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.
Timely presentation
The 2024 BRRETA amendment makes presentation duties explicit even when the client is already under a sales contract.
Seeking offers
A broker is not necessarily required to seek new offers while property or buyer is under contract unless the engagement requires it.
Counteroffer
A counter changes terms and ordinarily ends the offeree's power to accept the original offer. The new offer must be accepted and communicated as required.
Multiple offers
The client chooses the lawful response. The broker presents accurately, protects confidential information, follows instructions, and avoids promising a ranking or outcome.
Decision rule
Georgia rule and national contrast
Worked Georgia example
Scenario. A listing broker receives a higher offer after the seller signed a contract and withholds it because the property is pending.
Reason it through. The broker may not be required to seek the offer, but an offer actually received must be timely presented to the seller under current Section 10-6A-5.
Answer. Present the offer and let the seller obtain advice about existing contractual obligations.
Common exam traps
- Equating presentation with acceptance
- Withholding later offers
- Confusing seeking with presenting
- Revealing another offer's confidential terms without authority
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 Offers, Counteroffers, Multiple Offers, and Presentation?
- A. A broker must discard every offer received after contract formation.
- B. Presenting an offer means the broker accepts it for the client.
- C. Separate receiving, presenting, seeking, accepting, rejecting, countering, and disclosing an offer. Each is a different act.
- D. All competing-offer terms may be disclosed automatically.

Answer: C. Separate receiving, presenting, seeking, accepting, rejecting, countering, and disclosing an offer. Each is a different act.
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 listing broker receives a higher offer after the seller signed a contract and withholds it because the property is pending.
- A. Ignore the Georgia-specific fact because good intentions control.
- B. Apply the nearest national rule without checking Georgia authority.
- C. Let the participant with the strongest preference decide without following the required process.
- D. Present the offer and let the seller obtain advice about existing contractual obligations.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: D. Present the offer and let the seller obtain advice about existing contractual obligations.
The broker may not be required to seek the offer, but an offer actually received must be timely presented to the seller under current Section 10-6A-5. 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 Offers, Counteroffers, Multiple Offers, and Presentation, what should a candidate identify first?
- A. Create an offer timeline showing sender, recipient, exact terms, deadline, response, communication, and any existing contract.
- B. The answer choice that sounds most ethical, without classifying the actor or document.
- C. One familiar deadline, applied to every Georgia transaction regardless of the source.
- D. A national default, even when the stem identifies a Georgia statute or GREC rule.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: A. Create an offer timeline showing sender, recipient, exact terms, deadline, response, communication, and any existing contract.
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.
