If you hold a Georgia broker license, there's a change you absolutely cannot ignore — and it went live on July 1, 2025. The Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) officially rolled out a new broker-specific continuing education requirement, and it's reshaping how Georgia's 86,000+ licensees think about their renewal cycles.
Here's the short version: if you're an Associate Broker, Broker, or Qualifying Broker in Georgia renewing on or after July 1, 2025, 18 of your 36 required CE hours must now be in broker-specific topics. The good news? The total CE hours didn't go up. The 36-hour requirement over a 4-year cycle is unchanged. But half of those hours now need to directly address what brokers actually *do* every day.
GREC is focused on the core operational work of running a real estate brokerage. To qualify, courses must cover at least one of the following:
Each qualifying course must be at least 3 credit hours. That means you're looking at a minimum of 6 separate broker-designated courses to hit the 18-hour mark.
Salesperson and Community Association Manager (CAM) licensees? This rule doesn't apply to you — your requirements are unchanged. Non-resident brokers who hold active licensure in their home state can still meet Georgia CE requirements by submitting proof of that license. And any Georgia licensee who obtained their license prior to 1980 with a sub-6-digit license number? Still exempt.
The mandatory 3 hours of Georgia License Law CE continues to apply to all licensees and *can* count toward your 18 broker hours if the course is approved in both categories.
The Commission has been clear about the intent: Georgia brokers carry legal responsibility for the actions of every agent under their supervision. That's not a small thing. When a deal goes sideways, a disclosure gets missed, or a complaint is filed — the broker is on the hook. The new curriculum requirement is designed to make sure brokers are actively sharpening the skills that directly protect consumers: knowing how to train agents, how to review contracts for compliance, how to manage a firm that runs clean.
It's less "extra hoops" and more "finally, education that matches the job."
Georgia licenses renew on a 4-year cycle based on birth month. So whether this hits you in 2025, 2026, 2027, or 2028 depends on when you're up for renewal. If your license expires before July 1, 2025, you renew under the old rules. Any renewal on or after July 1, 2025? New rules apply — full stop.
If you have an upcoming renewal date and haven't started your broker CE, now is the time to move. GREC-approved providers are offering 18-hour broker CE packages specifically designed for this requirement, and many online options exist so you can chip away at hours on your own schedule.
This is genuinely good news for Georgia real estate — even if it adds a planning step. Brokers who actively train and supervise their agents run better brokerages and produce fewer complaints. The new requirement puts real teeth behind what great brokers already do. Our GREC-approved Georgia broker CE packages cover all 18 required hours with content that's actually useful in the real world — not just checkbox-completion material. We also offer state-specific real estate exam prep for brokerages onboarding new agents.
Your renewal is coming. Don't let 18 hours catch you by surprise.
