Real Estate
Let Our South Carolina Attorneys Handle All Of Your Real Estate Needs
The buying, selling, and leasing of property can be a complicated business and far too many people decide to forgo the services of an attorney when conducting a real estate transaction. At Hite & Stone, we are committed to treating our real estate clients’ best interests as our highest priority. Whether you are the buyer, seller, landlord, or tenant, our attorneys will represent your interests and ensure that your rights are protected under the law.
What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?
While a real estate agent can help you find the right property, a real estate lawyer will make sure that your obligations are clearly defined and that your rights are upheld in any kind of real estate transaction. Hiring a lawyer to represent you will protect you against fraudulent titles, dishonest property lines, unfair contracts or leases, and much more.
Our real estate attorneys can help you with all of the following:
-
Buying or selling a home. The process of buying and selling real estate involves a series of contracts including a brokerage contract, purchase agreement, and sales contract. Your attorney will review all contracts before you sign them so that you are protected from dishonest real estate agents, buyers, and sellers. Your attorney will also review the title search for accuracy and write a title insurance policy to protect you from title mistakes.
-
Landlord and tenant laws. As either a landlord or a tenant, you want to make sure your lease is fair and legally binding. Consulting with our real estate team can ensure that your legal rights are protected when renting a property.
For many people, buying or selling property is the biggest financial transaction they will ever make. Don’t risk your hard-earned money by failing to consult a real estate attorney during the process.

Two Generations of Legal Advocates
When Hite & Stone founder, Thomas E. Hite, Jr., was first admitted to the South Carolina bar back in 1978, his daughter’s life was just beginning. Two decades later, Heather Hite Stone joined her father in the family business, and was followed shortly after by her brother. Hite and Stone writes title insurance for their clients through Commonwealth Title Company. Anne Marie Hempy is a licensed title agent and is ready to help you with your real estate matters.
The values and work ethic that Mr. Hite passed down to the next generation continue to drive everything we do. For trusted, experienced, and reliable real estate legal services in Abbeville, SC, look no further than Hite & Stone.
