AgencyIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, an 'open listing' agreement means:

AA. The property is listed on the MLS without restrictions
BB. The seller can give the listing to multiple brokers and only pays a commission to the broker who procures the buyerCorrect
CC. Any member of the public can sell the property and earn a commission, which most practitioners would generally accept
DD. The seller must accept any offer at or above the list price

Why B. The seller can give the listing to multiple brokers and only pays a commission to the broker who procures the buyer Is Correct

Answer B: B. The seller can give the listing to multiple brokers and only pays a commission to the broker who procures the buyer

In an open listing, the seller retains the right to list with multiple brokers simultaneously and only pays a commission to whichever broker actually procures the buyer (the 'procuring cause'). If the seller sells it themselves, no commission is owed.

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.
