FINDING THE RIGHT REALTOR IS KEY
To get the best value, we suggest you find a local realtor who is intimately familiar with the county. One such realtor is Patrick ONeill of Realty One Group Dockside.
Patrick started his real estate career in 1988 managing rental properties with his mom. His team knows Horry County.
For the past decade, more than 8,100 people moved into Horry County every year. Those numbers continue to accelerate.
Many of those homeowners experienced a post purchase disappointment, because they failed to choose a knowledgeable realtor.
As Patrick Oneill says, “Why sit in Traffic? Call Patrick.”
