Why Colorado needs its own answer
Colorado is a contract state. There is no attorney sitting in the middle of a residential resale, which means the broker is the one operating the contract — and the contract is a specific document: the Commission-approved Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate (Residential), with a Dates and Deadlines table that sets out the obligations of the deal in a single grid.
That table is the reason generic, national transaction software always feels like it is one layer away from the work. It does not have a concept of a Record Title Objection Deadline, or of the fact that an inspection has three separate deadlines that interact. It has tasks, and you translate.
The Colorado forms Nexus produces
These are rendered by Nexus as exact replicas of the Commission-approved forms, filled from what the transaction already knows, and routed for signature in the order the document actually requires.
| Form | What it does | Where it comes up |
|---|---|---|
CBS1 Contract to Buy and Sell (Residential) | The purchase contract, including the Dates and Deadlines table | Offer |
CP40 Counterproposal | Changes terms on a contract that has not been accepted yet | Negotiation |
SPD Seller’s Property Disclosure | The seller’s disclosure of the property’s condition | Disclosures |
SF94 Square Footage Disclosure | How square footage was measured and from what source | Listing |
SWA35 Source of Water Addendum | Where the property’s water comes from | Listing |
NTC43 Inspection Objection Notice | The buyer’s objection to what the inspection found | Inspection |
NTC43R Inspection Resolution | What the parties agreed to do about it | Inspection |
TON45 Title-Related Objection Notice | The buyer’s objection to something in title | Title |
AVN44 Appraised Value Objection Notice | The buyer’s objection on appraised value | Appraisal |
AE41 Agreement to Amend/Extend Contract | Moves a deadline or changes a term after acceptance | Any stage |
CL8 Closing Instructions | Instructs the closing company, signed by all sides | Closing |
LC50 Exclusive Right-To-Sell Listing Contract | The listing agreement | Listing |
BC60 Exclusive Right-To-Buy Listing Contract | The buyer representation agreement | Buyer intake |
The Dates and Deadlines table, as data
The contract’s table has more than forty rows. Typing them into a calendar by hand is where transactions quietly go wrong, and it is also the single most mechanical thing an agent does all month.
Nexus reads the executed contract, extracts the dates it finds, and shows them to you as a timeline you confirm. It will also propose a full schedule from the contract date using the intervals most commonly used on Colorado residential resales — with every interval visible and editable, because these are legally operative dates and a suggestion is not an assertion. Nothing is written to a deal until an agent says so.
- Dates extracted from the contract, the counterproposal and the accepted round
- Every deadline on one timeline, shared by the agent and the client portals
- Calendar events created for the deadlines that have one
- Changes after acceptance handled through a real Amend/Extend, not an edit
- A date Orbit finds in an email is proposed, never applied silently
The full row-by-row explanation of that table is in Colorado real estate contract deadlines.
The Colorado workflows, end to end
Title
Commitment and documents in one place, the objection deadline tracked, TON45 generated when there is something to object to, resolution recorded, and the escrow officer held as a real party on the deal.
Inspection
Report filed to the deal, objection built as NTC43, resolution signed as NTC43R in seller-then-buyer order, repairs tracked to completion — and the three inspection deadlines kept distinct.
Financing and appraisal
Pre-approval through loan commitment, the appraisal deadline and its objection route, and the lender as a party who owes you specific things on specific dates.
Closing
Closing instructions, settlement figures, the seller’s net, the final walkthrough, possession — and the closing company working from the same file as you.
Built in Denver, for Colorado agents
Nexus is a Colorado company and the product reflects where it was built: Front Range practice is the default, the forms are Colorado’s, and the support you get comes from people who have operated these transactions. The roadmap adds states after Colorado is genuinely finished, not before.
Questions Colorado agents ask
Yes — Nexus renders exact replicas of the Commission-approved forms, and the printed output is checked against the published PDF page by page. You are not signing a paraphrase.
Yes, and that is a deliberate design point. Inspection, title, appraisal and survey each have their own objection and resolution route in the Colorado contract, with their own deadlines, and each is a distinct workflow in Nexus rather than a generic task.
Yes. Buyers and sellers get a portal on the deal with their documents, their next step and the deadlines that affect them. It is the same transaction you are looking at, not a summary.
Colorado is the only state whose forms are implemented today. If you are licensed elsewhere, the transaction workspace still works, but you would be bringing your own documents.
