Can the seller stay in the house after closing in Summerville or Sullivan's Island?

A seller can stay in the house after closing in Summerville or Sullivan's Island through a rent-back agreement negotiated as part of the purchase contract, giving them a set number of days to move out after ownership transfers. This arrangement needs specific written terms covering daily cost, insurance and what happens if the seller does not vacate on time. Brian Beatty negotiates rent-back terms directly into the contract rather than leaving them as a handshake agreement.
