We Buy Houses in Mount Pleasant, SC

Charleston County, and Mount Pleasant sits entirely within it. Unlike Summerville, which splits across Dorchester, Berkeley, and Charleston counties, your deed, tax bill, and any foreclosure or probate case for a Mount Pleasant property all run through the same Charleston County offices used by the city of Charleston across the Cooper River.

Yes. South Carolina requires a licensed attorney to supervise every residential closing, cash or financed, so a closing attorney handles your title work and disbursement no matter who buys the house. Home Pros pays that attorney's fee; on a traditional listing, that cost is usually the seller's.

South Carolina foreclosures go through the courts, not a private trustee sale. Charleston County cases, including Mount Pleasant property, are heard by the Charleston County Master-in-Equity, after a notice of sale is advertised once a week for three consecutive weeks under S.C. Code Section 15-39-630. A cash sale that closes before that date stops the process and can protect whatever equity is left.

Not always. If the entire probate estate, not just the house, is worth $45,000 or less, an heir can collect it by affidavit 30 days after the death without a court-appointed personal representative (S.C. Code Section 62-3-1201). That threshold moved up from $25,000 under Act No. 26 of 2025, effective May 8, 2025. Most Mount Pleasant homes are worth well more than $45,000 on their own, so most heirs still need the probate court involved, and we can put a written offer in front of you while that plays out.

Generally no. The Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act (S.C. Code Title 27, Chapter 50) still applies to most as-is sales; it carves out certain estate and foreclosure transfers, not an ordinary as-is listing. Selling to Home Pros removes the friction anyway, since we buy knowing the condition going in and there is no post-inspection repair-credit fight.

Tell us where things stand and we will factor it into your offer. Charleston County real property tax bills are due January 15 without penalty; a payment made January 16 or later adds a 3% penalty, 10% total after February 2, and a full 15% penalty after March 16. We can often close before that gets worse, and any unpaid balance comes straight out of your proceeds at the closing table.

Yes. The Old Village Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and any exterior demolition, construction, or alteration there needs approval from the town's Historic District Preservation Commission before it can happen. We buy Old Village cottages as-is and take on that approval process ourselves after closing, so you never have to bring the exterior into compliance before we can make an offer.

Yes. The town treats any rental of a residential unit for less than 30 consecutive days as a business that requires a short-term rental permit and a business license, and permits are limited and can lapse between renewal cycles. We buy unpermitted or lapsed-permit rental properties as a long-term rental or straight resale, so you are not stuck holding a property that cannot legally be re-listed as a nightly rental.

It's one of the things we factor in, not a reason we will not buy. The Shem Creek and Coleman Boulevard corridor and other tidal-creek-adjacent streets sit in FEMA's Zone AE, while most of inland Mount Pleasant falls in the lower-risk Zone X. We buy homes with flood history, storm damage, or an outdated elevation certificate as-is, so you do not have to resolve an insurance claim or pay for a new survey before you sell to us.

Yes. Wando Welch Terminal, the South Carolina Ports Authority's largest container terminal, handles roughly 80% of the port's annual container volume from its Mount Pleasant site on Long Point Road, and the surrounding neighborhoods turn over often with longshoremen, logistics, and maritime industry households. We buy those homes, tenant-occupied or vacant, on a timeline that works around a shift schedule or a relocation.

Once the closing attorney disburses funds, you get a wire the same day the deed records. There is no lender underwriting a buyer's mortgage in the background, which is the step that most often drags out a financed sale by weeks.

Correct. We cover the closing attorney's fee and standard closing costs, and there is no commission since no agent represents either side of the sale. The number on your purchase agreement is what you keep, minus anything still owed against the property.
