Real Estate Commissions And Fees In South Carolina

In South Carolina, the average real estate commission is 5.34% of the home's sale price, typically split evenly between the listing and buyer's agents. On a median-priced home of $380,800, this totals about $20,259. Recent changes mean buyers may now pay their agent directly. To save on fees, consider negotiating commissions, using discount agents, selling by owner, or selling to cash buyers, though each option has trade-offs.
