Updated November 2026. We read every competitor’s prices on its own site on October 20, 2026, and re-checked Beycome’s prices on November 2, 2026.
A flat fee MLS listing in South Carolina costs $85 to $399 upfront with the ten companies here (November 2026). Beycome Basic starts from $99 in most states, South Carolina included, with $0 at closing. Two things are special here. A lawyer must oversee your closing. And some firms charge more on the coast: Houzeo adds 0.5% in the Hilton Head and Beaufort County MLS.

Flat fee MLS or a traditional commission in Pawleys Island and on the coast?
Neither is required; it’s your choice. A full-service agent prices, markets, shows and negotiates, and many coastal sellers are glad to pay for that. A flat fee listing puts you on the same MLS while you handle the work. Here’s the math on a typical Pawleys Island home, worth $549,500 in September 2026 (Zillow Home Value Index), up 1.3% over the year.
| On a $549,500 Pawleys Island home | Traditional listing (3% example) | Flat fee MLS listing |
|---|---|---|
| Listing cost | $16,485 | From $99 (Beycome Basic) |
| On the MLS | Yes | Yes |
| Who shows and negotiates | The agent, with you | You, with Artur AI; an expert on Concierge |
| Deed recording fee ($1.85 per $500) | $2,033.15 | $2,033.15 |
| Closing | SC attorney | SC attorney |
The 3% is an example only. Commissions are not set by law or NAR rules and are fully negotiable. You choose whether to offer a buyer’s agent anything, and since August 17, 2024 that offer can’t be shown on the MLS. Grand Strand homes around Myrtle Beach go on Coastal Carolinas MLS (CCAR), one of the eight South Carolina MLSs we list on; for Pawleys Island, confirm which MLS covers your address before you pay anyone.
Local or national firm? Compare the MLS used, photos, term and any fee at closing, in writing. Our South Carolina FSBO selling guide walks through the steps.
Which coastal and state-specific fees should SC sellers check?
- Houzeo’s South Carolina page adds this line: if your listing is in Hilton Head MLS and Beaufort County MLS, an extra 0.5% is due at closing on all plans. On the state’s typical home value that’s $1,521.50, even on Bronze.
- HomeZu’s South Carolina plan is $399 for 25 photos and 6 months, plus a closing fee of 0.1% to 0.25%. On $304,300 that’s $304.30 to $760.75.
Beycome Basic starts from $99 (see the South Carolina page) with $0 at closing on every South Carolina MLS we list on.
Are the two $99 plans the same listing?
No. Brokerless’s $99 plan shows buyers 6 photos for 6 months, and it leaves negotiating to you. Its $188 plan stretches to 12 months with more photos. Beycome Basic posts every photo the MLS accepts and runs for the longest term the state and MLS allow.**
Do you need an attorney to close in South Carolina?
South Carolina’s Supreme Court has held for decades that “real estate and mortgage loan closings should be conducted only under the supervision of attorneys.” It repeated that in Doe v. McMaster (2003). The title search, closing and recording all count as legal work.
So a flat fee listing gets you on the MLS, but a lawyer still runs the closing. Our guide on how to sell a house by owner in South Carolina puts every step in order. Ask for the lawyer’s fee up front. If you’d like a person to handle the deal from offer to closing table, Beycome Concierge coordinates with your closing attorney.
What is the South Carolina deed recording fee?
South Carolina charges $1.85 for every $500 of value, or part of $500 (S.C. Code 12-24-10). That’s a $1.30 state fee plus a $0.55 county fee. Section 12-24-20 makes the grantor, meaning you as seller, liable for it. On $304,300 that’s 608.6 units of $500, which counts as 609, so $1,126.65.
What must a South Carolina seller disclose?
Under S.C. Code 27-50-40, you give the buyer a written disclosure on the form set by the South Carolina Real Estate Commission. Deliver it before the contract is signed. The current Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement was updated in June 2025.
What is the multiple listing service in South Carolina?
There isn’t one statewide MLS. South Carolina has several regional ones, each run with a local REALTOR® association, and a listing goes on the one that covers the address.
Beycome lists on eight South Carolina MLSs (Beycome internal data, October 2026):
- Greater Greenville MLS, run with the Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS®. See our Greenville flat fee comparison.
- Charleston Trident MLS, tied to the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS®. See our Charleston comparison.
- Coastal Carolinas MLS (CCAR).
- Canopy MLS, for the South Carolina side of the Charlotte market.
- Consolidated MLS. Our Columbia page covers the Midlands.
- Western Upstate MLS.
- Aiken MLS.
- My State MLS South Carolina, a statewide listing option.
Hilton Head MLS and Beaufort County MLS, the two Houzeo prices higher, aren’t on our list. If your home is there, ask any company which MLS it will use.

Competitor prices and terms come from each company’s own website, read on Oct 20, 2026; they can change, so check before you buy. “$0 at closing” means no Beycome fee at closing. You still pay other closing costs, taxes, the lawyer and any buyer’s agent pay you agree to.
* No cancellation fee on any Beycome package. There is no refund once the listing is live, and a listing that is under contract can’t be canceled.
** Listing term is the maximum the state and the MLS allow: up to 24 months (12 in Maryland and Pennsylvania).
