Step 1: Start Your Search Online
The first step in your relocation journey is exploring the housing market in your desired area. Online tools make it easy to start your search from anywhere in the country.
Leverage Online Resources
Websites like Realscout, Zillow, Redfin, and Trulia allow you to browse thousands of homes in North Carolina from the comfort of your current home. You can filter your search based on price, location, size, and features, giving you a sense of what’s available in your budget. Many listings also include high-quality photos, virtual tours, and detailed descriptions.
Understand the Market
Browsing online is an excellent way to get familiar with the NC housing market, but it’s important to remember that these platforms only provide part of the picture. To truly understand market trends, neighborhood characteristics, and pricing, you’ll need the expertise of a local professional.
Step 2: Partner with a Certified Relocation Expert

Step 4: Viewing Homes from Afar
When relocating from out of state, visiting every potential home in person may not be feasible. Fortunately, digital tools and Dwain’s professional assistance make it possible to thoroughly evaluate properties remotely.
Virtual Tours and Showings
- Many listings now include virtual tours, allowing you to explore properties in 3D. These tools provide a detailed view of the home’s layout and features.
- Dwain can arrange live virtual showings, where he walks you through the property via video call, answering your questions and focusing on areas of interest.
In-Person Visits
If you’re able to travel, Dwain will curate a personalized itinerary of homes to visit in person. These tours are efficient and well-organized, ensuring you make the most of your time in North Carolina.
Step 5: Making Offers on Homes You Love

Crafting a Strong Offer
- Dwain provides a detailed market analysis to help you determine a competitive yet reasonable offer price.
- He guides you through the offer process, ensuring that your terms are clear and favorable.
Negotiation Expertise
Negotiations can be particularly challenging when buying remotely. Dwain acts as your advocate, skillfully navigating counteroffers and contingencies to secure the best possible deal.
Step 6: Closing on Your New Home
The final step in your relocation journey is closing on your new home. Dwain handles the details, ensuring that the process is smooth and stress-free.
Inspection and Appraisal Coordination
If you can’t be present for inspections or appraisals, Dwain will represent your interests, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Collaborating with Lenders and Attorneys
Relocation often involves working with lenders and attorneys in different states. Dwain’s experience ensures clear communication between all parties, avoiding delays or misunderstandings.
