After you sign the Independent Contractor Agreement:
Now that you have signed your ICA and paid the join fee, it's time to transfer your license to Real!
Existing Licensees
To transfer your existing license to Real, follow these steps:
- Please request that your current broker release your license with the Georgia Real Estate Commission. We are unable to affiliate your license with Real until this happens.
- Once your license is not currently active with a broker, please contact your Onboarding Coordinator to add your license to our roster with GREC.
- If you are a Broker/Qualifying Broker, you will need to first apply for an associate broker license. Please reach out to gabroker@therealbrokerage.com as the broker has to write a letter to GREC on your behalf. Once your Associate Broker license is issued it can be affiliated with Real.
- If you're looking to move to Real Select our Referral Only program, please contact your Onboarding Coordinator to add your license to our roster with GREC.
New Licensees
To apply for a new real estate license, follow these steps:
- Prior to associating with a brokerage, you MUST pass the licensing examination. Once you have successfully passed the salesperson licensing examination, please request your Onboarding Coordinator send you the GREC Sponsoring Broker form to complete. This will be signed by the Georgia Broker in Charge. You will then submit it to GREC for license issue and affiliation with Real Broker.
After completing the above steps:
Your Designated Broker and Onboarding Coordinator will receive a message from the Georgia Real Estate Commission confirming the transfer. To transfer your FMLS and/or GAMLS and Board/Association membership please reach out to gabroker@therealbrokerage.com and gabic1@therealbrokerage.com, and the GA broker team will assist you, as they must add you to the roster.
New to Real? Look out for your welcome email once your license transfer is complete. This will include your Post-Onboarding Instructions, details on our Onboarding class, link to our Marketing Center and more!
Already a Real agent? Please email support@therealbrokerage.com and our support team will add your license to your existing reZEN account.
Board + MLS:
If you are a member of GAMLS and/or FMLS, Real's Onboarding Team will affiliate you in the system once your license is transferred.
Multi-License / Border States
You are required to join a local Board of Realtors and maintain good standing.
- If you are licensed in more than one State and Georgia is your primary State: you are required to join a Board of Realtors in Georgia.
- If you are licensed in more than one state and Georgia is your secondary State:
- You must carry state-level membership through GA Realtors.
- Dual licensed agents can also obtain a secondary membership through GA Realtors to satisfy the GA board requirement when primarily licensed in TN, more info below!
- In this case, you will not be required to join a local board of Realtors - provided your Primary Board of Realtors (in the other State) provides coverage in both areas (e.g. Tennessee and Georgia).
- Regardless of whether you join a local Georgia Board, you must use GAR Approved Forms for all contracts, as per the GA ICA.
If you have a primary membership in the National Association of REALTORS® through another state, then your membership options with us are as follows.
You may join:
- the Georgia Association of REALTORS® (GAR) only. (Benefits include on-line access to GAR Contract Forms, legislative updates, our Georgia REALTORS® magazine, networking at the state level, discounts from our Affinity Partners, and discounts for GAR classes and conferences.)
- both a Georgia local board/association and GAR.
