When is a real estate license required in Colorado?

Holding a Colorado real estate broker license enables you to sell or lease all types of real estate in the State of Colorado and earn a commission in the process. You can represent buyers looking to purchase any type of real property in Colorado and earn a commission from an employing broker.

A real estate license is required if you represent a seller or buyer of real property as an agent and earn a commission in the process. Note that you do not need a real estate license to buy or sell your own home.

Colorado requires you to notify them of the transfer. Go to the CDRE online portal and select the link titled “Transfer / Activate / Inactivate License.” You’ll need to include current E&O insurance information if it is not already recorded.
