Yes. South Carolina allows homeowners to sell FSBO. HomeRise gives you full MLS exposure so you get the same visibility as agent-listed homes while keeping control of the sale. HomeRise is not a licensed brokerage.
Most South Carolina sellers go live on the MLS within 24–72 hours of submitting their listing details and completing the compliance call.
Since the 2024 NAR settlement, buyer agent commissions are no longer pre-set on the MLS. You decide whether to offer a buyer agent commission and how much.
If your home doesn't sell during the listing period, you can renew or cancel with no additional fees. HomeRise offers a 100% money-back guarantee if you cancel before your listing goes live on the MLS.
