LETTER FROM THE LEGISLATIVE CHAIR

South Carolina REALTORS®, As a member of the South Carolina REALTORS®, I have seen the benefit our Legislative Committee has had on prioritizing and advancing key legislation that is crucial to our industry’s growth and resilience.

It is my honor to address you as the 2024 Chair and reflect on the impactful legislative strides we’ve achieved in 2023. Over the past year, SCR has successfully influenced policies that streamline regulatory processes and fostered a business environment that is both efficient and mindful of consumers and member interests.

The mission of the South Carolina REALTORS® is to equip members for success and to be the champion for thriving communities, real property rights and attainable housing for all.

Our collective commitment has also addressed affordable housing challenges, promoted diverse housing options, and contributed to the accessibility of homeownership. 2023 has also brought to light several key challenges that we need to address in 2024, mainly on legislation that transforms how we do business as real estate professionals.

The real estate industry has undergone significant changes in the past several years, and with the integration of new technology, how we do business has changed. We must ensure that existing laws are updated to maintain an efficient and modernized real estate environment. We will remain vigilant in our dedication to shaping policies that empower REALTORS® and enhance the real estate landscape in South Carolina.

Your support and engagement are the cornerstones of our success, and I look forward to continuing this journey together for the prosperity of our organization and the community we serve.

Sincerely,

The South Carolina REALTORS® Legislative Committee closely monitors legislative issues that could affect South Carolina’s real estate industry and impact consumers.

Committee members are made up of passionate REALTORS® that review these policies and provide the direction for advocacy that would result in the best outcome.

2024 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES

S.953 STATEWIDE FRAMEWORK FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS Short-term rentals (STRs) are a vital part of South Carolina’s housing economy. Short-term rental properties can bring a positive economic impact to a city or county through additional tax revenues and benefit the communities as a whole by filling gaps in markets where additional lodging is needed.

SCR supports lawmakers in efforts to protect an individual’s property rights from local overreach by disallowing municipalities from outright bans of short-term rentals. We support the creation of fair rules and mechanisms to enhance accountability and transparency such as tax remittance, registrations, and other necessary ordinances to protect the public and consumer’s quality of life.

2024 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES H.4754 REAL ESTATE LICENSE LAW UPDATE New social media, advertising, and educational technologies have dramatically changed how properties are bought, sold, and managed.

This presents both opportunities and challenges. The legal changes in this law allow for a more modernized real estate industry that is better governed, protects consumers, promotes professionalism, and increases accountability among industry players.

These updates are needed to keep pace with a fast-moving industry.

Working with the South Carolina Real Estate Commission, SCR calls upon our legislative leaders to support these SC Real Estate License Law changes.

CONSUMER PROTECTION • Allows for internet and social media marketing • Ends preferential treatment for nonresident licensees

MODERNIZATION & BETTER GOVERNANCE • Prohibition in the practice of “wholesaling” for real estate licensees • Increased educational requirements

INDUSTRY CHANGES • Increase industry professionalism • Institute uniform advertising methods

2024 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES H.4247/S.881 – PROHIBITION OF UNFAIR REAL ESTATE SERVICE AGREEMENTS Real estate service agreements - specifically long-term marketing agreements - between property owners and real estate service providers, typically involve extended commitments during which property owners are bound to exclusive arrangements with specific agencies for the marketing and sale of their properties. Passage of this legislation will ensure that consumers are adequately protected from predatory marketing/listing practices.

WHAT IS RPAC? (REALTORS® POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE)

Since 1969, RPAC has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the U.S. and South Carolina. The purpose of RPAC is clear: voluntary contributions made by REALTORS® are used to help elect candidates who understand and support their interests.

These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by REALTORS® in recognition of the importance of the political process.

REALTORS® Political Action Committee and other political fundraising are the keys to protecting and promoting the real estate industry.

CALL TO ACTION Congress averted a Government Shutdown and a lapse in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in September 2023 after REALTORS® made a huge advocacy push. Through the call to action launched by NAR, over 1.5 million were mobilized to contact Congress and warn of the dangers of letting the NFIP lapse during a shutdown.

According to NAR a lapse of the NFIP would have disrupted the purchase of flood insurance in more than 20,000 communities nationwide with an extended lapse in NFIP authority affecting 1,300 real estate transactions per day.

Without REALTORS® efforts through this national Call To Action the NFIP may not have been reauthorized and over 200,000 South Carolinians would have lost or had a lapse in coverage!

FAQs

Q: What is RPAC? A: The REALTORS® Political Action Committee, governed by a Board of Trustees from across the state’s 15 local boards and associations, evaluates and supports elective representatives at all levels of government who believe in REALTOR® Party values. Before any dollars are approved, candidates are thoroughly vetted by the RPAC Trustees.

Complying with all state ethics laws, including additional voluntary reporting, RPAC is the largest PAC based on state ethics commission reporting.

Q: Where does my investment in RPAC go?

A: For every dollar you invest in RPAC– 30 percent goes to the National Association of REALTORS® to support federal advocacy goals, and the rest stays in South Carolina, split between state and local races. Forty percent to statewide candidates, and 30 percent to support local candidates right in your backyard.

Q: If I don’t believe in giving money to political candidates, why should I give money to RPAC? A: By giving to RPAC, you are investing in your own business and ensuring we help secure the future of our industry. When you pay auto or home insurance, you are protecting yourself from potential harm to your car or home. Like that, we want you to invest in candidates who will support the interests of your business and protect you from the detrimental impacts of policies that do not represent the best interest of our industry.

Q: I am not a full-time REALTOR® , so why should I contribute?

A: While you’re looking out for your clients, who’s always looking out for you and your interests? The answer – RPAC – the REALTORS® Political Action Committee. Our legislative wins would not be possible without REALTORS® investment in RPAC.

Without RPAC REALTORS® wouldn’t have been able to: • Continue working during the COVID-19 pandemic. REALTORS® were deemed essential meaning that you did not have to close the doors to your business or your clients.

• Fight for policies that support homeownership and housing opportunities for all.

We are making sure the REALTOR® agenda is represented at the statehouse and at every level of government. Together, we’re a powerful voice working across the aisle to solve the issues of today… and looking to the future.

Q: What if I am a Democrat/Republican, and RPAC has supported candidates of the other party?

A: The REALTOR® Party is not about Democrats or Republicans; it’s about policies, not politics, that support strong communities, protect property interests and homeownership, and promote a vibrant business environment. Basically, what we, as REALTORS®, believe in and fight for every day. Advocacy that helps keep money in your pocket.

Q: Other than a monetary contribution, how else can I support South Carolina REALTORS®?

A: We’re the only ones protecting private property rights and the American dream of home ownership. So, get beyond the day-to-day transactions. Invest a little in your future. Invest in your business by getting involved in your association. In addition to investing in RPAC, make sure you’re registered to vote, vote and encourage others to vote, and act by getting involved with your local association. Serve on committees, and participate in advocacy and community outreach events. We need you. Vote. Act. Invest.

CLOSING STATEMENT FROM THE CEO

South Carolina REALTORS®, South Carolina stands as an exceptional place to call home, boasting a remarkable surge in economic prosperity stretching from Charleston to Greenville, Beaufort to Myrtle Beach, and everywhere in between. This flourishing growth has contributed to continued supply and demand issues we face across the state. The rising interest rates, which are now on the decline in 2024, home prices, and the increasing demand to learn new technological advancements have put 2023 on my list of challenging years in real estate, but through all that, we still had an incredible year as an industry.

I am excited to work with you to achieve our mutual goals to facilitate positive policy outcomes that benefit not only the South Carolina REALTORS® but all citizens of South Carolina. Through our South Carolina Good Life Initiative, we focus on the following: 1.

2.

3.

Helping create plans for the growing population and how to improve infrastructure effectively to promote homeownership and provide more affordable workforce housing options Supporting policies that encourage conservation and the wise use of natural resources Raising the profile of South Carolina’s growing economic development opportunities across the state, removing barriers to investment in South Carolina real estate

In 2023, SCR implemented several new products and services for our members. The new safety application, Forewarn, had the fastest adoption rate of any member service ever! Within just the first three months, 10,000 members were actively using the service.
