The Rule
PSI publishes 16, 21, and 15 items for the three Georgia groups. It does not publish a guaranteed subtopic count. The statute, current GREC rule, contract, or other cited primary authority controls each lesson.
Complete lesson
Read these concepts as one Georgia decision system. A plausible national rule can still be the wrong answer when the stem supplies a Georgia statute, instrument, role, or procedure.
Media-neutral rule
The rule applies to websites, social posts, signs, cards, flyers, broadcasts, and advertising performed by others for a licensee.
Permission and listing source
A licensee needs written permission to advertise property. Advertising another licensee's listing requires the stated disclosures unless properly waived.
Firm prominence
For specific-property advertising, the firm's full registered name must appear with the firm phone and with at least equal size, prominence, and frequency.
Internet cleanup
A licensee advertising property online must cease and remove the advertisement within ten days after the listing expires.
Decision rule
Georgia rule and national contrast
Worked Georgia example
Scenario. A team posts a listed home on social media. The team name is large, the firm's registered name is tiny, and no firm phone number appears.
Reason it through. The post is advertising media. The licensed firm's full name must be at least as prominent as the team name, and the firm phone number is required for the specific-property ad.
Answer. The post is noncompliant even if the firm's account is tagged.
Common exam traps
- Treating social media as exempt
- Using a team name instead of the firm name
- Assuming a tag supplies the firm phone
- Forgetting the ten-day removal deadline
Original practice questions with detailed explanations
These are original instructional questions mapped to the July 1, 2026 PSI outline. They are not copied from PSI or a live examination. Choose an answer before opening the explanation.
Question 1Which statement best states the Georgia rule for Georgia Real Estate Advertising Rules?
- A. Social media posts are not advertising under the GREC rule.
- B. Check truthfulness, written permission, listing status, firm identity and phone, comparative prominence, team or trade name, and timely internet removal.
- C. A team name may be more prominent than the licensed firm name.
- D. Online listings may remain indefinitely after the listing expires.

Answer: B. Check truthfulness, written permission, listing status, firm identity and phone, comparative prominence, team or trade name, and timely internet removal.
The correct choice states the controlling rule. The other choices either remove a required element, replace Georgia authority with a generic assumption, or expand an exception beyond the cited source.
Question 2A team posts a listed home on social media. The team name is large, the firm's registered name is tiny, and no firm phone number appears.
- A. Ignore the Georgia-specific fact because good intentions control.
- B. Apply the nearest national rule without checking Georgia authority.
- C. The post is noncompliant even if the firm's account is tagged.
- D. Let the participant with the strongest preference decide without following the required process.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: C. The post is noncompliant even if the firm's account is tagged.
The post is advertising media. The licensed firm's full name must be at least as prominent as the team name, and the firm phone number is required for the specific-property ad. The correct option follows that reasoning. The distractors ignore the controlling Georgia source, substitute intent for procedure, or give decision-making authority to the wrong person.
Question 3When solving Georgia Real Estate Advertising Rules, what should a candidate identify first?
- A. The answer choice that sounds most ethical, without classifying the actor or document.
- B. One familiar deadline, applied to every Georgia transaction regardless of the source.
- C. A national default, even when the stem identifies a Georgia statute or GREC rule.
- D. Review the advertisement as the public sees it and verify each required element instead of relying on a logo, profile link, or broker approval outside the ad.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: D. Review the advertisement as the public sees it and verify each required element instead of relying on a logo, profile link, or broker approval outside the ad.
The decision rule identifies the facts that control this topic. The other choices reward tone, a memorized number, or a national default while skipping the Georgia actor, document, authority, or procedure.
