A Georgia broker is hiring staff to manage a homeowners' association for a monthly fee. The broker plans to assign an unlicensed office assistant to handle all management duties, reasoning that association management is simply clerical work. Which statement correctly describes how Georgia law treats this situation?

Correct Answer

A) Community association management for compensation is a separately regulated licensed activity under Georgia law and cannot be treated as ordinary clerical support.

Under O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 40, Georgia separately regulates community association management as a licensed activity. Performing CAM services for compensation requires proper licensure; it cannot be delegated to unlicensed personnel under the theory that it is merely clerical work. The Georgia Real Estate Commission oversees CAM licensing requirements distinctly from general real estate brokerage.

Answer Options
A
Community association management for compensation is a separately regulated licensed activity under Georgia law and cannot be treated as ordinary clerical support.
B
Community association management requires a real estate salesperson license but does not require any separate certification or license beyond that.
C
An unlicensed assistant may perform all community association management duties as long as a licensed broker supervises the work and signs all correspondence.
D
Georgia law exempts community association management from all licensing requirements when the association has fewer than fifty units.
