Property manager licensing in South Carolina

South Carolina has a separate property manager license. A property manager negotiates rentals or leases for others for compensation, and it is unlawful to act as one without an active license from the Real Estate Commission. Statute text: "It is unlawful for an individual to act as a real estate broker, real estate associate, or real estate property manager or to advertise or provide services as such without an active, valid license issued by the commission" (S.C. Code Ann. §§ 40-57-20, 40-57-30).
