GLOSSARY TERM GUIDEBuild the complete exam definition
Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Ministerial act mean?
A ministerial act is an administrative or clerical service that does not require the licensee to exercise professional judgment or discretion on behalf of a person, so it can be performed without creating a client relationship.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
Explaining where information belongs on a form can be ministerial. Recommending the price, terms, or negotiation strategy requires judgment and is not merely ministerial.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
BRRETA lists examples and allows ministerial assistance to customers while preserving the boundary between facilitation and representation.
A licensee provides a preprinted form, identifies the section for a closing date, and transmits the completed offer without advising which date to choose.
Calling advice clerical does not make it ministerial. Look for discretion, advocacy, or strategy.

GLOSSARY TERM GUIDERetrieve the rule under exam conditions
Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
A listing agent is assisting an unrepresented buyer. Which action is a ministerial act?
- A
Showing the buyer where the closing date goes on the form
- B
Suggesting an offer $10,000 below the current list price
- C
Advising the buyer to shorten the due-diligence period
- D
Recommending which financing contingency the buyer uses
A ministerial act is clerical help that needs no judgment on the buyer's behalf, such as pointing out where information goes on a form. Suggesting a price, shortening a deadline, or choosing a contingency all require advice and strategy. Those would move the agent from facilitation toward representation.
