A Georgia licensee is asked by a client about potential radon, mold, and asbestos concerns in a property. How should the licensee handle disclosure of these environmental issues?

Correct Answer

C) Disclose known material facts about the property, avoid inventing nonexistent Georgia statutory disclosure forms, and recommend that the buyer obtain appropriate professional inspections.

Georgia does not have a single mandatory statewide disclosure form covering radon, mold, asbestos, wetlands, and contamination for every transaction. Under Georgia license law and GREC guidance, licensees must disclose known material facts, must not make misleading statements, and should not fabricate statutory requirements that do not exist. The appropriate practice is to share what is actually known, avoid speculative diagnoses, and refer buyers to qualified environmental professionals (e.g., certified radon testers, industrial hygienists, asbestos inspectors) for definitive assessments.
