You can even search by School name. Better yet, most browsers allow you to search any word on a page by holding down the CTRL and f key at the same time, and then you can enter your search criteria in the Search box usually popping up at the top of the screen. This allows you to narrow down your search by a phrase or word. These search functions and easily accessible education history allow the licensee to get answers to questions concerning their license without the need to contact the Commission staff.

Real Estate Humor
What room in your house are zombies most afraid of? The living room.
Eh, that real estate agent doesn't look so strong. I bet I can take him in a fight!"
"Are you crazy? That guy says he flips houses in his spare time!" Did you hear the joke about the roof?
I doubt you'd get it, it's over your head. Why did the house go to the doctor?
It had a window pane. After being cold called 5 days in a row, a FSBO finally had enough:
"For the last time - I can't see you this Saturday or any other day!!" Without skipping a beat, the real estate agent replied, "That's okay sir, I sell prescription glasses on the side. Let's schedule you an eye exam."
What does a house wear? Address.
Did you hear about the last remaining unit in the apartment building? It was last but not leased.

New Online Services Login Information
In December 2019, all individual licensee records were migrated into our new database. Licensees will need to register by creating a new User Name and Password. Your old username and password will no longer work in this new system. New accounts will allow for the access of multiple records with a single login. This means, if you hold multiple licenses, all of your records will be accessed from this single login. For this reason, login information should NOT be shared. Instructions for Creating a New Account If you have NOT already established an account in the new Online Services System, you will need to create a new account. To do so, follow the instructions below:
1. Go to the GREC homepage grec.state.ga.us 2. Select the Login to Online Services link on the left-hand side of the homepage. 3. Click on the "Register" link to set up a new account. 4. Enter your information in the fields provided and click on "Register" button.
