Is bird dogging illegal in North Carolina?
Hello BP members. I recently hired a bird dog for me and he sent me back he couldn't work with me in NC because he heard it was illegal to bird dog in NC. So i did some due diligence and looked into it,and according for what i can understand( well you know reading laws requires beyond a college education to understand them some times), states in my translation that a licensed agent/brokers that hires a third party to get buyers/sellers is unlawful,but a private transaction is not unlawful unless a third party such as wholesaler may be considered as unlicensed brokerage. I contacted a paralegal adviser that specializes in real estate ,and she stated that wholesaling is legal in NC but it is your due diligence to go to court house at dep,of deeds and do a check on the property and make sure there is no judgments against the property to save aggravation at the closing process,the fee is $40-$70 depending on county she replied. If this is all true maybe it would be worth the 40-70 dollars to make sure the property is free and clear to save the hassle and get the buyer or seller angry and loose the deal( i don't want to get the reputation to selling sour houses to my potential repeat buyer). I hope this was helpful and i am looking forward to hearing from your feed back,this could be advice or asking for advice to make sure i fully understand this law, some times understanding the law is like understanding greek.
