Frequently Asked Questions
You may have a few questions, that’s completely normal. Most homeowners do. Below is a brief collection of some of the most common questions we receive, along with clear answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We are always happy to help!
Q: Will you list my house on the MLS, or are you actually buying it?
A: This is a common question. We are not real estate brokers, so we do not list your home on the market MLS (Multiple Listing Service). Instead, at Carolina Family House Buyers, we are direct property investors: We buy houses Myrtle Beach in any condition.
According to Redfin, in December 2025, 16.3% of signed home purchase agreements were cancelled. Often due to financing concerns.
Getting into a contract based upon a cash offer is a more reliable process to ensure the sale closes on time. Often buyers’ financed using bank loans can fall though, which is why we use private capital. Given high interest rates, when buyers enter contracts based upon emotion then they proceed to calculate the entire monthly payment including insurance and taxes on top of the principal and interest it can lead to the buyer backing out.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Traditional agents market houses by placing them on the MLS and hoping for a buyer. They collect a commission, usually ranging from 3% to 6% of the purchase price. For instance, on a $100,000 transaction, you could lose $3,000 to $6,000 just in agent fees.
Agents offer a great resource for property owners who don’t mind waiting and don’t mind sacrificing a portion of their equity to fees. As of February 2026, according to Redfin the average home takes 112 days to sell. Our unique model favors quick transactions. We function as purchasers, not representatives. We buy houses straight from the owner using liquid funds, which enables us to commit to a deal rapidly, frequently within 48 hours, and occasionally on the very same day. We take on the full liability of the investment, managing all necessary renovations and future property oversight ourselves.
If helpful, we can arrange for you to stay in the house after closing, on a schedule that is convenient for your family.

Q: How do I know you are giving me fair offer for my home?
A: That’s a great question and one asked by many sellers. We have a specific mathematic formula that we use to calculate the fair market value of your home in its current condition.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Carolina Family House Buyers bases its offers on several factors, including the property’s location, condition, size, recent comparable sales in Myrtle Beach, and the cost of any needed repairs or updates. We also consider current market trends and holding costs.
Our goal is to present a fair, transparent cash offer that reflects the real condition of the property. We don’t need banks to get involved because we buy directly from you using our own funds.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: No, this is one primary advantage of choosing us over the traditional market: $0 in commissions or fees. This is significantly different from a standard listing where you might lose 6% of your equity to an agent, our direct purchase process is free of hidden costs. Using a realtor, on a $100,000 house this could be upwards of $6,000. In most cases, we even cover the closing expenses! Once the deal is finalized, the financial burden of the mortgage and maintenance is entirely ours, and you walk away with cash in hand and a clean slate.
