A salesperson originally licensed in another state obtains a Georgia real estate license through the reciprocal application process. Which statement correctly describes this licensee's ongoing obligations?

Correct Answer

D) The licensee must comply with Georgia's postlicense education and renewal requirements, regardless of what was required by the former licensing state.

Under GREC rules, once a reciprocal applicant becomes a Georgia licensee, all Georgia postlicense education and renewal requirements apply. Georgia licensure carries its own independent obligations, including the 25-hour postlicense course for salespersons within the first renewal period and ongoing continuing education for renewal. The original state's education framework does not substitute for Georgia's requirements. (Source: GREC Reciprocal Application guidelines; O.C.G.A. § 43-40-8; GREC licensure and renewal rules.)
