ENC Home Solutions buys houses in New Bern and across Craven County for cash, and we have bought here before. New Bern sits where the Neuse and Trent rivers meet, which makes it beautiful and also exposed: Hurricane Florence in 2018 pushed a storm surge into downtown and nearby neighborhoods and caused heavy damage across the city. Some owners never finished those repairs. Others are tired of rising insurance bills. We buy New Bern homes as they are.
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.
New Bern situations we help with
- Homes with storm, surge or water damage, finished or not
- Historic homes in Riverside or the downtown historic district that need more work than the owner wants to manage
- Inherited properties where the family lives out of state
- Homes whose flood or wind insurance costs have become hard to carry
- Rentals near the base communities that have become more work than they are worth
Do historic district rules make my house harder to sell?
They can. Exterior changes inside a local historic district usually need approval first, which adds time and cost for a buyer planning renovations. We buy historic homes as they are and take on that process after closing.
Where is New Bern property paperwork handled?
New Bern is the Craven County seat. Deeds are recorded with the Craven County Register of Deeds on Pollock Street, estate and foreclosure filings go to the Clerk of Superior Court at the Craven County Courthouse on Broad Street, and property taxes are billed by Craven County Tax Administration and the City of New Bern.
How far do you travel?
We are based in Greenville, roughly 40 miles north, and we are in Craven County regularly. We can walk your property within a few days and close with a local attorney on the date you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Do you buy in Trent Woods, River Bend and James City too?
Yes. We buy throughout New Bern and the surrounding Craven County communities.
My house still has damage from Florence. Will you buy it?
Yes. We buy storm-damaged homes in any stage of repair. See Sell a Property That Needs Major Repairs.
My insurance premium doubled. Is selling my only option?
Not always. Shop your coverage and ask about mitigation discounts first. If the numbers still do not work, a cash sale lets you stop paying for a house you cannot afford to keep.
I live out of state. Can I still sell my New Bern house?
Yes. You can sign by mail with a notary near you. See Out-of-State Owners.
Do you charge fees?
No. No commissions, no fees, and we cover the closing costs.
