosure of known material defects.

Q6. When a Wyoming listing agent represents the seller and facilitates the buyer without representation, the licensee acts as a:

A.Dual agent
B.Buyer's agent
C.Seller's agent/transaction facilitator
D.Subagent

Explanation

A licensee may represent only the seller while facilitating the transaction for an unrepresented buyer, acting as a seller's agent and transaction facilitator without creating an agency relationship with the buyer.

Q7. A Wyoming listing broker whose salesperson represents the buyer in the same transaction must:

A.Immediately withdraw representation of the seller
B.Obtain written informed consent from both parties to act as dual agent
C.Refer the buyer to another brokerage
D.Automatically become a transaction broker

Explanation

When one salesperson in a brokerage represents the seller and another represents the buyer, the brokerage becomes a dual agent. Wyoming requires written informed consent from both parties before proceeding.

Q8. In Wyoming, the duty of 'obedience' in an agency relationship means the agent must:

A.Follow all instructions even if illegal
B.Carry out the client's lawful instructions promptly
C.Obey the instructions of the other party's agent
D.Follow the WREC's orders over the client's orders

Explanation

The duty of obedience requires an agent to follow the client's lawful instructions. The agent is not required to follow unlawful instructions and may not do so.

Q9. A Wyoming seller's agent discovers the roof has a known leak the seller did not disclose. The agent must:

A.Keep the information confidential to protect the seller
B.Disclose the known material defect to prospective buyers
C.Only disclose if the buyer directly asks about the roof
D.Wait until after closing to mention the defect

Explanation

Agents have a duty to disclose known material defects affecting the property's value or desirability, even when representing the seller. Concealing a known defect is a violation of license law and agency duties.

Q10. A buyer's agent in Wyoming owes the duty of 'accounting' to their client. This means the agent must:

A.Prepare an annual tax return for the client
B.Account for all funds and documents received on behalf of the client
C.Provide a profit-and-loss statement for the transaction
D.Hire a CPA for each real estate transaction

Explanation

The duty of accounting requires an agent to account for all money, documents, and property received in the course of the agency relationship, and to promptly deliver them to the appropriate parties.
