For buyers

Find the right home, and know what you're really buying

How we help

Your trusted local guides, from first showing to closing day

  • We know what to look for

    We've bought, renovated and sold many homes ourselves. We'll point out what matters, from the roof and crawlspace to drainage and the lot, and what's just cosmetic.

  • Local, from the mountains to the lakes

    We know the neighborhoods, the lake communities and the trade-offs between them, from commute times to HOA rules and dock questions.

  • Lake property know-how

    Waterfront and lake-access homes on Hartwell and Keowee come with their own questions. We help you ask them before you fall in love with a view.

  • Honest guidance

    If a home isn't right for you, we'll say so. Our job is to help you buy the right home, not just a home.

The buying process

Seven steps to your new home

  1. Set your goals

    Where, how much space, what you can't live without and what you'd like to have. We'll help you sort must-haves from nice-to-haves.

  2. Know your budget

    Talk with a lender and get pre-approved before you shop. It tells you what you can comfortably afford and shows sellers you're serious. We can recommend trusted local lenders.

  3. Search

    We'll set up a search for you and keep watch for new homes, including ones that haven't hit the market yet.

  4. Tour and evaluate

    We'll tour homes with you and point out what matters, so you can compare them clearly.

  5. Make an offer

    We'll review recent sales with you, help you set a strong offer and negotiate on your behalf.

  6. Inspections and appraisal

    Your inspector and your lender's appraiser review the home. We'll help you understand the findings and what to ask for.

  7. Close and move in

    In South Carolina, a closing attorney handles the paperwork. We'll be at the table with you when you get your keys.

An estimate only, not a loan offer. Use the rate your lender quotes you. Property taxes in South Carolina vary by county and are much lower on a primary residence, so ask us for the figure on any home you're considering. Loans with less than 20% down usually add mortgage insurance.
