What to Know About Re/max Realty Professional The Young Team

Who The Young Team is and what they handle

The Young Team is a real estate group operating under the Re/max Realty Professional banner in South Carolina. They work with buyers and sellers on residential property transactions across the state. The team handles listing homes for sale, representing buyers in purchase negotiations, and managing the paperwork and timelines that come with closing a property deal.

Re/max Realty Professional is a franchise of the larger Re/max network, which means agents operate under Re/max's brand and systems but may work independently or as part of a local team. The Young Team specifically pools their experience and client load under one name, which can mean faster response times and shared knowledge about local markets.

Key Takeaways

• The Young Team operates as a group of agents under Re/max Realty Professional, handling both buyer and seller representation for residential properties in South Carolina.
• Re/max agents typically work on commission based on the sale price, so their payment comes only when a transaction closes.
• You can contact the team directly to discuss your specific property or purchase needs before committing to representation.
• Re/max agents must hold a current South Carolina real estate license and follow state licensing rules and the National Association of Realtors code of ethics if they are members.

How agent representation works in a home sale

When you list a home with The Young Team, one agent becomes your listing agent. That agent photographs the property, writes the listing description, enters it into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)—the database other agents search—and markets it to other agents and the public. They also show the home to potential buyers and their agents, negotiate offers, and coordinate inspections and appraisals.

The listing agent's commission is typically split between the seller's agent (who represents you) and the buyer's agent (who represents the person purchasing). This split is negotiated and disclosed in your listing agreement. You pay nothing out of pocket at closing; the commission comes from the sale proceeds. If your home does not sell within the contract period, you can renegotiate terms or end the agreement.

How agent representation works in a home purchase

If you are buying, The Young Team can represent you as your buyer's agent. They search listings that match your criteria, arrange showings, help you understand the local market and comparable sales prices, and guide you through making an offer. Once an offer is accepted, your agent coordinates the inspection, appraisal, and title search, and attends the closing.

As a buyer's agent, they are paid from the commission the seller's agent receives—you do not write them a separate check. This arrangement is standard in South Carolina residential real estate. Your agent's job is to represent your interests, which means advising you on offer strategy, negotiating terms, and flagging potential problems with the property or the deal.

What to ask before you sign a listing or buyer agreement

Before you commit to working with The Young Team, ask how long the listing agreement lasts (typically 90 days, but this varies). Ask what marketing they will do—whether that includes professional photography, virtual tours, social media, and open houses. Ask how often they will report back to you on showings and interest.

If you are buying, ask how they search for properties (some agents use the MLS directly; others use third-party websites), how quickly they can show you homes, and what their experience is in your target neighborhood or price range. Ask whether they have represented other buyers in your area recently and what the market conditions were like. Get their contact information and preferred communication method in writing.

Ask about any fees beyond commission. Most South Carolina agents do not charge upfront fees, but some may charge for things like professional photography or staging consultations. Confirm this in your agreement before signing.

Understanding the South Carolina real estate licensing requirement

Every agent working for The Young Team must hold a current South Carolina real estate 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. An active license means they have passed the state exam, completed required education, and are in good standing.

Licensed agents must follow South Carolina's real estate laws, which cover disclosures, contract terms, and handling of client money. If an agent is also a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), they agree to follow the NAR Code of Ethics, which includes duties like honesty, fair dealing, and protecting client confidentiality. Not all agents are Realtors, but many are.

How to contact The Young Team and what to bring to a first meeting

You can reach The Young Team through Re/max Realty Professional's website or by phone. When you contact them, have a general sense of what you need: Are you selling a home and want a market analysis? Are you buying and looking for homes in a specific area and price range? Are you relocating to South Carolina and need local market information?

If you are selling, bring your deed, a recent property tax bill, and any information about recent upgrades or repairs. If you are buying, bring a pre-approval letter from a lender (if you have one) and a list of neighborhoods or features you are looking for. The team can work with you even if you do not have these items yet, but having them ready speeds up the conversation.

What happens after you sign an agreement

Once you sign a listing or buyer agreement, the agent enters your information into their system and begins work. For sellers, this means scheduling a professional photographer, writing the listing, and submitting it to the MLS within a few days. For buyers, this means the agent begins searching the MLS and other sources for homes that match your criteria and scheduling showings.

You should expect regular communication—at minimum, weekly updates on showings or new listings, and more frequent contact when an offer is on the table or a closing is approaching. If you do not hear from your agent within the timeframe you agreed on, reach out and ask for a status update. Real estate moves at different speeds depending on the market, but silence is never normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work with The Young Team if I am buying and selling at the same time?

Yes. Many agents handle both transactions for the same client. This can simplify coordination—your agent knows your timeline and your needs for the new home while selling the old one. Ask The Young Team whether they can manage both deals and how they will handle any conflicts of interest, such as timing or financing contingencies.

What if I want to break my listing agreement early?

Listing agreements are contracts, so breaking one early may result in owing the agent a commission even if they did not sell the home. The terms vary by agreement. Before you sign, ask what happens if you want to end the agreement, and get the answer in writing. If you are unhappy with your agent's work, discuss it with them first—many issues can be resolved with a conversation.

Do I have to use The Young Team's preferred lender or title company?

No. South Carolina law prohibits agents from requiring you to use specific vendors. They can recommend lenders, inspectors, or title companies based on experience, but the choice is yours. You can shop around and use whoever you trust. Your agent should support your choice.

What if a home I want to see is listed by The Young Team?

You can still view it. If you are working with a different agent, that agent will coordinate the showing with The Young Team's listing agent. If you are not working with an agent, you can contact The Young Team directly to request a showing. Either way, you will see the home.

How do I know if The Young Team is a good fit for me?

Talk to them about your specific situation and see how they respond. Do they ask questions about your needs, or do they jump into a sales pitch? Do they know the neighborhoods you are interested in? Can they explain the local market clearly? Trust your instinct—real estate is a partnership, and you should feel confident in your agent's knowledge and communication style.
