Use of “Showing Agents” and the Real Estate Practice Act
South Carolina Real Estate Commission
South Carolina Real Estate Commission
Abstract
A recent trend has come to the attention of the South Carolina Real Estate Commission: the use of “showing agents” by licensees to show properties to prospective buyers. Showing agents are individuals, either licensed or unlicensed, that are not affiliated with the hiring licensee’s real estate brokerage firm. They are typically hired in one of two ways: they can be found and paid directly by the hiring licensee’s real estate brokerage firm or their services can be secured through websites that connect listing or buyers’ agents with showing agents. The Commission finds it important to address this trend as it relates to the laws governing the practice of real estate in South Carolina.
