Built for South Carolina closings
This page is for South Carolina title agencies, escrow offices and closing attorneys who need a new website or a rebuild of the one they have. It explains how we design a South Carolina title company website, which calculators and online forms are included, and what the monthly cost is. We build websites for the title industry and nothing else, and every South Carolina project starts with the state rules below.
South Carolina closings must be supervised by a licensed South Carolina attorney, by decision of the state’s Supreme Court, and in practice the closing attorney is also the title insurance agent. Title insurance rates are filed with the Department of Insurance by each underwriter. The seller pays a deed recording fee — South Carolina’s transfer tax by another name — measured on the consideration and split between the state and the county.
The buyer customarily pays for the owner’s policy. Greenville, Charleston and Myrtle Beach have been among the fastest-growing markets in the country, fed by relocation buyers from the Northeast and Midwest who search online long before they have an agent. A South Carolina site is built for the closing practice and for that buyer.
- Filed premium rates configured to your underwriter
- Deed recording fee computed on the consideration, charged to the seller
- Register of deeds fees by county
- Order intake built for an attorney-supervised closing
- Local SEO for Greenville, Charleston, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Rock Hill and Hilton Head
- Seller net sheets accurate to South Carolina customs
Calculators built for South Carolina, fitted to your site
Custom calculators are the core of what we do. Each one we build for a South Carolina agency runs on South Carolina’s actual rules — filed premium schedules, the state and county deed recording fee the seller pays, register of deeds fees by county, and the attorney-supervised closing the South Carolina Supreme Court requires — and is styled to your brand and placed in your own page layout, rather than embedded as a generic widget with your logo pasted on top.
Choose the tools that match your South Carolina workflow. These six are the ones South Carolina agencies ask for first; fourteen are available.

Attorneys supervise closings
South Carolina’s Supreme Court requires an attorney to supervise the closing. The site is built for the closing practice or the agency that works with one.
Deed recording fee
The seller pays a state and county deed recording fee measured on the consideration. It sits on every net sheet.
Upstate, Midlands, Lowcountry, Grand Strand
Four regions, four sets of agents. Each gets its own page.
Forms that do the back-and-forth for you
Intake forms live on your South Carolina site, so an agent opens the order, a lender requests what they need and the buyer and seller complete their sheets online instead of by email. Each submission arrives as a finished PDF that goes straight into the file in your title software. Every form carries your branding and works on a phone. The six below are the most used by South Carolina agencies; eleven are available.
Submit a Contract
Clients upload a signed purchase contract and any addenda — you open the file and start title work right away.
Open form →Buyer Information Sheet
Buyers complete intake online and you receive it as a PDF — or they download it to fill out by hand.
Open form →Seller Information Sheet
Sellers complete intake online and you receive a PDF — or download it to complete on paper.
Open form →Payoff Authorization
Sellers and refinancers e-sign to authorize a payoff request — so net sheets are accurate and prior liens clear at closing.
Open form →Open a Title Order
Agents and lenders open a new file in one step — property, parties, lender, and closing date. No back-and-forth emails.
Open form →Secure Document Upload
Clients upload IDs, payoffs, and sensitive documents through an encrypted portal.
Open form →The attorney is the closing, and the site should make the attorney easy to reach
South Carolina’s rule is not just that an attorney supervises; the attorney examines, prepares the deed, conducts the closing and disburses, and lenders and Realtors know that the file moves at the speed of the attorney’s office. Buyers even sign an attorney-preference form acknowledging their right to choose. That makes the closing attorney the product, and most closing-attorney websites hide the product behind a firm history.
A South Carolina closing site should do the opposite: the attorney and the paralegal on the file, reachable from every page; a title order form and a contract upload that open the file without a call; e-recording status for Greenville, Charleston and Horry, which record electronically; and a net sheet the listing agent can run with the deed recording fee computed.
Horry County adds its own examination questions — condotels, short-term rental regimes, and the golf-course and HOA documents a Myrtle Beach buyer needs before closing — and the order form asks them so the file opens with what the attorney needs.
Relocation buyers search before they have a closing attorney
Greenville and Spartanburg in the Upstate, Charleston and Berkeley and Dorchester in the Lowcountry, Horry along the Grand Strand, York County across the line from Charlotte: each has absorbed years of buyers from Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and those buyers arrive not knowing that South Carolina closes through attorneys or that the seller pays the recording fee. They search.
A page for each of those markets — how a South Carolina closing works, what the attorney does, what an owner’s policy costs at your rates, what the deed recording fee is — is what they and the agents bringing them find. Columbia and the Midlands are a steadier in-state market where the order form and the net sheet lead. Hilton Head and the coast have remote sellers and second-home buyers.

South Carolina title website questions
Does South Carolina require an attorney at closing?
Yes. The South Carolina Supreme Court requires that real estate closings be supervised by a licensed South Carolina attorney. In practice the closing attorney also acts as title agent, and we build the site for that practice.
Does South Carolina have a transfer tax?
South Carolina calls it a deed recording fee: a charge on the consideration, split between the state and the county, paid by the seller when the deed is recorded. Our seller net sheet includes it.
How are South Carolina title rates regulated?
Each underwriter files its rates with the South Carolina Department of Insurance. Premiums differ between underwriters, so the calculators are configured to yours.
Who pays for the owner's policy in South Carolina?
The buyer customarily pays for the owner’s and lender’s policies. The calculators default to that and can be changed per deal.
Can you build pages for Greenville, Charleston and Myrtle Beach separately?
Yes. Each county and city you close in gets its own page, written for that market rather than duplicated.
Is the site written for buyers relocating to South Carolina?
Yes. The Upstate, Lowcountry and Grand Strand pages explain how a South Carolina closing differs from the one the buyer just had up north, which is what a large share of those buyers are searching to understand.
What does a South Carolina title agency website cost per month?
Three plans: $75 a month puts the South Carolina calculators and forms on your existing website; $150 a month is a custom 25-page site with all fourteen calculators, forms, hosting and local SEO; $399 a month is a 50-page site with monthly blog content and ads management. There is no setup fee and you can cancel any month.
We already have a South Carolina title company website. Can you redesign it?
Yes, and that is the most common project. We move your existing content over, preserve your page addresses so your Google rankings carry across, add the South Carolina calculators and intake forms, and host the new site on secure, ADA-compliant hosting. If you want to keep the site you have, the $75 plan adds the tools to it as-is.
Deed recording fee under S.C. Code § 12-24-10; attorney supervision per State v. Buyers Service Co. (1987) and Doe v. McMaster (2003). Verify current fees and filed premiums before relying on any figure.
