Based upon information recently received from the South Carolina Real Estate Commission, the North Carolina Real Estate Commission has determined that it can no longer permit South Carolina residents to sit for North Carolina real estate license examinations.

Under the South Carolina Real Estate License Law and Regulations, in order to be eligible for a South Carolina real estate license, the applicant must be either a resident of South Carolina -or a- licensed real estate broker or salesman in a state which has a reciprocal licensing agreement with South Carolina. North Carolina law requires that applicants from other states be treated in the same manner as North Carolinians applying for licensure in such other states.

Therefore, residents of South Carolina cannot obtain North Carolina real estate licenses UNLESS they are licensed real estate brokers or salesmen in South Carolina and other wise satisfy the requirements of our Reciprocal Licensing Agreement with the South Carolina Real Estate Commission.
