Georgia Agency Model Quick Reference

📋 The 1-minute cheat sheet

• Agency in Georgia is governed by BRRETA (Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act).
• A broker may represent the seller, the buyer, or both, or act as a transaction (non-agency) broker.
• Designated agency: the broker assigns different affiliated licensees to each client in one transaction.
• Consensual dual agency is permitted when both parties give informed written consent.
• A dual agent must treat both clients honestly and may not disclose confidential information.
• BRRETA defines the broker's duties and the limits on liability for client misstatements.
• Georgia is NOT a community-property state, which affects how marital property is handled in transactions.
