Greensboro and High Point homeowners: Guilford County's deed, tax and code offices
Guilford County runs a Register of Deeds office in each city. In Greensboro, Real Estate and Recording is on the second floor of 201 W. Market Street, with vital records on the first. In High Point the office is at 325 E. Russell Avenue, Room 155. Both answer at 336-641-7556, and documents are handled from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The county no longer accepts an original deed of trust and note to clear a loan from the record. A recorded satisfaction releases it, and recording one is free.
Tax bills and the January date
Guilford's tax department says taxes paid by August 31 earn a 0.5 percent early-payment discount, and the full amount is due on or before January 5. After that, interest starts and enforced collection can follow, including foreclosure on real estate. A payment plan is possible if the whole balance is paid before the delinquent date. The tax offices are at 400 W. Market Street in Greensboro, 336-641-3363, and 325 E. Russell Avenue in High Point, 336-641-7911. The department's page says real estate is revalued every five years, most recently in 2022, and it describes a 2026 reappraisal that assigns new values to all real property in the county.
When the county forecloses for taxes, it hires an outside law firm, Zacchaeus Legal Services. Sales are held at noon at the Guilford County Courthouse, 201 S. Eugene Street. The winning bidder puts down 20 percent in cash or certified funds, and upset bids are filed in person at the Clerk of Court's office within 10 days. The buyer receives a commissioner's deed, subject to any taxes left out of the judgment. If nobody bids, the county, city or town bids the minimum.
High Point's rules for a closed house
High Point's code enforcement page is specific about vacant dwellings. An owner must secure a house within five calendar days of its being vacated. In high-crime areas the city can require the openings boarded with 5/8-inch CDX plywood cut to fit tightly. A closed dwelling can stay closed indefinitely as long as it meets the housing and nuisance codes. Grass and weeds taller than 12 inches count as a public nuisance.
Notices go out by certified and first-class mail. An owner has 15 days to ask the director for a hearing, and after that the violation stands. A structure damaged by fire, wind or flood and left unrepaired for 30 days must be repaired or removed. An owner who ignores an order to secure is billed for what the city spends securing the structure. The office is at 211 S. Hamilton Street, (336) 883-3328.

What NC sellers say
Real results from Greensboro-area homeowners
“My grandmother's estate in Greensboro-High Point was stuck in probate for months. Close With Creative understood North Carolina probate law, worked with the court timeline, and made the whole process painless.”
Jennifer K.
Greensboro-High Point, NC
“The creative financing option was a game-changer. I had plenty of equity in my Greensboro-High Point home but needed time to find my next place. They structured a deal where I got above-market value and had 45 days to relocate.”
Thomas N.
Greensboro-High Point, NC
“I was 4 months behind on my mortgage and the lender was sending scary letters every week. Close With Creative called me back within 3 hours, explained my options clearly, and we closed in 21 days. They literally saved my house from foreclosure.”
Margaret A.
Fayetteville, NC
“My aunt passed and left me her house in Raleigh-Cary. It needed everything — structural damage and code violations. I live across the country away and couldn't deal with contractors. They bought it as-is and I had a check in 14 days. The wholesale option got me $22K more than the cash offer.”
Linda B.
Raleigh-Cary, NC
“Going through a divorce in Asheville is expensive enough without paying 6% realtor commissions. Close With Creative gave us a fair cash offer, handled everything through the attorney, and both parties walked away satisfied. Professional and discreet.”
David C.
Asheville, NC
“I had a duplex in Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton with tenants who hadn't paid rent in 5 months. Every cash buyer I called gave me a lowball number. These guys presented four different options — I picked wholesale and got $25K more than the next best offer.”

Selling a house in Greensboro, NC — common questions
Do you buy houses anywhere in the Greensboro area?
Yes. We buy throughout the Greensboro-High Point area and across North Carolina, in any condition and any price band. If the property is outside that metro but still in North Carolina, we still buy it.
How fast can I get an offer on my Greensboro home?
Within 24 hours of telling us about the property. That covers all four structures, not just a cash number. Cash and wholesale close in 7-14 days and 14-30 days; creative finance and novation take longer because they pay more.
How fast can I sell my house in North Carolina?
Close With Creative provides a competitive cash or creative financing offer within 24 hours of evaluating your North Carolina property. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or on whichever date fits your timeline. North Carolina is an attorney-closing state — a licensed attorney must conduct the closing.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my North Carolina home?
No. We buy all North Carolina properties completely as-is. You do not need to clean, paint, repair the roof, fix the foundation, or address code violations. We handle all maintenance and renovation after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to Close With Creative in North Carolina?
Zero. No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs. North Carolina charges a real estate excise tax of $1.00 per $500 of value. We cover all excise taxes and closing costs. The offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
What types of properties does Close With Creative buy in North Carolina?
We purchase single-family homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi-family properties, mobile homes, vacant land, and commercial properties throughout North Carolina. Any condition — fire damage, water damage, outdated, code violations, or perfectly maintained.
How does North Carolina's foreclosure process work?
North Carolina uses non-judicial foreclosure through power of sale with a 45-day notice period followed by a 10-day upset bid period. Selling to Close With Creative before foreclosure completes protects your credit and preserves your equity.
What is the difference between a cash offer and creative financing in North Carolina?
A cash offer means we pay the full price at closing using our own funds, typically within 7 to 14 days. Creative financing structures the purchase over time, often resulting in a higher total payout — sometimes 90% to 110% of market value. We present both options along with novation and wholesale paths so North Carolina sellers can choose the best fit.
Can I sell my North Carolina house if I still have a mortgage?
Yes. Most North Carolina homeowners who sell to us still carry a mortgage. At closing, your existing mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds through the attorney. If you owe more than your home is worth, we may still have creative solutions available.

North Carolina charges a real estate excise tax of $1.00 per $500 of value. We cover all excise taxes and closing costs.
