How buying works here
Look around — no strings
Search every home for sale across our five counties, on a list or a map. No sign-up, no one calling you because you looked.
Get pre-approved
A lender's pre-approval tells you what you can comfortably spend, and sellers expect one with any serious offer.
Meet your agent
In North Carolina, you'll sign a written buyer agreement with an agent before touring homes together. We'll walk you through exactly what it says — in plain English — before you sign anything.
See homes and make an offer
Your agent pulls the recent sales, tells you what they'd offer and why, and writes it up. You decide.
Due diligence
NC contracts give you a due diligence period for inspections, insurance quotes, appraisal and anything else you need to check. The due diligence fee and earnest money work differently — worth understanding before you offer.
Closing
Your agent stays with you through repairs, appraisal and the closing table.
