Frequently Asked Questions
How does selling a home during divorce work in NC?
In NC, both parties must agree to the sale or a court can order it. An equitable distribution agreement determines how proceeds are split. We work with both parties or their attorneys.
What is probate real estate in North Carolina?
When a property owner passes away, the property may need to go through probate court before it can be sold. The executor of the estate handles the sale with court approval.
Do I have to pay capital gains on inherited property?
Inherited property receives a stepped-up tax basis to fair market value at the date of death. If you sell soon after inheriting, your capital gains tax may be minimal or zero.
What if I am behind on mortgage payments?
Contact your lender immediately to discuss options like forbearance or loan modification. If selling is the best path, listing early while you still have equity gives you the most control.
