Description

State Requirements

Whether you're representing a seller who's listing a high-efficiency home or working with a buyer to find one, it's important to be able to recognize a home's green features and the value they bring to the property. This means understanding the benefit of big-ticket green items such as solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal heating and cooling systems, solar water heaters, or even energy-efficient windows, as well as knowing the value in quick-and-easy updates like low-flow faucets, LED lighting, and smart thermostats. It also means knowing the difference between HERS and HES and SEER and LEED. Of course, greening up a home isn't cheap. Letting your clients know about available federal and state programs and incentives is another way you can ensure your clients are getting the best service around.

Course highlights include:

An overview of the green home movement
Green terminology, certifications, and ratings
A review of energy-efficient upgrades, including solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal heating and cooling systems, solar water heaters, and more
Tips for assisting green homebuyers and sellers
A review of the FHA's Energy Efficient Mortgage and the 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage programs
Qualifications for the DOE's Weatherization Assistance Program
Interactive activities and scenarios to seal in the new information and frame it in everyday context

Georgia State Requirement Details for Real Estate Salesperson Continuing Education - Subsequent Renewal

Renewal Date: Every 4 years, on the last day of the licensee's birth month

Hours Required: 36 hours

3 hours – Mandatory license law hours
33 hours – Elective hours

The CE Shop’s Offering: 36 hours

3 hours – Mandatory license law hours
33 hours – Elective hours

Post-Licensing and First-Time Renewal: Newly licensed salespersons must complete the 25-hour Salesperson Post-License course in their first year of licensure. The 25-hour post-licensing course also counts as 9 hours towards fulfilling the continuing education requirement. Note: You will not receive the 9 hours of CE credit if your license has lapsed. To complete the CE renewal requirement, 27 additional continuing education hours must be taken to fulfill the 36-hour requirement; 3 mandatory hours on the topic of license law and 24 hours of elective credits.

Course Duplication: A student may repeat a course and receive credit as long it has been over 12 months since the course was last taken. A licensee’s renewal does not change the 12-month limitation on repeating a course.

Reporting: The state requires course completions to be reported to the state. We will report your course to the state upon completion.

Expiration Date of Course: Course expiration dates vary by course. Each individual course will have an expiration date listed in your account. See Terms & Conditions for more details.

Certificates: Immediately upon course completions, The CE Shop will provide students with an electronic copy of the course certificate of completion. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five years, should you need additional copies at a later time. Please refer to your application to determine if you need to submit your certificate(s) of completion. Course completion dates are recorded using Central Standard Time. Please note that the date on your certificate of completion will reflect this.

Final Exams: Passing a final exam is not required to receive continuing education credit in Georgia, therefore our system is set up so that final exams can be passed with a 0% passing score.

License Renewal Process: The process to renew in this state is to log in to the licensing system online and follow the prompts to renew.
