The Colorado Real Estate Commission provides:

The Colorado Real Estate Commission does in fact provide standard forms, and claiming it provides 'no standard forms' is factually false; the Commission's forms program is one of the most robust and well-known in the country and is a defining feature of Colorado real estate practice.

The Commission's forms are not merely optional — Colorado law requires licensees to use the Commission-approved forms for most residential transactions, and using non-approved forms without proper justification can constitute a violation of the Colorado Real Estate License Law.

The Commission's forms are not limited to brokers only; they are designed to be used in transactions involving all parties, including buyers and sellers, and their use is required of licensees regardless of whether they represent buyers, sellers, or act as transaction brokers.
