Selling a House in North Carolina: What to Know

• Disclosure statement. North Carolina requires most sellers to give buyers the Residential Property and Owners’ Association Disclosure Statement. Sellers can mark “no representation” on many items, but cannot lie about known problems.
• Excise tax. North Carolina charges an excise tax on deeds, typically paid by the seller. When you sell to us, we pay the normal closing costs.
• Foreclosure hearings. Most North Carolina foreclosures use a power of sale, but there is a hearing before the clerk of superior court before a sale can happen. That hearing is an important point to know your options.
• Estates go through the clerk. North Carolina estates are handled by the clerk of superior court in each county. If heirs sell inherited property within two years of the death, the personal representative often needs to be involved because of creditor rights.

Why North Carolina Sellers Call Us

We often hear from families settling an estate, owners who relocated and are carrying two homes, and landlords with older rentals. If the house needs work or you cannot be there in person, a direct sale can keep things simple.
