Colorado Informed Consent and Conflicts Disclosure Forms (Effective 2026)
Informed Consent & Conflict Disclosure Forms
Colorado Real Estate Compliance Package – Effective January 1, 2026
Beginning January 1, 2026, Colorado real estate brokers must obtain a client’s written informed consent before sharing confidential information with an employing or supervising broker.
At the same time, the Colorado Division of Real Estate has emphasized the need for clear written disclosure of conflicts of interest—especially in designated brokerage settings where different brokers within the same firm represent opposing parties.
These are not separate issues.
Confidentiality and conflicts of interest are deeply intertwined. How information flows within a brokerage directly impacts both.
And the CO Division of Real Estate is paying attention to both.
A Practical, Two-Form Solution
This package is built around a two-form system that reflects both the legal requirements and the practical realities brokers face.
Rather than forcing everything into a single, overbroad disclosure, this approach separates:
Advanced Informed Consent for Routine Confidential Information + Disclosure of Conflicts
Contemporaneous Informed Consent for Sensitive Confidential Information
This structure allows you to properly manage day-to-day supervision and conflict disclosures, while reserving specific, informed consent for situations where it actually matters most.
What’s Included
1. Informed Consent for Routine Confidential Information + Conflict of Interest Disclosure
A streamlined, transaction-ready form designed for everyday brokerage use.
This form:
Obtains advance consent for routine information sharing required for supervision and compliance.
Provides a clear, written conflict of interest disclosure for designated brokerage scenarios.
Explains how confidential information may circulate within the brokerage.
Because conflicts and confidentiality are interconnected, this form addresses them together—where they naturally overlap in practice.
This is the form you’ll use in most transactions.
2. Informed Consent for Disclosure of Sensitive Confidential Information
A separate, targeted form for situations involving heightened confidentiality concerns.
Use this form when:
The information goes beyond routine supervision needs.
Disclosure could materially impact the client’s negotiating position or legal rights.
Regulators would expect specific, situation-based consent.
This form is designed to avoid the key compliance risk:
relying on advance or blanket consent for sensitive information.
Why This Approach Works
✔ Recognizes That Conflicts and Confidentiality Are Linked
Information sharing within a brokerage is often what creates—or complicates—conflicts. This system addresses both issues in a coordinated way.
✔ Aligned with Colorado Regulatory Expectations
Reflects the Division’s position on informed consent and heightened protection for sensitive information.
✔ Avoids Overbroad, One-Size-Fits-All Disclosures
Separates routine and sensitive information to reduce risk and improve clarity.
✔ Built for the Designated Brokerage Model
Directly addresses intra-firm dynamics where multiple brokers represent different parties.
✔ Clear for Clients, Defensible for Brokers
Clients understand what they’re agreeing to—and you have documentation that holds up.
Key Features
Clearly identifies brokerage firm, individual broker, and supervising broker.
Defines confidential vs. sensitive information categories.
Integrates conflict of interest disclosure into the routine-use form.
Limits disclosure to appropriate purposes (supervision, compliance, transaction management).
Incorporates structured, written informed consent language.
Includes tailored safeguards and client acknowledgments.
Designed for Real-World Use
These forms are built to:
Fit seamlessly into your transaction workflow.
Reflect how brokerages actually operate.
Provide a defensible framework if your practices are ever questioned.
All while preserving the client’s reasonable expectations of privacy.
Important
This package is designed to address the majority of transactions and brokerage structures. However, more complex or atypical situations may require additional customization or legal review.
Get Ahead of the 2026 Requirements
Colorado has made it clear:
You can’t treat all confidential information the same—and you can’t ignore how conflicts arise from information sharing.
This two-form system gives you a practical, compliant, and scalable way to handle both.
