In Georgia, the Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act (BRRETA) requires:

Oral disclosure alone does not satisfy BRRETA's requirements; the statute specifically mandates written disclosure precisely because verbal disclosures are difficult to verify, easy to dispute, and provide no lasting record of the consumer's informed consent.

Georgia law under BRRETA imposes affirmative disclosure obligations on all licensees — the absence of disclosure requirements would undermine the entire purpose of the Act, which was enacted specifically to fill the gap left by confusing common law agency rules.

BRRETA requires disclosure to all parties in a transaction — both buyers and sellers (as well as landlords and tenants) — not exclusively to buyers, because sellers also have a right to know the brokerage relationship structure, especially in dual agency or transaction broker situations.
