He walks landlords through how South Carolina assesses a non-owner-occupied rental at a higher ratio of fair market value than an owner-occupied legal residence, since that changes the annual carrying cost on any rental in Folly Beach. He prices from sold and rented comparables specific to Folly Beach, since tenant demand and turnover both vary block by block rather than across the whole town. Where Folly Beach sits on or near water, flood and windstorm insurance is a real line item for a landlord's numbers, not a footnote. A South Carolina attorney still conducts the closing on any rental property sale.

If you are selling in Charleston, here is what is different
Selling in Charleston comes with a few things that catch out-of-market sellers off guard: South Carolina requires an attorney to supervise every closing, the deed recording fee is a real cost most sellers do not expect, and property tax classification, whether a home qualifies as a legal residence, can affect what a buyer's holding costs look like going forward. Flood zone and insurance questions come up more here than in most inland markets, though every property's actual exposure is specific to it. Brian Beatty walks Charleston sellers through what is genuinely different about this market before listing, so nothing at the closing table is a surprise.

Reach out to Brian Beatty directly if your situation sounds similar to one of these.
How much notice do I have to give?
How much notice you must give a tenant before showings, before ending a lease, or before a sale closes depends on your specific lease terms and South Carolina landlord-tenant law, which a local attorney should confirm for your exact situation rather than relying on a general rule. Brian Beatty can tell you how notice requirements typically affect a listing timeline and showing schedule based on experience with other Folly Beach rental sales, but the legal notice period itself should be verified in writing before you act, since getting it wrong can delay a closing or create liability.

How much is a home worth in Folly Beach, Charleston in 2026?
the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS® publishes a benchmark for Charleston as a whole, currently <mark class="gap" title="Real fact needed before launch"></mark>, rather than a separate figure for Folly Beach. What a Folly Beach home is actually worth comes from sold comparables on nearby blocks plus the condition of the house itself, which is what a comparative market analysis from Brian Beatty works out.
I need to sell fast but the house has leased solar panels. Does that slow everything down?
Leased solar panels do not have to slow a fast sale, but the seller needs the lease payoff figure and transfer paperwork from the solar company lined up before the house lists, not after an offer comes in. Buyers either assume the lease payments or the seller pays it off at closing. Getting that answer early is what keeps a fast timeline from stalling.
Should I deliver my Goose Creek 2-family vacant or with tenants in place?
Delivering a Goose Creek two-family vacant usually attracts more owner-occupant buyers willing to pay a premium to move in themselves, while delivering it tenanted keeps cash flow going for an investor buyer but narrows your pool to people comfortable inheriting an existing lease. The right choice depends on current market demand for owner-occupants versus investors in Goose Creek at the time you list. Brian Beatty reviews recent sales of both types before recommending which path nets more for a specific property.
Can I sell a house with a tenant still in it?
Selling with a tenant still in place is allowed, and the existing lease typically transfers to the new owner unless the purchase contract specifies otherwise. Investor buyers often prefer this arrangement since it proves the property already generates rental income. Brian Beatty markets occupied listings to the buyer pool most likely to want that income history intact.
