Dear Buyer,
Since you are looking
for Homes in the Myrtle Beach area, for investment purposes,
retirement, or as a permanent home this is the page to start your
research. When looking for Oceanfront property, understand the
insurance issues; with residential single family homes ask about the HOA. Condos present some unique opportunities, both as investments
and as a second or permanent homes. Know where you think you might
want to live, Myrtle Beach itself, Surfside Beach, North Myrtle
Beach each has its own unique flavor. Pawley's Island and Litchfield
offer a little of the old world atmosphere. While Conway and
Georgetown give you small town Americana while being close to the
sandy beaches and warm water of South Carolina. This whole area is
called the Grand Strand, with Brookgreen Gardens, Barefoot Landing,
Broadway at the Beach; great vacations can be enjoyed here, along
with golf, with over 115 active courses to challenge without
frustrating you.
Before working with a
Licensed Real Estate agent you may want to familiarize yourself with
some of the documents that you may be asked to help complete and
then sign. The state of South Carolina has for several years
followed a rule of law that "protects the public"; this means that
the Real Estate Agent is required to inform you of the laws and then
ask you to sign documents attesting to this fact. There should be no
fear on your part in doing this, in fact you should wonder about an
agent who "does not"
inform you. This process not only establishes how the agent and
you will work together, but protects both of you down the road as
the purchase process moves forward.
These links provide the
documents and in some cases explanations from the State of South
Carolina how they should be used. Taking the time NOW will allow you
and your agent of choice to work together for your mutual goals.
