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.
Perform and promote
The broker follows the engagement and seeks a sale on the stated or acceptable terms, subject to the contract-status limits in Section 10-6A-5.
Offers and accounting
All offers to and from the seller are timely presented even when the property is under contract, and money or property in which the seller has an interest is accounted for.
Confidentiality
Information is protected when made confidential by express request or instruction, unless later permitted or disclosure is required by law.
Adverse facts
The broker timely discloses the specified actually known adverse physical facts and certain immediate-neighborhood conditions that a diligent buyer could not discover through listed sources.
Decision rule
Georgia rule and national contrast
Worked Georgia example
Scenario. A listed home is under contract when a second written offer arrives. The listing engagement does not require seeking backup offers.
Reason it through. The broker may not have to seek additional offers, but Section 10-6A-5 still requires timely presentation of offers to and from the seller.
Answer. Present the second offer timely and let the seller decide within existing contractual obligations.
Common exam traps
- Confusing seeking with presenting offers
- Disclosing confidential motivation
- Diagnosing beyond expertise
- Inventing a duty to discover unknown defects
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 Duties of a Georgia Broker Engaged by a Seller?
- A. Separate duties owed to the seller client from disclosure and honesty duties owed to buyers and customers.
- B. A broker may withhold all later offers once a property is under contract.
- C. Every fact learned from a seller is automatically public.
- D. A seller's broker must personally diagnose every suspected defect.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: A. Separate duties owed to the seller client from disclosure and honesty duties owed to buyers and customers.
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 listed home is under contract when a second written offer arrives. The listing engagement does not require seeking backup offers.
- A. Ignore the Georgia-specific fact because good intentions control.
- B. Present the second offer timely and let the seller decide within existing contractual obligations.
- C. Apply the nearest national rule without checking Georgia authority.
- D. Let the participant with the strongest preference decide without following the required process.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: B. Present the second offer timely and let the seller decide within existing contractual obligations.
The broker may not have to seek additional offers, but Section 10-6A-5 still requires timely presentation of offers to and from the seller. 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 Duties of a Georgia Broker Engaged by a Seller, 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. Identify whether the fact concerns promotion of the seller, confidential information, an offer, money, an adverse fact, or a matter requiring expert advice.
- D. A national default, even when the stem identifies a Georgia statute or GREC rule.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: C. Identify whether the fact concerns promotion of the seller, confidential information, an offer, money, an adverse fact, or a matter requiring expert advice.
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.
