A real estate licensee who is a resident of Florida holds an active Florida salesperson license obtained by passing the Florida licensing examination. She wants to obtain a Georgia real estate license. How does Georgia law treat her application compared to applicants who are residents of other states?

Correct Answer

D) She must take and pass the Georgia Law and Practice supplement exam administered through PSI, rather than using the standard process available to qualifying applicants from most other states.

Under GREC's current licensing rules, Florida residents are specifically carved out from the standard out-of-state applicant process. Rather than following the path available to qualifying licensees from most other jurisdictions, Florida residents must take and pass the Georgia Law and Practice supplement exam through PSI before they can obtain a Georgia license. This requirement reflects the unique regulatory relationship between the two states. See GREC nonresident application procedures and O.C.G.A. § 43-40-9.

Answer Options
A
She follows the same streamlined application process available to residents of all other states, with no additional requirements.
B
She is automatically granted a Georgia license upon submitting proof of her active Florida license because Georgia and Florida have a bilateral reciprocity agreement.
C
She must complete Georgia's full 75-hour pre-license course and pass the complete Georgia licensing examination, with no credit for her Florida license.
D
She must take and pass the Georgia Law and Practice supplement exam administered through PSI, rather than using the standard process available to qualifying applicants from most other states.
