How RE/MAX Summit operates in South Carolina

RE/MAX is a national real estate franchise, and RE/MAX Summit is one of the company's regional operations. Agents working under the RE/MAX Summit banner use the company's technology, marketing tools, and training systems, but operate as independent contractors. This structure means Dunlap handles his own client relationships while drawing on RE/MAX's resources for listings, market data, and transaction support.

RE/MAX agents typically list properties on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which is how most homes for sale in South Carolina reach the market. When you work with Dunlap, your property would be entered into the MLS system, making it visible to other agents and their buyers across the region. Similarly, if you are buying, Dunlap can show you homes listed by any agent on the MLS, not just RE/MAX properties.

What to expect when working with a real estate agent

If you hire an agent like Dunlap to sell your home, the agent typically lists the property, markets it to other agents and the public, schedules showings, and negotiates offers on your behalf. You sign a listing agreement that specifies how long the agent will represent you and what commission they earn (usually a percentage of the sale price, paid by the seller). The agent is legally required to act in your best interest and disclose any conflicts of interest.

If you are buying a home, an agent represents you by showing you properties that match your needs, helping you understand the local market, and negotiating the purchase price and terms. Buyer's agents are typically paid by the seller's agent out of the commission, so you do not pay the buyer's agent directly. Before working with any agent, you can ask about their experience in your neighborhood, how they price homes, and what marketing they use.

Verifying an agent's license and background

All real estate agents in South Carolina must hold a license issued by the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (SCDHEC). You can verify that Tyler Dunlap holds a current, active license by searching the SCDHEC database on their website. This search is free and takes a few minutes—it shows whether the license is active, any disciplinary history, and the agent's brokerage affiliation.

Checking the license is a straightforward step that protects you. It confirms the agent is legally authorized to represent you in a transaction and has met South Carolina's training and testing requirements. If you have questions about an agent's background or want to file a complaint, SCDHEC handles licensing and discipline for real estate professionals in the state.

Questions to ask before hiring an agent

Before you commit to working with Dunlap or any agent, ask about their experience in your specific neighborhood or price range. Some agents specialize in certain areas or property types—waterfront homes, investment properties, first-time buyer markets—and that focus can matter. Ask how long they have been selling real estate, how many homes they sold in the past year, and whether they have sold homes similar to yours.

You can also ask about their marketing strategy. Will your home be photographed professionally? Listed on social media? Shown to other agents at a broker's open house? What is their pricing strategy—how do they decide what price to list at? Do they use a comparative market analysis (CMA) to show you what similar homes sold for recently? These details affect how quickly your home sells and at what price.

Understanding commissions and contracts

Real estate commissions in South Carolina are negotiable—there is no set rate. Most agents charge between 5 and 6 percent of the sale price, split between the seller's agent and the buyer's agent, but you can discuss this with any agent before signing. The commission is paid from the sale proceeds, so you do not write a separate check; it comes out of what you receive when you sell.

When you list a home, you sign a listing agreement that specifies the commission rate, how long the agent will represent you (often 90 days or 6 months), and what happens if you sell the home yourself or to someone the agent did not bring. Read this contract carefully and ask questions about any terms you do not understand. You are not locked in forever—if you are unhappy with an agent's performance, you can discuss ending the agreement early, though there may be terms about that in your contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I contact Tyler Dunlap at RE/MAX Summit?

Contact RE/MAX Summit directly through their office phone number or website and ask to speak with Tyler Dunlap or request his contact information. RE/MAX Summit's local office can tell you whether Dunlap is available for new clients and can schedule a consultation if you want to discuss buying or selling a home.

Can I work with Tyler Dunlap if I am buying a home?

Yes. Dunlap can represent you as a buyer's agent, showing you homes on the market and negotiating on your behalf. As a buyer, you typically do not pay the agent directly—the seller's agent commission is split with the buyer's agent. Before you start, discuss Dunlap's experience in the neighborhoods where you want to buy.

What if I want to sell my home but am not sure about the price?

Ask Dunlap or any agent to prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA). This report shows what similar homes in your area sold for recently, how long they stayed on the market, and what condition they were in. A CMA helps you understand what your home is worth and what price makes sense in your local market.

Is RE/MAX different from other real estate companies?

RE/MAX is a franchise network, so agents work under the RE/MAX brand and use their systems, but operate independently. Other South Carolina agents work for traditional brokerages or discount brokerages. The main difference is the tools and support available to the agent, not necessarily the quality of service. Interview agents from different companies to find the right fit for your needs.

What should I do if I have a complaint about an agent?

Contact the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. You can file a complaint through their website or by phone. SCDHEC investigates complaints about licensed real estate professionals and can take disciplinary action if an agent violates state law or ethical rules.
