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. In addition, the CO Division of Real Estate has made it clear that advanced written consent is not appropriate for sharing sensitive confidential information, meaning that additional steps are required before disclosure of such information is made.
At the same time, the Colorado Division of Real Estate has emphasized the need for clear written disclosure of conflicts of interest where different brokers within the same firm may 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 streamlined 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 scenarios where the brokerage represents both sides.
Explains how confidential information may circulate within the brokerage.
Because conflicts and confidentiality are interconnected, this form addresses them together—where they overlap in practice.
This is the form is appropriate for most transactions.
A separate, targeted form for situations involving heightened confidentiality concerns where contemporaneous consent is required.
Use this form when:
The information goes beyond routine supervision needs.
Disclosure could materially impact the client’s negotiating position or legal rights.
The CO Division of Real Estate 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.
Adapted to how brokerages actually operate.
Resolves the conflict between supervision requirements and confidentiality rights.
Provides a defensible framework if your practices are ever questioned.
Separates and defines and addresses routine 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.
All while preserving the client’s privacy rights.
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.
