Our Florence O’Connor Group

Florence grew up as a railroad crossroads, and that history still shapes the city: a walkable downtown with the historic Florence Railroad Museum, the Drs. Bruce and Lee Foundation Library and gardens, and neighborhoods that range from stately homes near Downtown’s Historic District to newer subdivisions out toward the growing north side. As a regional hub for the Pee Dee area, Florence draws buyers relocating for healthcare jobs at McLeod Health, one of the region’s largest employers, as well as retirees and families drawn to the area’s lower cost of living compared to Charleston or Columbia.

GO Mortgage works with buyers across Florence County, from first-time buyers near downtown to families settling into newer neighborhoods off Second Loop Road. We understand how healthcare and hospital-system employment affects income documentation for buyers relocating here, how South Carolina’s property tax structure benefits owner-occupied buyers, and how Florence’s affordability keeps a lot of buyers well under conforming loan limits, making conventional and FHA financing the norm rather than the exception.

Whether you need a conventional loan, FHA, VA, or a non-QM option for self-employed buyers, our local loan officers know Florence, not just the comps.
