Steps for Buying Land

I’m thrilled to be working with you on finding the perfect piece of land! To help make this process as smooth as possible, I wanted to share an overview of what to expect when purchasing land in North Carolina.

 

Step 1: Defining Your Needs

We’ll start by discussing your goals for the property, such as its intended use (residential, recreational, investment) and specific features you’re looking for. This will help us narrow down your options and find the best match.

 

Step 2: Property Search

Once we have a clear vision, I’ll present available listings that align with your criteria. With my knowledge of the local market, geography, and resources.

 

Step 3: Property Investigation

When we find a property you’re interested in, we’ll conduct some initial investigation. This time is for understanding zoning, utility availability, and land access. We’ll also discover any recent land surveys, septic permits, or any restrictions that could impact your plans.

 

Step 4: Offer and Contract

If the property checks all your boxes, we’ll submit an offer. In North Carolina, land transactions may include due diligence fees and earnest money deposits. I’ll guide you through preparing a competitive offer while ensuring your investment is protected.

 

Step 5: Due Diligence

Once under contract, we’ll have a due diligence period that allows time to handle inspections and permits and finalize any contingencies. A common permitting process that occurs during this time is for a perc test and septic permit.

 

Step 6: Closing 

North Carolina’s closing process involves working with an attorney to review title searches, finalize paperwork, and ensure a clean title transfer.

 

Buying land can be an exciting venture, and I’m here to handle the details every step of the way so you can focus on envisioning your future property! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to helping you find the perfect land to fit your vision.
