Questions

How many real estate agents and brokers are in Georgia?

As of September 2026, map listings count 12,830 real estate agents and brokers in Georgia. 397 of them (3%) are chain locations. The listings count real estate agents and brokerages, commercial brokers included. Official counts show 6,227 businesses with payroll classed as offices of real estate agents and brokers in 2023, up 21.6% from 2019.

How much do households in Georgia spend on rent and homeowner costs?

About $63.3B a year, or $15,525 per household. That is 7% below the U.S. average (an index of 93, where 100 is the U.S. average). For the 12,830 real estate agents and brokers on map listings, housing spending per office is 10% below the U.S. figure. That figure is all rent and homeowner costs, used as a measure of housing demand; it is not money real estate agents and brokers take in. It is estimated from the incomes of the 4,074,366 households in Georgia and national spending patterns by income.

How does Georgia compare with the U.S. for real estate agents and brokers?

Georgia has 31.5 real estate agents and brokers per 10,000 households, 3% above the U.S. rate of 30.6. The index of housing spending per office is 90, where 100 is the U.S. At the U.S. ratio of real estate agents and brokers to household spending, Georgia would have about 11,602, against 12,830 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 654 households, against one for every 788 across the U.S. The official count rose 21.6% from 2019 to 2023, against +20.1% for the U.S.

Which market in Georgia has the highest market score for real estate agents and brokers?

Among 15 scored metro areas in or partly in Georgia, the Dalton metro area scores highest, at 75 (high). Among 23 scored small-town markets in or partly in Georgia, the Cedartown area scores highest, at 77 (high). Among 97 scored counties in Georgia, Peach County scores highest, at 83 (high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.

What is the Groundwork market score?

The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Georgia scores 37 for real estate agents and brokers (lower middle), #41 of the 50 states and DC.

How can I see the market around a specific site?

Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Georgia. It maps the real estate agents and brokers on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
