A Colorado broker is found by the Colorado Civil Rights Division to have engaged in blockbusting by making representations about the entry of persons of a particular creed into a neighborhood in order to induce property sales. Under CADA, which of the following BEST describes the enforcement consequences the broker may face?

Correct Answer

D) Both CCRD administrative remedies and CREC license discipline, because the conduct violates both CADA and the Colorado Real Estate License Act.

Blockbusting — inducing property sales by making representations about the entry of persons of a protected class into a neighborhood — violates both CADA (C.R.S. § 24-34-502) and the Colorado Real Estate License Act (C.R.S. § 12-10-217). The CCRD can impose administrative remedies under CADA, while CREC can independently discipline the broker's license for the same conduct. Both enforcement tracks can proceed simultaneously.

Answer Options
A
Federal HUD enforcement only, because blockbusting is exclusively a federal Fair Housing Act violation.
B
Civil court action only, because CADA does not cover blockbusting as a specific prohibited practice.
C
CCRD administrative remedies only, because CREC cannot discipline for conduct that occurred during a transaction.
D
Both CCRD administrative remedies and CREC license discipline, because the conduct violates both CADA and the Colorado Real Estate License Act.
