Buyer FAQ

Questions we hear every week

How much do I need for a down payment in South Carolina?

It depends on the loan. Some programs allow a small down payment, and SC Housing offers down payment assistance for eligible buyers. We walk you through the options and connect you with lenders who work with these programs so you know your real number before you shop.

What is SC Housing and can it help me buy a home?

SC Housing is South Carolina’s state housing finance agency. It offers home loan programs and down payment assistance for eligible buyers, with income and purchase-price limits. We help you understand whether you may qualify and what the next step is.

Do I pay The Link Group to represent me as a buyer?

We explain buyer representation and compensation clearly in our first conversation, before you sign anything, so there are no surprises. In many transactions, compensation can be negotiated as part of the purchase.

How long does it take to buy a home in the Upstate?

Many buyers go from first conversation to closing in about 60 to 90 days: a few weeks to get ready and pre-approved, time to find the right home, then roughly 30 to 45 days under contract.

Which areas do you cover?

We serve Anderson, Greenville, Clemson, Easley, Seneca, Greenwood, and Abbeville, across Anderson, Greenville, Pickens, Oconee, Greenwood, and Abbeville counties.

“Quantella and staff assisted us in buying our Anderson condo. She also took the lead in selling the condo ten months later, by doing a great job of staging the condo and advising us the sweet spot to price it. She also has the listing for our downtown Greenville, SC home. You should not consider looking anywhere except to engage Quantella and her team.”
