Patricia is a licensed salesperson in Georgia who wants to conduct real estate activities in South Carolina. She has been approached by a South Carolina seller to list a property in Hilton Head. Under South Carolina law, which of the following correctly describes the requirements for Patricia to lawfully receive compensation for this transaction?

Correct Answer

C) Patricia may cooperate with a South Carolina licensed broker who handles the transaction, and compensation may be paid through that SC broker

South Carolina allows out-of-state licensees to participate in SC real estate transactions through a cooperative arrangement with a South Carolina licensed broker. The out-of-state licensee must work through and be compensated through the SC broker. This is the lawful mechanism for nonresident licensees to participate in SC transactions without holding a full SC license, governed by S.C. Code Ann. § 40-57-10 et seq.

Answer Options
A
Patricia may conduct the transaction freely because Georgia and South Carolina have a full reciprocity agreement requiring no additional steps
B
Patricia must first obtain a South Carolina salesperson license through the standard examination process before conducting any activity
C
Patricia may cooperate with a South Carolina licensed broker who handles the transaction, and compensation may be paid through that SC broker
D
Patricia may list the property under her Georgia license as long as she files a one-time nonresident notification with the SCREC
