Frequently asked questions

Who regulates real estate brokers in Georgia?+

The Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) licenses brokers, associate brokers, salespersons, and community association managers under O.C.G.A. Title 43-40. GREC contracts with PSI to deliver the licensing exams statewide.

What experience do I need before the Georgia broker exam?+

Under O.C.G.A. § 43-40-8(c) and GREC Rule 520-1-.04(5)(b), a broker applicant must be at least 21, be a high school graduate or equivalent, and have held a license in active status for at least three of the five years immediately preceding the application. The education requirement can be met by the 60-hour Brokers Prelicense Course, by qualifying college or law-school coursework, or by 60 hours of approved prelicense coursework from another state or Canadian province.

How is the Georgia broker exam structured?+

PSI bulletin 4672 gives the broker examination a 75-item national portion plus a 48-item Georgia Broker Supplement: State Laws and Rules (31 items), Management (12 items), and Closing and Calculations (5 items). The national broker portion is scenario-based — items carry more than four options and each option is weighted zero, one, or two points, so you pick the BEST answer rather than the only right one. The bulletin publishes no time limit and no numeric passing score for the broker exam; GREC Rule 520-1-.04(3)(a) says the passing score is set psychometrically and published before the exam is given.
