The game we refuse to play
Some buyers quote you one price to get your signature, then cut it before closing with excuses like "unexpected repairs" or "inspection surprises." By then you have turned down other buyers, given notice somewhere, or booked a move, and you take the lower number because what else are you going to do.
The honest answer is that the contract decides this, not a sentence on a website. Ask us to read you the price and termination sections before you sign, and take the agreement to your own attorney.
The fair question back is whether we can walk away. We do not have a financing contingency or an inspection contingency, so there is no repair report or lender decision that lets us out. Ask us to read you the termination language before you sign; we would rather you asked that of every buyer you talk to.
Why we can hold the price
We ask a lot of questions on the first call about the house and its condition, and the number is built on your answers, so tell us what you know.
We do not ask for a traditional inspection, and what a buyer's inspection would have turned up does not change our number. What matters is what the agreement says about it, which is why we would rather read it with you than summarise it here.
It also means our day-one offer is built on real North Carolina market data and honest repair math rather than on an opening number designed to be walked back.
What that looks like in practice
One phone call, usually 15 to 30 minutes. A written offer within 24 hours. You take as long as you need to decide, a day, a week, whatever. If you accept, the price on the contract is the price on the settlement statement, and you close in 14 to 30 days on the date you pick.
If you already have an offer from another North Carolina buyer, show it to us before you accept. If we can do better we will tell you; if we cannot, we will say so.
The short version
A price that holds in writing is the clearest promise a buyer can make you, and the easiest one to check before you sign.
