AgencyIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, a broker who represents both landlord and tenant in a lease transaction acts most appropriately as:

AA dual agent with full fiduciary duties to both, as a general rule
BA transaction broker providing limited services to both partiesCorrect
CThe landlord's exclusive agent only
DAn unlicensed referral agent

Why A transaction broker providing limited services to both parties Is Correct

Answer B: A transaction broker providing limited services to both parties

When a Colorado broker facilitates a lease transaction representing both landlord and tenant, transaction brokerage is the appropriate relationship. The broker provides assistance and limited services without representing either party as their exclusive advocate.

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.
