Which statement correctly describes the organizational structure of Georgia's real estate regulatory system?

Correct Answer

A) The Georgia Real Estate Commission sets regulatory policy, while agency staff handle day-to-day administration such as investigations, licensing processing, and education oversight

Under O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 40, GREC is the regulatory body that exercises decision-making authority including rulemaking, disciplinary actions, and policy direction. Agency staff—including investigators, licensing personnel, and education coordinators—carry out the Commission's directives and manage daily administrative operations. This separation ensures that policy decisions are made by appointed Commission members while implementation is handled by professional staff.
