What happens after you reach out
A direct sale should be simple to understand. Here is the full process, including the parts other companies tend to leave out.
Step 1: Tell us about the property
Share the basics through our short form or by phone. No preparation is needed.
Address, general condition, who is living there, and the timeline you have in mind. If you are not sure about something, say so. You can share as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
Step 2: We review the information
We look at the property, the neighborhood, and recent sales, and we may ask to schedule a walkthrough.
The review is done at no cost to you. A walkthrough, when one is needed, is a simple visit at a time that works for you. There is no need to clean, repair, or stage anything.
Step 3: We present an offer or explain other options
If the property fits our criteria, we present a clear, written, no-obligation offer. If it does not, we tell you plainly and share other paths that may fit better.
Not every property is a fit for a direct purchase, and we will not pretend otherwise. When we do make an offer, we walk through how we arrived at it and answer your questions. You are free to take time, get advice, or decline.
Step 4: You decide, and you choose the timeline
If you accept, we work with you on a closing schedule that fits your situation.
Closings in North Carolina are typically handled by a licensed closing attorney. We coordinate with the attorney and keep you updated. The timeline is set around what works for you, subject to title work and the closing attorney's schedule.
What a walkthrough involves
When a walkthrough is part of the review, it is a short visit, usually under an hour, at a time that works for you or a trusted contact. We look at the structure, roof, systems, and overall condition, and we take notes and photos for our own evaluation. You do not need to clean, repair, move anything, or be present if you would rather not be.
For occupied rental properties, we arrange the visit with appropriate notice to the tenant. For estate properties, we coordinate with whoever has authority over the property.
How we arrive at an offer
We look at recent sales of similar homes nearby, the condition of the property, the repairs it would need, and the costs involved in buying, holding, and eventually reselling or renting it. An offer reflects all of those factors. When we present one, we walk you through how we got there so you can judge it on the facts.
We do not make an offer on every property. If a property does not fit our criteria, we say so directly and, where we can, point you toward options that may fit better, including listing with a real estate agent.
Who buys the property
Carolina Home Buyers Group is a real estate investment company, not a licensed real estate brokerage. We do not represent sellers as their agent. Depending on the property and the situation, we may purchase a property directly, or we may work with qualified partners who purchase it. We explain who would be buying before you sign anything.
What closing looks like in North Carolina
In North Carolina, closings are typically handled by a licensed closing attorney who performs the title search, prepares the closing documents, and disburses the funds. You are welcome to have your own attorney review any agreement before you sign it, and we encourage it. Ordinary closing costs, such as attorney fees, recording fees, and any outstanding taxes or liens, are explained in writing before you commit to anything.
Your right to say no
At every step, you can pause, ask questions, seek advice, or decline. A review does not obligate you to accept an offer, and an offer does not obligate you to sign. We would rather you make the right decision than a fast one.
