How to get a Real Estate License in South Carolina
To become a real estate agent in South Carolina, you must first get your South Carolina real estate license. The process of getting your real estate license generally takes a few months and includes the following steps:
1
Enroll in a South Carolina real estate school
2
Pass the course final exam
3
Complete the background check
4
Apply for your South Carolina real estate license
5
Pass the state license exam
How to get a Real Estate License in South Carolina
To earn a South Carolina real estate associate license, complete the required education, application, background check and exam requirements set by the South Carolina Real Estate Commission (SCREC).
1
Check South Carolina license eligibility
You must be at least 18 and have a high school diploma or recognized equivalent. Confirm eligibility and any education exemptions with the South Carolina Real Estate Commission.
2
Complete 60 hours of Unit I pre-licensing education
Finish the Commission-approved Unit I: Fundamentals of Real Estate course and its required course assessment. South Carolina also requires 30 hours of Unit II: Advanced Real Estate Principles before issuing your associate license. Unit II may be completed after the state exam.
3
Apply for exam eligibility
Submit the $25 application and required supporting documents through the SCREC associate application process. The Commission reviews your application before authorizing you to schedule the licensing exam. Your application is valid for one year from receipt.
4
Pass the PSI licensing exam
After SCREC approves your examination application, schedule the national and South Carolina state exam portions with PSI. The Commission lists $63 for both portions or $55 for the state portion alone. Follow the Commission’s PSI examination guidance when scheduling and preparing for your test.
5
Complete Unit II and submit your final documents
If you have not already finished it, complete the 30-hour Unit II course. Submit proof of completion and the Supervision Attestation Form through the Commission’s document-submission process after passing the required exam portions.
6
Pay the licensing fee and activate your license
Pay the $50 initial associate licensing fee when invoiced. To practice, you must work under a South Carolina broker-in-charge. Without a supervising brokerage, your license will be issued inactive, and you cannot practice until it is activated.

Each class must be completed in the format it was started to receive credit.
SCREC lists a $25 application fee, a $63 PSI exam fee for both portions ($55 for the state portion only), and a $50 initial associate license fee.

Check the South Carolina Real Estate Commission fee schedule and current course pricing before enrolling.
South Carolina has reciprocity agreements with Georgia and North Carolina. Eligibility and exam exemptions differ: qualifying Georgia reciprocity applicants may avoid the licensing exam, while qualifying North Carolina applicants take the South Carolina state portion. Review the SCREC reciprocity requirements before applying.
