2. How does your process work?
This is our most asked question, so let us break this down…
1. Initial Contact: After you submit our inquiry form, we promptly give you a call to gather more information about your property. This includes discussing its condition, circumstances, your preferred timeline, and initial financial expectations. This step helps us understand your needs and tailor our approach accordingly. It also allows us to know if we are a good fit or direct you to better options.
2. Property Assessment and Offer: We conduct a thorough analysis of your property, which includes market research and sometimes a personal visit to ensure we understand the nuances of your property’s condition and value. We prefer meeting each seller in person not just to see the property, but to establish a trustful relationship and ensure all your questions are answered. Typically, we can present a fair, no-obligation cash offer during this visit or shortly after via a follow-up call.
3. Closing on Your Terms: If you decide to accept our offer, we proceed with the closing process based on your schedule. Whether you need to close quickly or require a bit more time, stay in the home a few days after closing, we adapt to your timeline. You receive cash for your house at closing in a process that is as simple and stress-free as possible.

Whether you have a small fixer-upper, a mobile home, a large multi-unit apartment, or even a property in significant distress, we’re interested.

4. My house is in terrible condition, will you still buy it?
Absolutely! We buy homes regardless of their condition, whether they’re in perfect shape or need a lot of work. In fact, as flippers/Investors, we often find homes that require significant improvements particularly appealing. You might be surprised by the properties we have bought and the condition they were in. Simply fill out our form, and we’ll provide you with a cash offer to show you exactly what we can do for you.
5. Do you buy mobile homes?
Yes, we certainly buy mobile homes! We are particularly interested in mobile homes on land. We also consider mobile homes located in parks, depending on the specifics of the park rules.
6. Are you just going to list my house on the market?
No, we do not turn around and list houses on the market. Our intention is to buy your house and fix it up. Only after fixing your house would we sell it on the market or hold onto it as a rental property.
If we find out that your situation is better suited for a real estate agent, we will connect you to one of the top agents in your market.
7. How many houses do you buy and what will you do with my house?
We get asked this all the time! We buy a many many of houses and what we do with them varies depending on the property and the needs of the community. We purchase homes, renovate them, and then we either sell them at a profit, keep them as rental properties, or sell them with seller financing. This flexible approach allows us to contribute to neighborhood revitalization in multiple ways. Whether enhancing the local housing supply, providing rental opportunities, or helping buyers through seller financing, our actions benefit the local community and economy. By choosing us, you’re not just selling your house; you’re also contributing to the revitalization of your area. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved!
8. How do you buy houses across NC & SC?
Carolinas House Buyers was established in Western North Carolina, where we built a robust network of contractors, attorneys, agents, realtors, and investors. This foundation allowed us to expand into South Carolina, where we continue to strengthen our connections with real estate professionals. Our base in Greensboro, NC, serves as a pivotal point for our operations, enabling us to effectively cover both states as we expand our reach and enhance our services.
9. Are you wholesalers?
No, we are not wholesalers. We buy homes directly from owners, fully committed to each property we acquire. Unlike wholesalers, who often secure a contract only to sell it to another buyer for a profit, we manage every aspect of the purchase, renovation, and resale process ourselves. This direct involvement allows us to ensure a smooth, transparent, and reliable transaction for sellers. We’re committed to handling all details personally, from the initial offer to the final closing, providing you with a hassle-free selling experience.
10. Is a “We buy houses” company right for my home sale?
It depends on what you’re looking for in a home sale to determine whether a “We buy houses” company is right. Many people think you only sell to a ‘We Buy Houses’ company if you’re desperate or in a rush. However, that’s not always the case. In fact, many of the homeowners we’ve worked with in chose Carolinas House Buyers not out of desperation, but because they wanted to avoid the hassles associated with traditional selling methods. Our clients often come to us after having negative experiences with real estate agents, or simply because they prefer not to handle repairs or deal with constant showings.
Carolinas House Buyers buys houses in any condition and under any circumstances, offering a straightforward, hassle-free way to sell your home quickly. We’ll provide you with a cash offer and we will advise you if listing with an agent might be a better choice for you. There’s no cost or obligation to receive our offer, so you have nothing to lose by checking with us first.
11. Will you pay a fair amount for my house?
Very good question. We do our best to always pay fair prices for houses. We are not here to lowball sellers. We want homeowners to feel good about our cash offer and all of the hassle-free benefits that come with it, such as no hidden fees or repairs.
Recognize though that there is a difference between a fair price and “market value.” If the house is in bad shape, we take the market value of the house and subtract all the cost of repairs needed and we come up with a number that obviously is a fair price. In some special cases, we can present highly competitive offers at market value. However, usually, those cases do not allow us to pay all cash. Seller financing is one such case, we can discuss it further on a case-by-case scenario. Every time we make an offer we present all possible opportunities.
12. How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
- Assessing Market Value: We start by performing a Comparable Market Analysis (CMA). This involves examining recent sales of houses within a 1-3 mile radius of your property that are similar in size, layout, and features (like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms). This comparison gives us an accurate market value for your home, assuming it’s in a similar condition to these comparable properties.
- Estimating Repair Costs: Next, we calculate the costs associated with bringing your house up to the standard of other homes in your area that have recently sold. During our walkthrough, we note necessary repairs and consult with our trusted contractors to ensure we keep costs efficient. We focus on essential repairs to offer you the highest possible price.
- Making an Offer: With all this information, we present you with an offer. We pride ourselves on transparency, explaining in detail how we arrived at our offer, including the cost of repairs and the results of the CMA. Our offer comes with no obligation; you are free to accept or decline it. If you choose to accept, we’ll discuss a closing date at which you will receive cash for your house, completing the sale without any hassles, fees, or commissions.
Congratulations! Selling your house can be that simple and straightforward with us.
13. Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
Absolutely not! There are NO fees or commissions when you work with us. We cover all closing costs (attorney fees), meaning you won’t have to pay anything out of your own pocket. Any fees we incur are handled by us. This ensures the process is completely smooth for you, from start to finish.
14. Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
Absolutely not! When you submit your information to Carolinas House Buyers, you’re under no obligation whatsoever. We pride ourselves on offering a completely free, no-pressure service. This means there are no hidden fees or commitments on your end—just the opportunity to receive a fair cash offer for your home at no cost.

Our focus is on providing homeowners a smooth, quick, direct, and hassle-free way to sell their homes, offering cash and closing on your timeline. However, if this is the best option for you, we will connect you with an agent.

No need to worry about that! We handle all the paperwork and coordinate with the closing attorney to simplify the process for you. Our goal is to make selling your house as easy as possible. You’ll only need to sign twice: first, the Purchase and Sale Agreement when we agree on the price and terms, and second time, the final closing documents at the attorney’s office, where you’ll receive your money. We take care of everything else to ensure a smooth and hassle-free transaction for you.
21. Do I need to clean or make any repairs before I move out?
NO. Absolutely not! When you sell your home to us, you can skip the hassle of cleaning up and making repairs. Take what you want and leave the rest behind—we will take care of it.
