AgencyIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, a broker acting as a 'transaction broker' is sometimes described as providing 'limited representation' because:

AA. The broker only shows the property once
BB. The broker assists both parties with ministerial tasks without owing full fiduciary duties to either partyCorrect
CC. The broker charges a lower commission
DD. Only one broker is involved in the transaction, which is broadly consistent with standard practice statewide

Why B. The broker assists both parties with ministerial tasks without owing full fiduciary duties to either party Is Correct

Answer B: B. The broker assists both parties with ministerial tasks without owing full fiduciary duties to either party

A transaction broker provides 'limited representation' — they assist both the buyer and seller with the mechanics of the transaction (document preparation, scheduling, coordination) but do not owe fiduciary duties of loyalty, confidentiality, or undivided loyalty to either party. They owe limited statutory duties: honesty, reasonable care, and accounting.

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.
