Licensing Stats and GREC Activity
At the recent Education Advisory Meeting of the Georgia Real Estate
Commission in October, the Commission provided a report of the trending number of
licensees. The total number of 113,430 real estate Licenses is the largest number for
the state in the Commission's history. (86% active and 14% inactive.) This is a net
increase of 4,763 Licenses in the last year.
The Commission currently issues an average of 800 new licenses per month down
from 1,200 licenses per month a year ago. In addition to processing applications, the
Georgia Real Estate Commission answers approximately 6,000 calls and 1,000 emails
per month. The following is the breakdown of the 97,070 Active Licensees:
Brokers, Salespersons, CAM
88 % (20% are Brokers.)
Real Estate Firms
12%
The number of licensed Appraisers is 4,279 down from 4,236 the year before. The
number of licensed Appraisers has remained steady the past few years after many
years of a slow decline.
The number of investigative cases for both Real Estate and Appraisal is
currently 640. The majority, 90%, of the cases concern real estate Licensees primarily
because there are more real estate licenses. Of the real license investigations, about
half are background application cases from individuals applying for a license.
