A salesperson licensed in another state wants to obtain a Georgia real estate license. Which statement accurately describes Georgia's approach to out-of-state applicants seeking licensure?

Correct Answer

A) Reciprocal applicants and Georgia exam applicants follow different licensing paths, so each applicant must use the route that matches the person's specific status.

Georgia distinguishes among several pathways for out-of-state applicants. Reciprocal applicants from states with reciprocity agreements may follow a streamlined process, while applicants from non-reciprocal states must satisfy standard Georgia exam and education requirements. Florida-resident licensees have a separate supplement-exam pathway. Each applicant must follow the route that matches their specific status. See O.C.G.A. § 43-40-9 and GREC Reciprocity for Real Estate Licensees guidelines.
