PER THE STATE OF GEORGIA:

(b) It shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, to engage in or conduct the business of, or advertise or hold himself or herself out as engaging in or conducting the business of, or act in the capacity of, a licensee within this state without first obtaining a license as provided in this chapter unless such person is exempted from obtaining a license under Code Section 43-40-29.

We HATE that inactive agents, with the ability to have their license Active are even at risk for this fine!  In an effort to prevent this from happening to you, we created a brokerage that can keep your license ACTIVE , for a one-time setup fee of $50 and a monthly fee as low as $25/month, so you can continue to engaged in Real Estate!   When you re-activate your Georgia Real Estate License from inactive  to active status with us, you can continue your Real Estate career and regain your ability to work deals and collect a FULL commission or referral fees in the process!

Simply fill out the online enrollment form, pay the $50 fee + $25 for the first month and we will receive your request.  Once we receive your request and receipt of the paid fee, we will activate your license within 24 -48 hours unless the board requires more information from you.  At that point will email you additional forms to sign.

Yes, you may begin marketing yourself for success.  You will also be signed up for the FMLS at no cost to you and have access to the state forms as well.

The $50 registration fee is required when you initially register with us and all you will need to keep your license in active status with our brokerage is to continue to pay the $25 a month. The fee is non-refundable even if you should decide to leave to another brokerage.  We reserve the right to add different plans at a later date.  Georgia State licensing renewal fees including continuing education requirements are not included with this fee.  No other hidden fees are REQUIRED except FMLS fees when you close a deal listed on the FMLS.  

The industry's standard referral fee is usually 25% of the gross commission earned by the brokerage you referred the customer to when the transaction closes.  You are able to work any deal and have full access to the FMLS so you should probably work your own deals and get paid handsomely for it!
