Do you want to start your own business or manage an existing brokerage office? If you've been licensed as a salesperson for at least 2 of the last 5 years, you are eligible to take the Broker course to upgrade your license. To receive the Broker license, you must have been actively licensed for three of the last five years.

The Georgia Institute of Real Estate offers you several course formats to accommodate your busy lifestyle. Computer-based courses can be completed at your own pace or you can attend one of our daytime or evening/Saturday programs at our convenient Atlanta location. The Georgia Institute's experienced cadre of Broker Instructors will prepare you to move up to the next level.

Our classroom-based Broker Pre-license course not just a review of what you learned in your Sales Prelicense class; Broker Xpress is almost entirely hands-on and interactive education. Attendees share knowledge and experience, and develop problem-solving strategies through case studies, small-group exercises and simulations. The course focuses on the issues that real estate brokers face in today's real world.

Broker Xpress will also better prepare you for the state's simulation-based exam.  This course was designed to help the student have a better understanding of simulations and how to answer them correctly!

This is a fun course, packed with practical information that even experienced brokers will find useful and inspirational. Don't get stuck in a broker class taken elsewhere where you simply review the material... Enjoy a true learning experience at the Georgia Institute of Real Estate!

The Broker Pre-license course carries a $465 tuition. Members of the Atlanta Board of REALTORS® and the Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS® will pay only $399. All Courses reflect the full tuition for non-members until you log into the system and your current membership status is recognized.

*Commercially-oriented Broker Prelicense
The broker prelicense course is designed to prepare students for the state test which has both residential and commercial simulations. Whether a student has been in commercial or residential, the purpose of the course is it to prepare an agent to become a broker. This entails learning to apply general business practices, state and federal laws, license law, agency and ethics to make good decisions. The main difference is that the commercial course is focused on commercial transactions versus residential.
