Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What are the steps to buy a home in Myrtle Beach?
In order: pre-approval, home search, offer and negotiation, inspections and document review, appraisal, and an attorney-led closing. The full process usually runs 45 to 75 days from first search to keys.
Who pays the buyer's agent in South Carolina?
Compensation is negotiable. In many Grand Strand transactions the seller offers compensation to the buyer's agent, and where they do not, buyers can negotiate it into the offer or pay it directly under their written buyer agreement.
What happens during the inspection period?
Buyers complete inspections, review HOA and condo documents, and confirm financing before key contract deadlines pass. The South Carolina contract follows a repair-request procedure, so dates and written notices matter.
