AgencyIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado buyer's broker who also shows one of their own listings to the buyer has a potential:

AA. No conflict of interest
BB. Dual agency conflict, requiring full written disclosure and consent from both partiesCorrect
CC. Automatic conversion to transaction brokerage, which reflects common industry practice
DD. Requirement to withdraw as buyer's broker

Why B. Dual agency conflict, requiring full written disclosure and consent from both parties Is Correct

Answer B: B. Dual agency conflict, requiring full written disclosure and consent from both parties

When a buyer's broker shows the buyer a property that the same broker (or their firm) has listed, a dual agency situation arises. In Colorado, this requires full written disclosure to both the buyer and seller and their informed written consent to proceed.

Exam Tip: Agency

Agency questions are among the most tested on the exam. Focus on the difference between client and customer, and memorize the fiduciary duties (OLD CAR). Watch for questions that try to blur the line between a general agent and a special agent.
