AgencyIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, 'sub-agency' means:

AThe buyer's broker working for the listing broker as their sub-agentCorrect
BAn agent working under the supervision of an employing broker, in general
CA broker who assists another broker on a referral basis
DThe transaction broker relationship

Why The buyer's broker working for the listing broker as their sub-agent Is Correct

Answer A: The buyer's broker working for the listing broker as their sub-agent

Sub-agency historically existed when a buyer's broker was considered an agent of the listing broker (and by extension, the seller). Colorado has largely moved away from sub-agency with the transaction broker model, but sub-agency can still be created by written agreement.

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.
