This message is intended to inform the members of the Georgia Association of REALTORS® of the details for submitting a proposal to the State Properties Commission. Based on the extensive qualifications set forth by the Commission, this will be a highly competitive process where the contracts will be awarded to a very small list of brokerages. Please note that the State Properties Commission manages approximately 1,800 properties across the state and has contemplated the use of local brokerages if appropriate, as highlighted in sections D1 and D2 of the document. We understand that all firms will not meet the extensive criteria set forth, however there are opportunities for brokerages across the state to partner with the selected firms to assist in your local market.
