Carlos holds a South Carolina real estate license that is currently on inactive status. A friend asks Carlos to help sell her home and offers to pay him a commission. Under South Carolina law, which of the following is correct?

Correct Answer

C) Carlos may not perform licensed real estate activities or accept compensation while his license is on inactive status

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 40-57-10 et seq., a licensee with an inactive license may not perform any activity that requires a real estate license and may not receive compensation for such activities. Inactive status means the licensee is not authorized to practice real estate. Performing licensed activities on inactive status is a violation of the License Law.

Answer Options
A
Carlos may assist his friend and accept compensation because personal transactions between friends are exempt from the license law
B
Carlos may assist his friend but must disclose his inactive license status in writing before proceeding
C
Carlos may not perform licensed real estate activities or accept compensation while his license is on inactive status
D
Carlos may perform the transaction if he first notifies the SCREC in writing within 10 days of beginning the activity
