A real estate licensee from a reciprocal state applies for a Georgia license through reciprocity. The applicant's home state license is currently active, but the applicant has an unresolved continuing education deficiency from the most recent renewal period that the home state has flagged as a compliance issue. What is the applicant's status for Georgia reciprocity?

Correct Answer

A) The applicant must resolve the home state CE deficiency to ensure the license is in full good standing before Georgia will grant reciprocity

Under Georgia reciprocity provisions, applicants must hold a license in good standing from the reciprocal state. The Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) requires that the home state license be free of unresolved compliance issues, including outstanding CE deficiencies that the home state has identified. A license with a flagged CE deficiency does not meet the 'good standing' requirement until the deficiency is resolved with the home state licensing authority.
