How it sold

Twenty years empty, and every buyer heard the same three things.

A 1.3-acre lot where the seller grew up, empty for twenty years and grown up in brush, reached by a private dirt lane that crosses the property itself.

The seller remembered an old well and septic from a home that once stood there but could not say what still worked. So every buyer heard the same thing on the first call: the lane is private and kept up by the people who live on it, the old well and septic are unknown and a new home would likely need a new septic site, and power runs to the neighbours on the lane but nothing was checked at the lot.

Title was the other piece of work. The owner had inherited the land from his father with his siblings and had married since, so under North Carolina law his wife had to sign even though the land was his before the marriage. When a death in her family took her away the week of closing, the closing attorney's paralegal drove out and notarized it in person.

It went in September 2024 to a buyer who found it online and wanted a small piece of country to hold for her family.

Selling land?

If you own something like this, we would like to hear about it.

Odd lots, divided parcels, land with a question hanging over it: that is most of what we buy. We do the survey, the soil work and the calls to the city and county ourselves, and we put what we find in writing.
