Greenville and Pitt County: deed fees, the January 6 interest charge and the courthouse auction
Pitt County's Register of Deeds is at 100 E. 1st Street in Greenville, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, phone 252-902-1725. Its fee page cites G.S. 161-10. Most instruments are $26 for the first 15 pages and $4 for each page after that. A deed of trust, mortgage or cancellation is $56 for the first 15 pages, a plat is $21 a sheet, and filing a satisfaction costs nothing.

When the tax bill arrives and what the dates mean
Pitt County mails tax notices every July to the person who owned the property on May 1. Payment is due September 1, with a discount from July 1 through August 31 in years when one is offered. The bill comes with coupons for installments, and a payer may also make partial payments of any size, provided the whole balance is paid by January 5, 2027. Full payment by that date avoids interest and enforced collection. On January 6 a charge of 2 percent applies, and another three-fourths of one percent is added on the first day of each month after. The Tax Collector takes payments in person at 111 S. Washington Street, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and answers at 252-902-3425. Tax Administration is at 252-902-3400.
The county's tax auction
Each March, Pitt County advertises its unpaid real property taxes, and advertising costs are added to every unpaid account. The county then refers the property to an attorney, who files an action. A commissioner or substitute trustee conducts the auction on the Third Street steps of the Pitt County Courthouse, 100 W. Third Street, in uptown Greenville, rain or shine. These are judicial sales, and a bidder cannot enter the house to inspect it without the current owner's permission. The winning bidder pays a 10 percent deposit immediately, by cash, certified bank check, cashier's check or money order, and personal checks are refused. If the deposit is not paid, the property is auctioned again. Pitt County offers no financing.
After a bid is accepted, a 10-day upset period begins. Upset bids go to the Clerk of Court's Civil Department and must be at least 5 percent or $750 higher, whichever is greater. The county says the current owner can cancel the sale during those 10 days by paying all the taxes owed. A bidder who wins and fails to complete the purchase forfeits the deposit and may be barred from future sales.

What NC sellers say
Real results from Greenville-area homeowners
“I inherited a property split between 4 siblings across 4 states. The probate process was a nightmare. Close With Creative worked with our attorney, coordinated signatures from everyone, and closed cleanly. They made the impossible possible.”
Robert G.
Greenville, NC
“Settling my aunt's estate in Greenville with multiple heirs across the country. Close With Creative coordinated with our probate attorney, handled remote notarization for out-of-state heirs, and closed without anyone flying in.”
Karen B.
Greenville, 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.”

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.

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 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.

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.
