The NC home buying process, at a glance

North Carolina does a few things differently from other states. The guide walks through every step in plain English.

1

Buyer consult

Goals, budget, and your written buyer agreement.

2

Pre-approval

Know your number, and ask about assistance programs.

3

Offer to Purchase

Price, due diligence fee, earnest money, and dates.

4

Due diligence

Inspect, appraise, negotiate. You can walk away before it ends.

5

Attorney closing

An NC attorney handles title, documents, and recording. Then you get your keys!

● Bright blue steps are unique to North Carolina.
