Who is the best agent for a move-up sale and purchase on Folly Beach?
A move-up transaction on Folly Beach, selling a current home while buying a larger one, works best when one agent coordinates both sides so financing, timing, and closing dates line up without forcing a client to carry two mortgages. Brian manages both transactions together specifically to avoid that gap, rather than treating the sale and the purchase as unrelated deals.
How does a bridge loan or rent-back work?
A bridge loan lets a homeowner borrow against equity in their current home to cover a down payment on a new one before the first home sells, while a rent-back lets a seller stay in the sold home temporarily by paying the new owner rent. Both solve the same timing problem of owning two homes at once, just through different mechanics and different lenders or contract terms. Brian Beatty helps Lowcountry clients weigh which option fits their specific timeline and financing situation better.
Should I sell before or after moving to my new home?
Selling first removes financing risk since a lender knows exactly what equity is coming from the sale, while moving first means carrying two housing payments until the old home closes. A contingency or a rent-back after closing can bridge the gap without forcing either order. Brian structures the offer around whichever sequence fits the buyer's actual finances and timeline.
