North Myrtle Beach
THE EDGEWATER GROUP
When teenagers flocked to NMB in the 60s to visit the great beach clubs and shag the night away, they began a tradition that happens several times a year - the S.O.S. The Society of Stranders isn’t just a society which includes shag clubs all along the east coast, but is also what we call the pilgrimages to North Myrtle Beach by thousands looking to dance, relax, see old friends, reminisce, and create new memories.
ESTABLISHED IN 2009 • OVER 750+ PROPERTIES SOLD • OVER $195M IN SALES
LIST WITH EDGEWATER
Regardless of the market, any property can sell in the first 30 days because that is when READY BUYERS have rejected current properties on the market and are looking for something to buy now. It is IMPORTANT to make sure the property is in its best condition and price. Rate your home on a scale of 1-10 on these factors: Motivation, Accessibility, Price vs. Market, Condition/External Factors. All will determine how quickly your home sells.
The Edgewater Group receives significant lead generation through AnneHitch.com, Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Homesnap.com (affiliated with Homes.com and Google), Adwerx, List Hub, Sand Dollars Magazine, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, e-mail marketing, professional photography, voice over videos, open houses, and postcards. While the statistics show that over 80% now research online when looking to buy or sell a property, we find that print media, too, remains a productive source for us. We believe all marketing is to the benefit of our clients.

Prequalification
Prequalification or Proof of Funds is essential when presenting an offer and our list of trusted lenders can assist on most all situations. Once under contract, you will have the option of conducting a home inspection and a CL-100 (termite/moisture inspection).
We have a list of qualified inspectors who are ready to inspect at any given time. Finally, in South Carolina we use closing attorneys instead of title companies. We will provide you with the names of an assortment of closing attorneys from which to choose and one of their primary jobs will be to conduct the title search and provide the title insurance
Once your loan is complete, we head to the attorney’s office and sign the closing papers! Once the deed is officially recorded, the property is yours!
Occupancy
Most attorneys now will allow Table Funding prior to the actual recording of the deed. If all the paperwork is signed by both buyers and sellers and the buyer’s funds are in the attorney’s escrow account, keys may be given to the buyers and sale proceeds may be given to the seller. Some attorneys do not allow and some party members do not allow so in those instances, keys are not given until the deed is actually recorded. Sometimes that can be later in the day after signing and occasionally the next day.
Taxes
South Carolina has a 7% capital gains tax when you SELL your property if you are not a SC resident. You will be asked before closing to provide that capital gains figure and it will be deducted from your proceeds and paid to the State. You will have federal capital gains consequences as well so it would be wise to seek the advice of your accountant/tax advisor prior to selling.
In South Carolina, we have different tax rates for primary residents vs. second home/investment properties. One must apply for legal residence status (only one property allowed and it must be your permanent residence), meaning you must provide driver’s license, car registration, and tax returns with that address to be approved. There is a 4% assessment on owner occupied homes vs. a 6% assessment on other properties. The millage rate used in the calculation is also different. We are a “point of sale” state so each time a property transfers it can be reassessed. Normal reassessment is every five years.
