Which statement about advertising compliance is true in Colorado real estate practice?

• A. Advertisements must identify the brokerage and license status.
• B. Advertisements must include the broker's home address.
• C. Advertisements must display the license number in every ad.
• D. Advertisements are exempt from any licensing requirements.

Answer: (A)

In Colorado, advertising must clearly show who is behind the ad and that the person is a licensed professional. This means every ad should include the brokerage’s name and indicate the license status of the broker (for example, that the advertiser is a Colorado-licensed real estate broker). This disclosure protects the public by identifying the responsible brokerage and confirming licensure, reducing the chance of misleading or unverified advertising. Including a home address isn’t required and can raise privacy concerns, and license numbers aren’t mandated in every ad. Ads also aren’t exempt from licensing rules.
