How the New Hampshire Real Estate Broker Bond Works
RSA 331-A:14 makes the bond payable to the State of New Hampshire for the benefit of any person aggrieved. The bond is conditioned on the faithful accounting by the principal or managing broker for all funds entrusted to the broker in that capacity. A person aggrieved may bring suit on the bond, while aggregate surety liability cannot exceed the bond's penal sum.
The bond involves three parties:
Principal: New Hampshire principal or managing real estate broker
Obligee: State of New Hampshire / New Hampshire Real Estate Commission
Surety: Surety company authorized to do business in New Hampshire

Who Needs the Bond?
The $25,000 surety bond requirement applies to principal brokers and managing brokers. New Hampshire's current licensing materials distinguish these roles from associate brokers, who do not have this bond requirement solely because they hold an associate broker license.
