AgencyIntermediateColorado Exam

Under Colorado law, a broker may change from a transaction broker to a seller's agent only if:

AThe buyer requests it in writing
BThe seller requests it and a written agreement is signedCorrect
CThe MLS rules require single agency for the listing, in general
DThe transaction has already closed

Why The seller requests it and a written agreement is signed Is Correct

Answer B: The seller requests it and a written agreement is signed

Changing from transaction broker status to single agency (seller's agent) requires a written agreement between the broker and the seller creating the agency relationship. The default in Colorado is transaction brokerage absent such an 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.
