To whom must the brokerage relationship disclosure be provided or communicated in typical Colorado practice?

• A. Clients and customers.
• B. Only the broker.
• C. Only the listing agent.
• D. Only the buyer's agent.

Answer: (B)

In Colorado practice, the brokerage relationship disclosure is the licensee’s duty to communicate the type of agency relationship and the duties the broker owes. The key point is that the disclosure is provided by the broker to the party with whom the broker is engaging in a brokerage relationship (the client and any customer involved in the transaction). The broker bears the responsibility for delivering this information so all parties understand who represents whom and what duties apply.

So the reason this choice fits is that the act of providing the disclosure sits with the broker—the one who is establishing or communicating the agency relationship. The listing agent or the buyer’s agent aren’t independently required to issue the disclosure to the other party; it is the broker’s obligation to convey it. In practice, you’ll typically see the disclosure given at the first substantive contact or when an agency agreement is formed, detailing whether the broker is acting as a single agent, designated agent, or transactional broker, along with the duties owed.
