The South Carolina forms with updates are already live on screaltors.org as PDFs and the zipForms vendor has promised that the South Carolina forms in zipForms will be updated on August 1. The other vendors should be close to that date too.

So, South Carolina member brokerages/licensees should have access to and be using the updated SCR forms well before the changeover dates.

If the brokerage and brokerage attorney want to change the listing agreements and buyer agreements from their current signed form to the updated form around the MLS/forms changeover dates, that is fine and a procedure that SCR is okay with brokerages doing. This change would likely have the same impact as the NCAR addendum.

So, there is no SCR addendum with a similar purpose as the NCAR addendum since the change to the SCR updated form has the same impact.

There is always a little bit of a risk that a seller or buyer might try to use that change conversation/action as a means to terminate and leave that brokerage. Likely this would be rare, but possible and therefore likely mostly a brokerage concern for a very large seller client or very large buyer client where the money impact could be significant on the brokerage and not such a brokerage concern for a regular seller or buyer where the regular amount of money could be found in a new client.

SCR forms should be at Vendors by these dates below here.

SCR forms PDFs are currently at screaltors.org along with training help videos and helpful redlined versions of forms.

The zipForms team has stated their goal is to update the forms by August 1. The other forms vendors should be close to that date.
