FSBO in the Piedmont Triad
Greensboro (and the broader Triad area — Winston-Salem, High Point) has median prices of $260,000–$340,000. North Carolina is FSBO-friendly — no attorney required for closings (though attorneys are commonly used), and the disclosure process is manageable.
Step 1: Price Using Guilford County Data
Guilford County tax records are available online. Use Zillow and Redfin for market context. Irving Park, Friendly, and Lake Jeanette are premium areas; Southeast Greensboro is more affordable.
Step 2: North Carolina Disclosure Requirements
NC General Statute §47E requires sellers to complete a Residential Property Disclosure Statement. Deliver it before or upon contract execution; buyers have 3 days to rescind after receipt.
Also: lead paint for pre-1978 homes. Mineral rights disclosure (OGR form) required.
Step 3: Flat Fee MLS on Triad MLS
The Triad area is served by the Piedmont Triad MLS (PTMLS). Use a flat fee service that covers PTMLS. Budget $275–$375.
Step 4: Attorney or Title Company
North Carolina allows both attorneys and title companies for closings. Attorney closings are standard in Guilford County — budget $600–$900.
