Know Your Disclosure Duties in North Carolina

North Carolina sellers have specific disclosure obligations that must be met before going to market. Being transparent about your property's condition is not only required by law, it also builds buyer trust and significantly reduces your risk of legal disputes after closing. Nearly two thirds of real estate lawsuits stem from disclosure issues, making this one of the most important steps in the process.

Learn more on the top items you must disclose:

Residential Property and Owners' Association Disclosure Statement (RPOADS): North Carolina's state-mandated disclosure form covering the known condition of the property, including the roof, HVAC, plumbing, and structural issues. This must be provided to the buyer before they make an offer.

Mineral, Oil and Gas Rights Disclosure (MOG): Sellers must disclose whether mineral, oil, or gas rights have been severed and sold to a third party. This determines whether someone else holds the right to access your land for extraction purposes.

Due Diligence Fee: Unique to North Carolina, the due diligence fee is a non-refundable payment made by the buyer to the seller at contract signing. In exchange, the seller takes the home off the market while the buyer completes inspections, secures financing, and performs their research.

Lead-Based Paint (Pre-1978 Homes): Federal law requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose known lead hazards, provide an EPA-approved pamphlet, and allow buyers up to 10 days for a lead inspection.

Known Material Defects: Sellers are prohibited from concealing or misrepresenting any known defects that could affect the value or safety of the property, including structural problems, water intrusion, pest issues, or mold.

HOA Membership: If the property is part of a homeowners association, sellers must disclose this along with relevant fees, rules, and governing documents so buyers understand their obligations before making an offer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive. If you have additional questions after reviewing these, feel free to contact us anytime. We’ll respond promptly with the information you need.

Listing your house with List With Freedom is fast, simple, and hassle-free. You just choose your package, complete the online listing forms, upload your photos, and sign the listing documents. After these straightforward steps, we will add your property to the MLS, syndicating it to hundreds of websites like Zillow and Realtor.com.

Yes, flat fee MLS listings are completely legal in North Carolina and give you access to the same MLS systems that full-service agents use. ListWithFreedom lists your property on Canopy MLS (serving Charlotte and surrounding regions), Triad MLS (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point), NCRMLS (covering coastal and eastern NC), and High Country MLS. From there, your listing syndicates to Zillow, Realtor.com, and hundreds of other buyer platforms statewide.

The due diligence fee is a unique part of North Carolina real estate transactions. Once a purchase contract is signed, the buyer pays you a non-refundable fee in exchange for you taking the home off the market during a negotiated due diligence period. This gives the buyer time to conduct inspections and secure financing, while protecting you from buyers who might walk away without cause. The amount is negotiable and based on the sale price and market conditions.

North Carolina sellers must complete the Residential Property and Owners' Association Disclosure Statement (RPOADS), which covers the known condition of the property. You are also required to complete the Mineral, Oil and Gas Rights Disclosure (MOG) and, for homes built before 1978, a federal lead-based paint disclosure. ListWithFreedom's support team and optional add-ons can help you navigate these requirements from start to finish.

ListWithFreedom lists your North Carolina home on the state's major MLS networks based on your location, including Canopy MLS (Charlotte metro), Triad MLS (Greensboro and Winston-Salem area), NCRMLS (coastal and eastern North Carolina), and High Country MLS (western NC mountains). This multi-MLS coverage ensures your home reaches the widest possible audience of active buyers and their agents across the state.
