When advertising their own property for sale, what must a licensee include?

Including the legend "seller holds a real estate license" in advertisements made by a licensee who is selling their own property is critical for transparency and compliance with Georgia real estate laws. This requirement serves to inform potential buyers that the seller is a licensed real estate professional, which can impact the buyer's perception of the transaction and ensure that all parties are fully aware of the seller's qualifications. It helps maintain ethical standards within the industry by ensuring that the licensee does not leverage their position to gain an unfair advantage over buyers who may not be aware of their professional status.

This stipulation is part of the broader regulatory framework established by the Georgia Real Estate Commission to promote honesty and integrity within real estate transactions. It safeguards against any misrepresentation or implied advantages due to the seller's license status.
