Fayetteville neighborhoods we buy in
What slows a sale in Fayetteville changes from Haymount to Hope Mills.
We have bought houses in Fayetteville, and we buy anywhere inside the city limits or out in the rest of Cumberland County, from the oldest streets near downtown to the newest subdivisions.
Haymount
Haymount is the hill up Hay Street from downtown, where the federal government built an armory in the 1840s. Its houses date from about 1817 to 1950, many of them Queen Anne or Colonial Revival, along Hillside Avenue, Hay Street and Arsenal Avenue. It is one of the city's two local historic districts, so even new windows go before the Historic Resources Commission, and we buy with that work still waiting.
Massey Hill
Massey Hill grew up around textile mills that had closed by the 1970s. Many of its houses began as four-room mill houses, and one is now a city museum of mill-village life. We buy these small houses whether they were kept up or have sat empty for years.
Murchison Road and Broadell
Just north of Fayetteville State University, between Murchison Road and Cross Creek, the Broadell neighborhood is mostly ranch and split-level houses built from the 1950s into the 1970s. Farther out, Murchison Road runs to the edge of Fort Bragg and on to Spring Lake. We buy ranch houses here that still have the original kitchen and baths.
Bragg Boulevard and the edge of the post
Bragg Boulevard runs from the edge of Haymount out to Fort Bragg, and a large part of the post sits inside the city limits. Near the post's border off Murchison Road, Shaw Heights was left out of the city's 2005 annexation, so a house there may be in the county even though the city surrounds it. We buy houses out here whether they are rented, empty or lived in by the owner.
The west side, out Cliffdale, Raeford and Skibo roads
After the war, subdivisions spread west across old cotton fields and pine woods, and much of this side of town stayed county land until a large annexation in 2005. Montclair sits between Raeford, Cliffdale and Skibo roads, and the subdivisions keep going west toward the Hoke County line. We buy these houses with dated kitchens, worn carpet or a tenant in place.
South toward Hope Mills
Hope Mills has spread across southwest Cumberland County over the decades, so a subdivision between it and Fayetteville can be inside Hope Mills, inside the city or in neither one. Gates Four, a gated golf community on the southwest side, is still outside the Fayetteville city limits. Your tax bill shows which one you are in, and we buy in all three.
Orders, tenants and the house you left behind
Selling a Fayetteville house when the Army moves you, or after it already has.
Fayetteville has grown up alongside Fort Bragg since the post opened as Camp Bragg in 1918. For an owner who serves there, the Army's calendar often decides when a house has to sell, and that usually happens in one of two ways.
The first is a set of orders with a report date on them. Tell us the day you leave Fayetteville and the day you are due at your next post, and we will plan the closing backward from there. Once the title is clear, about seven days is enough for us to close, which can put the closing ahead of the moving truck. If you would rather move first, we can wait, and you can ask the closing attorney about signing from wherever the Army sends you.
The second is the house you kept and rented out when you left. A few tenants later, the roof and the HVAC are older, and every repair call comes in from another time zone. You can sell it to us with the tenant still living there.
Send us the lease, the rent and the deposit amount so we can time the closing around the lease. A North Carolina landlord who sells has to either move the tenant's security deposit over to the new owner, with written notice to the tenant, or refund it. If a tenant has stopped paying, only the court eviction process can remove them, so talk with a North Carolina attorney before anyone is told to move out.
Overseas or deployed? A property manager or a friend can let us in for the walk-through, and photos can fill in the rest.
How a sale works in Fayetteville
What happens between your call and the day you get paid.
A North Carolina attorney handles every closing. If the owner has died, the estate is opened with the clerk of superior court (estates division) for the county the owner lived in. For an owner from Fayetteville, Hope Mills or Spring Lake, that is the Cumberland County Clerk of Superior Court at the courthouse on Dick Street. The towns further down this page list their own county's clerk.
- Call or send the address.
Reach us at (704) 966-7355 or fill in the form above. Tell us whether the house is lived in, rented or empty, and what you know is broken.
- We talk first, then take one look.
One of our specialists talks the house through with you on the phone and books one visit, or works from photos if you have already moved.
- You get our number on paper.
We figure it from what needs fixing, the years left on the roof and the HVAC, and what comparable houses close by have sold for. Turning it down costs you nothing.
- Pick the day and sign with the attorney.
The closing attorney clears the title and settles any mortgage at the table, on the date you chose, as far as about six months out.
Fayetteville questions
Questions we get from owners around Fort Bragg.
My orders just came through. Can you buy my Fayetteville house before I have to leave?
In a lot of cases, yes. Give us your report date on the first call, since a clear title lets us close in about seven days. If that is too tight, sign with us before you go and close after you leave.
I moved away and have rented the house out since. Do the tenants have to be gone before you buy?
No. Tenants can stay right where they are while we buy the house. Send the lease so we can plan the closing around its end date, and the closing attorney will account for the deposits.
My mother lived in Hope Mills and left the house to us. Where does the estate get opened?
Hope Mills is in Cumberland County, so her estate goes through the Cumberland County Clerk of Superior Court in Fayetteville. The clerk issues letters testamentary or letters of administration, and the person who receives them usually signs at closing. If the family sells within two years of her death, expect the closing attorney to ask for that person's signature as well.
Will Haymount's historic district rules hold up a sale to you?
The city's Historic Resources Commission reviews exterior changes in Haymount, such as new windows or porch repairs. Since we are the ones who will do that work, the review happens on our watch after closing. You can sell it with the porch and the windows just as they are.
My house is in Southern Pines. Is that too far out for you?
Not at all. We have bought houses in Pinehurst, right next door, and we buy in Southern Pines, Aberdeen and the rest of Moore County. If the owner died, the Moore County Clerk of Superior Court in Carthage handles the estate.
Towns around Fayetteville
We also buy in Hope Mills, Spring Lake, Raeford, Lillington, Sanford, Pinehurst and Southern Pines.
The towns around Fort Bragg fall in five counties. Each county has its own clerk of superior court for estates and foreclosure hearings, so check which county your house is in before anything gets filed. We also buy in Eastover, Stedman, Wade, Godwin, Falcon and Linden, the smaller towns in Cumberland County.
Hope Mills, Cumberland County
Hope Mills sits just south of Fayetteville and grew around a cotton mill that opened beside the dam on Little Rockfish Creek in 1839. That dam holds back Hope Mills Lake in the middle of town, and the town's historic district is on the National Register.
Spring Lake, Cumberland County
Spring Lake is in northwestern Cumberland County, and large parts of its town limits are taken up by Fort Bragg. The town grew fast during World War II because of the post and was incorporated in 1951. From town, Murchison Road heads southeast to downtown Fayetteville.
Raeford, Hoke County
Raeford is the Hoke County seat, about 22 miles west of Fayetteville on US 401, and the main post reaches into Hoke County. The courthouse and the old downtown are both on the National Register, and Hoke County estates are handled by the clerk of superior court in Raeford.
Lillington, Harnett County
Lillington is the Harnett County seat, and the Cape Fear River crosses the north side of town. US 401 runs south from here to Fayetteville. Part of Fort Bragg reaches into Harnett County too, and estates go through the clerk at the courthouse in Lillington.
Sanford, Lee County
Sanford is the Lee County seat, northwest of Fayetteville. It grew up as a railroad town and a place that made brick from the local clay, and its older streets include the Rosemount-McIver Park and Hawkins Avenue historic districts. Estates go through the Lee County Clerk of Superior Court in Sanford.
Pinehurst and Southern Pines, Moore County
We have bought houses in Pinehurst, the village in southern Moore County that was founded in 1895 and laid out with curving lanes around a central green. Southern Pines borders it to the east, began as a winter health resort and was incorporated in 1887. Estates in both go through the Moore County clerk in Carthage, the county seat.
