Patricia is the Broker-in-Charge of a Myrtle Beach real estate office. A licensed salesperson affiliated with her office, Jorge, wants to advertise his personal real estate services on social media using only his own name and the tagline 'Call me for all your Myrtle Beach real estate needs!' without mentioning the firm. Under South Carolina advertising regulations, what must Patricia ensure?

Correct Answer

A) Patricia must ensure that Jorge's social media advertisement includes the firm's licensed name, because SC regulations require all licensee advertising to identify the affiliated brokerage

Under SCREC Regulation 36-2, all advertising by affiliated licensees must include the firm's licensed name. A salesperson may not advertise real estate services in a manner that fails to identify the brokerage with which they are affiliated. As BIC, Patricia is responsible for ensuring that all advertising by licensees under her supervision complies with this requirement.
