Lisa has been a Georgia resident for 15 years but obtained her real estate license in Florida 3 years ago when she briefly lived there for work. She now wants to practice real estate in Georgia where she currently resides. Which statement best describes her situation under Georgia license law?

Correct Answer

A) Because she is a Georgia resident, she cannot obtain a Georgia license by reciprocity from her Florida license; she must qualify as a Georgia applicant, which generally includes the Georgia portion of the licensing exam

Under O.C.G.A. 43-40-9 and GREC rules, license-by-reciprocity is available only to licensees who reside in (or are licensed in) another state. A Georgia resident must qualify as a Georgia applicant and pass the Georgia-specific portion of the licensing exam.

Answer Options
A
Because she is a Georgia resident, she cannot obtain a Georgia license by reciprocity from her Florida license; she must qualify as a Georgia applicant, which generally includes the Georgia portion of the licensing exam
B
She must take the complete Georgia real estate exam (both national and state portions) because her Florida license is too old to count
C
She must surrender her Florida license before GREC will issue her any Georgia credential
D
She qualifies for full reciprocity based on her active Florida license regardless of her Georgia residency
