In the high-stakes Georgia real estate market, clear documentation is the only defense against commission disputes and fiduciary breaches. This employment contract is specifically engineered for Georgia brokerage firms, integrating the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act and O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 restrictive covenant guidelines. Whether managing MLS entry protocols, earnest money handling, or RESPA compliance, this agreement establishes a precise at-will relationship (O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1) that protects your firm's proprietary property data and client relationships.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Real Estate Agent:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Disclosure Violations
Using detailed disclosure forms and checklists mandated by state laws to ensure all known defects and issues with a property are disclosed to the buyer.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Drafting clear agency agreements that outline responsibilities and obtaining written consent for any conflicts of interest.
Commission Disputes
Clearly stated commission structures in listing agreements, along with detailed descriptions of services provided.

Recommended coverage: Errors & Omissions Insurance (E&O) · General Liability Insurance
Yes, under O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq. (the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act), non-compete agreements are enforceable if they are reasonable in duration, geographic area, and the scope of prohibited activities. For real estate professionals, these are typically scrutinized to ensure they do not unfairly prevent an agent from earning a living while still protecting the broker's legitimate business interests.
Per O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, employment in Georgia is generally 'at-will,' meaning either the broker or the agent can terminate the relationship at any time for any reason that is not illegal. However, your contract should clearly outline how pending commissions and 'procuring cause' disputes are handled post-termination to avoid litigation.
The contract includes specific job duty language requiring strict adherence to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) regarding prohibited kickbacks and settlement transparency, as well as mandatory compliance with the Fair Housing Act to mitigate brokerage liability for agent-level discrimination.
