IN COLORADO THE BROKER WRITES THE CONTRACT ON A STATE FORM, AND YOU SET THE ROLE FIRST.

The broker's role is the second difference. A Colorado broker works either as a transaction broker, who is not an agent for either party and does not advocate for either side, though they may not disclose without consent that a buyer would pay more than the offered price or a party's motivating factors (C.R.S. 12-10-407, VERIFIED). A single agent for a buyer must promote the buyer's interests with utmost good faith, loyalty and fidelity, keep certain information confidential and disclose adverse material facts actually known (C.R.S. 12-10-405, VERIFIED). A written disclosure of the relationship is required before brokerage activity begins (C.R.S. 12-10-408, VERIFIED), and since August 12, 2026 a signed agreement stating the role and the compensation must exist before any licensed activity (HB26-1426, VERIFIED).

Property tax in Colorado is the actual value times an assessment rate set by the state times a mill levy set by each local taxing authority; the rates themselves were not read from a primary source here and are not quoted (PROBABLE, county assessor page). The senior exemption requires ten years of prior ownership and occupancy, so it never applies at purchase (C.R.S. 39-3-203, VERIFIED).

Robert can walk a buyer through the form's disclosure and fee mechanics and, since August 12, 2026, works under a written agreement that states his compensation before any licensed activity (HB26-1426, VERIFIED). The exact tax bill for an address is a county assessor and CPA question, and any change beyond what the rule lets a broker add is an attorney's.
