## At a Glance

A membership list with a licensing rule behind it, which is more than most directories can say.

- Kind: Not a brokerage at all: a membership body with a directory you search yourself.
- Footprint: Names Georgia. It presents that list as its whole territory.
- Seller Fee: Charges no seller fee. It represents no seller, so there is no sell-side fee to publish.
- Buyer Fee: Says nothing about a buyer fee. Its buyer-facing pages say nothing either way about what a buyer pays.
- Works For: Not a brokerage. A trade body rather than a firm that lists businesses, so there is nobody here to hire on either side.
- Before It Shows You Anything: Nothing to gate: it lists members, not businesses. A membership body rather than a brokerage. It has no listings to withhold, and its directory is open.

## What It Costs

Free to buyers: the directory and the member listings are public. The price below is what a MEMBER pays: $440 a year for all members, prorated daily to the first of January.

## Best For

Georgia buyers who want a membership list with a real licensing requirement behind it

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: The only association here that requires a state license of its broker members, which is a checkable bar rather than a code of ethics
- Pro: Public directory, sortable and paginated, with member listings beside it
- Pro: Publishes its own scale on the homepage: founded 1986, with member and listing counts stated openly
- Pro: Publishes dues to the dollar, including the [proration](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/prorations) rule
- Con: One state, and the license rule means it will stay that way
- Con: The directory sorts but does not filter by geography inside Georgia, so a reader outside Atlanta pages through Atlanta brokers
- Con: A small inventory: the association is a routing layer rather than a market

## What Searchers Say

License requirement, dues, directory behavior and homepage figures read from its own pages.
