Scott and his team are professional, knowledgeable, courteous & sincere. Scott was recommended to us by a friend and we could not be happier with their service. Scott's team was always on top of all closing aspects of the closing. Scott made the closing very relaxing and explained all questions that we had. Joe sat under me and was a joy to hang with. My wife and I would recommend Scott and his staff to anyone that is in the business of buying and selling a home.

We went here to sign the closing documents on our first house. I went in expecting it to take a while to read all the papers before signing them, but Scott gave each page a very good description so we knew exactly what all was included in the documents. We left the office more confident about the whole process due to his knowledge and his ability to explain everything in understandable terms. Scott and his staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend.

What a great experience......Scott and his staff truly nailed it! Professional, super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Our questions and concerns were answered immediately. Such a unique, comfortable atmosphere....who doesn't want to eat their favorite childhood candy while scratching Joe's ears?lol. (Scott's dog). Just got our wallpaper in, Scott. Will send pictures as we get this house decorated!!! Again, thank you for making this stressful experience so enjoyable!
It was wonderful. Every person associated with this office was friendly, helpful and professional. I have no problem recommending this office for their legal matters.

The best experience I have ever had meeting with a lawyer and his sidekick "Joe". Scott was easy to understand, had all of the details in plain English, a comfortable office with a four legged friend who loved attention and had us on our way within an hours time. I would give Scott B. Umstead, and Joe, a three thumbs recommendation for his services. Thank you again Scott for everything!!!

We used Scott's firm for our house purchase in Little River, SC. The team communicated excellently all through the process and answered every question promptly! The closing was well prepared and Scott explained everything and tabbed our documents for future reference on items that would be beneficial to us. Well done and thanks for guiding us through the buying process in South Carolina !!

Recently, I moved to SC and chose Scott's office to handle my Real Estate closing. Though I've been through several closings in other states, SC laws were quite different. Alyssa did a great job of preparing me for my appointment. On the day of my closing, I found Scott to be very personable. Scott did a great job of explaining the documents to me during my closing. I really felt as though he had my best interest at heart. I never felt rushed to sign a document and felt as though I was his only priority at that time. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a Law Office in Myrtle Beach.

I was very nervous about helping my mother sell her property in Myrtle Beach because I live in Atlanta and she lives in Florida. That's 3 states and I think the buyer lived in Ohio. Scott B Umstead P.A. made it all seamless and kept me updated from day one to closing. It went off without a single snafu. I've moved several times personally and closed on several properties and this is the smoothest transaction I have ever enjoyed. I would highly recommend Scott B Umstead P.A. to friends and family for any similar transaction they may be endeavoring upon.You can rest assured it will be done expeditiously and efficiently.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure to receive legal advise from Attorney Scott Umstead and his Litigation Paralegal Michelle Zalucky regarding a landlord/tenant problem. They were very professional, well-organized, understanding, friendly, easy to talk to, swift in their actions, and willing to go the extra mile in addressing our dilemma. Attorney Umstead’s years of experience and knowledge of landlord/tenant law resulted in extremely helpful advice which saved us money, reduced our anxiety, and arrived at an amicable solution. We were very fortunate to find Scott’s law firm after he was highly recommended by our agent. We will continue to use Scott when the need arises, and highly recommend his law firm to others in need.

Mr Umsteads office is a home buyers relief. The difficulty in understanding all of the fine print is emence, his office and staff take out all of the worry. They immediately have your back in explaining and executing difficult decisions, right down to closing, which was so easy and quick, that we had time for personal banter. The one thing I worry about is his lack of southern rock memorabilia. Who listens or reads Dylan any more. You will especially appreciate Joe Umsteads presence for his calming and soothing nature. You can not go wrong with Umstead Law firm.

My wife and I chose Scott's office to close on our condo recently just because it was the first attorney recommended by our realtor. I honestly didn't think much of the decision because after all, we're just simply signing papers. I have been through the process in the past, but never have I experienced a closing where I will actually remember what happened at the closing a few years down the road. Scott was incredibly friendly and accommodating the moment we walked in the door. He asked us repeatedly if we had any questions about the process or any of the numbers involved. He told us multiple times he would slow down during the process if we wished. Not only was he extremely helpful, but he was very interested in us personally. He asked my wife where she was from upon seeing her name and then went on to ask about how my wife and I met, as he was genuinely interested about us. Our entire experience was incredible from the first phone call we received from his office. All of the staff reflected upon the attentiveness of Scott. No question who we will use for our future real estate acquisitions. Would recommend time and time again!

From blindly picking a closing attorney to the actual closing, everyone in Scott's office was wonderful. Debbie Rose was so nice and friendly, making you feel as if you have known her forever. When we first walked in to Scott Umstead's office it was fascinating. The décor was so different and unusual. It was really fun waiting those few minutes before we closed. The couple before us came out and behind them was a beautiful dog. Come to find out he was a rescue that Scott had saved. His name was Joe. He was so precious. He layed at my feet during the entire closing. Scott was so thorough, explaining everything, patiently answering questions, making sure we signed in the correct spot. I really felt at home and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Scott B. Umstead's office and Joe. Lynn Burnette

I have a few important words to pass along to you about the Scott B. Umstead law firm. Whenever I call them, the phone is answered quickly, certainly in two or three rings. The person who answers is always friendly and professional. She transfers me to the proper individual who is the same friendly and professional individual. All of the paperwork is done in a timely manner; if there are any changes/discrepancies (rare), they are quickly and accurately handled. Mr. Umstead comes into the conference room in a timely manner. He is kind and patient and walks you through all the documents. He answers all questions in a knowing and professional manner. He will even go beyond the required and provide helpful advice, such as saving money by establishing South Carolina residency or taking advantage of the Homestead Exemption. Nice ! Thank you so much for that. When the documents are completed, Mr. Umstead makes certain that all your questions have been answered. You feel confident. You feel that your matter has been handled properly and that you are important to the law firm. If someone asked me to give one word to describe Mr. Umstead and his law firm, I would say PROFESSIONAL. I choose not to go anywhere else.

We only had a very few minutes of "wait time" when we arrived, even though we were a few minutes early. Very soon, Scott and his "shadow" Joe, the dog, greeted us and we were welcomed into Scott"s office. Scott immediately made us feel at ease and a bit of "small talk" ensued before the actual "closing" took place. In a matter of minutes, we were finished and I had a couple of questions about how hurricane Matthew "clean up" at Bay Watch was handled and billed. Scott informed me that several suits against Resort Association Management and Interstate Remediation had been filed and he was kind enough to tell me how to pursue my claim against the above parties. In closing, we were very pleased with the way everything was handled and would highly recommend Scott to anyone!

What a delightful day, Thursday,May 30, was for our recent closing on our new home in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We had the pleasure of meeting Scott B. Umstead, PA, who gave us his undivided attention and expertise in guiding us through the halls of South Carolina Real Estate.
Punctual, organized, and passionate about providing answers to our concerns, Mr. Umstead took time to recap after the completion of the documents.He provided copies and helpful hints for Horry County requirements for address changes, future taxes, and other pertinent facts.
We were impressed by the calm demeanor of his associate, Joe, a stately canine companion, who presented himself with a quiet, reserved presence. Joe welcomed the interactions of our mutual affection for dogs.
In closing, the office decor was so relaxing and enjoyable as well as the music that was shared. It was truly an unexpected, relaxing experience. With pleasure, we would recommend Scott B. Umstead, PA, for his legal Expertise. With kindest regards , G.Wayne and Donna C. Allen

On the occasion of closing on the purchase of our new home in South Carolina, we met our exceptionally talented real estate agent, Olivia Leskowski. As we entered the office of Real Estate Lawyer, Scott B. Umstead, we were pleasantly surprised. We were warmly greeted by the lawyer's office assistant at the front desk. The décor was strikingly stunning, in red, black, and white. The office atmosphere set us at ease. Upon meeting Mr. Umstead, we found him to be welcoming and personable. He explained the documents to us patiently, pleasantly, and thoroughly. He was professional, yet happy for me, Barbara, I was "so excited about buying our home." My husband, Johnny, is a USMC veteran. Therefore, Mr. Umstead put special effort in recognizing that fact. He gave Johnny a handsome USMC pin of commendation. We were especially touched when Mr. Scott Umstead chose to give us one of his Courtesy Cards. Knowing that we may call on him for any legal help, means so much to us. We are not alone; though we are new to Longs, South Carolina. We have a Friend. Sincerely, Johnny & Barbara Griffith

We have used Scott Umstead for three house closings and will alway use Scott and his team whenever we deal with real estate. We were kept informed each step of the way by Debbie, and Shellie and everytime we had a question about the process Shellie always had the answer for peace of mind. When we sat down to sign at closing Scott made it simple and explained every pieces of paper we signed. Scott and his team made our closings stress free. Thank you Scott and your team Tom and Brenda Hogan

Since we didn't know any local attorney's, Scott was recommended to us by Kevin Mills, our real estate agent. From the first communication until closing, the interaction and communication Scott's team provided was excellent. The closing with Scott was organized, quick, and he answered any concerns I had. The icing on the cake was Joe, Scott's dog, attended the closing and didn't seem to mind that I was playing with one of is toys. Scott and the entire staff (especially Joe) made me feel "at home". I will not hesitate to use Scott in the future and will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs his services

Scott and his staff were a pleasure to work with! We were first-time home buyers, and Scott made us feel at ease at the closing table. He took his time and explained everything in an easy-to-understand way. Highly recommend him! Also, we loved the stylish décor in his swanky office that had a unique and eclectic vibe.

I was so happy to find the right attorney for my real estate needs. Not having much experience with the ins and outs of buying and selling real estate, the staff in Scott's office made the experience so easy. They walked me through each step of the process and answered all of my questions quickly and professionally. They were patient when I didn't understand some of the deatils and I never felt left out of the loop at any time. Thank you!

We've had a couple condo closings in the past year; the one we had at Mr. Umstead's was the best and smoothest we have experienced. The entire staff is efficient and friendly. Scott is great; felt like a friend at first meeting. Will definitely use this office for all our other needs.

Scott was very informative and made the first time Home buying process more fun than I expected! Not only was he professional and punctual, but was able to lighten the mood while I signed all the papers. His dog was just as welcoming as he was during the entire home buying process. The office is incredibly designed, too!

We used Scott Umstead and his firm for a residential Realestate closing. Scott Umstead and Kim were impeccable in rendering their services. As our advocate they represented our interests comprehensively. They were prompt and were excellent communicators. Without any doubt, we would use them again for similar transactions and we would highly recommend them.

Recently I sold my house in Myrtle Beach and Scott Umstead was my attorney. Having very little experience in such matters I did not know what to expect. However, Mr. Umstead and his staff made it a very easy and pleasant process! From the moment I walked into his office I could sense the warm friendly atmosphere. From day one everyone was a pleasure to deal with. On closing day Mr. Umstead had everything in perfect order and patiently explained everything to me. Not only did he professionally handle everything he was also very easy to talk to and made me feel at ease. I enjoyed very much speaking with him and meeting his dog Joe. I would certainly without hesitation recommend Scott Umstead to anyone needing an attorney. You will get high quality professionalism with good old fashion friendly service!!! Thank you and your staff, L. Smithberger

Smooth Closing from the Seller's Side of the Table! From the first contact, the staff at Scott Umstead's law office saw that everything needed to make our closing smooth was in hand. Crystal and Debbie stayed in touch throughout the closing process to be certain that I was aware of where things stood. Scott supervised the signing and answered questions about recording and payout. I'd recommend Scott Umstead and his staff.

His office is warm and inviting as soon as you walk in, making you feel at home. Also meeting Scott's son Joseph was a pleasure, I'm glad he joined in on our meeting.
Thank you again for all your help.
We wouldn’t dream of using another attorney for our Real Estate needs!
The level of integrity, efficiency, knowledge and availability is unsurpassed; And ..all this is coupled with very down to earth approach and a great sense of humor !
Definitely recommend and highly encourage everyone to use Scott’s service!
1 to 10 - a 10!
Debbie Rose was so nice and friendly, making you feel as if you have known her forever.
When we first walked in to Scott Umstead's office it was fascinating. The décor was so different and unusual. It was really fun waiting those few minutes before we closed. The couple before us came out and behind them was a beautiful dog. Come to find out he was a rescue that Scott had saved. His name was Joe. He was so precious. He layed at my feet during the entire closing. Scott was so thorough, explaining everything, patiently answering questions, making sure we signed in the correct spot. I really felt at home and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Scott B. Umstead's office and Joe.

Whenever I call them, the phone is answered quickly, certainly in two or three rings. The person who answers is always friendly and professional. She transfers me to the proper individual who is the same friendly and professional individual. All of the paperwork is done in a timely manner; if there are any changes/discrepancies (rare), they are quickly and accurately handled. Mr. Umstead comes into the conference room in a timely manner. He is kind and patient and walks you through all the documents. He answers all questions in a knowing and professional manner. He will even go beyond the required and provide helpful advice, such as saving money by establishing South Carolina residency or taking advantage of the Homestead Exemption. Nice ! Thank you so much for that. When the documents are completed, Mr. Umstead makes certain that all your questions have been answered. You feel confident. You feel that your matter has been handled properly and that you are important to the law firm. If someone asked me to give one word to describe Mr. Umstead and his law firm, I would say PROFESSIONAL. I choose not to go anywhere else.
Thank you Scott! We look forward to seeing you soon!
From our first contact with Sarah who introduced us to the firm and the process, to Crystal who’s responsibilities included gathering the appropriate documentation, and finally to Stacey who managed the financials and closing process we were treated professionally and respectfully.
We wouldn’t hesitate to work with The Ulmstead Law Firm for any of our real estate needs.
Thanks to all for a job well done...
All secure emails sent by Crystal answered all of our questions and were easy to understand. The "Fifteen Things to Know" information sheet was she sent us was an awesome resource. My husband and I closed by mail and when our packet arrived it was color-coded, tabbed, and highlighted with easy to read instructions - thank you Kim!
We have started he process of closing on the sale of our house and are looking forward to working with Crystal and Kim again. With their great communication, follow through and organization skills we know this will be another stress-free closing!
Thanks Scott for having a great team!
Very soon, Scott and his "shadow" Joe, the dog, greeted us and we were welcomed into Scott"s office.
Scott immediately made us feel at ease and a bit of "small talk" ensued before the actual "closing" took place.
In a matter of minutes, we were finished and I had a couple of questions about how hurricane Matthew "clean up" at Bay Watch was handled and billed.
Scott informed me that several suits against Resort Association Management and Interstate Remediation had been filed and he was kind enough to tell me how to pursue my claim against the above parties.
In closing, we were very pleased with the way everything was handled and would highly recommend Scott to anyone!

Anyone that has gone through a closing and the paperwok involved, must know how "overwhelming" it can be.
Having said that, I just want to compliment and thank Scott and his entire staff on making this important step in our lives, a very smoooth and informative transition, start to finish!! They were there for any questions or concerns we may have had, and we are greatful! Would highly recommend their services.
We were VERY fortunate to work with Scott and his staff in closing on a home. It’s always the final step in a closing and you always hope it is smooth, without stress and the results are as you hope. With Scott, it was all of those things and more. We could not have been a smoother process. We would go to him any chance we have. And his thoroughness was amazing. Thank you Scott and your team!!!!

Scott was very personable and made our closing an enjoyable experience.
My wife and I would highly recommended Scott and his team for your real estate needs. We will be see them again soon on our next real estate transaction.
Scott along with Crystal, Dawn and the rest of the team made what can be a stressful time really easy. They are professional, knowledgeable (my property was a 1031 exchange), and ready to quickly respond to your needs.
I highly recommend Scott Umstead and his team to be your real estate attorney of choice.
