Estimate your Raleigh home-sale net proceeds
See what you'd actually walk away with. We started with Zillow's typical home value for Raleigh, $428,671 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Raleigh, NC) (Source: Zillow Home Value Index), and the verified local transfer taxes or filing fees of North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances: $1 for each $500 of price or value, with any part of $500 counting as a full $500 (0.2% per full increment). Pick your home's condition, from light touch-ups to fire damage, and change any number.
Raleigh, NC illustrative estimate
Raleigh, NC illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.
Three simple steps
1
Tell us about your house
Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.
2
Get your offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3
Close
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Your situation
Selling a Raleigh house when something has made it harder
Foreclosure
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

North Carolina selling costs: excise tax on conveyances
North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate. The rate is $1 for each $500 of the price or value, and any part of $500 counts as a full $500. For example, the tax is $200 on a $100,000 sale. The law puts payment on the seller before the deed is recorded; the county Register of Deeds marks the deed to show the tax was paid. Some transfers are exempt under state law. Read the North Carolina excise-tax statute and the statutory exemptions.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
What Raleigh sellers should know
Check the county by the property address
Raleigh's city footprint crosses Wake County and Durham County. County tax, land-record, and estate contact routes are different, so don't choose an office from the city name alone. Check the actual property and use the matching county office below; the Census maps show the city and county geography but do not determine a parcel's county or legal status.
U.S. Census TIGERweb Raleigh city geometry North Carolina county geometry
Raleigh's GIS also names city local areas such as Midtown, Five Points, Mordecai, and Oakwood. Those mapped labels are useful for orientation, not a determination of a property's boundary or status. Check the address with the appropriate city or county office when a local rule matters.

Questions about selling a house in Raleigh
Can I sell a Raleigh house without repairing or cleaning it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and what you know about the house so we can review its actual condition.
What excise tax applies when a Raleigh house sells?
North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate. The rate is $1 for each $500 of the price or value, and any part of $500 counts as a full $500. For example, that is $200 on a $100,000 sale. The seller pays it to the county Register of Deeds before the deed is recorded. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
Does a Raleigh address tell me which county office handles the property?
No. Raleigh’s city footprint intersects Wake County and Durham County. Check the actual property’s county before using a county tax, land-record, or estate contact route; the county offices listed here are orientation, not a parcel determination.
What happens to insurance proceeds if I sell a fire-damaged house to you?
You keep your insurance proceeds when we buy the house exactly as it stands. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
