Georgia.
QUESTION 1
Is failure to put a street address in a legal description a violation of the Georgia license
law?
Answer: No.
Rationale: A street address is not a legally sufficient description for real property; therefore, its omission from a legal
description does not violate Georgia license law, which mandates accurate legal descriptions to identify property
boundaries. The key concept tested is the distinction between a street address and a legally valid property description.
QUESTION 2
A licensee has been given verbal permission to place a for sale dign on the property by
the seller. could the licensee legally place the sign on the property?
Answer: No, permission must be in writing.
Rationale: Real estate brokerage agreements and listing authorizations require written consent for actions like placing a "for
sale" sign, as verbal agreements are generally not legally binding for such significant transactions. This emphasizes the
principle of requiring documented proof for contractual authority and agent responsibilities in real estate.
QUESTION 3
Before an applicant can take the brokers real estate exam them must provide evidence
of completion of an approved brokers course and have been licensed how long?
Answer: At least 2 years.
Rationale: To be eligible for the real estate broker's examination, applicants must demonstrate completion of an approved
broker's course and possess at least two years of active experience as a licensed real estate salesperson. This requirement
ensures candidates have a foundational understanding and practical exposure to the profession.
