Please help! I have a sub to deal negotiated in North Carolina and need a little guidance.

[Matt Skinner]

So here's the deal:

I have a 'subject to' deal negotiated with a Seller who's house is in North Carolina.  I have never purchased property in North Carolina so I am unfamiliar with the process there.

In CA I just have my seller notarize a grant deed and have my title guy file it at the County Recorders office and PRESTO!  I own it.

Does it work the same way in North Carolina?  I am getting mixed messages from real estate attorneys and real estate agents (big surprise) in the local market.

Please help.
