can an attorney be a real estate broker in South Carolina?

I know you can in North Carolina -- here's the ruling from the State Bar in N.C.:\n\nAn attorney who is also a real estate broker may so indicate on his letterhead. He may operate both businesses from same office. \n\nBut you should just contact the S.C. State Bar -- they'll tell you, and probably can do so anonymously, if thats what you want.

I'm afraid not.  Real Estate agent is not considered a small business.  Now if you owned the realty office, then they could.

If you are a Realtor, check with your broker. If not, it depends on what kind of regulations your state and local governments have regarding your question.

The requirements vary by state.\nLook for your state's Real Estate Commission online. They can advise you what the requirements are in your state, and list the currently available schools.  These may be community colleges, or privately owned schools. There may be many ways to meet the requirements. Compare carefully.\n\nTexas requires several courses, the last time I checked California required only one class, if I remember correctly.

Real Estate Investors by nature want to make money in purchasing real estate,so in answer to your question yes they want to purchase the property as cheap as possible.\n\nAbout the paper work, if you reside in a state where attorneys are used to close real estate transactions then yes you need an attorney, if not then use the normal closing agents authorized in your state. The investor understands the paperwork involved in most all real estate transactions since they don't want any problem in selling the property.\n\nThey will normally go to a professional closing agent such as an escrow or title company to handle their closings and complete the transaction. \n\nMost investors will give you a good deal based on the condition of the property, how much money he will have to put into the property to put it in a position to be sold.\n\nNow if you want top dollar for your property, you have the time to sell it, you are not forced to sell the property because of foreclosure or other reason,then an investor is not the best route to go. If you have the time, the house is in good condition to sell and need no major repairs either sell it yourself or go through a real estate agent.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

There are many good real estate lawyers in Texas.  What city are you in?  I would narrow down the selection process that way.  Also check with the licensing association in Austin.  They will also be able to tell you who is having "professional difficulty," something you would want to stay away from in an attorney.

You need to have a Bachelor's Degree - Criminal Justice is just fine, as is Education, Philosophy, Nursing, or just about anything else.\n\nThen you need to take the LSAT and get accepted by an ABA  [American Bar Association] accredited law school. In South Carolina I think USC is the only one. However, there are plenty of other law schools throughout the USA.\n\nGraduate from law school, pass the SC bar examination, get hired as a prosecutor somewhere, even if in some rural area, and after a few years go out on your own.\n\nGood luck to you

Each state has different laws regarding real estate.\n\nThere are several courses, colleges, and universities within each state that provide correspondence courses.\n\nReal estate is a broad category and unless you plan on moving to the United States, it is difficult (not impossible though) to practice some of the forms of it overseas.\n\nI know Kaplan has courses for different careers in real estate in different states.  It really depends on what you want to do and where you will be living.\n\nPlease clarify what your future plans/goals are for a better answer.

Anyone can sell real estate. All it takes is proper licensing. I wouldn't use an lawyer simply due to the length of time they take to do anything. Closings would take months instead of weeks. (Billable hours, ya know!)I am in R/E and that's all I do. I am an expert in my city and I think its VERY important to use an expert when ever you can. I'm worrying about my Real Estate client more than my criminal case, divorce case, traffic case, etc....

Generally, you will need to hold a real estate license to transact real estate.  The most common loophole is if you are the owner or in the employ of the owner.  This will vary slightly state to state according to their real estate laws.\n\nTypically though, you are able to show units for sale or lease, but would be restricted when it comes to actions considered real estate brokerage.  For instance, you would be able to show a property for sale or lease, but not discuss contracts, negotiations or prices that the owner would consider.\n\nBasically, without a license or not in the employ of the owner, you would be restricted to responding to only certain questions and with specific answers.\n\nIt should be mentioned that some states will allow you to act in the capacity of a real estate agent if you are between licenses or are to be licensed soon.  You will not be able to be paid though until you are licensed.

There are no real estate investment websites that I know of...  Realtors can't and don't sell investments, they can only sell you real estate that you may use as an investment.   In order for a Realtor to be able to sell real estate as an investment they would have to get properly licensed through the SEC, don't know many who are.\n\nI would recommend choosing an area and looking at properties for sale on the web in that town...\n\nRegards,\nJoe Ballarino\nhttp://www.AmerivestRealty.com

No.  You can hold a real estate license and not be a Realtor if you don't want to be one.  Being a Realtor shows people that you adhere to a higher code of ethics than that required to only be a licensee.  You may have to be a Realtor though to participate in the local MLS.

I will assume that you don't live in NC.  Unless you are licensed in NC I think the only thing you can do is a referal to an agent in the Charlotte area.  I don't know the going referal rate where you are but here in California it's about 30% of the comission.

That's definitely a question best handled by the professionals involved, like your realtor and your attorney. Just don't know, it'll be different from state-to-state. Plz talk to your attorney!
