BUYERS representation Myrtle Beach Real Estate - 843, REALTOR

BUYERS representation Myrtle Beach Real Estate - 843, REALTOR

The 1st question a consumer should ask when contacting any Real Estate Company is do they represent the seller or buyer?

When consumers contact the Real Estate Company/Agent that has the sign on the homes front yard they are contacting the SELLER’s Real Estate Company/Agent. By law, the seller’s Real Estate Company/Agent legally works for the SELLER and by LAW must represent and negotiate in the best interest of the SELLER. While most Real Estate Agents try to be fair to the buyer a Company/Agent representing the SELLER is bound by Real Estate License Laws, the Law of Agency, and their Code of Ethics. The listing Company/Agent can’t tell you if the home is overpriced or give you negotiating advice. The listing Agents job is to get the highest price and best terms for the SELLER.

BUYERS need to have an Agent working to represent the BUYER’s best interest. That is where 843, REALTOR comes in. We can represent the Myrtle Beach Real Estate . BUYER’s best interest, find and show them properties, and help them negotiate the best price and terms. As a member of the REALTORS Association and MLS we have access to all the properties in our MLS.

How much does it cost for 843, REALTOR to represent Real Estate Buyer’s? 843, REALTOR does NOT charge their buyer clients. Our Buyer Clients have no out of pocket expenses for our service. When the seller places a home in the MLS they post a fee they agree to pay any Agent that brings them a buyer. While this fee can change for each property 843, REALTOR considers that fee as payment in full.

Can I save money by not using a Real Estate Agent? When the seller places their property for sale in the MLS, the seller signs a contract to pay a set fee. As an example a 6% fee will be paid when the property is sold. If the buyer does not use a Buyer’s Agent then the listing agents gets the full 6% commission. If the buyer hires 843, REALTOR the seller still has to pay the 6% commission it is just split between agents. The difference here is that the buyer has an agent working for them negotiating the lowest price and best terms. Either way the seller is paying the commission on the sale of the property.

What if I hire 843, REALTOR as a Buyer’s Agent and I do not buy a property? You would owe 843, REALTOR no money. 843, REALTOR understands the importance of Buyers Representation and is still required to keep the clients information confidential. This is why using 843, REALTOR is a win, win situation for Myrtle Beach Buyers..

South Carolina real property Private transfer taxes


Private transfer taxes are a troubling development in real property law that allows for private parties to impose real estate transfer taxes or fees on the sale of real property. Private transfer taxes are similar to the real estate transfer tax, except that it is a private party that collects the fee upon every single sale of a particular home, rather than a governmental entity.
At its most basic elements, the imposition of private transfer fee allows a third party to collect a fee upon every purchase of a particular property, calculated as a percentage of the sale price far into the future. While the legality and enforceability of this approach is the topic of much debate, South Carolina REALTORS® are seeking to proactively protect South Carolina consumers through legislation prohibiting the imposition of new private transfer taxes or fees. Five states (TX, MO, FL, OR, and CA) have already passed bills into law that prohibit private transfer fees, and several other states have pending legislation. In passing similar legislation, South Carolina has the opportunity to be at the forefront in protecting consumers from what is a new invention in property law. This is a common-sense and consumer-friendly proposal

South Carolina REALTORS® modernize licensing


Improving professionalism in the real estate industry remains a priority for South Carolina REALTORS®. Over the past year, we have been working with the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee and their staff on an update of the Real Estate Practice Act.
South Carolina REALTORS® are proposing an update to the Real Estate Practice Act to modernize the license and the Real Estate Commission. SCR is proposing an increase in both the quality and quantity of pre- and post-licensing education available to real estate professionals across the state, modernizing the current three license categories into one-single broker license, and modernizing the SC Real Estate Commission and the way it interacts with licensees and consumers. The proposal would increase accreditation requirements for education providers and instructors, expand the course offerings and delivery methods, and build on mentoring currently available in the industry for new real estate professionals. We expect this bill to be introduced the first day of session by House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee Chairman Bill Sandifer (Oconee).


SECTION 40-57-100. Educational requirements conditional to application for licensure.
(A) As a condition for and before applying to take a license examination, an applicant for a salesman, broker, or property manager license shall provide proof of having met these educational requirements within the last five years:

(1) For a salesman's license, completion of sixty hours of classroom instruction in fundamentals of real estate principles and practices or evidence submitted to the department of a Juris Doctor, Bachelor of Laws degree, or a baccalaureate degree with a major in real estate from an accredited college or university. Within one year following licensure, a salesman shall provide proof of satisfactory completion of thirty hours of post-licensing instruction in advanced real estate principles and practices. Failure to complete the post-licensing education within one year will result in cancellation of the license;

(2) For a broker's license, completion of one hundred fifty hours, ninety hours of which may be the hours required for a salesman's license, of classroom instruction in advanced real estate principles and practices and related topics, and three years of experience with a salesman's license or evidence submitted to the department of a Juris Doctor, Bachelor of Laws degree, or a baccalaureate degree with a major in real estate from an accredited college or university or the commission may accept proof of related education and at least five years of experience immediately preceding license application in business activities equivalent to or closely related to real estate transactions;

(3) For a property manager's license, completion of thirty hours of classroom instruction in property management principles and practices or evidence submitted to the department of a Juris Doctor, Bachelor of Laws degree, or a baccalaureate degree with a major in real estate from an accredited college or university.

(B) As a condition of licensure, an applicant shall submit to an examination which must be conducted by the department or a designated test provider at a time and place specified by the department.

The applicant must receive a passing grade on the examination, in accordance with a cut-score determination established by the department.

An applicant who fails an examination may be reexamined within the six-month period following initial examination. If an applicant passes one part of a two-part examination and fails the other, the applicant may be reexamined on the failed portion within the succeeding six-month period.

An applicant who passes the examination must apply for a license within one year, or the applicant must reapply for and retake the examination.

An individual who, at the time of application, holds a real estate license in another state or jurisdiction or whose real estate license in another state or jurisdiction expired not more than six months before application is required to pass only the state portion of the examination to qualify for licensure.

The department or test provider is authorized to collect and retain reasonable examination fees. An applicant for an examination to be conducted by a test provider shall pay the fee directly to the test provider.
