Broker Janet's license expired 18 months ago, and she has not practiced real estate since then. She now wants to return to the real estate business and has completed 36 hours of continuing education from GREC-approved providers. What must Janet do to legally practice real estate in Georgia again?

Correct Answer

B) Retake both the state and national portions of the broker examination

Correct: Under O.C.G.A. § 43-40-12, if a license has been expired for more than 12 months, the licensee must retake the examination to be relicensed. The 18-month expiration period exceeds the reactivation timeframe. Why not A: Reactivation is only available within 12 months of expiration. Why not C: Additional CE cannot substitute for reexamination after 12 months. Why not D: Pre-licensing education is not required again, only reexamination.

Answer Options
A
Apply for license reactivation and pay the required fees
B
Retake both the state and national portions of the broker examination
C
Complete an additional 25 hours of CE before applying for reactivation
D
Start over with pre-licensing education and examination requirements
