Who the Score Team at United Real Estate Is and What They Do

The Score Team handles residential real estate sales across South Carolina

The Score Team is a group of real estate agents working under the United Real Estate brand in South Carolina. They focus on buying and selling residential properties—houses, townhomes, and condos—rather than commercial or investment real estate. The team operates in multiple markets across the state and works with both buyers looking for a home and sellers preparing to list.

United Real Estate itself is a national brokerage that franchises its brand to local teams. The Score Team operates as one of those franchised groups, meaning they use United's systems, training, and brand standards while working independently in their local market. This structure lets them combine national resources with knowledge of South Carolina's specific neighborhoods, market conditions, and local regulations.

Key Takeaways

• The Score Team sells residential properties in South Carolina under the United Real Estate brand and works with both buyers and sellers.
• They use United Real Estate's technology platform and training but operate as a local, independent team within the franchise system.
• You can contact the Score Team directly through United Real Estate's website or by phone to discuss buying or selling a home.
• Like all real estate agents in South Carolina, Score Team members must hold a current license from the South Carolina Real Estate Commission.
• Real estate commissions are negotiable and typically paid by the seller, though this varies by transaction and should be discussed upfront.

What the Score Team does for home buyers

If you are buying a home, the Score Team can help you search for properties that match your needs, arrange showings, and guide you through the offer process. They have access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which shows nearly all homes for sale in their market area. This means they can show you listings from other agents' clients, not just properties they are selling directly.

Agents on the Score Team can also explain local market conditions—whether prices are rising or falling, how long homes typically stay on the market, and what similar homes in a neighborhood have sold for recently. They can refer you to lenders, inspectors, and title companies, though you are not required to use anyone they recommend. The buyer's agent typically does not charge you a fee directly; instead, the seller's agent and buyer's agent split a commission that comes from the seller's proceeds.

What the Score Team does for home sellers

For sellers, the Score Team can help you list your home on the MLS, which exposes it to all agents and buyers in the market. They typically handle marketing—photography, written descriptions, online listings—and schedule showings with other agents. They can advise on pricing based on recent sales of comparable homes and current market demand.

The Score Team also manages the paperwork involved in selling: purchase agreements, disclosures required by South Carolina law, and coordination with the title company and lender. They attend the closing and make sure funds transfer correctly. The commission for selling your home is negotiable and should be discussed and agreed to in writing before you list.

How to contact the Score Team

You can reach the Score Team through the United Real Estate website by searching for their office location or team name. Most United Real Estate franchises have a main phone number and email listed on their site. You can also ask for a specific agent if you have been referred to one by name.

When you contact them, be ready to describe what you are looking for—whether you want to buy or sell, what type of property, and what area of South Carolina interests you. They can then connect you with an agent who works in that market and has availability.

Licensing and regulation in South Carolina

All real estate agents in South Carolina, including those on the Score Team, must hold a current license issued by the South Carolina Real Estate Commission. The commission oversees licensing, handles consumer complaints, and enforces the state's real estate laws. You can verify an agent's license status on the commission's website.

South Carolina law requires agents to disclose certain information to buyers and sellers—for example, whether the agent represents the buyer, the seller, or both parties in a transaction. Agents must also follow fair housing laws, which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status.

Commission structure and negotiation

Real estate commissions in South Carolina are not set by law or by United Real Estate—they are negotiated between the agent and the client. Commission rates vary widely depending on the market, the property type, and the agent's experience. Typical rates range, but this is not a fixed standard, and you should discuss the exact percentage or flat fee upfront before signing a listing agreement or buyer's agreement.

For sellers, the commission is usually paid from the sale proceeds at closing and is split between the seller's agent and the buyer's agent. For buyers, you typically do not pay a commission directly; the buyer's agent receives their share from the seller's proceeds. However, this is negotiable, and in some transactions the buyer may agree to pay part or all of the buyer's agent commission.

What to expect when working with a real estate agent

When you hire an agent to sell your home, you sign a listing agreement that specifies the commission rate, the length of time the agent will represent you (usually 90 days or six months), and what services they will provide. The agent then lists your home on the MLS, and other agents can show it to their buyers. You retain the right to sell the home yourself or to work with another agent after the agreement expires.

When you work with an agent to buy a home, you may sign a buyer's agreement that says the agent represents you and will help you search for and purchase a property. This agreement typically lasts for a set period and may include a clause about commission if you purchase a home. Read any agreement carefully before signing, and ask questions about anything you do not understand.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a real estate agent is licensed in South Carolina?

Visit the South Carolina Real Estate Commission website and use their license lookup tool. Enter the agent's name or license number, and you will see their current license status, any disciplinary history, and their brokerage affiliation. If an agent is not listed or their license is inactive, do not work with them.

Can I negotiate the real estate commission?

Yes. Commission rates are not set by law and are negotiable in every transaction. Discuss the commission percentage or flat fee with your agent before you sign any agreement. Different agents and brokerages may offer different rates, so you can shop around.

What if I want to buy a home listed by the Score Team?

You can work with any buyer's agent you choose, including one from the Score Team or from a different brokerage. If you use a different agent, that agent will coordinate with the Score Team's listing agent. If you work with the Score Team, one agent represents the seller and another represents you as the buyer.

What happens if I am unhappy with my agent?

If you signed a listing or buyer's agreement, review the terms to see how long it lasts and whether there is an early termination clause. You can also file a complaint with the South Carolina Real Estate Commission if you believe the agent violated state law or the commission's code of conduct.
