CC. Use reasonable skill and care
DD. Act with undivided loyalty to the buyerCorrect

Why D. Act with undivided loyalty to the buyer Is Correct

Answer D: D. Act with undivided loyalty to the buyer

A transaction broker in Colorado does NOT owe the buyer undivided loyalty (that is a fiduciary duty). A transaction broker owes limited statutory duties: honesty, reasonable skill and care, proper accounting, disclosure of material facts affecting value, advising the party to seek expert advice on matters outside the broker's expertise, and timely presentation of offers.

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.
