It is true! 

Follow Along as we Provide the Facts |

Ocean Lakes Property Sales is bringing 70% of all buyers to the market for all listings inside Ocean Lakes. Meaning, if you list with an outside agency (Century 21, REMAX, etc.), Ocean Lakes and their team will still bring you a buyer 70% of the time. 

More on the MLS | All of Ocean Lakes Properties Sales’ sites are now on the MLS. This is a regional listing platform used by all real estate agents in Horry County. The regional MLS data is transferred every night to Realtor.com, Zillow, Homes.com, and hundreds of other sites. 

Now buyers across the nation can see all of the sites Ocean Lakes Properties Sales has for sale. Those buyers may approach an agent about a particular site but decide to go with another one not listed with OLPS. Our agents can now assist that buyer making an offer and contract the home. 

For Sale by Owner – List with Ocean Lakes Properties Sales | For Sale by Owners need to realize that if they use OLPS to market their home, we can increase the return to the seller by more than 30%. Do NOT let someone talk you into taking less for your site. 

Mason explains, “I cannot tell you how many times I have heard, “We sold the site to a friend for $100,000 and I know we could have gotten much more for the site.”” 

The 2023 numbers reflect a vacant lot can be sold for $125,000 – $160,000 depending on the location. Any site with a habitable structure brings added value for the seller and will likely sell for much more than that. 

We encourage sellers not to short themselves by allowing OLPS to sell their site. Remember, when listing with OLPS, the $6,000 transfer fee will be avoided.
