Beautiful home, not-so-great location (busy road , near traffic lights) but this parking issue was the final deal breaker.

Incredible century home appealed to me but the busy road did not. Also, the narrow driveway between the property and the house next door was not great but manageable. We then learned that 5 feet of the width of the driveway was legally owned by the neighbours. The real estate agent had not disclosed this. We disovered this on our own. So there was a decades-old informal agreement between the seller and the neighbours, but nothing was signed . If the neighbours ever sold their house, there was no guarantee that the new owners would agree to the use of that 5 feet. Thus, we could park our car, but not be able to open the car door if the new owners opted for a fence etc. Why the listing agent didn't mention this is beyond me. I assume the issue would have come to light , but it should have been stated openly.

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

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...
