Can the commission intervene in disputes over commission sharing between licensees?

The correct answer indicates that the commission cannot resolve disputes over commission sharing between licensees. Under Georgia real estate laws, disputes regarding commission splits are generally considered contractual issues between the parties involved. The Georgia Real Estate Commission does not intervene in these types of disputes because they are not part of the regulatory framework that governs the operations of the commission.

Instead, resolution of such matters is typically left to the licensees involved, either through negotiation or through legal avenues if necessary. This framework encourages licensees to maintain professional relationships and uphold their agreements while ensuring that the Commission's focus remains on regulatory oversight and protecting the public interest.

Other answers imply that the commission has a role in these disputes, which is not the case. Some suggest intervention only under certain conditions, like arbitration, or that only the courts have the authority to resolve such issues; however, the key understanding remains that the commission stands apart from these private contractual disputes.
