What does “BRRETA” mean in real estate?

BRRETA is Georgia's Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act. It defines brokerage engagements, clients, customers, agency duties, transaction brokerage, designated agency, dual agency, and required disclosures.

How is “BRRETA” different from the closest wrong answer?

BRRETA is the statute governing brokerage relationships. A brokerage engagement is the written agreement that creates a client relationship under that statute.

Georgia questions often begin with whether a written brokerage engagement exists. That fact determines whether the person is a client or a customer and which duties follow.
