Home Pros is a veteran-owned cash home buyer active across Anderson and Anderson County, from the streets around downtown Anderson and the North Main corridor to the college-town rental market around Clemson and the growing I-85 corridor near Powdersville. We are not a national franchise reselling your lead to a local investor; our own acquisitions team handles your file from the first call through the closing table, using the same offer formula explained below whether the house needs paint or a new roof after storm damage.
How It Works
Three steps, from your first call to cash in hand.
1. Tell Us About Your House
- Share the address and a few basic details
- No walkthrough required to get started
- Takes about two minutes
2. Get Your Cash Offer
- Fair, no-obligation offer within 24 hours
- Based on comparable sales and condition
- No appraisal contingency to wait on
3. Pick Your Closing Date
- Close in as little as 7 days
- Or choose a date that works, typically 14 to 30 days
- We cover the closing attorney's fee
How We Calculate Your Offer
The same formula every time, no lowball tactics.
We start with your home's likely after-repair value (ARV), meaning what it would sell for once it's fully updated. We subtract the estimated cost of repairs, then subtract a margin that covers our holding costs, the closing attorney's fee, and the risk of reselling in Anderson's market. What's left is your cash offer, and we'll show you the math before you sign anything. Try the cash offer calculator with your own numbers.
Worked example: moderate repairs
Anderson's citywide median property value was $218,200 in 2024, per Census-derived estimates published by Data USA (Anderson County's median runs higher, at $231,900). For a typical 3-bedroom brick ranch near the city median needing moderate repairs (roof, HVAC, flooring): ARV around $218,000, minus $27,000 in estimated repairs, minus $28,000 in margin, holding, and closing costs, equals a cash offer near $163,000.
Worked example: light repairs
For a similar home that only needs cosmetic work (paint, fixtures, landscaping): ARV around $218,000, minus $7,000 in estimated repairs, minus $22,000 in margin, holding, and closing costs, equals a cash offer near $189,000. A home with unresolved Helene-related roof, tree, or water damage nets a lower offer than either example, since both our repair estimate and holding time go up.
What Closing Day Looks Like in Anderson
The same attorney-supervised process either way, just faster and cheaper with a cash buyer.
Once you accept our written offer, we open the file with a South Carolina closing attorney, order a title search, and set a closing date. Because there is no buyer mortgage to underwrite, that title search is usually the last thing standing between signing and closing. You do not need to be in Anderson to close; South Carolina closing attorneys routinely handle mail-away closings for out-of-state heirs, landlords, and families who relocated for a job in Greenville-Spartanburg or a program at Clemson. On closing day, the attorney disburses funds under South Carolina's closing rules, pays off any existing mortgage, HOA liens, or tax judgments directly out of the proceeds, and wires you the balance the same day the deed records.
Cash Offer vs. Listing With an Agent in Anderson
What each path actually costs and how long it takes.
Selling a House in Anderson: What's Different Here
The neighborhoods and towns we buy in
We buy throughout Anderson, from the streets around downtown Anderson and the North Main corridor to the Whitehall and Pearman Dairy Road areas, and the fast-growing I-85 corridor toward Powdersville. We also buy houses across the wider Anderson County area, including Belton, Williamston, Honea Path, Iva, Starr, Townville, Pelzer, and the historic town of Pendleton, plus the Lake Hartwell and Lake Secession waterfront communities.
Clemson, a college-town rental market next door
Clemson University sits just northwest of Anderson in neighboring Pendleton, and it shapes a meaningful slice of the local housing market. A lot of Anderson County property turns over on a semester or lease-year timeline, student rentals, landlord exits after years of tenant wear, and family homes bought for a student now sitting vacant. We buy occupied rentals as-is, no eviction or lease buyout required first, and can close around a semester break if that timing works better for you.
South Carolina's deed recording fee
Every deed recorded in South Carolina, Anderson County included, is subject to the state's Deed Recording Fee under S.C. Code Section 12-24-10: $1.85 for every $500 of the property's value (or fraction of $500), split between a $1.30 state portion and a $0.55 county portion. On a $218,000 sale, that works out to roughly $807. In a traditional sale this is typically a seller-side closing cost; when you sell to Home Pros, it comes out of our side of the ledger.
Anderson County's foreclosure process
South Carolina is a judicial foreclosure state, so a lender has to file suit and win a court order before a home can be sold. Once the circuit court confirms the default, the case moves to Anderson County's Master-in-Equity Court, which generally holds its sale on the first Tuesday and Thursday of each month at 11:00 AM at the Anderson County Courthouse (Anderson County Master-in-Equity). A winning bidder has to put down 5% by certified check at the sale, and the borrower then has a 30-day upset bid period before the sale is final (S.C. Code Section 15-39-630), with notice posted and published for three consecutive weeks before the sale (S.C. Code Sections 15-39-650 and 15-39-660). That window gives Anderson County homeowners real time to sell and keep whatever equity is left, instead of losing it at a courthouse sale.
Inherited a house? Personal-property affidavits don't cover real estate
If you inherited an Anderson County house, South Carolina lets an heir collect a decedent's personal property, bank accounts, vehicle titles, and similar assets, by sworn affidavit without opening full probate, once the personal-property estate is worth $45,000 or less and at least 30 days have passed since the death (S.C. Code Section 62-3-1201, threshold raised from $25,000 by Act No. 26 (H.3472), effective May 8, 2025). That affidavit does not transfer real estate, though, so a house almost always still needs the Anderson County Probate Court to appoint a personal representative before a sale can close. We can put a written offer in front of the family while that appointment is pending.
Property taxes and this quarter's deadline
Anderson County mails real property tax notices October 1, and the total payment is due January 15 without penalty; a payment postmarked after January 15 begins accruing penalties, with additional penalty dates on February 2 and March 17, per the Anderson County Treasurer's Office ((864) 260-4033). If you're heading into fall carrying insurance and taxes on a house you can't keep, that January 15 date is worth planning around whether you sell to us or someone else.
This quarter: still recovering from Hurricane Helene
Anderson County isn't a coastal storm-surge county, but it's squarely in the path of inland flooding and wind damage from tropical systems that track up through the Upstate. Tropical Storm Helene moved through on September 26 to 27, 2024, and killed multiple people in the county, downed trees across the region, and knocked out power to nearly 95,000 county customers, about 60% of Anderson County, for more than a day. Along the Saluda River, residents spent weeks afterward clearing mud and sand left by the flooding (Post and Courier; SC Office of Resilience). With the region approaching the two-year mark since that storm and another hurricane season underway through mid-October, an owner still sitting on unrepaired roof, tree, or water damage doesn't have to wait out another season; a cash sale can close well before winter regardless of what the rest of the season brings.
South Carolina requires an attorney at every closing
South Carolina is one of the states where a residential closing, cash or financed, has to be supervised by a licensed attorney; the South Carolina Supreme Court has held that closing a sale without one is the unauthorized practice of law. That attorney has to be meaningfully involved in the title search, document preparation, closing, and disbursement, and has to attend the closing itself. What changes when you sell to Home Pros is who pays the fee (we do) and how much paperwork lands on you first, since there is no listing agreement, no buyer financing contingency, and no repair addendum to negotiate through counsel.
Situations We Buy In
Whatever is going on with the property or your timeline, we can usually make it work.
Inherited a house
Skip repairs, cleanout, and showings on a property you didn't plan to keep, and split proceeds with co-heirs without one of you carrying the work. Read our inherited-house guide.
Facing foreclosure
We can often make an offer and close before Anderson County's Master-in-Equity sale date, which stops the foreclosure and can protect whatever equity you have left. See how selling can stop foreclosure.
Behind on property taxes
We factor unpaid Anderson County taxes and penalties into your offer and pay them out of closing, so you're not writing a check before you can sell.
Relocating for work or Clemson
Set a closing date around your start date or lease timeline instead of a listing schedule, whether that's 7 days out or 60.
Going through divorce
A fast, neutral cash sale can simplify splitting proceeds on a house neither party wants to manage during the split. See our divorce-sale guide.
Tenants, including student rentals
We buy occupied rentals as-is, Clemson-area student housing included; no eviction or lease buyout required first. Learn more about selling with tenants.
Storm, wind, or water damage
Unresolved Helene-related roof, tree, or flood damage; we buy it as-is and handle repairs after closing, no insurance claim required first.
Vacant or hard to manage from out of state
Stop paying insurance, taxes, and upkeep on a house sitting empty, especially if you live outside the Anderson area.
Anderson Seller FAQ
Do I need an attorney to close on my house in Anderson?
Yes. Every residential closing in South Carolina, cash or financed, has to be supervised by a licensed attorney, so a closing attorney still runs your title search, prepares the deed, and disburses funds when you sell to us. Home Pros pays that attorney's fee. If you list with an agent instead, that cost is typically yours.
When and where does Anderson County hold foreclosure sales?
Anderson County's Master-in-Equity Court generally holds its monthly foreclosure sale on the first Tuesday and Thursday of each month at 11:00 AM at the Anderson County Courthouse. A winning bidder has to put down 5% of the bid by certified check on the spot, and South Carolina then gives the borrower a 30-day upset bid period before the sale is final (S.C. Code Section 15-39-630). We can often make a cash offer and close before that sale date, which stops the process and can protect whatever equity you have left.
I inherited a house in Anderson County and there was no will. Do I have to open full probate to sell it?
It depends what you're transferring. South Carolina lets an heir collect a decedent's personal property, things like bank accounts or a vehicle title, by sworn affidavit without opening full probate, when the personal-property estate is worth $45,000 or less and at least 30 days have passed since the death (S.C. Code Section 62-3-1201, threshold raised from $25,000 by Act No. 26, effective May 8, 2025). That affidavit does not transfer real estate on its own, so an Anderson County house almost always still needs the Anderson County Probate Court to appoint a personal representative before a sale can close. We can put a written offer on the table while that appointment is pending.
Do I still have to fill out a disclosure form if I sell my Anderson house as-is?
In most private sales, yes. Selling as-is does not exempt you from South Carolina's Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act (S.C. Code Title 27, Chapter 50); you still owe a buyer a written disclosure of known defects. The law does carve out transfers by court order, including foreclosure sales and sales handled through estate administration. When you sell to Home Pros, we buy knowing the home's condition up front, so there is no post-inspection repair-credit negotiation.
My house still has damage from Hurricane Helene. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Tropical Storm Helene moved through the Upstate on September 26 to 27, 2024, and Anderson County was one of the hardest-hit counties in the state: widespread downed trees, roof and structure damage, and an outage that left nearly 95,000 county customers without power, about 60% of Anderson County, more than a day after the storm passed. Along the Saluda River, residents were still clearing mud and sand from flooding weeks later. If your house still has unresolved wind, roof, tree, or water damage from that storm, we buy it as-is and build the repair cost into our offer, no insurance claim or contractor required first.
What if I'm behind on my mortgage payments right now?
Reach out as soon as you can. We can often put an offer together and close before your lender files suit, or before an Anderson County Master-in-Equity sale date if a case is already underway, which can stop the process and preserve whatever equity you still have.
How fast do I get the money after closing?
Once the closing attorney disburses funds, you get a wire the same day. There's no multi-week wait for a buyer's mortgage lender to fund, the way there is in a financed sale.
What parts of Anderson and Anderson County do you buy in?
We buy throughout the city, from the streets around downtown Anderson and the North Main corridor to the Whitehall and Pearman Dairy areas, plus the surrounding towns of Belton, Williamston, Honea Path, Iva, Starr, Pendleton, Powdersville, and Easley, and the Lake Hartwell waterfront communities.
Do you buy houses near Clemson or in a college-town rental market?
Yes. Clemson University sits just northwest of Anderson in neighboring Pendleton, and a lot of Anderson County property turns over on a semester or lease-year timeline, student rentals, landlord exits, and family homes near campus included. We buy occupied rental property as-is, no eviction or lease buyout required first, and can close around a semester break if that timing works better for you.
Is there really no cost to me at closing?
Correct. We pay the closing attorney's fee and standard closing costs, and there's no real estate commission since no agent is involved. The number in your purchase agreement is what you walk away with, minus anything you still owe on the property.
How do you decide what to offer for my house?
We start with the home's likely after-repair value based on recent comparable sales in your part of Anderson County, subtract our estimate of repair costs, and subtract a margin that covers holding costs, closing costs, and resale risk. What's left is your cash offer, and we'll walk through the math with you before you sign anything.
