We buy across Columbia and the SC Midlands: Forest Acres, Shandon, Five Points, Cayce, West Columbia, Lexington, and the corridor along I-26 and I-77. Single-family, duplexes, USC-area rentals, and surrounding Richland County + Lexington County properties.
We work with homeowners facing inherited properties, landlord burnout, pre-foreclosure, divorce situations, code violations, and title problems other buyers won't touch.
We coordinate with your South Carolina probate attorney. SC probate runs 8-12 months — we have closed during open probate when attorneys are willing to work timing.
Rental near University of South Carolina that has been hard to manage? Bad tenants? We buy occupied. You do not need to evict first.
SC is a judicial foreclosure state. You typically have more lead time than Texas, but the process compounds quickly. Call early — the earlier we talk, the cleaner the close.
We pay cash, both parties get paid at closing, no listing, no showings, no repairs.
City fining you? County warning letters? Close as-is. We deal with the citations.
Probate disputes, missing heirs, broken chain of title, DIY deeds that backfired — we have closed these in SC. Most other buyers can't.
Nothing.
No agent commission. No SC closing fees. No repairs. No cleanout — leave what you do not want.
(210) 761-3033. Even though we are TX-based, Nancy answers Columbia leads same day. About 10 minutes.
Local partner walks the house if needed. Or we assess remotely with photos and a quick phone video walkthrough.
Written. Based on real SC comps, not online estimates.
