How selling your Burke County land works

- Get a written cash offer. We check comparable sales, access, zoning and back taxes, and send a real number within 48 hours.
- Close and get paid. Sign at a licensed North Carolina title company or attorney or with a mobile notary we pay for. Most sales close in 2 to 4 weeks.
Cash now, or payments over time
Take cash at closing, or choose seller financing: a down payment plus monthly payments with interest, usually at a higher total price. We lay out both numbers side by side and you decide.

North Carolina's excise (transfer) tax of $1 per $500 of sale price is normally paid by the seller. We pay it for you. Title work, recording and notary fees are on us too, so the offer you accept is what you receive.
Burke County land selling FAQ
Do you buy land in Burke County that has back taxes or liens?
Yes. Back taxes and most liens are paid off at closing out of the sale, and we handle the paperwork with the Morganton county offices and the title company.
I inherited land in Burke County and live out of state. Can I still sell?
Yes. Most of our sellers never visit the property. We send documents to sign with a mobile notary near you, and you are paid by wire or check.
Do I need a survey or to clean up the property first?
No. We buy Burke County land as-is, including wooded, overgrown and landlocked parcels.
