How many real estate agents in South Carolina?
Count taken September 5, 2026Page built September 5, 2026
6,244 real estate agents in South Carolina had a published, current brokerage profile when we counted on September 5, 2026. That is 1.3% of the 493,081 agents counted across the United States, and ranks South Carolina 21st of 51 states and DC.
"Agent" on this page means a person with a live profile on a brokerage's website at the time of the count. It is not the number of licences South Carolina has issued, which is higher because many licensees are inactive or unaffiliated, and it is not REALTOR® association membership. The count covers 14 brands; see how the counting works for what is and is not included.

Top real estate brokerages in South Carolina
The ten biggest real estate companies in South Carolina by number of agents with a published profile. A company that publishes no office names (Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Compass and others) appears as one row.
| Brokerage | Agents | Share of attributed agents | Brand | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Keller Williams | 1,511 | 24.2% | |
| 2 | Coldwell Banker Realty | 752 | 12.0% | Coldwell Banker |
| 3 | RE/MAX | 666 | 10.7% | |
| 4 | Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | 637 | 10.2% | |
| 5 | Real Broker | 599 | 9.6% | Real Brokerage |
| 6 | ERA Wilder Realty | 310 | 5.0% | ERA |
| 7 | Coldwell Banker Caine | 213 | 3.4% | Coldwell Banker |
| 8 | Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage | 124 | 2.0% | Coldwell Banker |
| 9 | Fathom Realty | 113 | 1.8% | |
| 10 | Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Palmetto | 100 | 1.6% | Better Homes and Gardens |
By brand rather than company, Keller Williams has 1,511 (24%), Coldwell Banker has 1,175 (19%), Century 21 has 802 (13%), RE/MAX has 666 (11%) and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has 637 (10%). A brand's figure adds up every company operating under that name, so a franchise like Coldwell Banker or Century 21 is spread over many rows in the table above but appears once here.

Websites, phone numbers and email
Among the 6,225 South Carolina agents whose profiles we check for a personal website, 5.4% have a site of their own rather than a page on the brokerage's site. The national figure is 7.2%. 92.1% of the 6,244 checked agents publish a direct phone number (national: 90.7%). Every counted agent has a published email address, which is the inclusion rule. In South Carolina, 33% of those addresses are on a franchise domain, 46% on the agent's or the office's own domain, and 21% on free webmail such as Gmail or Yahoo. No address appears on this site.
Where the data comes from
The count is built from the public agent directories of 14 brokerage brands operating in South Carolina, led by Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker, Century 21 and RE/MAX. Brands that publish no directory, and independent brokerages outside those networks, are not counted, so the true number of working agents is higher than the figure on this page; the ranking of brokerages and cities is among the networks we can see.
Every agent counted here has a published email address; that is the inclusion rule. The contact file itself, one row per agent, is sold as the South Carolina realtor email list at usrealtorlist.com, which is where these counts are drawn from.
