What documents do I need to sell my house for cash in North Carolina?

To get an offer: almost nothing

When you submit the form or call, we just need the property address and some basic information about the property and your situation. That is it. You do not need documents, paperwork or preparation for the first conversation.

You also do not need to know what is wrong with the house. Plenty of our sellers have not been inside the property in years. We do our own walkthrough and evaluate the house as it actually stands. Tell us what you do know, and do not stress about what you do not.

What we will ask on the first call

We will ask a few basic questions, in whatever detail you feel like giving. Where the property is. Roughly what shape it is in. Whether there is a mortgage on it, and roughly where you are with it. Whether anyone else is on the deed. What your timeline looks like, and whether there is a date you are working against.

If you do not know the answer to something, say so. You do not need repair estimates, an appraisal, a cleaned-out house, a title search, a survey, or a decision about whether you actually want to sell. Nothing needs preparing before you call.

To close: the usual real estate paperwork

For closing you will need typical real estate documents: your deed, mortgage information and your ID. If there is a mortgage, we contact your servicer's payoff department directly to get the exact amount needed and wire it at closing, so you are not chasing paperwork on our behalf.

We guide you through all of it. If your situation involves an estate, a divorce order or an LLC, there is some extra paperwork specific to that, and the attorneys handling it will tell you exactly what they need. We coordinate with them rather than handing you a checklist and wishing you luck.

What we do not ask for

We do not require the full North Carolina Residential Property Disclosure Statement. We do our own walkthrough and assume the condition risk ourselves. You can still be transparent about known issues, and we will not penalize you for a long list. We have seen worse.

We also do not require a traditional inspection, so there is no inspection report to produce and no repair addendum to negotiate afterward.

If paperwork is the thing stopping you

It should not be. The most common reason people delay calling is a vague sense that they need to get organized first. You do not. Call with the address, and we will work out the rest together.
