The following forms are promulgated by the Real Estate Commission and are within the purview of Rule F.

Pursuant to Commission Rule F-7, real estate brokers are required to use Commission-approved forms as appropriate to a transaction or circumstance to which a relevant form is applicable. In instances when the Commission has not developed an approved form within the purview of this rule, and other forms are used, they are not governed by Rule F. If a real estate broker is a party to a transaction (e.g., listing contract, or a purchase and sale contract and broker is acting as a principal), such broker may engage counsel to prepare a form for the transaction so long as the form conspicuously states the form is not a Commission-approved form. If a real estate broker uses an attorney-prepared form as provided in Rule F-7, such broker shall continue to be responsible to make all required disclosures to all parties under applicable laws, rules and regulations governing real estate brokers. Other forms used by a broker shall not be prepared by a broker, unless otherwise permitted by law.

Forms marked with an asterisk indicate a form that has been changed in 2011.

Comments and suggestions for all Commission-approved contracts and forms should be emailed to crec.contracts@dora.state.co.us
