Cash offer on your Aiken house in any condition. We are the buyer, not an agent, so there are no commissions and no repairs.
Aiken is the slowest market we work in, and by a wide margin. Homes here take about 76 days to go under contract at a median near $309,000 — more than double Lexington's 34 days. That is not a broken market, it is a seasonal one: Aiken runs on horse season and retirement buyers, and both arrive on their own schedule. If your house is lovely and you can wait, wait. If you need to be out before Christmas, 76 days to contract means you are listing in September to close in the new year, and that maths does not work for everyone.
Aiken County runs deeds and probate out of the Government Center at 1930 University Parkway — the Register of Deeds is in Suite 2100, and the Probate Court is in the same building on 803-642-1715. Aiken has a lot of property held by people who retired here from somewhere else, which throws up a specific problem: out-of-state heirs, an estate that has to be opened in South Carolina regardless of where the family lives, and nobody local to walk paperwork across town. We deal with that arrangement often.
Aiken County runs its delinquent tax sale once a year, generally in November. On a 76-day market that timing is unforgiving: if you are behind on taxes in September, a conventional listing very likely does not close before the sale. That is the situation where a cash close is not about convenience, it is about whether you keep any equity at all.
We buy across Aiken — the downtown historic streets, Woodside, Cedar Creek and out around Gem Lakes. Aiken's older housing carries the usual century-home problems, and its newer golf-community stock carries the opposite problem: HOA arrears and dues that keep accruing on an empty house. Both are fine with us.
