05 · Questions first?
Ask Valanything.
Val knows what Dwell publishes about how it runs rentals, and each town’s rules. Anything it doesn’t know, it hands to the team. When you’re ready, it can set up the assessment too.
Rather text a person? Text us at 843-442-7992.
Hi, I’m Val. To set up Dwell’s free assessment I’ll ask, one at a time:
- Where the property is, down to the street
- How many bedrooms
- Whether it's rented today, and who manages it
- Your name, phone and email
- Your OK to pass it to Dwell, and a good time for their call
Then we pass it to Dwell’s owner team.
Selling or buying a rental?
Talk to a licensed agent.
Mike Olson
Licensed South Carolina real estate agent with eXp Realty · licensed since 2004
Selling a rental
Mike lists it. Because he's a licensed agent, Dwell will build a detailed income projection for the listing at no cost: month-by-month income, three occupancy scenarios, owner expenses and cash flow. Buyers see real numbers, and it can go in the MLS.
Buying a rental
Mike represents you on the purchase. After closing, he can introduce you to Dwell for management, starting with their free assessment.
If you sell or buy with Mike, he's paid as your agent. If you then sign with Dwell for management, Dwell also pays a referral fee through his brokerage. eXp Realty is not affiliated with Dwell Vacation Rentals.
