Who you'll work with
Ibex isn't licensed in South Carolina, so we don't make loans here. When you request a quote for a South Carolina property, we refer you to an independent mortgage lender licensed in South Carolina. That lender sets your rate and terms and handles your loan. We may receive a referral fee, which doesn't change what you pay.

Veterans should look at VA loans, and buyers outside major metro areas may qualify for USDA zero-down financing.
