To understand the benefits of working with a mortgage broker, you must first understand their role in the home-buying process.

What Does a Mortgage Broker Do?

Your mortgage broker is a third party that works to connect you with mortgage lenders. Essentially, a mortgage broker works as an intermediary between a person who wants to buy a home and the entities offering loans to buy a home. The mortgage broker works with both the borrower and lender to get the borrower approved. They also verify and collect paperwork from the borrower that the lender needs to finish a home purchase. Typically, mortgage brokers have relationships with several home loan lenders. Mission One Mortgage, for example, has access to 50 different lenders, which gives us a wide range of home loans in Cane Bay, SC, from which to choose.

In addition to finding a home loan lender, your mortgage broker will help you settle on the best loan options and interest rates for your budget. Ideally, your mortgage broker will take a great deal of stress and legwork off your plate while also potentially saving you money.

Help with the Pre-Approval Process

If you're ready to buy a home, getting pre-qualified is a great choice that will streamline the entire process. Your mortgage broker makes getting pre-approved easy by obtaining all the documents needed to get you pre-qualified. In taking a look at your application, they will determine if you're ready for the pre-approval process. If your application needs additional items, the mortgage company will help point you in the right direction to ensure your application is as strong as it can be. Your mortgage broker will also walk you through the different types of loans, from Conventional and FHA to VA and USDA.

In order to be pre-approved for a home in South Carolina, you must have the following:

  • Two Years of W2 Forms
  • 30 Days of Pay Stubs from Employer
  • 60 Days of Bank Statements
  • A Valid Driver's License

Conventional Mortgages

Conventional loans can be used to purchase a new home or refinance your current one. Conventional loans include fixed-rate mortgages and adjustable-rate mortgages. Generally, borrowers must put down a 3% down payment for owner-occupants, 10% for a vacation property, and 20% for an investment home. If you are able to pay 20% of the total cost of the home, you can avoid private mortgage insurance, which is otherwise required. Conventional mortgages are often preferred by buyers with good credit or people needing a non-owner-occupied mortgage.

FHA Loans

FHA mortgages are issued by the U.S. government and backed by the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). This loan is often preferred by first-time homebuyers because it only requires a 3.5% down payment and offers more flexibility with credit requirements and underwriting standards. FHA loans have several requirements you must meet to qualify. Contact Mission One Mortgage today to learn more about FHA loans and whether or not they're best for your financial situation.

USDA Loans

Also backed by the government, these loans are insured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and don't require money down. These loans have lower insurance requirements when compared to FHA loans, offer 100% financing if you qualify, and allow for closing costs to be covered by the seller. In order to qualify for a USDA loan, you must live in a rural area, and your household income must meet certain standards. These loans are often preferred by low-income citizens who live in rural parts of South Carolina.

Veteran Mortgages

Also known as VA or Veteran's Affairs loans, these mortgages are reserved for the brave men and women who served in the military. VA loans help provide our military members, veterans, and their families with favorable loan terms and an easy home ownership experience. Often, those who qualify are not required to make a down payment on their home. Additionally, these loans often include less expensive closing costs.

If you are a veteran or the family member of a veteran, contact Mission One Mortgage today to speak with our Vetted VA Professional, Debbie Haberny. Debbie helps our military members, veterans, and their family members obtain home loans utilizing veteran benefits and would be happy to help as you search for a home.

Q. I was talking to my spouse about mortgage brokers, and they mentioned the phrase home loan originator. What's the difference between a broker and a loan originator?

A. The mortgage industry is full of confusing jobs and titles, making it easy to confuse roles and responsibilities. Such is the case with mortgage brokers and home loan originators. Though their roles share similarities, a home loan originator in Cane Bay, SC, works for a bank or credit union, while a mortgage broker works for a brokerage company. Home loan originators and mortgage brokers are both licensed by the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS).

Q. I've heard from everyone that you must have mortgage insurance to buy a home. What is mortgage insurance?

A. Essentially, mortgage insurance helps protect lenders if a borrower forecloses on the home they bought. One advantage of mortgage insurance is that when borrowers pay it, lenders can often grant loans to buyers when they might not have otherwise. Though not always required to buy a home, mortgage insurance is often needed for down payments of less than 20%.

Q. I have just been pre-approved to buy a beautiful home in South Carolina. Is there anything I shouldn't do now that I'm pre-qualified?

A. Mortgage companies like Mission One Mortgage, make getting pre-qualified for a home easy. However, as your loan process continues, your lender is required to run a new credit report before closing on a home. For that reason, it's to avoid any activity that might affect your credit score, such as:

  • Do not become a co-signer on a loan with someone else.
  • Do not quit or change your job.
  • Do not apply for new credit cards, automobile loans, or any other lines of credit.
  • Do not use your credit card to pay for large purchases, like furniture for your new house.
  • Do not avoid payments on current lines of credit, loans, or utility bills.

Q. My brother-in-law recently refinanced his home in South Carolina. What is refinancing, and should I consider refinancing my home too?

A. Refinancing your home basically means you're swapping your current mortgage for a new one, most often with a lower interest rate. If you would like to reduce the term of your loan, lower your monthly mortgage payments, or consolidate debt, refinancing may be a smart option. Many homeowners also choose to refinance if they want to switch from adjustable-rate mortgages to fixed-rate mortgages or to get cash back for home renovations. To learn whether refinancing is a viable option for your situation, contact Mission One Mortgage ASAP, as loan rates change frequently.

Several hundred new homes planned in Charleston suburbs; new $2M townhomes on the way

More new houses are headed to a Berkeley County mega-development that’s projected to have more residents than the city of Spartanburg.

Starlight Homes, a division of Ashton Woods Homes, recently paid $5.4 million for 27 acres in the former Wildcat Tract that is now part of the expansive Cane Bay Plantation development off U.S. Highway 176. The seller was HIC Wildcat TH LLC of Miami, which bought the property 21 months ago for $5.07 million.

The development agreement for the entire Cane Bay parcel allows Starlight to build 169 townhomes on the property.

The Starlight property abuts a 45-acre corner parcel that Charleston developer Eddie Buck bought for $13 million last November through Buck Investments Limited Co. The undeveloped commercial tract sits at the future juncture of Fairwinds Drive at Highway 176.

Starlight’s website shows it has one subdivision in Cane Bay called Pender Woods. The company also is developing homes in Watson Hill in North Charleston off S.C. Highway 61 in Dorchester County, where it also purchased 40 lots for $3.13 million from New York-based Brookfield Holdings LLC.

About 10,000 homes are permitted for the 4,500-acre Cane Bay tract off U.S. Highway 176. The neighboring 2,000-acre Wildcat Tract was bought by Cane Bay developer Gramling Brothers Real Estate & Development in 2016 and will have 5,700 homes at build-out.

Cane Bay has more than 7,000 homes on the ground in the combined tracts, according to a spokeswoman. About half of the planned houses have been built in the developing unincorporated community that will have almost 40,000 residents at full buildout. That’s more than the current population of the city of Spartanburg, the state’s 12th largest municipality.

As timeshare pitches go, it was a blockbuster of a presentation that concluded with a $1.5 billion commitment from the purchaser.

In cash.

And without a lick of buyer’s remorse.

A pair of Florida-based companies that control nearly 1,800 weekly “interval ownership” units up and down the South Carolina coast agreed to combine their operations early last week.

Under the terms, Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. will acquire rival Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corp. for $75-a-share in a deal that’s expected to close by the middle of next year. The $1.5 billion transaction value includes existing debt the buyer will take on.

The deal is poised to deliver a big payday for investors of Boca Raton-based Bluegreen. The stock, which had been trading in the $35 range, more than doubled after Monday’s announcement.

The timeshare tie-up will combine two hospitality industry veterans that operate leisure getaways in popular tourist destinations ranging from downtown Charleston to the Las Vegas Strip.

“This acquisition gives us the unique opportunity to create the industry leader in vacation ownership and experiential travel,” Hilton Grand CEO Mark Wang told investors and financial analysts during a conference call last week.

He said the purchase is “one more critical piece of the strategic journey of expansion and diversification” that the Orlando-based company began two years ago, when it bought luxury timeshare operator Diamond Resorts International for $1.4 billion.

Wang said Bluegreen “has a strong track record of demonstrated organic growth” and a loyal customer base of more than 200,000 members. It also has developed “key lead-generating strategic partnerships that will broaden our reach and diversify our tour flow,” he added.

Once the sale is finalized, Hilton Grand’s membership base will swell to more than 740,000 owners, and its real estate portfolio will expand by 48 properties to almost 200. Eleven of the resorts are near and in some cases on the Palmetto State coastline, with seven concentrated along the Grand Strand. The four others are in Charleston and on Hilton Head Island.

Berkeley County Investigating Sexual Assaults On Cane Bay Trail

Late Sunday afternoon, our media outlet received reports regarding a pair of alleged sexual assaults – or attempted sexual assaults – on a neighborhood trail in Sanctuary Cove, part of the sprawling Cane Bay community in Berkeley County, South Carolina.

Both victims were underage females. One of the victims was nearly raped, according to our sources.

After the second assault took place, one resident reached out to us expressing concern that local authorities were “telling exactly NO one that there is a potential serial offender assaulting young girls in Cane Bay.”

“They have no problem sending out headlines for every car that has been rummaged through or elderly person that went for a long walk and may be missing … but they don’t find it a good idea to warn people their daughters could be in harms way while on the trails?” the resident asked.

We reached out to our law enforcement sources first thing Monday morning. As our inquiries were making their way up the flagpole, the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) issued a news release at approximately 4:32 p.m. EST on Monday announcing it was investigating the two assaults – and searching for a specific suspect.

***

“On Monday, November 27 just after 8:00 p.m. (EST), Berkeley County dispatch received a call in reference to an assault,” the release noted. “Deputies arrived at the victim’s house to collect information and learned the victim was assaulted. The victim is a 14-year-old female. The victim described to investigators she was attacked from behind. Due to the way the victim was assaulted, she was unable to provide a description to investigators, initially. The investigation determined the victim was assaulted on the trails near Shadybrook Drive and Cane Bay Boulevard.”

The second incident was reported just five days later.

“On Saturday, December 2 just before 7:00 p.m., Berkeley County dispatch received a call in reference to an assault,” the release noted. “Deputies learned the victim was assaulted and dropped her phone during the incident. The victim is a 15-year-old female. The victim was able to get away from the assailant. Deputies located the victim’s phone on the trail behind Bella Vista Court. The victim was able to provide deputies with a description of the man who attacked her.”

According to the sheriff’s office, the suspect being sought in connection with the assault(s) is a “younger white male with facial hair” who has a skinny build and is approximately 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8 inches tall. BCSO is searching for this suspect with assistance from the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED).

“We are using every resource possible to identify a suspect and make an arrest,” sheriff Duane Lewis said. “Detectives are working around the clock to complete this investigation. We have also requested assistance from SLED. I am urging all parents and guardians to please not allow your children to walk alone on the trails at night. Please make sure you are aware of your surroundings.”

Lewis said his agency has increased patrols in the area as it continues to investigate the assaults and has asked Cane Bay neighbors to report any suspicious activity to Berkeley County dispatch at 843-719-4169.

While Charleston’s population is booming with new transplants, the Summerville and Goose Creek areas are developing just as quickly to accommodate the area’s growth.

Summerville is located roughly 45 minutes from Downtown Charleston, serving as the ideal location for folks who want to move close to the city without being directly in the middle of the excitement.

Goose Creek is only 35 minutes from Downtown Charleston and is seeing a demographic of young families who hope to live near the city while finding affordable housing and nearby employment.

In recent years, both Summerville and Goose Creek have expanded with the development of several master-planned communities that offer housing, lifestyle, retail, dining, outdoor recreation and so much more. These areas have also developed several new businesses, restaurants, workspaces and corporate offices.

As Goose Creek’s economy grows and thrives, many new projects and ventures are on the horizon in this Charleston community, specifically in Carnes Crossroads.

According to Post & Courier writer Barry Waldman’s piece about new development in Carnes Crossroads, Carnes is now co-owned by Lennar Builders and Boston-based Freehold Communities, with approval to build about 4,500 homes.

This community is technically only a quarter built, with new projects on the way, such as the concept of “agrihood,” a working farm and community gardens. Professional farmers will grow and supply produce, herbs and flowers to the community.

In September 2022, the city of Goose Creek announced a plan for growth in the community, including a walkable space for restaurants, offices and a green lawn for town events. Soon, this multi-planned community that is currently primarily residential with some outdoor amenities will expand to be more similar to larger communities like Cane Bay and Nexton.

While there are currently a few dining options available, like East Bay Deli, Steel City Pizza Co., and Mi Fiesta, plenty more options will be coming soon as well.

As for business development in Summerville’s large Nexton community, according to Warren L. Wise for the Post & Courier, Atelier Downtown Nexton is a new project coming soon to Nexton, planned by an affiliate of New Jersey-based Sharbell Development on 7.5 acres on Brighton Park Boulevard off of U.S. Highway 17A.

Located in the Nexton community, the project will include multiple two-story buildings up to 18,000 square feet. Office, service and commercial space will be for sale or lease.

In addition, The Hub in Nexton is expanding. This project is a collection of office and commercial buildings under development on Nexton Parkway and Brighton Park Boulevard, and new expansions will include commercial tenants Lombardi’s Pizza Kitchen, The Co-op Frosé & Eatery, The Backyard Biergarten, Lowcountry Yoga and children’s gym KidStrong.

Big things are also happening over at Cane Bay Plantation in Summerville. Buck Investments, led by Eddie Buck, recently paid $13 million for nearly 45 acres on the northwest corner of the future Fair Winds Boulevard intersection at U.S. Highway 176. The buildout of this section will happen over the next four years.

Cane Bay has also been selling multiple large parcels of land for new housing developments as it expands, and the community is now roughly the size of Spartanburg, South Carolina.

More growth and business developments are coming quickly for these three large, multi-planned communities that are shaping up to be more like cities in their own right.

Freshman quarterback Henry Rivers completed 15 of 31 passes for 207 yards and four touchdowns, adding a touchdown run as well, to lift the Stags to a win over their Berkeley County rivals.

NORTH CHARLESTON — High school basketball games in December do not carry the weight that region games in January do, but piling up wins and having success does wonders for a team’s confidence.

Summerville’s boys team expects to contend for the Class AAAAA state championship this season. So coach David Long is pushing his players to perform at a high level as they develop the right chemistry.

The Green Wave improved to 13-1 on the season with a 70-53 win over Cape Fear Academy of North Carolina in Friday’s day two action at the Lowcountry Roundball Showcase.

“These games this week are big for us,” Long said. “We have been able to pull together as a team and we’ve been getting it done, but now to be at full strength we get a chance to see what we can be. Having Yannick back is such a plus because of all the things he can do.”

Summerville was without star wing Yannick Smith for several games early on as he played deep into the football season and missed time on the court due to the Shrine Bowl all-star game. Smith paced Summerville with 15 points in Friday’s win.

Summerville won 25 games last year but lost to Goose Creek in the third-round of the Class AAAAA Lower State playoffs.

Joining Smith, the All-Lowcountry football player of the year, as a starter is junior guard Melvin Teal, also a returning all-state performer. Smith is averaging 19.3 points per game this season, while Teal is averaging 18.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.

“Everyone knows what Yannick can do and the level he plays at every night,” Long said. “Mel does things that effects winning way beyond the stats.”

Stepping into starting roles this season are Nasir Smith, Warren Nelson and KJ Brown. Long also likes his team’s depth and is using this week’s games to settle into a solid and consistent rotation.

Smith added 12 points and Teal scored nine in Friday’s win. Nelson chipped in eight points.

“We are still trying to figure out the right rotation with our depth,” Long said. “We are playing a lot of guys and that cures a lot of ills when guys know they can contribute. It’s been a roller coaster and the schedule has gotten a lot tougher. We’re coming together pretty well but we just have to focus on today. Teams get in trouble when they look ahead.”

Summervillle’s biggest non-region game of the season will take place on Tuesday when the Green Wave hosts No. 1 ranked Lexington in what should be a playoff-level showcase.

Long says Lexington will test his team in ways no other team has to this point. He says the focus remains improving, especially on defense.

“It’s definitely defense,” Long said. “We are athletic and sometimes we can get away with not being very disciplined. We have to clean up some rotations and assignments. We came out today and did a good job. We are capable of playing good defense but we have to work at it.”

The Lowcountry Roundball showcase features 17 teams at the North Charleston Athletic Center from Dec. 27-30. The event includes seven area high schools, including Summerville, Porter-Gaud, Goose Creek, First Baptist, Lucy Beckham, James Island and Northwood Academy.

The 13th annual Carolina Invitational tournament features 148 teams from several states playing at 14 local high school venues. The field includes varsity boys and girls teams as well as some junior varsity boys and girls teams.

Play began on Dec. 28 with games running all day for three consecutive days. Local sites include Ashley Ridge, Bishop England, Cane Bay, Burke, Cathedral, First Baptist, Fort Dorchester, James Island, Oceanside Collegiate, Palmetto Christian, Philip Simmons, Porter-Gaud, Stratford and Summerville.

Also, Burke is hosting the Modie Risher Classic from Dec. 28-30, named after the former Bulldogs coach. Six schools from across the state of South Carolina and teams from Pennsylvania and Georgia are participating in this year’s classic, including Byrnes, Ben Lippen, Colleton County, Eau Claire and Burke.

Cane Bay residents frustrated over spotty mail delivery

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – A family living in one Berkeley County community said they have not been receiving their mail on a regular basis, even after contacting postal officials. That’s when they reached out to News 2’s Raymond Owens.“We moved here about a year and a half ago and over the past year or so we have had problems with sporadic mail delivery,” said Cane Bay resident Tim Jacintho. “It doesn’t show up when it’s supposed to; it now has gotten to where we’re getting ma...

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – A family living in one Berkeley County community said they have not been receiving their mail on a regular basis, even after contacting postal officials. That’s when they reached out to News 2’s Raymond Owens.

“We moved here about a year and a half ago and over the past year or so we have had problems with sporadic mail delivery,” said Cane Bay resident Tim Jacintho. “It doesn’t show up when it’s supposed to; it now has gotten to where we’re getting mail maybe two or three days a week.”

He said a lot of people depend on the mail for prescription medications, Social Security checks, and other items. He said everyone is frustrated with the situation.

Jacintho said he and other Cane Bay residents have reached out to the Summerville Post Office with their concerns.

“She’s been telling me what’s going on- they’ve had a lot of turnover with contractors, and they’re shorthanded. She said that the growth in the Cane Bay/Nexton area, which they serve, has put too much stress on the post office. They don’t have the staff or the facility to handle it.”

He contacted Congressman Nancy Mace’s office, and his state representative and state senator. He has not heard back from them. He said Berkeley County Supervisor Johnny Cribb returned his message.

“He, like, within a few hours, and said no thanks for reporting it. He said he can’t really do anything. It’s at the federal level.

Finally, he reached out to News 2 for help.

“I reached out to you because certainly I’m frustrated with the situation here and I know that my fellow neighbors and residents are also very frustrated,” he said.

News 2’s Raymond Owens called Congresswoman Mace’s office. Their office called Jacintho back and told him they would look into the problem.

We also called the postal service – their spokeswoman said she is researching the issue to learn more and will get back to us. They later provided the following response:

“The Postal Service appreciates its customers and always strives to provide the best possible service. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been experienced by customers living in the Cane Bay and Nexton communities. Local management is currently working with all stakeholders to ensure any delivery concerns are resolved. We can confirm the Summerville Post Office, like many businesses, is experiencing staffing challenges; however, through successful hiring efforts we have increased our workforce significantly. The Postal Service will continue flexing our available resources to match the workload, in addition to hosting more hiring events until all positions are filled. Interested applicants should log on to http://usps.com/careers frequently to check for new postings. We appreciate the patience of our customers and the efforts of employees as conditions change on a day-to-day basis. We urge any customers with concerns or questions about their mail delivery service to contact their local Post Office, so that we can look into and resolve their concerns promptly. Customers may also visit our website at www.usps.com/help.”

News 2 will continue following this story and bring you updates as we learn more.
