Which of the following roles is exempt from real estate licensing requirements?

The role of corporation officers is exempt from real estate licensing requirements in North Carolina when they are engaging in real estate transactions on behalf of the corporation. This exemption recognizes that officers of a corporation, when acting within their official capacity, are conducting business that is part of their corporate duties rather than acting as independent real estate agents. As such, they do not require a real estate license to perform activities related to the corporation's real estate dealings.

In contrast, real estate agents are specifically required to have a license to perform real estate transactions. Row-home managers, who handle the management aspects of residential properties, typically also need to be licensed. Property developers, while heavily involved in real estate, are generally required to hold proper licenses if they are selling or leasing properties. This distinction exists to ensure that individuals engaging in real estate transactions adhere to the professional standards and regulations governing the industry.
