USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in the City of Wilmington and across New Hanover County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.
If a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, tell us what is happening. We can talk through that option alongside a sale with the tenants in place.

The County's Building Safety office is a route for permit, inspection, and code-enforcement information. It is at 230 Government Center Drive, Suite 170, Wilmington, NC 28403; call 910-798-7308.

For real-estate recording and land-record questions, contact the Register of Deeds at 320 Chestnut Street, Suite 102, Wilmington, NC 28401, or call 910-798-4530. The office's recording services information explains its recording route; it does not decide what a lease means for a particular sale.
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. The buyer generally takes over as landlord. The lease, its term, the rent period, and the deposit records help show what carries into the handoff.
If a lease is for more than three years, it must be recorded with the Register of Deeds to bind a buyer. Keep the lease with the other closing records so the title and closing professionals can review the term and recording question.
Within 30 days after the sale, the seller must either transfer the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the buyer and mail the tenant the buyer's name and address, or return the deposit, minus lawful deductions, to the tenant. Either step relieves the seller of further responsibility for the deposit.
The notice period depends on how often rent is due: month-to-month requires at least seven days' notice before the end of the month; week-to-week requires two days before the end of the week; and year-to-year requires one month or more before the end of the year. A rented manufactured-home space requires 60 days' notice. Check the lease too; it may require more.
If a tenant will not leave, the tenant can be removed only through the court process. A sale or a notice period alone does not make a tenant leave automatically.
Yes. You can start a sale conversation with tenants still living there. A sale does not by itself end the lease; the buyer generally takes over as landlord.

The lease may require more.
