Pass your South Carolina Salesperson or Broker-in-Charge License
South Carolina requires clients to sign a written representation agreement before any broker can advocate or advise on price, and the LLR tests that boundary throughout the agency section.
Most prep courses teach agency as a relationship defined by conduct. South Carolina defines it by written agreement, and the line between a client and a customer here carries specific legal consequences the exam tests directly. AI generated question banks average across state rules and produce content that reflects the majority approach. South Carolina’s rule is not the majority approach.
The License Professor is written by licensed South Carolina professionals who built questions around PSI state portion priorities. Every question on representation agreement triggers, transaction broker duties, and trust account rules is grounded in South Carolina law.
Three Topics that Trip Up South Carolina Students Most
Agency Relationships
South Carolina distinguishes between clients (with written agreements) and customers (with only ministerial services) — until a representation agreement is signed, the brokerage cannot advocate or advise on price.
Transaction Broker Duties
A transaction broker must disclose "material adverse facts" but has no duty of loyalty — students confuse the six mandatory customer duties with the higher obligations owed to clients.
Disclosure of RE Interest
Licensees must disclose their license status in bold, underlined, capital letters on the first page of any contract when they are a party, plus at first contact and in all advertising — miss any one of these three and you miss the question.
The South Carolina Real Estate License Professor includes specialized deep dives for each of these.
