South Carolina Relocation & Referral Promotion

Are you considering buying real estate in South Carolina? I work with an extensive group of REALTORS®, real estate agents, and relocation experts in South Carolina in a kind of referral network. Using this referral system ensures my clients receive first rate service, even when their real estate needs extend beyond my Multiple Listing coverage area. I have very tough standards and high criteria that must be met by any South Carolinian agent or broker wishing to receive a referral from me. And, being a real estate professional and member of the National Association of REALTORS®, I can identify the first-class from the mediocre. I’ll interview potential agents, investigate their current productivity and asses their past performance as a Buyer’s Agent.

Every move or relocation inherently comes with a myriad of concerns to cope with. Let me provide the valuable service of seeking out and initiating contact with a highly qualified South Carolinian real estate professional that’s eager to assist you.

Naturally, the first question that arises is, “How much is this valuable service going to cost me?” Now, here’s where a good deal get’s better;

$ When I Give a Referral, You Get Paid $

Just for allowing me to put you in touch with a skilled South Carolinian real estate professional, I’LL PAY YOU! It’s commonplace, when applicable, for real estate agents to share a portion of their Buyer’s Agent Commission with the referring agent. It’s a show of appreciation and is aptly known as a referral fee.

I’LL GIVE 50% OF THE REFERRAL FEE TO YOU!

And remember, as a home buyer it costs you absolutely nothing for top notch professional representation. All the real estate commissions are paid by the seller, who has already negotiated and entered into a contractual agreement with their South Carolinian Listing Agent prior to their house being listed on the market.

Prime importance: in order to get paid for your next move or South Carolina property purchase, all I ask that you CONTACT ME FIRST. That’s the only way I can seek out a qualified South Carolinian agent and arrange the introductions.

South Carolina Real Estate

South Carolina is a state in the Southeastern region of the United States. The Province of South Carolina was one of the 13 colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. It was the first state to secede from the Union to found the Confederate States of America. The state is named after King Charles II of England, as Carolus is Latin for Charles. According to 2005 estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau, the state’s population stands at 4,321,249.

South Carolina is bounded to the north by North Carolina; to the south and west by Georgia, located across the Savannah River; and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean.

South Carolina is composed of four geographic areas, whose boundaries roughly parallel the northeast/southwest Atlantic coastline. The lower part of the state is the Coastal Plain, also known as the Lowcountry, which is nearly flat and composed entirely of recent sediments such as sand, silt, and clay. Areas with better drainage make excellent farmland, though some land is swampy. The coastline contains many salt marshes and estuaries, as well as natural ports such as Georgetown and Charleston. An unusual feature of the coastal plain is a large number of Carolina bays, the origins of which are uncertain, though one prominent theory suggests that they were created by a meteor shower. The bays tend to be oval, lining up in a northwest to southeast orientation.

The Piedmont (Upstate) region contains the roots of an ancient, eroded mountain chain. It tends to be hilly, with thin, stony clay soils, and contains few areas suitable for farming. Much of the Piedmont was once farmed, with little success, and is now reforested. At the edge of the Piedmont is the fall line, where rivers drop to the coastal plain. The fall line was an important early source of water power, and mills built to harness this resource encouraged the growth of several cities, including the capital, Columbia. The larger rivers are navigable up to the fall line, providing a trade route for mill towns.

The upper part of the Piedmont is also known as the Foothills. The Cherokee Parkway is a scenic driving route through this area.This is where Table Rock State Park is located.

Highest in elevation is the Upstate, containing an escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which continue into North Carolina and Georgia, as part of the southern Appalachian chain. Sassafras Mountain, South Carolina's highest point at 3,560 feet (1,085 m) is located in this area. Also located in the Upcountry is Table Rock State Park and Caesar’s Head State Park. The Chattooga River, located on the border between South Carolina and Georgia, is a favorite whitewater rafting destination.

Areas under the management of the National Park Service include:

Charles Pinckney National Historic Site at Mt. Pleasant
Congaree National Park in Hopkins
Cowpens National Battlefield near Chesnee
Fort Moultrie National Monument at Sullivan’s Island
Fort Sumter National Monument in Charleston Harbor
Kings Mountain National Military Park at Blacksburg
Ninety Six National Historic Site in Ninety Six
Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail

South Carolina has a humid subtropical climate, although high elevation areas in the “Upstate” area have less subtropical characteristics than areas on the Atlantic coastline. In the summer, South Carolina is hot and humid with daytime temperatures averaging around 90 °F in most of the state and overnight lows over 70 °F on the coast and close to 70 °F further inland. Winter temperatures are much less uniform in South Carolina. Coastal areas of the state have very mild winters with high temperatures approaching an average of 60 °F and an overnight low of over 40 °F. Further inland in the higher country, the average January overnight low can be below freezing. While precipitation is abundant the entire year in almost the entire state, near the coast tends to have a slightly wetter summer, while inland March tends to be the wettest month.

Snowfall in South Carolina is not very excessive with coastal areas receiving less than an inch on average. It isn't entirely uncommon for the coast to receive no recordable snowfall in a given year, although it usually receives at least a small dusting of snow annually. Although the coastal area known as the Low Country has not had any snow stick on the ground since 1989 as of Jan ’07. The interior receives a little more snow, although nowhere in the state averages more than 6 inches a year.

The state is prone to tropical cyclones and it is a yearly concern during hurricane season which is from June-November, although the peak time of vulnerability for the southeast Atlantic coast is from late August to October when the Cape Verde hurricane season lasts. South Carolina averages around 50 days of thunderstorm activity a year, which is less than some of the states further south and is slightly less vulnerable to tornadoes than the states which border on the Gulf of Mexico. Still, some notable tornadoes have struck South Carolina and the state averages around 14 tornadoes annually.
