Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our real estate courses
How many hours of pre-licensing education does Georgia require?
Georgia requires 75 hours of GREC-approved pre-licensing education for real estate salesperson candidates. Fortune Academy offers the full 75-hour course in one enrollment, covering Georgia license law, principles of real estate, contracts, finance, agency, and fair housing.
How long does it take to get a real estate license in Georgia?
Most Fortune Academy students complete the 75-hour GA pre-licensing course in 4–8 weeks part-time, or as fast as 2–3 weeks in self-paced online format. Add 1–2 weeks to schedule and pass the PSI exam, plus 2–4 weeks for GREC to process your application — most students earn their GA license in 2–4 months total.
Who administers the Georgia real estate licensing exam?
The Georgia real estate salesperson exam is administered by PSI Services. It consists of two portions: a 100-question National section and a 52-question Georgia State section, with 4 hours total testing time. Fortune Academy students receive free access to PSI-style practice exams with full answer rationales.
What is the pass rate for the Georgia real estate exam?
Fortune Academy students achieve an 85% first-time pass rate on the Georgia real estate salesperson PSI exam — significantly higher than the state average. Our curriculum is aligned precisely with the PSI exam outline and includes unlimited practice exams with every package.
How much does real estate school cost in Georgia?
Fortune Academy's GA real estate pre-licensing packages range from affordable self-paced online options to premium packages with live instructor access, exam prep, and post-license CE. Pricing is shown on this page — see the package options to the right. We also offer flexible payment plans.
Can I take the Georgia real estate course online?
Yes. Fortune Academy offers the full 75-hour GA salesperson course in three GREC-approved formats: self-paced online, live virtual classroom (scheduled sessions), and in-person classroom. All three satisfy GREC's 75-hour pre-licensing requirement and provide the same certificate of completion.
Do I need post-licensing education in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia requires 25 hours of GREC-approved post-licensing education within the first year after your salesperson license is issued. Fortune Academy offers a dedicated 25-hour GA Post-Licensing course — new agents typically complete it 3–6 months after licensure to stay well ahead of the deadline.
What are the eligibility requirements for a Georgia real estate license?
To qualify for a Georgia real estate salesperson license, you must be at least 18 years old, hold a high school diploma or equivalent, be a U.S. citizen or legally present alien, complete the 75-hour GREC-approved pre-licensing education from Fortune Academy, pass the PSI licensing exam, submit a background check (fingerprints), and apply to GREC with the required fees.
Is a Georgia real estate license reciprocal with other states?
Georgia has limited reciprocity arrangements. Out-of-state licensees who meet certain requirements may be eligible for license recognition, which can waive portions of pre-licensing education. However, you must still pass the Georgia State portion of the PSI exam. Fortune Academy offers a dedicated GA State portion exam prep for out-of-state licensees.
What if I fail the Georgia real estate exam?
If you don't pass the PSI exam on your first attempt, you can retake either portion (State or National) individually without waiting. Each retake requires a new PSI exam fee. Fortune Academy's Money-Back Pass Guarantee refunds your course fee if you do not pass, and our exam prep is designed to target the specific question types PSI uses on the GA exam.
How often do I need to renew my Georgia real estate license?
Georgia real estate licenses must be renewed every 4 years. GREC requires 36 hours of approved Continuing Education per renewal cycle (a 27-hour first-renewal package if you're in your first renewal period after completing post-licensing). Fortune Academy offers GREC-approved CE packages including ethics.
Can I work while I complete my Georgia pre-licensing course?
Yes. Fortune Academy's flexible self-paced online format lets you complete your 75-hour GA pre-licensing education evenings and weekends while working a full-time job. Live virtual options are available in the evenings too. Most students finish the course in 4–8 weeks of part-time study.
