What to Know Before Buying at Dye Estates

1. Confirm ICW waterfront lot status and dock rights before making an offer — Gray Heron Drive ICW-fronting lots have dock rights but dock construction requires permitting. Confirm dock rights, existing dock status, and any permitting requirements for any specific waterfront lot during due diligence. Learn about the offer and due diligence process in South Carolina →

2. Confirm Dye Club membership status — membership may be attached to the home as a conveyed asset or may require new activation. Confirm which scenario applies to any specific listing and confirm current initiation fees and monthly dues during due diligence.

3. Pre-approval at the right loan level is essential — most Dye Estates single-family purchases require jumbo financing well above conventional loan limits. Have your jumbo financing completely clear with an underwriter's pre-approval — not just a pre-qualification — before making offers. Get pre-approved for your Dye Estates purchase →
