ABOUT THIS STUDY GUIDE
The Georgia Real Estate Reciprocity Exam is administered by PSI Services under the
oversight of the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) . Georgia offers full
reciprocity with all 50 states, meaning out-of-state licensees can waive the 75-hour
pre-license education requirement . However, reciprocity applicants must still pass the
Georgia state exam portion, submit an application with GREC, complete a background
check, and be sponsored by a Georgia broker .
Exam Format:
• Total Questions: 120 total questions (80 national + 40 state) for salesperson
exam
• Passing Scores: 70% on national portion (56/80) and 75% on state portion
(30/40)
• Exam Fee: $121
• Testing Vendor: PSI Services
Reciprocity applicants may only need to take the Georgia state portion depending on
their home state's agreement . The state portion covers Georgia Real Estate License Law,
GREC rules, BRRETA agency law, Georgia-specific contract practices, property
disclosures, and brokerage relationships .
SECTION 1: RECIPROCITY & OUT-OF-STATE LICENSING
(Questions 1–25)
Question 1: Real estate reciprocity allows a licensee from another state to:
,A) Practice real estate in Georgia without any additional requirements
B) Obtain a Georgia license under certain conditions
C) Automatically become a broker in Georgia
D) Represent clients only in their home state
Correct Answer: B) Obtain a Georgia license under certain conditions
Rationale: Reciprocity allows out-of-state licensees to obtain a Georgia license if they meet
Georgia's licensing standards, including passing the state exam portion. It does not grant
automatic practice rights (A) or automatic broker status (C).
Question 2: Which of the following is typically required for a reciprocal real estate
license in Georgia?
A) Verification of license in the home state
B) Passing the Georgia state law exam
C) Completing the background check

Correct Answer: D) All of the above
Rationale: Reciprocity applicants must verify their license status in their home state, pass
the Georgia state law exam (or the full exam depending on the agreement), and complete
a background check.
Question 3: Which licensees are eligible for Georgia reciprocity?
A) Only those from states with equivalent licensing requirements
B) Anyone with a license from any state
C) Only brokers, not salespersons
D) Only inactive licensees
Correct Answer: A) Only those from states with equivalent licensing requirements
Rationale: Georgia only recognizes reciprocal licenses from states with similar licensing
standards. Applicants must hold an active license in good standing in their home state.

A) Current licensure status, disciplinary history, and standing
B) Home address only
C) Employment history

good standing in their home state and checks for any disciplinary history.

D) The individual cannot be licensed in Georgia
Correct Answer: B) The individual may qualify for reciprocity and take only the
state portion
Rationale: Georgia maintains reciprocity agreements with other states, including South
Carolina. Licensed individuals from those states can obtain a Georgia license without
taking the full exam, provided they are currently licensed and in good standing.
Question 6: A resident of South Carolina who is NOT currently licensed in South
Carolina wants to become a licensed broker in Georgia. Is the Georgia Broker's License
Exam required?

D) Yes, if the individual is not licensed in South Carolina or another state
Correct Answer: D) Yes, if the individual is not licensed in South Carolina or
another state
Rationale: Reciprocity only applies to those currently holding a license. Without a current
license elsewhere, the applicant would be treated as a new applicant and must pass the
Georgia exam.
Question 7: Which of the following states has full reciprocity with Georgia?
A) Florida only
B) All states
C) No states
D) Only bordering states
Correct Answer: B) All states

licensees?
A) Automatic licensure without any exam
B) Waiver of the 75-hour pre-license education requirement

Correct Answer: B) Waiver of the 75-hour pre-license education requirement

75-hour pre-license education requirement. They still must pass the state exam portion
and complete other requirements.
