What official Georgia requirement must the school satisfy?
The Rule
This is a researched sample, not a complete directory and not a paid ranking. Check the live GREC approved-schools list before purchase because approvals and offerings can change.
Which online Georgia real estate schools were price-checked?
| Provider | Public price seen | Format | Facts verified on provider page |
|---|---|---|---|
| RealEstateU | $125 course-only | Self-paced online | 75-hour course, six-month access, and a $15 charge for each proctored-final attempt on its public Georgia pages |
| University of Georgia Continuing Education | $209 course or $299 standard package | Self-paced online | 75-hour course; the provider FAQ describes a $25 remote-proctor charge for each final sitting and lists package inclusions |
| Colibri Real Estate | $249 individual course | Self-paced online | Public course page displayed the 75-hour Georgia salesperson course and its mandated-subject coverage |
These public prices were checked on August 22, 2026. They are snapshots, not promises. Promotions, taxes, packages, proctoring, extensions, textbooks, and refund conditions can change the amount charged. Save the checkout page and terms you rely on.
Which schools offer local or Georgia-based delivery?
| Provider | Georgia base or locations | Delivery evidence | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Georgia MLS Real Estate School | Tucker; provider material also lists Morrow and Duluth final-exam locations | Self-paced online and scheduled virtual study. Its public page says live classes are virtual until further notice and final exams are in person by appointment. | $195 for the computer-based option shown on the page; the scheduled two-part program is described as two $225 payments |
| 400 North School of Real Estate | Alpharetta | Self-paced online 75-hour course. The page directs students to contact the school about proctor arrangements and extensions. | The same page showed both $275 and $249, so obtain the final checkout total in writing before relying on either figure |
| HRP Real Estate Academy | Warner Robins | GREC's directory lists Salesperson Pre License approval, but a current public delivery schedule was not found during this review. | Not verified on a public provider page; contact the school and compare written terms |
| Albany Board of Realtors R.E. School and Albany Technical College | Albany | GREC's directory lists Salesperson Pre License approval for both. Current course dates, format, seats, and final-exam arrangements must be confirmed directly. | Not verified on current public enrollment pages during this review |
A directory location shows where a school is based, not where your class or final will happen. For example, when checked in August 2026, Georgia MLS described live instruction as virtual and the final as in person by appointment. A student outside metro Atlanta should price the final trip before calling an online option fully remote.
How should you compare support, refunds, access, and prep?
| Factor | Question to ask before checkout | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Is this exact Georgia salesperson prelicense course currently approved? | A school can hold other approvals without holding the one you need. |
| Delivery | Is instruction self-paced, live virtual, classroom, or blended, and where is the final? | A local address can still lead to an online class or a separate exam trip. |
| Access | When does access expire, what does an extension cost, and is progress retained? | A low price can become expensive if access ends before completion. |
| Instructor support | Can I ask a qualified instructor content questions, by which channel, and on what schedule? | Technical support cannot resolve agency, contract, or math confusion. |
| School final | How is the proctored final booked, where is it held, what does each attempt cost, and what is the retake rule? | The course is not complete until its requirements are satisfied. |
| Refund | How many days, how much progress, and which fees or digital items are excluded? | A headline guarantee may narrow after access or progress begins. |
| Exam prep | How many original national and Georgia questions, explanations, simulations, math lessons, and readiness reports are included? | Eligibility education and PSI readiness solve different problems. |
Worked example: online price versus usable cost
Maya lives in Albany. Course A costs $125 and adds a proctored-final charge. Course B costs more but gives her scheduled live instruction. Course C is Georgia-based, but its final is offered only at a metro-area appointment that requires travel and time away from work.
What are the common school-selection traps?
- Choosing a familiar brand before checking current Salesperson Pre License approval.
- Confusing a school's business address with a classroom or final-exam location.
- Using the first price on a page when another section or checkout shows a different total.
- Assuming self-paced access is unlimited or that completed progress survives an extension.
- Treating a school's course completion as proof of readiness for the PSI exam.
- Trusting a pass-rate claim as official when GREC does not publish a Georgia exam pass rate.
Can you answer these two buyer questions?
- A provider's directory entry says Alpharetta, but its course page says online. Is it a classroom course?
No. The address identifies the provider. The current course page and enrollment terms determine delivery. Ask separately where and how the final is taken.
- A school appears in GREC's directory with Real Estate CE but not Salesperson Pre License. Can its course satisfy the standard 75-hour route?
Not on that evidence. The candidate needs the exact salesperson-prelicense approval or must qualify through an official alternate education route.
Mastery checklist before buying

- □ I recorded access, extension, refund, attendance, and retake rules.
- □ I chose a format based on my completion history, not a discount timer.
- □ I have a separate plan for national and Georgia PSI readiness.
