Disclosures

The legal detail behind the plain-language explanations on the rest of this site.

Who Operates This Site

Chinook Home is a brand name used in connection with real estate services provided by a real estate brokerage licensed in the State of Colorado.

Managing Broker: Eric Shampine
Colorado Broker License #: ER 100022756

Brokerage: Alliance Real Estate Group, LLC
Colorado Brokerage License #: EC.100048635

Broker Acting as Principal

The Managing Broker of the brokerage behind this site is also affiliated with a real estate investment company. When that investment company makes an offer to purchase a property presented through Chinook Home, the following applies:

The broker is a licensed Colorado real estate broker, and this fact will be disclosed in writing in the applicable purchase contract or in a separate concurrent writing, consistent with Colorado Real Estate Commission Rule 6.17.B.

The broker has an ownership and financial interest in the investment company. This interest, and any other known conflict of interest, will be disclosed in writing consistent with Colorado Real Estate Commission Rule E-25.

This disclosure applies regardless of whether the brokerage is acting as a listing brokerage on the same property, is soliciting other offers on the seller’s behalf, or has no other role in the transaction.

On the market-test / multiple-offer process specifically: When Chinook Home facilitates a comparison of multiple cash-buyer offers on a property, the affiliated investment company may be one of the participating buyers. Its offer, when submitted, is made concurrently with and independently of other offers solicited in the same process — not in response to or with knowledge of competing offer amounts. Sellers should be aware, however, that the investment company — through its affiliation with the listing broker — may have access to context about the seller’s situation gathered during the initial qualifying conversation that unaffiliated buyers do not have. This is disclosed here and will be restated in writing as part of any specific transaction.

Affiliated Business Arrangement

The investment company and the brokerage are affiliated through common ownership and management. Colorado law governing affiliated business arrangement disclosures, including changes under HB26-1287, requires that this relationship be disclosed to consumers. This section will be updated to reflect the applicable disclosure standard in effect at the time of any specific transaction.

Being referred between Chinook Home, the brokerage, and the investment company is never required. Sellers are free to work with any brokerage, investor, or buyer of their choosing at any point in the process.

No Obligation

Nothing on this website, and no conversation with Chinook Home, constitutes an offer, a binding agreement, or an obligation to sell, list, or transact in any way. All offers are subject to a separately executed written agreement.

Questions About This Disclosure

If anything on this page is unclear, ask us directly before moving forward with any transaction — or consult an independent real estate attorney. We’d rather answer a question twice than have you feel uncertain about who you’re working with.
