Proctored Final Course Exam: The Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) requires a proctored final exam for your licensing course. A proctor is an unrelated third-party who monitors you taking the course final exam.  Atlantic Real Estate Institute, LLC (AREI) has partnered with a national online proctoring company, Monitor EDU.  The company has different ways to virtually proctor the exam. The most common method uses the webcam on the device on which you take the exam in addition to using the camera on your cell phone. After your class attendance/required homework has been certified, a link to the online proctor will be provided to you within 24 hours of course completion. The fee is $25 per session and is paid directly the the proctoring company.  

STATE EXAM:  Successful completion of this course also satisfies Georgia's state education requirement for a real estate salesperson to qualify to take the state licensing exam.

Any advertising that is misleading or inaccurate in any material fact or in any way misrepresents any property, terms, values, services, or policies is prohibited. Whenever a licensee becomes aware that a principal with whom the licensee’s firm has a brokerage engagement is advertising to sell, buy, rent, lease, or exchange a property in such a manner that is inconsistent with this rule, the licensee must immediately take steps to stop the advertising until it complies with this rule. (2.1) Advertising by Affiliated Licensees. All advertising by associate brokers, salespersons, and community association managers must be under the direct supervision and in the name of the broker who holds their licenses. (3) Written Permission to Advertise. A licensee shall not advertise any property for sale, rent, lease, or exchange unless the licensee has first secured the written permission of the owner or the owner’s authorized agent. Where such permission is granted, a licensee advertising property that is listed with another licensee shall clearly and conspicuously disclose that fact and the name of the listing licensee unless the listing licensee has expressly agreed to waive those clear and conspicuous disclosures. (4) Discriminatory Advertising Prohibited. A licensee shall not advertise to sell, buy, exchange, rent, or lease property when such advertisement is directed at or referred to persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. The contents of any advertisement must be confined to information relative to the property itself, and any advertisement that is directed at or referred to persons of any particular race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin is prohibited. (5) Internet Advertising. Any licensee who advertises any property for sale, rent, lease, or exchange on the Internet must remove such advertisement within ten days after the expiration of the listing. Note: See 520-1-.11(3) for requirements for licensees advertising as principals. (6) Trade Names and Franchise Names. For purposes of this rule the term trade name shall include trade mark and service mark; and the term advertising shall include, but is not limited to, advertising done by others in behalf of the licensee. (a) (a) Any firm using a trade name or any franchisee in advertising specific properties for sale in any media clearly and unmistakably include said firm’s name as registered with the Commission in a manner reasonably calculated to attract the attention of the public. The firm’s name shall appear adjacent to any specific properties said firm advertises for sale so that the public may unmistakably identify the firm responsible for the handling of the listing of the specific property. In advertising a specific property or properties for sale, for rent, or for exchange, the name of the licensed firm offering the property for sale, for rent, or for exchange shall appear in equal or greater size, prominence, and frequency than the name or names of any affiliated licensees or groups of licensees.

In advertising a specific property or properties for sale, for rent, or for exchange, the name of the licensed firm offering the property for sale, for rent, or for exchange shall appear in equal or greater size, prominence, and frequency than the name or names of any affiliated licensees or groups of licensees. (8) Licensees Advertising as Principals. A licensee shall not advertise to sell, buy, exchange, rent, or lease property in a manner indicating that the offer to sell, buy, exchange, rent, or lease such property is being made by a private party not licensed by the Real Estate Commission. (a) Every associate broker, salesperson, and community association manager is prohibited from advertising under the licensee’s own name to buy any property or offering for sale, rent, or lease any property. All advertising by associate brokers, salespersons, and community association managers must be under the direct supervision and in the name of the broker who holds their licenses. However, when a licensee wishes to advertise property owned by the licensee and which is not under a brokerage engagement with a broker, the licensee may do so provided: 1. if the licensee’s license is affiliated with a broker, the broker holding the licensee’s license has been notified in writing of the specific property to be advertised; 2. regardless of whether the licensee’s license is affiliated with a broker or on inactive status, any advertisement must include either (a) the legend “seller, buyer, landlord, tenant (select the appropriate name) holds a real estate license” or (b) the legend “Georgia Real Estate License # (insert licensee’s six digit number; for example, 000001).” “Georgia Real Estate License” may be abbreviated to “GA R. E. Lic.;” and 3. if the licensee’s license is affiliated with a broker, the broker gives written consent to advertising the specific property and the advertisement itself. (9) Licensees Advertising Approved Schools.
