Home Pros is a veteran-owned cash home buyer active along the Grand Strand, from the golf-course subdivisions west of the Waterway to the older beach cottages a few blocks off the sand. We are not a national franchise that resells your lead to a local investor; our own acquisitions team handles your file from the first call through the closing table, using the same offer formula explained below for every seller, hurricane damage and short-term rental turnover included.
How It Works
Three steps, from your first call to cash in hand.
1. Tell Us About Your House
- Share the address and a few basic details
- No walkthrough required to get started
- Takes about two minutes
2. Get Your Cash Offer
- Fair, no-obligation offer within 24 hours
- Based on comparable sales and condition
- No appraisal contingency to wait on
3. Pick Your Closing Date
- Close in as little as 7 days
- Or choose a date that works, typically 14 to 30 days
- We cover the closing attorney's fee
How We Calculate Your Offer
The same formula every time, no lowball tactics.
We start with your home's likely after-repair value (ARV), meaning what it would sell for once it is fully updated. We subtract the estimated cost of repairs, then subtract a margin that covers our holding costs, the closing attorney's fee, and the risk of reselling in a slower-moving coastal market. What is left is your cash offer.
Worked example: moderate repairs
Myrtle Beach's citywide median home value is $388,800, per Census-derived estimates published by Data USA. For a typical 3-bedroom home near that value needing moderate repairs (roof, HVAC, flooring worn by rental turnover): ARV around $390,000, minus $48,000 in estimated repairs, minus $52,000 in margin, holding, and closing costs, equals a cash offer near $290,000.
Worked example: light repairs
For a similar home that only needs cosmetic work (paint, fixtures, landscaping): ARV around $390,000, minus $12,000 in estimated repairs, minus $38,000 in margin, holding, and closing costs, equals a cash offer near $340,000. A home with hurricane, flood, or foundation damage nets a lower offer than either example, since our repair estimate and holding time both go up.
What Closing Day Looks Like in Myrtle Beach
The same attorney-supervised process either way, just faster and cheaper with a cash buyer.
After you accept our written offer, we open the file with a South Carolina closing attorney, order a title search, and set a closing date. Because there is no buyer mortgage to underwrite, that title search is usually the only thing standing between signing and closing. You do not need to be in Myrtle Beach to close; South Carolina closing attorneys routinely handle mail-away closings for out-of-state heirs, snowbird owners, and landlords who bought a rental sight-unseen. On closing day, the attorney disburses funds under South Carolina's closing rules, pays off any existing mortgage, HOA liens, or tax judgments directly out of the proceeds, and wires you the balance the same day the deed records.

Selling a House in Myrtle Beach: What's Different Here
The neighborhoods we buy in
We buy throughout Myrtle Beach, from the walkable Market Common district built on the old Air Force base footprint, to the beachside lots of Arcadian Shores on the north end, to the quieter, inland streets of Socastee and Forestbrook west of Highway 501. We also buy investment and second-home properties along the Withers Preserve corridor and the surrounding Grand Strand towns of Conway, Surfside Beach, and North Myrtle Beach.
Horry County's deed recording fee
Every deed recorded in South Carolina, Horry County included, is subject to the state's Deed Recording Fee under S.C. Code Section 12-24-10: $1.85 for every $500 of the property's value (or fraction of $500), split between a $1.30 state portion and a $0.55 county portion. On a $390,000 sale, that works out to roughly $1,443. In a traditional sale this is typically a seller-side closing cost; when you sell to Home Pros, it comes out of our side of the ledger.
Horry County's foreclosure process and timeline
South Carolina is a judicial foreclosure state, so a lender has to file suit and win a court order before your home can be sold. In Horry County that case moves to the Master-in-Equity, currently Judge Alan D. Clemmons, once the circuit court confirms the default. From filing to public sale, the process typically runs about 150 days, and the notice of sale has to be posted in three public places and published in a local newspaper once a week for three consecutive weeks before the sale date (S.C. Code Sections 15-39-650 and 15-39-660). That window gives homeowners real time to sell and keep whatever equity is left, instead of losing it at the courthouse steps.
Probate just got easier for small estates
If you inherited a Myrtle Beach house and the entire probate estate, not just the house, is worth $45,000 or less, South Carolina now lets an heir collect it by affidavit 30 days after the death, without opening a full probate case (S.C. Code Section 62-3-1201). That threshold was raised from $25,000 by Act No. 26 (H.3472), effective May 8, 2025, so more small estates now qualify than did a year ago. Most inherited houses are still worth more than that on their own, so in practice most heirs need the Horry County Probate Court to appoint a personal representative before a sale can close, but we can put an offer in writing while that process is underway.
Property taxes and this quarter's deadline
Horry County mails annual property tax bills each fall and payment is due January 15 to avoid penalty; a payment postmarked after that date picks up an automatic 3% penalty, and an additional 7% (10% total) if it is still unpaid by February 1, per the Horry County Treasurer's Office. If you are heading into the fall still paying insurance and taxes on a house you cannot keep, that January 15 date, and the tail end of Atlantic hurricane season on November 30, are both worth planning around whether you sell to us or someone else.
This quarter: hurricane season and the shoulder-season slowdown
As of September 2026, the Grand Strand is still inside the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs through November 30, and Horry County's coastal evacuation zone map affects both insurance premiums and how quickly a buyer's lender will approve financing on a listed property near the water. Every fall, the Myrtle Beach resale market also slows as tourist traffic and short-term rental income taper off, which is exactly when listed homes tend to sit longer than the 85-day median days-on-market that local market trackers report for this stretch of coast. For an owner carrying insurance, HOA dues, and a mortgage on a vacant or storm-exposed property, a cash sale that does not depend on a buyer securing flood insurance or a windstorm inspection can close well before winter regardless of what the storm season does.
South Carolina requires an attorney at every closing
South Carolina is one of the states where a residential closing, cash or financed, has to be supervised by a licensed attorney; the South Carolina Supreme Court has held that closing a sale without one is the unauthorized practice of law. That attorney has to be meaningfully involved in the title search, document preparation, closing, and disbursement, and has to attend the closing itself. What changes when you sell to Home Pros is who pays the fee (we do) and how much paperwork lands on you first, since there is no listing agreement, no buyer financing contingency, and no repair addendum to negotiate through counsel.
Situations We Buy In
Whatever is going on with the property or your timeline, we can usually make it work.
Inherited a house
Skip the repairs, cleanout, and showings on a beach property you did not plan to keep, and split proceeds with co-heirs without one of you carrying the work. Read our inherited-house guide.
Facing foreclosure
We can often make an offer and close before the Horry County Master-in-Equity sale date, which stops the foreclosure and can protect whatever equity you have left. See how selling can stop foreclosure.
Behind on property taxes
We factor unpaid Horry County taxes and penalties into your offer and pay them out of closing, so you are not writing a check before you can sell.
Tenants or short-term rental bookings
We buy occupied rentals as-is, long-term leases and vacation-rental calendars included; no eviction or lease buyout required first. Learn more about selling with tenants.
Going through divorce
A fast, neutral cash sale can simplify splitting proceeds on a second home or rental neither party wants to manage during the split. See our divorce-sale guide.
Storm or flood damage
Wind, roof, or standing-water damage from a Grand Strand storm season; we buy it as-is and handle repairs after closing, no insurance claim required first.
Vacant or hard to manage from out of state
Stop paying insurance, HOA dues, and lawn care on a second home or rental sitting empty, especially if you live outside the Myrtle Beach area.
Downsizing or relocating
Set your own closing date, whether that is 7 days out or 60, and skip months of showings competing with new construction inventory.
Myrtle Beach Seller FAQ
Do I need an attorney to sell my house in Myrtle Beach?
Yes. South Carolina requires a licensed attorney to supervise every residential closing in the state, cash or financed, so a closing attorney still handles your title search, deed, and disbursement when you sell to us. When you sell to Home Pros, we pay that attorney's fee. When you list with an agent, that cost is usually yours.
My relative died without a will. Can I sell the Myrtle Beach house without going through full probate?
Often, yes, and the rule got easier in 2025. South Carolina now lets heirs collect a decedent's property by affidavit, without appointing a personal representative, when the entire probate estate is worth $45,000 or less and at least 30 days have passed since the death (S.C. Code Section 62-3-1201, as raised from $25,000 by Act No. 26, effective May 8, 2025). Above that threshold, or if the estate is more complicated, the Horry County Probate Court will need to appoint a personal representative first. Either way, we can usually put an offer in writing while probate is still open.
How does foreclosure work in Horry County, and can Home Pros help before the sale date?
South Carolina uses judicial foreclosure, so a lender has to sue and get a court order first. In Horry County, that case is assigned to the Master-in-Equity court once the circuit court confirms the default, and the process typically runs about 150 days from filing to the public sale. Before the sale, notice has to be posted in three public places and published in a local newspaper once a week for three consecutive weeks (S.C. Code Sections 15-39-650 and 15-39-660). We can often make a cash offer and close before that sale date, which stops the foreclosure and can protect any equity you have left.
Do I have to fill out South Carolina's disclosure form if I sell my house as-is?
Usually, yes. Selling as-is does not exempt you from South Carolina's Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act (S.C. Code Title 27, Chapter 50); you still have to disclose known defects to a buyer. The law carves out a few exemptions, including foreclosure sales and sales handled as part of estate administration. When you sell to Home Pros, we buy knowing the condition going in, so there is no repair-credit fight after an inspection.
Do you buy hurricane- or flood-damaged homes near the beach?
Yes. Myrtle Beach sits in a coastal evacuation zone, and we regularly buy homes with wind, flood, or standing-water damage from tropical storms. We factor the repair cost into our offer, so you do not have to file an insurance claim or spend anything upfront before you sell.
What if I am behind on my mortgage payments?
Contact us as soon as you can. We can often make an offer and close before your lender files, or before the Master-in-Equity sale date if a foreclosure case is already underway, which can stop the process and protect any equity you have.
How quickly do I actually get paid after closing?
Once your closing attorney disburses funds, you receive a wire the same day. There is no multi-week wait for a buyer's lender to fund a loan like there is in a traditional financed sale.
What Myrtle Beach neighborhoods do you buy in?
We buy throughout Myrtle Beach, including the Market Common area, Arcadian Shores, Socastee, Forestbrook, and the Withers Preserve corridor, plus the surrounding Grand Strand towns of Conway, Surfside Beach, and North Myrtle Beach.
Do you buy houses that still have tenants living in them?
Yes, including seasonal or short-term rental properties and long-term leases with tenants who have stopped paying. You do not need to evict anyone or wait for a lease to end before you get an offer.
Is there really no cost to me at closing?
Correct. We pay the closing attorney's fee and standard closing costs, and there is no real estate commission because no agent is involved. The number in your purchase agreement is what you walk away with, minus anything you already owe on the property.
How do you calculate my cash offer?
We start with the home's likely after-repair value based on recent comparable sales, subtract the estimated cost of repairs, and subtract a margin that covers our holding costs, closing costs, and resale risk. What is left is your offer, and we walk through the math with you before you sign anything.
Is Home Pros a licensed, legitimate company?
Yes. Home Pros is the trade name of Balint Holdings, LLC, a veteran-owned, BBB accredited company with a 4.9-star Google rating from 98 reviews. You can verify our BBB profile and Google reviews before you ever sign a contract.
