Owning a property hours away is harder than it sounds: tenants call at night, repairs happen without you seeing them, and taxes and insurance keep rising. ENC Home Solutions buys properties across Pitt County and Eastern North Carolina from owners who live out of town or out of state, and most of the sale can be done without you making the trip.
ENC Home Solutions is a family-owned cash home buyer in Greenville, North Carolina, buying houses, land and mobile homes across Pitt County and Eastern North Carolina since 2020, with 150+ properties bought and counting.
Why do out-of-town owners sell?
- An inherited property they never planned to own or manage. See Inherited and Probate Property.
- A rental that stopped making sense after repairs, vacancies or a difficult tenant. See Sell a Rental With Tenants.
- A vacant property that collects code notices, break-ins or overgrown yards. See Sell a Vacant Property.
- A move for work or family that left a property behind. See Relocating.
- Rising costs that turned a small profit into a monthly loss.
What costs are rising for owners in North Carolina?
Insurance is the big one. North Carolina homeowners insurance base rates went up about 7.5% on June 1, 2025 and another 7.5% on June 1, 2026 under a 2025 settlement. For rental and other non-owner-occupied properties, dwelling insurance rates are rising an average of 10% over two years: 5% on October 1, 2026 and 5% more on October 1, 2027. Property taxes and repairs keep coming whether the property earns money or not.
Can I sell without coming to North Carolina?
Usually, yes. A family member, property manager, tenant or lockbox can let us in for the walk-through. You get the written offer by email, review the contract electronically, and sign the closing papers in front of a notary where you live, then mail them to the closing attorney. The closing attorney handles payoffs and sends your money by the method you arrange with their office.
What if the property has tenants?
That is fine. We buy rentals with tenants in place. The leases generally stay in effect after the sale, and security deposits transfer to the new owner at closing.
How does selling to ENC Home Solutions work?
- Call us or fill out the form. Tell us the address and a little about the property.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fix anything before I sell?
