Relocating to North Carolina.

Buying from a distance

• Narrow the area first: commute, schools you want to research, and the kind of town you want on a Saturday.
• Video tours and local inspections let many buyers start before they arrive. Your agent can help you decide what you need to see in person.
• North Carolina closings are handled by a real estate attorney, and many attorneys can help with remote signing options; ask early.

Plan the timing

• Line up your lender, moving dates, and any temporary housing before you write an offer.
• Ask about flood zones, insurance, and utilities in the towns you are considering.
