1Which state agency oversees the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC)?

A.Georgia Department of Community Affairs

B.Georgia Secretary of State's Office

C.Georgia Department of Revenue

D.Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Protection

Explanation: The Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) operates under the authority of the Georgia Secretary of State's Office. The Secretary of State appoints the members of the commission, which regulates all real estate licensees in the state. The other agencies listed handle different state functions and do not oversee real estate licensing.

2How many hours of pre-license education must a candidate complete before sitting for the Georgia real estate salesperson exam?

A.40 hours

B.60 hours

C.75 hours

D.90 hours

Explanation: Georgia requires 75 hours of pre-license education from a GREC-approved school before a candidate can take the salesperson licensing exam. This coursework covers topics such as license law, real estate principles, and Georgia-specific regulations. The 40-hour and 60-hour options are insufficient, and 90 hours exceeds the requirement.

3Within what timeframe must a newly licensed Georgia salesperson complete the required post-license education?

A.Within 6 months of obtaining the license

B.Within the first year of obtaining the license

C.Within 2 years of obtaining the license

D.Before the first license renewal at 4 years

Explanation: Georgia requires newly licensed salespersons to complete a 25-hour post-license course within their first year of licensure. Failure to complete this requirement by the deadline results in the license being placed on inactive status. The course covers practical topics that supplement the pre-license education.

4The Georgia real estate salesperson exam consists of how many questions, and what is the passing score?

A.120 questions (80 national + 40 state); 70% passing score

B.152 questions (100 national + 52 state); 72% passing score

C.150 questions (100 national + 50 state); 75% passing score

D.140 questions (90 national + 50 state); 70% passing score

Explanation: The Georgia salesperson licensing exam has 152 questions split into two portions: 100 national questions and 52 state-specific questions. A candidate must score at least 72% on each portion to pass. Both portions must be passed; failing one means the entire exam must be retaken.

5What are the experience and education requirements to become a licensed broker in Georgia?

A.2 years experience as a salesperson + 45-hour broker course

B.3 years experience as a salesperson + 60-hour broker course

C.5 years experience as a salesperson + 90-hour broker course

D.1 year experience as a salesperson + 30-hour broker course

Explanation: Georgia requires a minimum of 3 years of active experience as a licensed salesperson and completion of a 60-hour GREC-approved broker pre-license course before a candidate can sit for the broker exam. This ensures brokers have both practical experience and advanced education before managing other agents.

6How often must a Georgia real estate license be renewed, and how many continuing education (CE) hours are required?

A.Every 2 years; 24 hours of CE

B.Every 4 years; 36 hours of CE

C.Every 3 years; 30 hours of CE

D.Every 4 years; 48 hours of CE

Explanation: Georgia real estate licenses must be renewed every 4 years, and licensees must complete 36 hours of approved continuing education during each renewal period. This includes mandatory courses on license law and other GREC-required topics. Failing to complete CE by the renewal deadline will result in the license lapsing.

7Under Georgia law, what must a qualifying broker maintain for holding client funds such as earnest money deposits?

A.A personal savings account at any financial institution

B.A trust or escrow account at a federally insured depository

C.A business checking account in the broker's name only

D.No special account is required; funds can be held in the general operating account

Explanation: Georgia law requires qualifying brokers to maintain a trust or escrow account at a federally insured financial institution for holding client funds such as earnest money deposits. Commingling client funds with the broker's personal or business operating funds is a violation of license law and can result in disciplinary action by GREC.

8Which of the following professionals is also licensed under the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC)?

A.Home inspectors

B.Community association managers

C.Mortgage loan originators

D.Real estate appraisers

Explanation: In Georgia, community association managers (CAMs) are licensed and regulated under the Georgia Real Estate Commission. Home inspectors, mortgage loan originators, and real estate appraisers are regulated by different agencies. The CAM licensing requirement helps ensure competence in managing homeowner and condominium associations.

9What are the three license categories for real estate professionals in Georgia?

A.Salesperson, associate broker, and qualifying broker

B.Salesperson, managing broker, and principal broker

C.Agent, supervising broker, and designated broker

D.Provisional salesperson, salesperson, and broker

Explanation: Georgia recognizes three categories of real estate licenses: salesperson, associate broker, and qualifying broker. The qualifying broker holds the highest level of license and is responsible for supervising all licensees affiliated with their firm. An associate broker has met broker qualifications but works under a qualifying broker rather than operating independently.

10A Georgia licensee is found to have committed fraud in a real estate transaction. What is the process for GREC to take disciplinary action?

A.GREC immediately revokes the license without a hearing

B.GREC files a complaint, conducts an investigation, and holds a formal hearing before the commission

C.The local Board of Realtors handles all disciplinary matters

D.The Georgia Attorney General prosecutes the case in superior court

Explanation: GREC follows a formal disciplinary process: a complaint is filed, an investigation is conducted by the Commission's staff, and if probable cause is found, a formal hearing is held before the commission members. The licensee has the right to present a defense. GREC cannot revoke a license without due process. Local Boards of Realtors handle ethics violations for their members but do not have authority over state licenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is the Georgia real estate exam?

The GA exam has a 55% first-time pass rate with 152 questions (100 national + 52 state) in 3h30m, requiring 72% to pass. Georgia-specific topics like BRRETA, due diligence period, and the GAR purchase agreement are heavily tested.

What is the due diligence period in Georgia?

Georgia's due diligence period gives the buyer an unrestricted right to terminate the contract for any reason during the specified timeframe. The buyer pays a non-refundable due diligence fee directly to the seller (not into escrow) in exchange for this right.

What is BRRETA in Georgia?

BRRETA (Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act) governs agency relationships in Georgia. It distinguishes between clients (agency relationship) and customers (no agency), allows dual agency with informed written consent, and defines ministerial acts that don't create agency.

How is property assessed in Georgia?

Georgia assesses property at 40% of fair market value. This 40% figure is then multiplied by the local millage rate to determine annual property taxes. County and city homestead exemptions vary widely.
