Question:

Real Estate License in Georgia?

I was wondering if my d.u.i. conviction could keep me from getting a real estate license in georgia? I have that dui and a minor in possesion of alcohol charge on my record. no felonies or charges having to deal with money or anything.....Thanks

Answer:

I don't know, but if you are considering going to Real Estate school, before you spend the money, I would make sure I understood how extremely difficult the market is in our state. My home, my folks' home, my best friend's home have all lost HALF their value. My other friend has 3 houses for sale on her street that are selling for less than 1/3 of what they were selling for 3 years ago. I don't mean to rain on your parade to be cruel, I just want you to know that it hasn't been this hard to make a living in real estate since the late 70's. Georgia is leading the nation in foreclosures, or was recently. Any real estate school can tell you if a DUI prevents you from getting your license and if you don't want to ask, call the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs, they can steer you to the correct governing agency.
