How Taylored Realty Team serves Sumter
Taylored Realty Team's Terry and Yolanda Taylor are both Military Relocation Professionals, which matters in a city built around Shaw Air Force Base. We plan purchases around report dates, connect buyers with lenders who handle VA loans often, and check drive times to Shaw from each home rather than assuming them.
Much of Sumter's home buying and selling does not run through the Columbia-area MLS we work from, so we pull current comps for any Sumter home you are considering instead of quoting area-wide numbers. Ask us for a pricing analysis.
Sumter homes by ZIP code
29150, central and downtown: older cottages, brick ranches, and traditional homes near downtown, plus newer subdivisions like Timberline Meadows. Heritage, character, and walkable access to downtown are what buyers come here for.
29153, east and north: traditional single-story homes, newer construction such as Beach Forest, and some properties with larger lots.
29154, west and south: brick ranches, two-story homes, and newer subdivisions, along the routes toward Shaw Air Force Base.
Neighborhoods inside the same ZIP code can differ a lot, so we compare specific streets and subdivisions, not just ZIP codes.
Around Sumter
Swan Lake Iris Gardens and the Sumter Opera House are local landmarks, and downtown has shops and events through the year. School assignment is set by address, so we confirm it for each home.
