1. What do I need to do to get a real estate salesperson license?
The first step is to view the Georgia Real Estate Commission requirements to obtain a Salesperson’s license at http://www.grec.state.ga.us/grec/resalesperson.html
The second step in becoming a real estate agent is to attend a Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) approved 75-hour Pre-license course. The Pre-license course may be taken online or in-class with an instructor. This is a required first step.
The third step after completing the course instruction, is to pass a proctored course final exam with a minimum score of 72%.
The fourth step, after passing the course final exam, is to take the state salesperson exam.
2. What is the difference between an online course and a in classroom/live course?
The online course is independent study at your own pace which means you can go through the course as quickly or as slowly as you prefer. Our online students have access to an online customer service to ask questions if students deem it necessary. Materials and book delivered electronically.

13. What happens if a student misses a day or hours of a pre-license course?
The hours for each course are a strict requirement by the Georgia Real Estate Commission and not RERA. For example, the requirement for the 75HR Sales Pre-license Course is 75 hours and for the 60HR Broker Pre-license course is 60 hours. Per GREC, if any time is missed by a student, the student must make up the time. To be specific, LATE STUDENTS must make up one (1) hour for any minute portion of an hour late. No questions asked. We understand emergencies happen but time is a requirement that must be fulfilled for these courses. Make up time comes with an hourly rate and is scheduled with your instructor.
