    Real Estate Brokers and Salespeople Consumer Fact Sheet By the Division of Professional Licensure Agency Disclosure Types of Agent Relationships Licensed Brokers and Salespersons Things Buyers Should Know when Dealing with a Real Estate Agent Things Sellers Should Know when Dealing with a Real Estate Agent Things Renters Should Know when Dealing with a Real Estate Agent Your Responsibility as a Consumer Filing a Complaint Agency Disclosure A real estate broker or salesperson must tell you who he or she represents in a prospective transaction. This disclosure of the relationship the agent has with you or another party must be made in writing at the time of your first personal meeting to discuss a specific property or properties.

That broker represents you, the seller, and owes you undivided loyalty, confidentiality and accountability. In negotiating for the best price and terms, he must put your interests first. Buyer's Agent You may engage the services of a broker to represent you exclusively as a buyer of real property. In this case, the broker represents you and is accountable to you. She must obey your instructions and keep confidential anything you tell her that may affect your purchase of real property. In negotiating for the best prices and terms, she must put your interests first.

  • Fixed Commissions and Social Waste in the Real Estate Industry
    Can Free Entry Be Inefficient? Fixed Commissions and Social Waste in the Real Estate Industry Chang-Tai Hsieh Princeton University and National Bureau of Economic Research Enrico Moretti University of California, Los Angeles and National Bureau of Economic Research Real estate agents typically charge a 6 percent commission, regardless of the price of the house sold. As a consequence, the commission fee from selling a house will differ dramatically across cities depending on the average price of housing, although the effort necessary to match buyers and sellers may not be that different. We use a simple economic model to show that if barriers to entry are low, the entry of real estate agents in cities with high housing prices is socially in- efficient. Consistent with our model, we find that when the average price of land in a city increases, (1) the fraction of real estate brokers in a city increases, (2) the productivity of an average real estate agent (houses sold per hour worked) falls, and (3) the real wage of a typical real estate agent remains unchanged. We cannot completely rule out the alternative explanation that these results reflect unmeasured dif- ferences in the quality of broker services. However, we present evi- dence that as the average price of housing in a city increases, there is only a small increase in the amount of time a buyer spends searching We thank Ben Bernanke, David Card, Angus Deaton, Harold Demsetz, William Easterly, Ray Fisman, Gene Grossman, Karla Hoff, Peter Klenow, Phillip Leslie, Steve Levitt, Darren Lubotsky, Chris Redfearn, Scott Susin, John Wallis, and a referee for useful comments.

WOODY CREEK VENTURES, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, Defendant Counterclaimant-Appellant, and PITKIN COUNTY TITLE, INC., a Colorado corporation, Defendant. No. 14-1274. United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit. July 26, 2016. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Colorado; (D.C. No. 1:13-CV-01289-RBJ). Eric E. Torgersen (Dennis B. Polk, and Melissa R. Liff, with him on the briefs), Holley, Albertson & Polk, P.C., Lakewood, Colorado, for Defendant Counterclaimant-Appellant. Adam P. O'Brien (Marilyn S. Chappell, with him on the brief), Wells, Anderson & Race, LLC, Denver, Colorado, for Plaintiff Counter Defendant-Appellee. Before HARTZ, PHILLIPS, and MORITZ, Circuit Judges. MORITZ, Circuit Judge. This suit requires us to interpret two provisions of a title insurance policy underwritten by Fidelity National Title Insurance Company—one provision insures against unmarketability of title and the other insures against a lack of access to property. The owner of the policy, Woody Creek Ventures, LLC, contends that both provisions covered losses it sustained when it learned, after purchasing two parcels of land, that one parcel lacked permanent access. And although Fidelity obtained a 30-year right-of-way grant to that parcel, Woody Creek maintains Fidelity failed to cure the lack of access and the title remained unmarketable. Because we agree with the district court's conclusions that (1) the policy doesn't insure a permanent right of access, (2) the right-of-way cured the lack of access to the parcel, and (3) the lack of permanent access doesn't render Woody Creek's title unmarketable, we affirm.

  • Violations of Zoning Ordinances, the Covenant Against Encumbrances, and Marketability of Title: How Purchasers Can Be Better Protected
    VIOLATIONS OF ZONING ORDINANCES, THE COVENANT AGAINST ENCUMBRANCES, AND MARKETABILITY OF TITLE: HOW PURCHASERS CAN BE BETTER PROTECTED Jessica P. Wilde∗ I. INTRODUCTION Zoning ordinances function as an exercise of the government’s general police power, sustaining the enjoyment, health, and safety of the public. They are important in order to maintain property values and protect a neighborhood’s quality and environment.1 Zoning ordinances prevent people from using their property in a way that would make a neighborhood less enjoyable.2 State statutes often provide civil and criminal penalties for failing to comply with zoning ordinances.3 Noncompliance with existing ordinances may be of concern to a buyer who buys a parcel of land ∗ J.D. candidate, Touro Law Center, May 2007; B.S., Brigham Young University, May 2004. 1 See ROBERT H. NELSON, ZONING AND PROPERTY RIGHTS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF LAND USE REGULATION 11-12 (1977). 2 Id. They are often enacted for safety purposes; for example, a zoning ordinance prevents commercial use in a residential neighborhood or may require a permit or certificate of occupancy before a building is occupied. In addition, a zoning ordinance may be in the form of a building code, requiring that the building maintain certain requirements for fire code purposes. Ordinances serve an array of important functions in order to maintain the value and enjoyment of a neighborhood, as well as facilitate the safety and health of the public. 3 Adam Forman, Comment, What You Can’t See Can Hurt You: Do Latent Violations of a Restrictive Land Use Ordinance, Existing Upon Conveyance, Constitute a Breach of the Covenant Against Encumbrances? 64 ALB.
