A Colorado real estate listing agreement is entered into by a real estate broker and an individual selling real estate to enable the parties to work together to find a buyer for the property being sold. The broker agrees to advertise and market the property to the best of their ability and with the seller’s best interests in mind.

The seller agrees to pay the broker a commission should they succeed in finding a buyer, and to cooperate through the listing term with regard to inspections, open houses, and any requests made by the broker. It is up to the parties whether they wish to execute the contract as an exclusive right to sell, an exclusive agency, or an open listing type agreement.
