Under O.C.G.A. § 43-40-2, the Georgia Real Estate Commission is composed of specific categories of members. If a vacancy arises in one of the broker seats on the Commission, what must the Governor do to fill that position?

Correct Answer

A) Appoint a licensed real estate broker to fill the vacancy.

Under O.C.G.A. § 43-40-2, the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) is composed of six members appointed by the Governor: four licensed real estate brokers, one licensed real estate salesperson, and one public member who has no connection to the real estate industry. All six members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. This composition ensures that the Commission has strong industry expertise from the broker and salesperson members while also including public representation to protect consumer interests.

Answer Options
A
Appoint a licensed real estate broker to fill the vacancy.
B
Appoint a licensed real estate salesperson, since brokers and salespersons are interchangeable on the Commission.
C
Appoint an additional public member to increase consumer representation.
D
Allow the remaining Commission members to select a replacement from among current licensees.
