Family owned, from a military family
MalBuysHouses Nationwide is a family business. My father served in Vietnam, and my brothers and uncles served as well. My family is part of this work now, and we all grew up with one rule: tell people the truth and keep your word.
Malachi Cooper (Mal), founder
What sellers say about working with Mal
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"
Our promise to you
Four things you can count on when you sell to us
Mal is your contact throughout the sale, from your first call through closing. We make these four promises for every house we buy.
The number holds
Your settlement statement will show the price we agreed to if the property is as you described it by phone. If we find a major issue during the walkthrough that you had not mentioned, we explain the difference to you before proceeding.
A contract you can read
We use plain English in our purchase agreement. Bring it home for your family to read. Before signing, ask us to explain any part you have questions about.
You pick the date
On our first call, let us know when you need to close. If that date will not work for us, we tell you during that call. You will know before making a commitment.
An honest answer, even when it costs us the sale
We tell you when selling through an agent would bring you more money. A cash sale does not suit everyone. We want you to hear that from us.
Upstate, Midlands or the coast, we buy it as-is.
Maybe it's a Spartanburg mill house you inherited, a Sumter rental after your last tenant moved out, or a house near the coast with roof damage you don't want to fix. We buy South Carolina houses the way they are and handle the repairs and the cleanout ourselves.
Tell Mal where the house is and what's going on. If the house belongs to several heirs, or the taxes are behind, mention it. If you live out of state, someone you trust can let us in.
Mal gives you a cash offer, FREE, and explains how he got to it. Our first offer is our last offer. You pay no realtor fees and no closing costs. Compare it with listing, and pick what leaves you better off.
When you accept, the terms go in writing and a South Carolina closing attorney handles the paperwork. We close in 30 days or less, or on a later date that gives you time to move.

Four questions, about a minute
What should you do with your South Carolina house?
Tell us a little about the house and your timing, and we will show you which options fit yours. Then, if you would like a cash offer, you can request one in one more step.
Question 1 of 4
What's going on with the house?
South Carolina sellers ask us these
Straight answers, no sales pitch.
The 6% tax on a house you don't live in
South Carolina taxes your home at a 4% assessment ratio only when it is your legal residence. Every other house, including a rental, a house you moved out of, or a parent's house nobody lives in now, is taxed at 6%. That is half again as much tax on the same value.
So an inherited house that sits empty costs more to hold every year. Add insurance and upkeep on a place nobody uses, and families often end up paying to keep a house they never wanted.
If that's where you are, we can buy the house as it sits. Leave what you don't want, and stop paying the 6% bill.
Selling heirs' property in South Carolina
A lot of South Carolina family land has been handed down without a will, sometimes for generations. That is heirs' property, and it is common in the Lowcountry. The Center for Heirs' Property Preservation estimates more than 108,000 acres of it in the 15 counties it serves.
When a house is owned by every heir, selling it usually takes everyone agreeing, and a South Carolina attorney working out who owns what. That can feel impossible when the cousins are spread across the country.
We have the patience for that. Mal will talk with the family, and the closing attorney sorts out the title. If every heir signs, we buy the house as it is and split the payment the way the attorney says.
How a cash sale closes in South Carolina
South Carolina requires a licensed South Carolina attorney to oversee a real estate closing. That protects you. The attorney checks the title, pays off your loan and any liens, and records the deed.
You don't hire or pay that attorney when you sell to us. We cover the closing costs. Mal will tell you which attorney's office is handling the file, and you can call them with questions at any point.
Where we buy across South Carolina
We buy in Columbia, Charleston, North Charleston, Greenville, Spartanburg, Rock Hill and the Myrtle Beach area. We also buy in Florence, Sumter, Anderson, Orangeburg and the smaller towns in between.
Columbia and Sumter see a steady stream of military moves from Fort Jackson and Shaw Air Force Base. Along the coast, from the Lowcountry to the Grand Strand, storm damage and second homes the family stopped using are common calls. In the Upstate, it's older mill houses and inherited homes that need everything.
