Colorado
The moment a Colorado CBS1 is signed, Ratifyly reads it and pulls the entire Dates and Deadlines table into one live schedule — inspection, loan and appraisal, title, and closing. It confirms the required paperwork is present and signed: the Special Taxing District and Source of Potable Water point disclosures, the brokerage-relationship disclosure, lead-paint on pre-1978 homes, and the Seller's Property Disclosure the parties chose to use. Anything missing or any deadline left blank gets flagged before it becomes a problem, and the brokerage, the agent, and the client all watch the same transaction on one view.
The contracts we read
Colorado runs on Commission-promulgated forms: the residential deal uses the Colorado Real Estate Commission's Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate (Residential), form CBS1, whose current V2 is mandatory for use on or after January 1, 2026. It carries its own Dates and Deadlines table and folds in the point disclosures below. Colorado is not an attorney-close state — title companies handle settlement — and Ratifyly reads whatever document actually governs the deal, whether it's the statewide CBS1, a Commission-approved addendum, or brokerage-drafted paperwork.
But Ratifyly isn't limited to those. Because it reads the document itself— not a fixed template — it handles whatever version an agent actually uses: the statewide association form, a regional or local board form, an attorney-drafted contract, or a brokerage's own paperwork. And it reads the whole packet, not just the contract — disclosures, addenda, the closing disclosure, title commitment, inspection reports, wire instructions, and more — so nothing in the file goes unreviewed.
Required paperwork we check
- Special Taxing District disclosure — buyer's right to know a property may lie within a district that can levy taxes and fees (C.R.S. §38-35.7-101), typically embedded in the CBS1 contract.
- Source of Potable Water disclosure — the water source and any related concerns must be disclosed (C.R.S. §38-35.7-104), also carried within the contract.
- Brokerage relationship / transaction-broker disclosure — the broker must disclose their role and relationship to the parties (C.R.S. §12-10-407).
- No state-mandated standalone seller condition form: Colorado's Seller's Property Disclosure is a Commission-approved, widely used form but is customary rather than statutorily required — so Ratifyly confirms the one that's actually in the file rather than implying a mandate.
- Federal lead-based paint disclosure and EPA pamphlet required on homes built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d).
Deadlines we track
- Inspection deadlines — Inspection Objection and Inspection Resolution (plus Inspection Termination), the buyer's core due-diligence window.
- Loan and appraisal deadlines — New Loan Terms, Loan Availability/Termination, and Appraisal deadline for financed deals.
- Title deadlines — Record Title, Title Resolution, and Off-Record Title review windows.
- Property insurance and survey deadlines, where the contract's Dates and Deadlines table calls for them.
- Closing Date (settlement) — Colorado closings are handled through title companies, not attorneys.
- Every one of these lives in the CBS1 Dates and Deadlines table, so a single blank or mis-entered date can shift the whole transaction.
