Do you want to start your own business or manage an existing brokerage office? If you’ve been actively licensed as a salesperson for 3 out of the last 5 years, you are eligible to take the Broker course to upgrade your license.

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 convenient Atlanta or Duluth locations. The Georgia Institute's experienced cadre of Broker Instructors will prepare you to move up to the next level.

The classroom-based Broker Pre-license course was completely revamped in 2007.  It's no longer primarily a review; 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.

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, which includes:

• Textbooks & Materials - a $75 value
• School Exam

You may pay a $250 deposit to reserve your space now and pay the balance of $215 by the midpoint of the class.  To take advantage of this program, click here to download the enrollment form.

The Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS® will waive the $50 CBR application fee for all Designated REALTORS® who complete the broker pre-license course (in-class at our Atlanta or Duluth locations, online or on CD-ROM) through the Georgia Institute of Real Estate and who were not previous members of the Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS®.

Designed especially for Broker Prelicense students, this one-day prep course is offered nearly every month in from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm on Saturday. We strongly recommend taking this intensive review course prior to taking the state exam.

• $50 to GIRE Broker Prelicense and any online ProStar® students.
• $75 Non-GIRE students, except online ProStar® students.
