What is one requirement for a customer service representative to not require a license?

A customer service representative in South Carolina can operate without needing a license if they are supervised by a licensed broker. This stipulation exists to ensure that the representative works within the regulatory framework of the industry while still being able to assist clients and support the broker’s operations. The licensed broker provides the necessary oversight and guidance, which helps maintain compliance with relevant laws and protects consumers.

The other options do not align with the licensing requirements. Working more than 40 hours a week does not affect whether a representative needs a license. Passing a competency exam, while important for licensed individuals, is not a requirement for someone operating under the supervision of a licensed broker. Similarly, the length of employment, such as working for a minimum of two years, does not exempt a representative from the licensing requirement if they are not under proper supervision.
