Study Tips for the Georgia Real Estate Exam

Georgia's binding agreement date concept is crucial — it is the date from which many contract timelines run, including the 3-banking-day earnest money deposit requirement. Know how to identify the binding agreement date in a GAR contract scenario.

Focus on GREC disciplinary procedures — grounds for license revocation, suspension, and censure are common exam topics. Know the difference between a salesperson's and broker's duties, supervision requirements, and trust account rules.
