"What If" VLOG SERIES - Should I Get A Survey?

What If… I don’t get a survey?

Attorneys Roger Roy and Juliet Casper have been practicing law on the Grand Strand for over twenty years.  During that time they have heard many of the same questions from clients who are buying a home or condominium in Horry County and Georgetown County, and also in Brunswick County, North Carolina.  Unlike other states, South Carolina considers a real estate closing to be the practice of law which only an attorney may handle.  An attorney has to supervise the title search of the property, explain the closing documents to the client, conduct the closing, oversee the recordation of the deed and mortgage, and disburse the funds.

First time buyers are especially concerned about the closing costs, and ask many of the “What If” questions.  These “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQs) are the basis of a series of short videos that will be posted over the next several months.  While South Carolina real estate law is complex, the attorneys and staff at Roy & Casper, LLC, make the process smooth and as stress-free as possible for their clients.
