Which MLS will a South Carolina FSBO listing go on?
South Carolina doesn’t have one statewide MLS, which is why we rank for sale by owner websites in Charleston, SC on Charleston Trident MLS access. Your listing goes on the one that covers your county, and that’s where local buyer’s agents search. So ask any FSBO site first: which MLS will my home be on?
Beycome’s South Carolina page names the 8 MLSs we list on, all included in the flat fee.
| Area | MLS | Typical home value, Sept. 2026 | 1-year change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charleston metro | Charleston Trident MLS | $437,500 | -0.2% |
| Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand | Coastal Carolinas MLS (CCAR) | $339,700 | +0.6% |
| Columbia and the Midlands | Consolidated MLS | $253,000 | +1.6% |
| Greenville and the Upstate | Greater Greenville MLS | $312,000 | +1.4% |

What do for sale by owner websites in South Carolina cost, all-in?

What is the best for sale by owner website for a South Carolina seller?
The one that reaches your county’s MLS, gives you enough photos and time, and takes no percentage at closing.
Beycome Basic, from $99 in most states (see your state page). The MLS photo maximum, the longest term the state and MLS allow, unlimited updates and e-signature. Offer and negotiation help comes from our Artur AI assistant. ShowingTime is included where the MLS offers it. No cancellation fee, and nothing due to Beycome at closing. See the South Carolina flat fee MLS plans.
Brokerless, $99. Six photos and six months on the entry plan, and no closing fees. Negotiation is up to you. Its site claims national coverage without naming SC MLSs.
Homecoin, $149. Max photos, 12 months, 10 free changes and cancel at no cost. Homecoin lists South Carolina as an active state and says price varies by MLS.
Houzeo Bronze, $399. 25 photos, 6 months and $0 at closing. Silver, Gold and Platinum add 0.5% to 1.25% at closing, with a minimum closing fee on its pricing page, and the SC page adds 0.5% for Hilton Head and Beaufort County MLS listings.
Fizber, ISoldMyHouse, HomeZu, ByOwner.com, Unreal Estate and List With Freedom. The table above has their entry plans. Watch the ones that add 0.1% to 0.5% at closing: on a Charleston home that’s more than the listing itself. List With Freedom doesn’t name SC on its pricing page.

What fees and forms apply to a South Carolina FSBO sale?
Deed recording fee
Section 12-24-10 of the South Carolina Code sets a fee for recording a deed of $1.85 for each $500, or part of $500, of the property’s value. Section 12-24-90 splits it into a state fee of $1.30 and a county fee of $0.55 per $500.
| Home value | $500 units | Recording fee at $1.85 |
|---|---|---|
| $253,000 (Columbia metro) | 506 | $936.10 |
| $304,300 (statewide) | 609 | $1,126.65 |
| $587,500 (Charleston city) | 1,175 | $2,173.75 |
Your contract says who pays it. It’s collected when the deed is recorded with the county. To find your parcel and tax records, see our guide to the South Carolina property tax ID.
Residential property condition disclosure statement
Under the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act, section 27-50-40, the owner of a home with one to four units must give the buyer a written disclosure statement on the form set by the South Carolina Real Estate Commission. It can be delivered electronically.
Section 27-50-30 lists exceptions, such as foreclosures and sales where both sides agree in writing to skip it. Our guide to drafting a FSBO contract in South Carolina walks through the rest of the paperwork.

Get up to 2% back at closing
On homes listed by other agents, Beycome credits you up to 2% of the price at closing (1% kept, $1,499 minimum; not on FSBO homes or homes listed by Beycome sellers).
Buy a home →The 3% figure is an example only. Commissions are not set by law or by NAR rules and are fully negotiable. Sellers choose whether to offer a buyer’s agent any compensation, and how much. Since August 17, 2024, those offers can’t be shown on the MLS.

Which platforms find Upstate South Carolina houses and condos at the best price?
Short answer, as of November 2026: search the big portals for free, check sold prices, and cut what you pay at closing. Here’s each option, judged on price.
| Platform | Why we’d use it (price) | Why we might not |
|---|---|---|
| Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin | Free to search; they carry most Greater Greenville MLS and Western Upstate MLS listings, price cuts and recent sales | Their value estimates are estimates; the contact button often routes you to a partner agent |
| A local buyer’s agent | Sees new MLS listings and sold comps on day one | Their pay is negotiable and set in a written agreement you sign before touring |
| FSBO sites and Facebook Marketplace | Some owners price a little lower with no listing agent | Few listings, thin data, and you check title and disclosures yourself |
| Beycome buyer program | No upfront fee; part of the buyer-agent commission comes back to you at closing | No credit on most FSBO homes or on homes listed by Beycome sellers |
For condos, ask for the HOA dues and any special assessment before you offer: a $40 monthly difference is $4,800 over 10 years. Compare sold prices in the same building.
The Beycome buyer program in Greenville works on homes listed by other agents. Beycome keeps 1% of the price (minimum $1,499) and credits the rest of the buyer-agent commission the seller offers at closing, with lender approval. Buying straight from an owner?

South Carolina FSBO website questions
What are the best for sale by owner websites in South Carolina?
Look for one that lists on your county’s MLS with no fee at closing. In our October 20, 2026 check, Beycome Basic, Brokerless ($99) and Homecoin ($149) charge nothing at closing; they differ on photos and term.
How much does it cost to list on the MLS by owner in South Carolina?
Entry plans cost $85 to $399 upfront. With closing fees, the all-in cost on a $304,300 home runs from $99 to about $1,611.
Which MLS covers Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Myrtle Beach?
Charleston Trident MLS, Consolidated MLS, Greater Greenville MLS and Coastal Carolinas MLS. Beycome lists on all four and 4 more SC MLSs.
What is the deed recording fee in South Carolina?
$1.85 per $500 of value ($1.30 state, $0.55 county). On a $304,300 home, that’s $1,126.65.
Do South Carolina sellers have to give a disclosure statement?
Yes, for most sales of one to four homes, under section 27-50-40. Some sales are exempt, including when both sides agree in writing to skip it.
Do I need a realtor to sell my house in South Carolina?
No, it’s not required; it’s your choice. You can sell by owner, use a flat fee MLS listing, or hire a listing agent.
Where can I find condos for sale in the Upstate at the best price?
Search Zillow, Realtor.com and Redfin for free, then compare sold prices in the same building and the HOA dues. A buyer rebate program can lower what you pay at closing on agent-listed condos.

Yes. A flat fee MLS listing puts it in front of local buyer’s agents. Have your Corps of Engineers dock permit and shoreline papers ready, since waterfront buyers ask for them first.
