A salesperson from another state obtains a Georgia license through reciprocity. Which statement correctly describes the salesperson's ongoing obligations under Georgia law?

Correct Answer

B) The salesperson must comply with Georgia's postlicense and renewal requirements, regardless of the rules in their former state.

Once a reciprocal licensee obtains a Georgia license, Georgia's own postlicense education and renewal requirements apply. GREC rules make clear that holding a Georgia license—regardless of how it was obtained—triggers Georgia's continuing education and renewal obligations, including the 25-hour postlicense requirement for salespersons within their first renewal period. (Source: GREC Reciprocal Application guidelines; O.C.G.A. § 43-40-8 and GREC Rules 520-1-.05.)

Answer Options
A
The salesperson's former state education and renewal requirements continue to govern their Georgia license indefinitely.
B
The salesperson must comply with Georgia's postlicense and renewal requirements, regardless of the rules in their former state.
C
The salesperson is exempt from Georgia postlicense education if they completed equivalent coursework in their home state.
D
The salesperson may defer Georgia renewal requirements until their home-state license expires.
