An empty property keeps costing you money every month, and it gets harder to sell the longer it sits. ENC Home Solutions buys vacant houses, mobile homes and land across Pitt County and Eastern North Carolina for cash, as they are, so you can stop paying to hold a property nobody lives in.
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.
What does an empty property really cost?
Even with nobody living there, the bills keep coming:
- Property taxes, which in Pitt County turn delinquent after January 6 and start building interest. See Behind on Property Taxes.
- Insurance. Many standard homeowner policies limit coverage once a home has been vacant for a set period, so you may need a vacant-property policy, which often costs more.
- Utilities and upkeep, including lawn mowing and keeping the heat on in winter so pipes do not freeze.
- Repairs that grow, such as a small roof leak or a crawl space problem nobody notices for months.
- Security, since empty properties attract break-ins, copper theft, squatters and code complaints.
Why do properties end up vacant?
- The owner passed away and the estate has not sold it yet. See Inherited and Probate Property.
- The owner moved for work, the military or family. See Relocating.
- A rental went empty and needs too much work to rent again. See Sell a Rental With Tenants.
- The property needs repairs the owner cannot afford. See Sell a Property That Needs Major Repairs.
- A family member moved into assisted living or a nursing home.
Can I sell a vacant property that has code violations or has been condemned?
Yes. We buy properties with open code violations, condemned notices, boarded windows, overgrown lots and missing utilities. Any fines or liens are typically paid off at closing from the sale price, and the closing attorney confirms the exact payoffs.
I live out of town. How do we handle the walk-through?
A family member, neighbor or lockbox can let us in, or we can coordinate access with you by phone. You review the offer by email and can usually sign the closing papers by mail in front of a notary where you live.

Yes. We buy vacant lots, farmland and wooded tracts, including land with several owners.

That is fine. We can walk the property without power or water and buy it that way.
How fast can we close?
You choose the closing date, whether that is soon or after the family has time to sort things out.
Will you buy a vacant house with squatters?
Tell us the situation. We buy many hard properties and will let you know honestly.

Yes, including ones with storm damage, missing utilities or overgrown lots.
