Is your Email Address Correct on the GREC Web Site? 
 
Brokers should insist that every affiliated Licensee register an email address with the Georgia Real Estate Commission. Email is the primary method of communication for reminders from GREC that a license is due to be renewed. Newsletters, proposed and adopted Rule changes, and special announcements are also emailed from GREC to Licensees. If a Licensees email is not registered or is incorrect, the Licensee will not receive important information. Licensees should be sure to both check their spam folder and add @grec.state.ga.us to their address contacts to ensure you are receiving emails from GREC. In many instances, because a Licensee did not notify the Commission of a new email address, the Licensee did not receive a renewal notice for a license and the license subsequently lapsed 
Surprisingly, a small percentage of Licensees do not have an email registered with GREC. The Commission no longer sends paper renewal reminders. If a Licensee cannot receive an email, it will be more challenging to remember to renew a license. In addition to the email reminder, GREC will also send an automated voice mail message to the phone number the Licensee has registered with GREC. Lastly, Licensees should not identify GREC emails as spam. ...continued on page 2
