The real estate laws and closing process in South Carolina may be different from those in your current locale. For example, all transfers of property by law must be certified by a licensed attorney. Turner Perrow has practiced in South Carolina since 1992. His considerable knowledge of South Carolina real estate laws provides legal protection and smooth transactions in the sale or purchase of residential properties.
Full-Service, Credentialed Real Estate Lawyer
Tidelands Law is uniquely qualified to handle your move to South Carolina, from the initial search for your new home to signing the final documents to take possession.
- Choosing a Property — A licensed real estate broker since 1990, Turner Perrow can advise on acquiring beachfront property, golf course lots, vacation property, or existing (often historic) Georgetown County homes, and can connect clients with reputable custom home builders.
- Negotiating Terms — We can assist homebuyers or sellers in negotiation of sales price and drafting of purchase agreements to protect your interests under South Carolina real estate laws. We also prepare deeds in For Sale by Owner transactions.
- Lending — Tidelands Law partners with several local banks, connecting clients to low-rate financing through trusted mortgage lenders.
- Clear Title and Insurance — We thoroughly research and certify title to the property, and Mr. Perrow is an authorized title insurance underwriter.
- Closing Services — We attend your closing settlement to address any last-minute discrepancies and formalize the transfer of property.
Do I Need a Real Estate Attorney?
For many aspects of your transaction, a lawyer is required under South Carolina laws. In every aspect, it's a good idea. Unlike a realtor, a real estate attorney is qualified to provide an opinion of clear title, properly draft contracts to avoid liability exposure, and address legal issues that could otherwise kill the deal.
At Tidelands Law, you have the ease and security of knowing that an experienced lawyer is handling your real estate transaction from start to finish, rather than hiring separate professionals. Contact us today for a free phone consultation at (843) 485-0977.
