Greensboro’s major developers are reshaping the city: Marty Kotis canceled his Publix plan at 1410 Westover Terrace, Andy Zimmerman is proposing apartments and maker space at South Elm and Gate City, and Roy Carroll is building the $62M Carroll at Parkside across from the ballpark. These projects bring growth, walkability, and buzz that will ripple into Midtown Idlewood, raising both opportunity and questions about traffic, green space, and neighborhood character.

In North Carolina, Due Diligence Money is a non-refundable fee paid directly to the seller in exchange for time to investigate the property, while Earnest Money is a refundable deposit held in escrow to show good faith and is only forfeited if the buyer backs out after the due diligence period. Both are paid at contract signing and credited toward the purchase at closing.

Looking to buy a real fixer upper or cash in your own skills on some sweat equity in North Carolina, sellers and their real estate agents are legally required to disclose known material facts to potential buyers.

For instance, if a seller knows about a pending foreclosure notice or a septic system that’s only permitted for three bedrooms (not four), they need to spill the beans.
