Service Description

This 3-hour continuing education course provides Georgia real estate brokers with a comprehensive examination of Rule 520-1-.14, which governs the citation process administered by the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC). Designed to strengthen regulatory awareness and reduce risk, this course equips brokers with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize, respond to, and avoid citation-triggering violations. Participants will explore the structure and enforcement authority of GREC, gain clarity on the types of violations most commonly cited, and understand the penalties that may apply—including fines, mandated education, or other disciplinary actions. Through analysis of real-world examples and case studies, brokers will identify key operational and compliance challenges that could lead to citations and develop best practices to mitigate these risks. The course also outlines the formal process of receiving and responding to a citation, including timelines, contesting procedures, and resolution options. Attendees will be guided in how to implement internal systems and oversight strategies to reduce the likelihood of noncompliance within their firms. By course completion, brokers will be better prepared to manage their business in alignment with GREC expectations, minimize exposure to regulatory penalties, and lead their teams with greater legal and ethical confidence.
