What does “Georgia salesperson” mean in real estate?

A Georgia salesperson is an individual licensed to perform real estate brokerage activity on behalf of a broker. The salesperson works under broker supervision and may receive real estate compensation only through the appropriate broker.

How is “Georgia salesperson” different from the closest wrong answer?

A salesperson cannot operate an independent brokerage. A broker holds the higher license class and may perform the broader functions authorized by law.

What is the Georgia-specific rule?

The salesperson path includes qualifying education, the PSI examination, license application requirements, broker affiliation for active practice, and first-year post-license education.
