ATLANTA, Ga., April 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Buying or selling most businesses requires a license, and Robert Love, chair of the Georgia Real Estate Commission, will speak to the Georgia Association of Business Brokers about state licensing requirements at the group’s monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 27, at 10:30 a.m.
The Georgia Real Estate Commission issues citations to 20 to 25 businesses or individuals each month for selling real estate without a license, according to Love, president and founder of Love Properties, Inc. The six-member Georgia Real Estate Commission, appointed by the governor, administers the license law that regulates brokers, salespersons, and community association managers.
“Whenever you are dealing with selling a business, whenever any real estate is involved in the sale, which is almost always the case, you must have a license,” says Love, who has 40 years of experience in real estate. “Some people try to sell businesses without being licensed, without taking the required courses and passing the licensing exam.”
Almost 75,000 real estate licensees are currently active in Georgia, says Love. That’s down about 8,000 since the beginning of 2008, due to the real estate downturn, says Love. Georgia Real Estate Commissioner Jeffrey Ledford, a full-time employee of the commission, will accompany Love and both will answer questions about new changes in licensing requirements.
Mr. Love will speak at the GABB’s meeting Tuesday, April 27, 2010, at the South Terraces Conference Center, 115 Perimeter Center Place, Atlanta, GA, 30346. The meeting is free and open to the public. Networking begins at 9:45 a.m. with a light breakfast before the 10:30 a.m. meeting
