In Colorado, a buyer's broker agreement must be in writing to: (1) satisfy the Statute of Frauds (contracts for real estate services are required to be in writing to be enforceable); and (2) allow the broker to claim a commission from the buyer. Oral agreements are generally not enforceable for commission claims.

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.
