NO. South Carolina has a separate limited license for property managers. Real estate brokers and salespeople may also be involved in property management. Property managers must be licensed under a "property manager-in-charge" or a "broker-in-charge." A "property manager" is defined as an individual, who, for a fee, salary, or commission, or other valuable consideration or who with the intent or expectation of receiving compensation: - Negotiates or attempts to negotiate the rental or leasing of real estate or improvements thereon; - Lists or offers to list and provide services in connection with the leasing or rental of real estate or improvements thereon; - Advertises or otherwise holds himself out to the public as being engaged in any of the foregoing activities. A "property manager in charge" is the property manager who has responsibility for the actions of the associate property managers and who has responsibility and control over and liability for trust accounts. Generally, residential property managers are not exempt from the requirement that they have either a property manager license or a broker license, even if they do not engage in leasing activities.
