The Coast
Beach towns, sound-front, and the Cape Fear region. Flood zones, wind and hail insurance, and short-term rental rules all matter here.

Watch for a call or text from a North Carolina number.
Statewide coverage
Three regions, 100 counties, one network.
North Carolina markets are very different from one end of the state to the other. Your agent should know the one you're buying in. Tap a town to start your request.
The Triangle, Triad & Charlotte
The fastest-growing metros in the state, with competitive suburbs, new construction, and relocation buyers from all over.
The Mountains
Cabins, acreage, and mountain towns. Steep lots, well and septic, and private road agreements call for an agent who's done it before.
How it works
From request to showing in three steps.
STEP 1
Tell us what you want
Where, how much, and when. One short form, and you're done.
STEP 2
We pick your agent
A person reviews your request and matches you with an agent who works that exact market, not whoever paid for the ad.
STEP 3
Your agent reaches out
Usually within one business day. If it's not a good fit, tell us and we'll match you with someone else.

Questions
Common questions
Does this cost me anything as a buyer?
No. NCBAN is free for buyers. Agents in the network pay a referral fee out of their commission at closing, so nothing is added to your costs.
Do I have to work with the agent you send?
No. There's no obligation. If the agent isn't a fit, tell us and we'll match you with someone else, or you can stop at any time.
How do you choose the agent?
We look at where you're buying, your price range, and what kind of property you want, then match you with an agent who actively works that market and has recent buyer-side closings there.
Will I have to sign a buyer agreement?
Since August 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes. Your agent will walk you through it, including how they're paid. You can ask questions before signing anything.
I'm moving from out of state. Can you help?
Yes. Many of our buyers are relocating. Mention it in the form and we'll match you with an agent who's used to virtual tours and long-distance closings.
