Can You Build a Dock on Lake Norman? What Buyers Should Know

A lot on the water and a lot with a dock are not the same purchase.

Buyers who learn that after closing tend to learn it expensively.Duke Energy operates Lake Norman under a federal license, and the lake's p

5 Reasons to Love Eating Local in Denver, NC

Denver was called Dry Pond until 1873, named for a pond that went dry in the summer heat near what is now NC-16 Business. The pond is gone, and that same road is where most of the town's eating happens. It is not a restaurant destination in the way the east side of the lake is, and it does not pretend to be. What it has is a handful of independent places with a clear point of view, most of them r

Should You Get an Appraisal Before Selling Your Home?

You do not need to clear the balance first, and the buyer never takes over your loan. The real question is not whether you can sell, but how much of the sale price is left for you once the lender is paid, and what happens if the answer is less than nothing.In North Carolina a licen

For the most part there is not. Who pays what is local custom, written into the contra

Do You Need Title Insurance When Buying in North Carolina?

If you are financing, you will buy title insurance whether you think about it or not, because your lender requires a policy. The part worth actually deciding is whether you also buy one for yourself, and the honest answer depends on understanding that the two policies protect different people.The lender's policy is required as a condition of the loan. It protects the lender's interest in the prop

What Is Escrow When You Buy a House in North Carolina?

Escrow is one of those words that gets used for three different things in the same conversation. In North Carolina it usually means the account that holds your deposit between signing and closing, and the thing most buyers get wrong is that there are two deposits here, not one, and only one of them comes back.Most states run a single earnest money deposit.
