We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Often, yes, if the sale closes in time. Many North Carolina home loans use a deed of trust with a power of sale, which lets the lender ask the clerk of superior court to authorize foreclosure at a hearing rather than through a lawsuit. For a qualifying home loan on your main home, the servicer must mail notice at least 45 days before filing for the hearing; that rule does not cover every loan, including home-equity lines and reverse mortgages. The hearing notice must be served at least 10 days before the hearing. The clerk checks for a valid debt, a default, the right to foreclose, and proper notice. If the clerk authorizes foreclosure, you have 10 days to appeal. The notice of sale is posted at the courthouse for at least 20 days and published in a newspaper once a week for two weeks. The sale is a public auction. For 10 days after the sale report is filed, anyone can beat the high bid with an upset bid of at least 5% and at least $750; each new bid starts another 10-day period. If the last day falls when the clerk's office is closed, the deadline moves to its next open day. Until the last upset-bid period ends, paying the loan and sale costs in full stops the foreclosure. Once a 10-day period ends with no new bid, the sale is final. A house sale that closes in time can make that payoff. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Yes. You can start with the address and what you know about the house. Before closing, the title and estate review must confirm who has authority to sign; a relative or beneficiary is not automatically the person who can sign for the property.

Yes, you can ask about a tenant-occupied house. Share the lease status, who lives there, access limits, any notices, and the timing you are working with. The sale discussion needs to account for the actual lease and any court process; a sale does not itself make an occupied house vacant.

Nothing has to be gathered before you call. The address, what you know about the condition, who occupies the house, and any date on a notice are useful starting points. You can ask your question before you have every answer or document.
