You might be wondering…
Is this a safe, reliable way to sell my home in North Carolina?
Yes! Working with Cardinal House Buyers is a completely safe and legal way to sell your home. If you don’t understand the process, it can seem almost too good to be true.
We remove all of the worst parts of selling a home. This includes the hassles of making repairs, listing your home online, waiting for a buyer, negotiating prices, paying real estate commissions and fees, hosting showings and open houses and more.
Instead, we buy your home directly, which allows us to bypass all of the hassles mentioned above.
The price we agree on is the exact amount you will receive at closing. We work closely with our team of legal experts to ensure the transaction is entirely safe and documented according to the requirements of the State of North Carolina.
Avoid the numerous challenges of listing with a traditional agent:
✖ Your home can sit on the market for months
✖ The buyer can negotiate on price and repairs
✖ You pay 6% commissions to your agent
✖ You pay 2% closing fees
✖ The buyer may require a home inspection
✖ Open houses and showings invite strangers into your home

Vacant land
Don’t let your vacant property sit on the market. If your land doesn’t include factors like easy highway access, rich soil, or functional utilities, it may not do well with a traditional agent.

“Cardinal House Buyers were great to do business with. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell a property.”
Richard Howard
“We recently had to sell my childhood home after my mother passed away earlier in the year. Cardinal House Buyers offered a fair price for the house, and we closed when we needed to close. Of course, we did our due diligence and got offers from others as well as the “big boys” like OfferPad and OpenDoor. Cardinal’s offer was fair and reasonable. The best part was… read more.
