AgencyIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado listing broker discovers a material defect after the listing agreement is signed. Under the seller's agency, the broker's duty is to:

AImmediately terminate the listing agreement
BDisclose the defect to potential buyers as an adverse material factCorrect
CKeep the information confidential per loyalty to the seller, in general
DOnly disclose if the buyer specifically asks

Why Disclose the defect to potential buyers as an adverse material fact Is Correct

Answer B: Disclose the defect to potential buyers as an adverse material fact

Colorado license law requires brokers to disclose adverse material facts about the property to all parties regardless of fiduciary relationships. Loyalty to the seller does not override the duty to disclose known material defects.

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.
