Historic Preservation Easement headaches - ISO lender who is comfortable with this

My house is being designated as a historic resource. Lender must subordinate (sign off) on a historic preservation easement. My current lender (Fifth Third) is terrible, their customer service people are unable to help. Even the higher-ups eventually got me some paperwork to fill out, indicating Fannie Mae requires an appraisal - fine, I can work with that. But I want to ensure that the appraiser understands the pros and cons of the preservation easement - in particular that the house itself is eligible for $50k in grant funds for any restorative work. It's gotta be a win win for everyone! But this bank is so poorly run, I cannot even get a human to speak with me so that I can explain what I am seeking. They just want me to file some papers and pay a $500 fee, no conversation first.

So, if anyone can recommend a lender who is comfortable with this, I would be very happy to refinance with them and continue the subordination process. Note that this isn't a typical HELOC subordination, but it's like pulling teeth explaining to my lender that these are different.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
