What to expect when working with a real estate agent

Real estate agents represent either the buyer or the seller in a transaction, though some agents work with both parties at different times. If you are buying, an agent helps you search for properties, schedule showings, understand neighborhoods, and negotiate offers. If you are selling, an agent typically lists your property, markets it to other agents and the public, shows it to potential buyers, and negotiates on your behalf.

Agents are licensed professionals in South Carolina and must follow state real estate laws and ethical standards. They earn commission on completed sales, usually paid by the seller's side of the transaction. Before working with any agent, you can ask about their experience in your specific market, their approach to pricing or marketing, and how they communicate with clients.

Questions to ask before choosing an agent

When you first speak with Greco & Wicks Group or any agent, ask how long they have worked in your local market and what types of transactions they handle most often. An agent with deep knowledge of your neighborhood can give you realistic pricing and market timing. Ask also whether they represent buyers, sellers, or both, and whether they have experience with your specific situation—first-time buyer, investment property, relocation, or other circumstances.

It is reasonable to ask about their communication style and availability. Some agents prefer phone calls, others email or text. Some are available evenings and weekends, others work standard business hours. Clarify how often they will update you and how quickly they typically respond to questions. You can also ask for references from past clients, though not all agents will provide them.

Understanding real estate commissions and costs

In most South Carolina residential transactions, the seller pays commission to both the seller's agent and the buyer's agent. The total commission is negotiable but often ranges depending on the market and the property type. This means a buyer typically does not pay the agent directly—the commission comes from the sale proceeds. However, buyers may have other costs, such as inspection fees, appraisal fees, or closing costs, which vary by loan type and transaction details.

Sellers should understand that commission reduces their net proceeds from the sale. It is worth discussing the commission structure with your agent before listing, as rates are not set by law and can be negotiated. Ask your agent to explain all costs you might encounter so there are no surprises at closing.

How to prepare for buying or selling

If you are buying, gather information about your financial situation: how much you can put down, what your credit looks like, and whether you are pre-approved for a mortgage. Having a pre-approval letter from a lender shows sellers you are a serious buyer and speeds up offers. Know what you are looking for in a home—location, size, price range, features—so your agent can narrow the search efficiently.

If you are selling, prepare your home for listing by addressing obvious repairs, decluttering, and understanding your home's current market value. Your agent can recommend a professional home inspection or appraisal to establish realistic pricing. Gather documents like the deed, property survey, and any recent improvements or repairs, as these help market the property and answer buyer questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if an agent is licensed in South Carolina?

South Carolina real estate agents must hold a license issued by the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (SCDHEC). You can verify an agent's license status on the SCDHEC website by searching their name. Carolina One agents are licensed, and you can confirm individual agent credentials through the brokerage or the state licensing board.

Can I work with multiple agents at the same time?

You can speak with multiple agents, but most will ask you to sign an agreement before they show you homes or represent you formally. This agreement typically gives one agent the right to represent you for a set period. Read any agreement carefully and ask questions about exclusivity and what happens if you want to switch agents.

What if I am relocating to South Carolina from out of state?

Agents who work with relocating buyers often have experience with out-of-state financing, timing challenges, and neighborhood research. When you contact Greco & Wicks Group or another team, mention that you are relocating and ask whether they have handled similar moves. They may offer virtual tours, video calls, or other tools to help you search from a distance.

How long does it usually take to sell a home in South Carolina?

The time varies by market, season, price range, and property condition. Some homes sell in weeks, others take months. Your agent can tell you the average days on market for your specific neighborhood and price range, which gives you a realistic timeline. Pricing competitively and keeping the home in good showing condition typically speeds up the process.

What is the difference between a real estate agent and a real estate attorney?

A real estate agent helps you buy or sell property and negotiates on your behalf. A real estate attorney reviews contracts, handles closing documents, and provides legal advice. In South Carolina, attorneys are often involved in closings. You can work with both—your agent handles the transaction, and an attorney ensures the legal side is sound.
