For Sellers

Dishin’ Dirt on “Trying to Sell Your Home Without a Real Estate Agent?” with Tracy Roberts

If you are thinking about selling your home without using a real estate agent (also known as For Sale by Owner) then you will want to listen to this Podcast. While Blair Cato strongly recommends that you hire a qualified, licensed real estate agent, we recognize sometimes you may be selling to a family member or friend or you may be the DYI kind of person.

If that is you, this podcast can help you navigate through the weeds of selling your own home. In this special edition of Dishin’ Dirt with Gary Pickren, Tracy Roberts and I discuss the nine steps of selling a home that every homeowner needs to understand. We cover how to price, market, show, and sell your home. We discuss special concerns such as your safety and forms required to be executed such as the South Carolina Residential Condition Disclosure Statement. Spending the time to learn what you need to know in your For Sale by Owner transaction will save you both money and frustration.

“No Representation” in Seller Disclosure

South Carolina Real Estate Commission

Disclosure Statement & Addendum

South Carolina requires a seller of residential property to disclose known defects, damages, and other issues to a potential buyer prior to entering into a contract for sale. While the form is required by law, it is often completed incorrectly or not at all. Sellers often claim an exemption to the law that does not exist.

As a member of the 2013-task force that drafted the current version of the South Carolina Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement form, I have special insight into the construction of the form and can explain why certain provisions are included. Since this form’s inception, however, there remain several misconceptions about the requirement to disclose. Sellers are often given incorrect advice from real estate agents and attorneys. These podcasts and e-book will help guide and educate you about South Carolina disclosure law. It is my sincere hope after you read this guide and listen to the podcasts, you will share this page with others so everyone will understand what a seller must disclose about their residential property.
