Where we buy around Greenville
We buy established 1980s homes across the Upstate that are ready for updates.
We buy in Greenville, Anderson, Pickens and Spartanburg counties. Our focus here is the solid 1980s house that one family has owned for decades: well kept, with an older roof, the original kitchen and bathrooms, and an HVAC system near the end of its life.
Greenville and the neighborhoods around it
Inside the city and in the unincorporated neighborhoods around it, we buy brick ranches and two-story homes from the 1980s. Plenty of them still have their first kitchen, bathrooms and windows. Estates for Greenville County owners go through the Greenville County Probate Court.
Mauldin and Simpsonville
Both are Greenville County cities along I-385, and both grew from small towns into busy suburbs during the 1970s and 1980s. That left a lot of subdivision houses that now need a roof, an HVAC system, new flooring or a kitchen redo. We buy them with all of that still on the to-do list.
Taylors
Taylors is an unincorporated community in Greenville County, northeast of the city. It grew quickly in the 1970s and 1980s, so much of it is subdivision homes from those years, and we buy them as they stand.
Greer
Greer sits in two counties, Greenville and Spartanburg. It began as a railroad stop, and today Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and the BMW plant are both in the Greer area. We buy its established subdivision homes from the 1980s on. If the owner lived on the Spartanburg County side, an estate goes through the Spartanburg County Probate Court.
Easley
Easley is about 12 miles west of Greenville. Nearly all of it is in Pickens County, with a small slice in Anderson County. We buy its 1980s subdivision homes, in-town brick ranches and houses on a few acres.
Anderson
We have bought houses in Anderson, the Anderson County seat, just off I-85. It took the name Electric City after a hydroelectric plant on the Rocky River brought power to town in 1895. Brick ranches, 1980s subdivision homes and rentals with tenants all get a written offer, and estates go through the Anderson County Probate Court.
Greenville's 1980s homes
A well-kept 1980s house can still stall on the open market.
Much of Greenville County grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, as Mauldin, Simpsonville and Taylors filled in with subdivisions. Many of those houses still belong to the families who bought them new or soon after. They have been cared for and lived in, and many of them were never updated.
That is where a regular sale gets hard. Buyers compare your house with newer homes that have open kitchens and fresh paint, and their inspector will write up the original roof, an aging HVAC system and old windows. Houses from this era can also have gray polybutylene water lines, which went into homes from the late 1970s into the mid-1990s, and some buyers and insurers back away from them.
A buyer with a bank loan also needs the house to pass an appraisal, and the lender will usually ask for a CL-100 termite and moisture report. Any one of those can send you back to the negotiating table or end the deal.
We pay cash out of our own funds, so no lender has to approve the house. The dated kitchen, the brass fixtures and the older roof can stay just as they are. If your parents bought the house new and it is now part of an estate, we plan the closing around the probate court.
If your house is already updated and you are in no hurry, the open market may net you more, and we will tell you so.
How a sale works in Greenville
How a Greenville house goes from one phone call to closing day.
When the house belongs to an estate and the owner lived in Greenville County, the Greenville County Probate Court handles it. An owner who lived in Anderson, Pickens or Spartanburg County goes through that county's own probate court, and we time the closing to fit the court's schedule.
- Tell us where the house is.
Call (706) 705-7703 or use the form up top. Give us the address, say whether the house is empty or lived in, and point out anything you know is broken or worn out.
- We talk it over with you.
A specialist calls you back with a few questions, and in most cases we set up one quick visit to the house. Photos usually do the job if you live out of town.
- Your offer arrives in writing.
It is based on what needs fixing, how old the roof, HVAC and plumbing are, and recent sales of similar Upstate houses near yours. You are free to turn it down.
- You pick the day we close.
A South Carolina attorney oversees the closing, checks the title and pays off any loan or lien from the proceeds. With a clear title we can close in about a week, or wait as long as six months.
Greenville questions
What Upstate homeowners want to know first.
Our parents bought the house new in the 1980s and never updated it. Will you buy it?
Yes. A house that one family has lived in for 20 or 30 years is a big part of what we buy. The original kitchen and bathrooms, the old carpet, the roof and the HVAC system can all stay as they are. If the house is part of an estate, we time the closing around the probate court.
My father lived in Greer. Which probate court handles his estate?
That depends on which side of the county line his home was on. Greer is split between Greenville and Spartanburg counties, so the estate goes through either the Greenville County Probate Court or the Spartanburg County Probate Court. His property tax bill shows which county the house is in.
An inspector found polybutylene pipes. Will that stop you?
No. Gray polybutylene water lines went into many houses built from the late 1970s into the mid-1990s, and some buyers and insurers back away from them. We factor the replacement into our offer, and you leave the pipes as they are.
The house has a Greenville address but sits outside the city limits. Does that matter?
Not for the sale. Many houses with a Greenville mailing address are in unincorporated Greenville County, and we buy there the same way we buy in town. For probate, what counts is the county the owner lived in, so anyone who lived in Greenville County goes through the Greenville County Probate Court.
Do you buy in Anderson, Easley and Spartanburg too?
Yes. We have bought houses in Anderson as well as Greenville, and we buy in Easley, Spartanburg, Greer, Travelers Rest and the smaller towns in between. If you send the address, we will let you know quickly whether we can make an offer.
Towns around Greenville
We also buy in Travelers Rest, Spartanburg, Fountain Inn, Powdersville and Pickens.
Probate follows the county the owner lived in, and a few Upstate towns cross a county line. Check the county on the tax bill before you call a court.
Travelers Rest
A small city in Greenville County about 10 miles north of Greenville, known as the Gateway to the Foothills. The Swamp Rabbit Trail runs from there into downtown Greenville. A house on a well and septic tank is fine with us. Estates go through the Greenville County Probate Court.
Spartanburg
Spartanburg is the Spartanburg County seat, northeast of Greenville along I-85. We buy its established neighborhood homes and its newer subdivision houses alike. Estates for Spartanburg County owners go through the probate court on Magnolia Street.
Fountain Inn
A city about 17 miles southeast of Greenville, with Main Street running along SC 14 and I-385 along its southern edge. Most of it is in Greenville County, and the southern part is in Laurens County, so an estate goes to the Greenville County or Laurens County Probate Court depending on where the owner lived.
Powdersville
An unincorporated community in the northern corner of Anderson County, about 8 miles southwest of Greenville. We buy its subdivision homes as they stand. Estates for owners who lived here go through the Anderson County Probate Court.
Pickens and Liberty
Pickens is the Pickens County seat and home to the Pickens County Probate Court. Estates for owners who lived in Easley, Liberty, Pickens or anywhere else in the county are opened there. We buy brick ranches, houses on a few acres and houses nobody has lived in for months.
