Sandra is a licensed broker in South Carolina who currently serves as the Broker-in-Charge of a Charleston office. Her firm wants to open a second office in Mount Pleasant and asks Sandra to serve as BIC for both locations. Under South Carolina law, how should Sandra respond?

Correct Answer

D) Sandra may not serve as BIC for both offices simultaneously; each office must have its own designated Broker-in-Charge

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 40-57-360, a Broker-in-Charge may only serve as BIC for one office location at a time under normal circumstances. The Mount Pleasant office is a separate location and therefore requires its own designated BIC. Sandra cannot simultaneously hold the BIC designation for both the Charleston and Mount Pleasant offices.

Answer Options
A
Sandra may serve as BIC for both offices if she obtains written approval from SCREC in advance
B
Sandra may serve as BIC for both offices if the two locations are within the same county
C
Sandra may serve as BIC for both offices if she hires a licensed salesperson to manage the day-to-day operations at each location
D
Sandra may not serve as BIC for both offices simultaneously; each office must have its own designated Broker-in-Charge
