Georgia Real Estate Math
Practice Questions & Answers (2026)
Real estate math questions appear on every Georgia real estate exam and test a focused set of calculations: commission splits, prorations (property tax, rent, interest), loan-to-value ratios, appreciation and depreciation, and area calculations. The Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) does not provide a calculator — but the math is designed to be workable without one if you know the right formulas. Georgia candidates consistently lose points on proration questions because they apply the wrong day-count convention (360-day vs. 365-day year) or miscalculate the seller's vs. buyer's share. Work through every problem in this section until you can solve each type without hesitation.

Q1. A Georgia borrower takes out a $320,000 security deed. The intangible recording tax is $1.50 per $500 of the loan amount. What is the total intangible tax?
Explanation
Number of $500 increments = $320,000 ÷ $500 = 640. Intangible tax = 640 × $1.50 = $960. Using the values given ($320,000, $1.50), apply the appropriate formula.. The correct answer is $960.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
Q2. A Georgia property is listed at $389,000. After 60 days with no offers, the seller reduces the price by 4%. What is the new listing price?
Explanation
Price reduction = $389,000 × 4% = $15,560. New price = $389,000 − $15,560 = $373,440. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $389,000 at 4%.. The correct answer is $373,440.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
Q3. A Georgia property sells for $425,000. The total commission is 6%, split equally between the listing and buyer's broker. Within the listing office, the listing agent receives 55% of their office's commission. What does the listing agent earn?
Explanation
Total commission = $425,000 × 6% = $25,500. Listing office share = $25,500 ÷ 2 = $12,750. Listing agent share = $12,750 × 55% = $7,012.50.
Q4. An investor purchases a Georgia rental property for $180,000. The annual net operating income (NOI) is $14,400. What is the capitalization rate?
Explanation
Cap Rate = NOI ÷ Purchase Price = $14,400 ÷ $180,000 = 0.08 = 8%. Using the values given ($180,000, $14,400), apply the appropriate formula.. The correct answer is 8%.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
Q5. A Georgia home sells for $425,000. The listing broker charges 6% commission, split equally with the cooperating broker. How much does each broker receive?
Explanation
Total commission = $425,000 × 6% = $25,500. Split equally: $25,500 ÷ 2 = $12,750 per broker. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $425,000 at 6%.. The correct answer is $12,750.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
Q6. A property's assessed value in Georgia is $120,000 (40% of fair market value). What is the fair market value?
Explanation
If assessed value = 40% of FMV, then FMV = Assessed Value ÷ 0.40 = $120,000 ÷ 0.40 = $300,000. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $120,000 at 40%.. The correct answer is $300,000.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
Q7. A buyer takes a 30-year, $200,000 mortgage at 6% annual interest. What is the first month's interest payment?
Explanation
Monthly interest = $200,000 × (6% ÷ 12) = $200,000 × 0.005 = $1,000. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $200,000 at 6%.. The correct answer is $1,000.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
Q8. A rectangular lot is 150 feet wide and 200 feet deep. How many acres is this lot? (1 acre = 43,560 sq ft)
Explanation
Area = 150 × 200 = 30,000 sq ft. Acres = 30,000 ÷ 43,560 ≈ 0.69 acres. Remember: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet. Multiply or divide as needed to convert between units.. The correct answer is 0.69 acres.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
Q9. A property has a monthly gross income of $3,500 and sells for $252,000. What is the Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM)?
Explanation
GRM = Sale Price ÷ Monthly Gross Rent = $252,000 ÷ $3,500 = 72. Using the values given ($3,500, $252,000), apply the appropriate formula.. The correct answer is 72.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
Q10. A Georgia seller nets $180,000 after paying a 6% commission. What was the original selling price?
Explanation
Net = Sale Price × (1 − 0.06) → $180,000 = SP × 0.94 → SP = $180,000 ÷ 0.94 ≈ $191,489. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $180,000 at 6%.. The correct answer is $180,000.. This is a common calculation on the Georgia real estate exam.
