What should I know before hiring a private detective in Pickens County?
Most records that matter in Pickens County are kept at the county level: court files with the clerk, and deeds with the county recorder or register of deeds. A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.

Can I verify a landlord, roommate or new acquaintance in Clemson University?
Yes. A background investigation confirms identity and checks relevant public records. Use for tenant screening or employment must follow the Fair Credit Reporting Act; personal-safety research is handled differently.
