When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The title company and the creditor or tax office confirm the current amount and instructions for the specific sale. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing-cost promise and are reviewed as their own settlement items.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Start with the property address, parcel number if available, tax bill or collection notice, mortgage or creditor statement, court paper, case number, and any recorded lien or deed you have. The New Hanover County Tax Department can check the county tax account; the Register of Deeds handles recorded land documents. The title company searches the property records and works with creditors and the responsible offices on current payoff and release details. You can call us before you have everything.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the address, what you know about the house, and the notice or payoff information that concerns you. Start with what you have; you do not need to settle the account before calling.
We discuss the house as it stands and provide the offer and proposed sale terms in writing before you commit. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The creditor, Tax Department, or other responsible office confirms its current figures and any release instructions needed for closing.
The title company prepares the final settlement figures, including the sale price, payoffs, tax allocations, and closing items. It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
The City of Wilmington is in New Hanover County, but a Wilmington mailing address does not by itself establish that a parcel is inside the city. Use the parcel address when checking which government office handles a question.
Contact the Tax Department about county property-tax administration, the property search, land-records routing, and collections. Ask for the current account balance and status tied to the parcel. The office is at 230 Government Center Drive, Suite 190, Wilmington, NC 28403; call 910-798-7300.
The Register of Deeds handles real-estate recording and land records. Real Estate Recording is in Suite 102 at 320 Chestnut Street, Wilmington, NC 28401; call 910-798-4530. See the County's recording services and standards for recording questions.

A lien is a legal claim that can affect title or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office. County property-tax collection and a lender's mortgage foreclosure are separate matters; a tax account or notice is not the lender's foreclosure case. Check the current notice and the office or court named on it rather than relying on a date from a different process.
New Hanover County's Tax Department can route questions about county property-tax accounts and collections. The Register of Deeds is the county recording route for deeds and other real-estate documents. Those records do not by themselves provide every creditor's current payoff amount. Ask the responsible office or creditor for current figures and give the title company any notices, case numbers, or documents you receive.

Many North Carolina home loans use a deed of trust that allows a lender to seek a power-of-sale foreclosure hearing before the Clerk of Superior Court. If the foreclosure is allowed to proceed, it can involve a public sale and a statutory upset-bid period. That lender process is separate from a county property-tax account. If you receive a foreclosure hearing or sale notice, use its case information and promptly check the current status with the court or a North Carolina attorney; a general rule does not tell you the deadline for your property.

North Carolina charges excise tax when a deed transfers real estate: $1 for each $500 of the price or value, with any part of $500 counted as a full $500. The seller ordinarily pays it before the deed is recorded; some transfers are exempt. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. That closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate settlement items.
