I wrote this book because South Carolina is one of the few states that requires that an attorney conduct the real estate closing rather than a title company. Even so, contracts for the purchase and sale of real estate are most often signed well before the closing attorney is chosen. Sometimes those contracts contain ambiguous or conflicting terms that mean one thing to the buyer and another to a seller which can make the otherwise exciting event turn sour. If you are buying a house in South Carolina, do yourself a favor an read this book before you decide to sign on the dotted line.
