About South Carolina
Selling a house in South Carolina
Columbia is South Carolina's capital, and Charleston, Columbia, and North Charleston are its largest cities, with fast growth in the Upstate around Greenville and along the coast. The state has become a major auto and aircraft manufacturing center, and the Port of Charleston and coastal tourism are also large parts of the economy.
South Carolina is home to about 5,478,831 people across 46 counties. We buy houses in every one of them, from Greenville County, Charleston County, Richland County, and Horry County to the smallest rural counties, and in cities like Charleston, Columbia, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Rock Hill, and Greenville.
Its economy runs on automotive manufacturing, aerospace, port and logistics, tourism, healthcare and agriculture and forestry. Major employers include BMW Manufacturing, Boeing South Carolina, Michelin North America, Sonoco, Prisma Health, and MUSC Health, and the state is home to University of South Carolina, Clemson University, and College of Charleston. Visitors know it for Congaree National Park, Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park, Cowpens National Battlefield, and Middleton Place.
South Carolina's housing skews mixed in age: 33% of homes predate 1980, and 28% of households rent. About 13% of homes stand empty. Whatever its age, we buy a house as-is, with no repairs or cleaning. Rentals sell with tenants in place, and we pay the closing costs.
Selling a house in South Carolina closes through a title company, which records the deed with the county and settles any liens or back taxes from the sale. Official information is on the state's portal, SC.gov, and property tax questions go to the South Carolina Department of Revenue.
