License Prep
Everything you need to know to earn your Georgia salesperson license and start your career with eXp Atlanta. Requirements are set by the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC).
Be at least 18 years old, hold a high school diploma or GED equivalent, and be a lawful resident of the United States. Applicants must also have a background that meets the Georgia Real Estate Commission's (GREC) standards for honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity.
Enroll in and finish a 75-hour salesperson pre-license course through a GREC-approved real estate school. Courses are offered in-person, online, and self-paced formats. You must pass the course final exam before sitting for the state exam.
Schedule your exam with PSI, Georgia's licensing exam provider. The test covers a national portion and a Georgia-specific portion. You must pass both sections with a score of 75 or higher.
Obtain a Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC) background report from your local sheriff's office or an authorized location. The report must be dated within 60 days of your license application.
Submit your application, exam results, background check, and license fee directly to the Georgia Real Estate Commission. Most applications are processed within a few business days.
Your license stays inactive until you affiliate with a Georgia-licensed broker. Once you join a brokerage like eXp Atlanta, your broker activates your license through GREC and you can begin practicing immediately.
New Georgia licensees must complete a 25-hour post-license course within the first 12 months of licensure. Failure to complete this requirement results in license lapse.
