Whether you are a first-time buyer planting roots in Greenville, moving to a coastal retreat in Myrtle Beach, or seeking an investment property in Charleston, our local expertise and in-house control give you a distinct advantage.
We offer a complete suite of financing options, from the most popular government and conventional loans to our own flexible Portfolio Loan Programs for unique situations.
Traditional SC Home Loan Options
Our team is dedicated to finding the lowest competitive rates and best terms for your purchase. We offer and process all the mortgage products you expect from a top lender.
Conventional Loans
The most common option for borrowers with good credit and stable income.
Available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.
FHA Loans (Federal Housing Administration)
An excellent choice for first time buyers or those with lower credit scores.
Requires a lower minimum down payment. These loans are government insured, making them easier to qualify for.
VA Loans
Designed for eligible US Veterans, active service members, and surviving spouses.
These are a phenomenal benefit, often requiring zero down payment and offering highly competitive interest rates without Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
USDA Loans (US Department of Agriculture)
Ideal for homes in eligible rural and suburban areas across South Carolina.
Can offer 100% financing to low- and moderate-income borrowers in qualifying regions.
Jumbo Loans
Financing for properties that exceed the standard conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Essential for financing high value homes in exclusive SC markets like Kiawah Island, Bluffton, or parts of Charleston.
The Flexibility of Niche Portfolio Loans
Sometimes, your financial profile or the property itself doesn't fit the rigid requirements of traditional SC Home Loans. As a Direct Mortgage Lender, we address this need with our in-house Portfolio Loan Programs.
We underwrite and hold these loans ourselves, giving us the flexibility to approve financing based on your complete financial picture, not just a score or a formula.
Portfolio Loans May Be the Perfect Fit If You Are:
- Self Employed or Business Owner with complex income documentation.
- A Real Estate Investor purchasing a non-warrantable property.
- A High-Net-Worth Individual using assets instead of income.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I get pre-approved for my SC Home Loan?
Pre-approval is the most critical first step. It involves our direct lending team reviewing your financial information to determine exactly how much you can borrow. It accomplishes three things:
- It clearly defines your home price range.
- It makes you a stronger buyer in South Carolina's competitive market by showing sellers you are serious and ready to close quickly.
- It significantly speeds up the time it takes to finalize your loan once you find a property.
Is a home inspection required?
While generally not a lender requirement, we strongly advise every buyer to get a full home inspection. It is your opportunity to uncover potential issues before closing. In South Carolina, if major issues are found, the buyer and seller enter a specific "Repair Procedure" negotiation guided by the contract.
Is South Carolina an "Attorney Close" State?
Yes. South Carolina is an "Attorney Close" state. This means a licensed attorney must oversee the closing process, handle legal documents, conduct the title search, and disburse funds. We will work closely with your chosen attorney to ensure a smooth closing.
