For each exam section below, here is what is actually tested, the most common candidate pitfalls, a worked example, and how Click2CE prepares you. Reading every section here is roughly the equivalent of a free 30-minute orientation lesson with one of our instructors.
Real Property
~15 questionsAbout 15 questions on real property concepts, legal descriptions (Georgia uses lot-and-block in plats and metes-and-bounds in rural areas), ownership types, and conveyance. Pitfall: candidates miss the difference between a general warranty deed (full warranties), special warranty deed (warranties only during grantor's ownership), and quitclaim (no warranties). Example: a tax-sale purchaser typically receives a quitclaim. Click2CE drills every deed type the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) tests.
Agency Relationships
~18 questionsAbout 18 questions on GREC agency rules under the Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act (BRRETA). Georgia recognizes client (full agency with fiduciary duties) and customer (no agency, limited duties). Dual agency is allowed with written informed consent. Pitfall: candidates confuse "designated agency" — Georgia allows it inside a brokerage where two associated licensees represent opposite sides. Example: BRRETA disclosure must be provided before substantive contact. Click2CE walks through every BRRETA timing requirement GREC tests.
Contracts
~20 questionsAbout 20 questions on contract elements, the Georgia Association of REALTORS (GAR) forms, contingencies, performance, and breach. Pitfall: Georgia uses a "due diligence" period rather than separate inspection/financing/appraisal contingencies — the buyer can terminate for any reason during the due-diligence period and recover earnest money. Example: a 10-day due-diligence period typically begins on the binding agreement date. Click2CE walks through the GAR forms candidates actually see in practice.
Financing
~15 questionsAbout 15 questions on loan types, qualification, Georgia lending practices, and closing costs. Georgia is an attorney-state — a Georgia-licensed attorney must conduct the closing. Pitfall: candidates miss that Georgia uses a security deed (technically a deed conveying title to the lender) rather than a mortgage; foreclosure is non-judicial under power-of-sale, typically 32-37 days after the first publication. Click2CE drills the specific timeline GREC tests.
Georgia State Law
~30 questionsThe largest section — about 30 questions on GREC rules, license requirements, trust accounts (escrow accounts), advertising rules, the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, and community-association rules. Pitfall: trust-account questions on commingling and the requirement to deposit earnest money "without delay" (interpreted as the same banking day or next banking day). Example: failure to deposit earnest money timely is a sanctionable violation. Click2CE drills GREC rule citations and recent disciplinary trends.
Fair Housing
~12 questionsAbout 12 questions on the federal Fair Housing Act and the Georgia Fair Housing Act, which mirrors federal protected classes. Pitfall: candidates assume Georgia adds source-of-income or sexual-orientation protections — it does not at the state level (some Atlanta-area municipalities do). Example: a Fulton County local ordinance may add sexual-orientation protection. Click2CE notes every place local law extends beyond state law.
Property Management
~12 questionsAbout 12 questions on Georgia's Landlord-Tenant Act, security deposits, eviction, and lease management. Pitfall: candidates miss that Georgia caps the security deposit at one month's rent ONLY when the landlord owns more than 10 rental units (or uses a management company). Example: a small landlord with 4 units has no statutory cap. Click2CE drills these unit-count thresholds GREC tests.
Valuation & Math
~15 questionsAbout 15 calculation questions on the three approaches to value, CMA, commission, prorations, and investment math. Georgia uses a 365-day year. Pitfall: candidates forget that Georgia property taxes are paid in arrears, with millage rates varying widely by county. Example: a 30 mill rate on a $200,000 assessed value (40% of $500,000 fair market) yields $6,000 annual tax. Click2CE drills the assessment ratio (40% in Georgia) on every math question.
Settlement
~15 questionsAbout 15 questions on closing procedures, settlement statements, title insurance, and escrow. Georgia closings must be conducted by a Georgia-licensed attorney representing the lender (or buyer if cash). Pitfall: candidates assume the closing attorney represents both parties — typically they represent only the lender. Example: a buyer with concerns may want their own attorney. Click2CE walks through the Georgia attorney-closing model end-to-end.
