What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Hampshire licenses real estate brokers under the Real Estate Practice Act (RSA 331-A). Before a principal or managing broker license issues or renews, the broker must give the Real Estate Commission a surety bond of not less than $25,000 — it's the financial backstop behind the money you handle as a broker.
The bond is payable to the State of New Hampshire for the benefit of any person aggrieved, and is conditioned on the broker faithfully accounting for all funds entrusted to the broker in that capacity. If a broker mishandles trust money or earnest-money deposits, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The surety can cancel by filing 30 days' written notice with the Commission, so we track your bond and notify you well ahead of expiration to keep your filing continuous.
