Q. Is my deposit safe if I choose to purchase property?

A. Yes, your deposit is held in a non-interest bearing escrow account until closing with an attorney. A full refund of all deposit money is given if the title search reports a defect in title or if the sale is contingent upon financial approval.

Q. What should I expect on the day that I go to view a property?

A. Be prepared to walk the property and understand the boundaries and character of the property. Some properties may be hilly and/or wooded.  Wear long pants and walking shoes (hiking boots are best).

Ask questions. Our Agents have the answers and will provide you with property information that will clearly explain the accessibility of the property, access to utilities and the costs associated with purchasing the property.

Properties are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis contingent upon receiving a deposit check, so remember to bring a check in case you find a property you want to purchase.

Q. If I decide to purchase a property, what guarantees are offered?

A. A general warranty deed comes with each property which guarantees that title is marketable and free and clear of all encumbrances.

Q. Do I need to find an attorney on my own if I decide to purchase?

A. You may, however we have obtained an attorney from the area who is familiar with the property and region. The attorney's knowledge of the property and area will make for a smooth and timely closing. The attorney can also arrange the closing via mail which will save you considerable time and make for an easy process.

Q. What is a title search or title abstract?

A. North Carolina law requires an attorney to perform loan closings.  Part of this process is searching the title to the property. The history of ownership of the property is investigated to determine that there are no others who may have claim to any portion of the property. Any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, rights-of-way, deeds of trust or other matters of record that may affect the title are reported. Any findings that are not permitted, such as prior liens on the property, will be cleared by the attorney's office prior to closing.  An owner's title insurance policy is issued based upon the findings of the title search.

Q. What types of lots are available to buy?

A. We have a variety of lots fitting different parameters such as acreage, water access, slope, view (mountain or lake), location, and much more. Most of our lots, at this time, are waterfront properties, but we have access to an extensive range of properties in the area. Simply tell us the type of lot that you're looking for and we'll be happy to provide you with a list of lots that meet your criteria.

Q. What if your lot inventory does not include a lot that will suit my needs?

A. No problem. NClakefront.com Realty has access to virtually all of the lots for sale in this area.  We also have a database that includes properties which could be acquired directly from owners.  As a company that focuses on lots and new construction, we have an extensive knowledge of lots and pricing on the lake, and can help you discern appropriate values for these properties in order to enable a smooth real estate transaction.

Q. What services do you provide when someone buys a lot?

A. Our goal is to make buying a lot a pleasant and easy experience for you! We do that for you in a variety of ways.  Most of our lots have property lines that are clearly marked, so when you visit in person, you will find the location of the property lines. Many times one or more possible homesites in a community will be cleared.  Additionally, many of our lots have septic permits already completed.  We've found this gives most buyers added peace of mind to know these things have already been taken care of.  There are other items involved in purchasing property here such as Title Insurance, Recorded Maps and Property Covenants, and we have a database of banks to assist in property financing.  If there is anything additional you would like us to do, or if you would like us to change anything, please let us know!
