Sample GA RE Broker Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the GA RE Broker exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under Georgia law, how many years of active salesperson experience are required to qualify for a broker license?
A.1 year within the past 3 years
B.2 years within the past 4 years
C.3 years within the past 5 years
D.5 years within the past 7 years
Explanation: Georgia requires 3 years of active real estate salesperson experience within the past 5 years to qualify for a broker license. This ensures that broker candidates have recent, relevant field experience before taking on supervisory responsibilities. The experience must be under a licensed Georgia broker.
2How many hours of pre-license education does Georgia require for broker candidates?
A.40 hours
B.60 hours
C.75 hours
D.120 hours
Explanation: Georgia requires 60 hours of GREC-approved broker pre-license education. This is separate from the 75 hours required for the salesperson license. The broker course covers brokerage management, trust accounts, and advanced topics beyond the salesperson curriculum.
3Within how many banking days must a Georgia broker deposit earnest money into the trust account after a binding agreement is executed?
A.1 banking day
B.3 banking days
C.5 banking days
D.7 banking days
Explanation: Georgia requires brokers to deposit earnest money into the trust account within 5 banking days of a binding agreement. Banking days exclude weekends and federal holidays. Failure to deposit within this timeframe is a violation of GREC rules and can result in disciplinary action against the broker.
4A Georgia broker maintains personal funds in the trust account to cover bank service charges. What is the maximum amount of personal funds allowed?
A.No personal funds are ever permitted
B.A minimal amount to keep the account open, not exceeding $100
C.Up to $500 for administrative purposes
D.Up to $1,000 as a reserve
Explanation: Georgia allows a broker to maintain a minimal amount of personal funds in the trust account solely to keep the account open and cover bank service charges, not to exceed $100. Any amount beyond this constitutes commingling, which is a violation of GREC rules. The broker must be able to account for every dollar in the trust account at all times.
5Under BRRETA, which type of agency relationship allows a broker to assign different licensees within the same firm to represent opposing parties in a transaction?
A.Dual agency
B.Designated agency
C.Transaction brokerage
D.Single agency
Explanation: Designated agency under BRRETA allows a broker to assign different affiliated licensees within the same firm to represent opposing parties in the same transaction. The broker acts as a neutral supervisor, and each designated agent owes full fiduciary duties to their assigned client. This differs from dual agency, where the broker directly represents both parties.
6A Georgia broker is supervising affiliated licensees in a designated agency transaction. What is the broker's primary role?
A.Advocate for the seller's interests
B.Advocate for the buyer's interests
C.Act as a neutral supervisor without advocating for either party
D.Withdraw from the transaction entirely
Explanation: In a designated agency transaction under BRRETA, the broker serves as a neutral supervisor. The broker must not advocate for either party but instead ensures that each designated agent fulfills their fiduciary duties to their respective client. The broker maintains oversight of the transaction without favoring either side.
7What is the passing score required on the state portion of the Georgia broker exam?
A.70%
B.72%
C.75%
D.80%
Explanation: The Georgia broker exam requires a 75% passing score on the state portion. The national portion has a different threshold at 72%. Candidates must pass both portions to receive a broker license. If a candidate fails one portion, they may retake just that portion without repeating the other.
8A Georgia broker receives an earnest money check with a binding agreement on Friday afternoon. When is the latest the check must be deposited into the trust account?
A.The following Monday
B.The following Wednesday
C.The following Friday
D.Within 5 calendar days (Wednesday)
Explanation: The 5 banking day requirement counts only banking days (excluding weekends and federal holidays). If a binding agreement is executed on Friday, the count begins Monday (day 1) and the deposit deadline is the following Friday (day 5). Saturday and Sunday are not counted as banking days.
9Under Georgia law, which entity has the authority to audit a broker's trust account without prior notice?
A.The Georgia Department of Revenue
B.The Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC)
C.The Georgia Secretary of State's Office only
D.Local county tax assessor
Explanation: GREC has the authority to audit any broker's trust account at any time without prior notice. This broad audit power exists to protect consumers and ensure that brokers are properly handling client funds. Brokers must maintain accurate records and be prepared for unannounced audits at all times.
10A Georgia broker opens a branch office. Which of the following is required?
A.A separate broker license for the branch office
B.A branch office license and a designated branch broker
C.Only written notification to GREC within 30 days
D.No additional licensing if within the same county
Explanation: Georgia requires a branch office license and a designated branch broker for each branch office. The branch broker is responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the branch and must hold a valid broker license. Each branch must display its license and operate under the supervision of the main broker or a designated branch broker.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is the Georgia real estate broker exam?

The Georgia broker exam has a national portion and a 48-item Georgia broker supplement. The national broker portion includes scenario-based questions with more than four options, each weighted zero, one, or two points by how complete the answer is. Broker topics such as trust accounts, brokerage management, and supervision of affiliated licensees go deeper than the salesperson exam.

What are the requirements to become a broker in Georgia?

Georgia requires you to be at least 21 with a high school diploma or equivalency, complete the 60-hour GREC-approved Broker's Prelicense Course, hold an active real estate license for at least 3 of the past 5 years (in Georgia or another jurisdiction), pass the broker exam, and clear the background check.

What trust account rules must Georgia brokers follow?

Georgia brokers must keep trust funds in a federally insured account that the bank designates as a trust account and that is registered with the Commission, and must deposit funds promptly unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Brokers may keep their own money in it only for limited purposes, such as a bank's minimum balance or service charges, and the Commission may examine trust account records.

What is the broker's supervisory responsibility under BRRETA?

Under BRRETA, the broker is responsible for supervising all affiliated licensees including designated agents. The broker must ensure compliance with agency disclosure requirements, maintain written policies, review transactions, and can be held vicariously liable for the actions of affiliated licensees.
