How to contact Dan Hamilton & Co.

The most direct way to reach Dan Hamilton & Co. is through Keller Williams Greenville Upstate's main office. You can call the brokerage's general line or visit their office in person to ask for the team. The brokerage maintains a website where you can search for agent contact information and current listings.

When you contact them, be ready to describe what you're looking for—whether you're buying, selling, or managing a rental property. This helps the team understand your situation and whether they're the right fit for your needs. Many agents also maintain individual websites or social media pages where you can learn more about their background and recent transactions.

What services the team typically offers

Dan Hamilton & Co. can represent you as a buyer, helping you search for properties that match your budget and needs, negotiate offers, and navigate the inspection and closing process. If you're selling, they can list your property, market it to potential buyers, and guide you through pricing and negotiation.

For investors or landlords, the team may also offer property management services—handling tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and lease enforcement. Not every agent or team offers all these services, so it's worth asking specifically about what they provide.

Like all Keller Williams agents, they have access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which shows all properties currently for sale in the area. They can also pull market data on recent sales, average prices by neighborhood, and how long homes typically stay on the market in your area of interest.

Understanding Keller Williams' structure and how it affects your transaction

Keller Williams operates differently from some other brokerages. Agents and teams are independent contractors who pay fees to the brokerage in exchange for access to systems, training, and support. This means Dan Hamilton & Co. has some autonomy in how they run their business while still being part of a larger organization.

When you work with them, you're working with the individual team, but they're backed by Keller Williams' technology, compliance systems, and broker oversight. The brokerage handles licensing, legal compliance, and dispute resolution. Understanding this structure can matter if you have questions about how a transaction is being handled or need to escalate a concern.

What to ask when you first contact them

Before committing to work with Dan Hamilton & Co., it's reasonable to ask about their experience in your specific situation. If you're a first-time buyer, ask whether they work frequently with first-time buyers and what that process looks like. If you're selling, ask how they market properties and what their average days-on-market are compared to the broader Greenville market.

You can also ask about their commission structure, which is negotiable and varies by agent and situation. Ask whether they represent both buyers and sellers (many do), and if so, whether they can represent you if you're buying a property they're also listing—this creates a potential conflict of interest that should be disclosed and discussed upfront.

It's also fair to ask for references from past clients or to look up recent transactions they've completed through public records. This gives you a sense of the types of properties they handle and their track record in the market.

How real estate transactions work in South Carolina

South Carolina requires all real estate agents to be licensed through the South Carolina Real Estate Commission. Keller Williams Greenville Upstate and all its agents must comply with state licensing rules, which cover how they handle client money, disclose conflicts of interest, and represent your interests.

In South Carolina, the seller typically pays the real estate commission, which is split between the seller's agent and the buyer's agent. This is negotiable, but it's the standard arrangement. When you buy, you generally don't pay the agent directly—the seller's proceeds cover both commissions. When you sell, the commission comes out of your sale price.

Transactions typically take 30 to 45 days from offer to closing, though this varies. During that time, you'll have a home inspection period, appraisal, title search, and final walkthrough. Your agent should walk you through each step and explain what's happening and why.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if Dan Hamilton & Co. is right for me?

The best way is to have an initial conversation with them about your situation. Ask about their experience with properties like yours, their marketing approach if you're selling, or their buyer representation process if you're buying. Trust and communication matter more than anything else in a real estate transaction, so pay attention to whether they listen to what you want and answer your questions clearly.

What if I'm working with another agent and see a property listed by Dan Hamilton & Co.?

You can still make an offer on it. Your agent represents you in the negotiation, and Dan Hamilton & Co. represents the seller. Both agents work together to facilitate the sale. Your agent should not discourage you from looking at properties based on who's listing them.

Do I have to use a real estate agent to buy or sell in South Carolina?

No, you can buy or sell without an agent, though most people use one because agents know the market, handle negotiations, and manage the paperwork. If you do work without an agent, you'll need to understand South Carolina real estate law and handle all communication and offers yourself.

What happens if there's a problem during the transaction?

Your agent should work to resolve it first. If that doesn't work, Keller Williams has a broker who oversees compliance and disputes. You can also file a complaint with the South Carolina Real Estate Commission if you believe an agent violated licensing rules.

Can I negotiate the real estate commission?

Yes. Commission rates are not set by law or the brokerage—they're negotiable between you and the agent. It's worth discussing this upfront before you sign any agreement to work with Dan Hamilton & Co.
