Non-refundable

North Carolina is one of the few states where buyers pay a negotiated, non-refundable due-diligence fee on MLS purchases — a distinctive cost structure that makes no-contingency cash offers more attractive to NC sellers.

5–6% commission

Typical combined buyer's agent + listing agent commission on a traditional NC home sale — a direct cost that cash sales eliminate entirely when selling direct to a buyer.
