Our company
A local company built around listening first.
I BUY SC gives South Carolina homeowners a simpler, more personal way to sell—one grounded in direct conversations, clear options, and respect for the decision in front of you.
The story behind I BUY SC
A better experience starts with understanding the person, not just the property.
Ethan began his real estate career working in acquisitions for another company, helping homeowners understand their options and find practical ways to sell their properties.
That experience showed him that many sellers needed more than an offer. They needed someone willing to listen, communicate directly, and understand the circumstances behind the sale.
At 25, Ethan founded I BUY SC to create that kind of experience for South Carolina homeowners. The company purchases properties directly in as-is condition, helping sellers avoid repairs, showings, agent commissions, and unnecessary uncertainty.
Our mission and values
Help homeowners make the decision that is best for them.
Listen first
Every property and every homeowner has a different story. We start by understanding yours.
Be clear
We explain the process plainly, answer questions directly, and want you to understand your options.
Stay flexible
We work around the property and the circumstances rather than forcing every seller into one process.
Treat people well
Respect, patience, and doing what we say are at the center of every homeowner conversation.
Beyond the business

Cash offer vs. traditional home sale in South Carolina
Here is how selling your house for cash to I BUY SC compares to a traditional agent sale.
| Criteria | Cash sale — I BUY SC | Traditional agent sale |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | Offer in 24 hours, close in 10–14 days | 60–90+ days, uncertain |
| Repairs Needed | None — sell as-is | Usually required by buyer |
| Fees / Commissions | $0 — we cover closing costs | 6% commission + closing fees |
| Typical Offer | 70–85% of market value (as-is) | 95–100% minus repairs & fees |
| Showings | None — one simple walkthrough | Multiple, often inconvenient |
| Closing Flexibility | You pick the date | Limited by buyer & lender |
Bottom line: A cash sale is faster and hassle-free, but typically comes with a discount to market value. For many South Carolina sellers dealing with repairs, foreclosure deadlines, or distress, the speed and certainty are worth it. Use the calculator below to compare your real net both ways.
