About North Carolina
Selling a house in North Carolina
Raleigh is North Carolina's capital, and Charlotte is its largest city, followed by Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, and Winston-Salem. Charlotte is a major banking center, the Research Triangle around Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill concentrates universities and tech and life-sciences employers, and the state runs from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Outer Banks.
North Carolina is home to about 11,046,024 people across 100 counties. We buy houses in every one of them, from Wake County, Mecklenburg County, Guilford County, and Forsyth County to the smallest rural counties, and in cities like Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, Winston-Salem, and Fayetteville.
Its economy runs on banking and financial services, technology and life sciences, manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare and military. Major employers include Bank of America, Lowe's, Duke Energy, Truist, Nucor, and Honeywell, and the state is home to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University, and North Carolina State University. Visitors know it for Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway, Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and Biltmore Estate.
North Carolina's housing skews mixed in age: 34% of homes predate 1980, and 33% of households rent. About 13% of homes stand empty. Whatever its age, we buy a house as-is, with no repairs or cleaning. Rentals sell with tenants in place, and we pay the closing costs.
Selling a house in North Carolina closes through a title company, which records the deed with the county and settles any liens or back taxes from the sale. Official information is on the state's portal, NC.gov, and property tax questions go to the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
