Buying/transferring land from dad

I’ll try to keep this concise but with the needed details. So my dad owns about 4 acres in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma, with my childhood home and grandpa’s house on 2 acres that are currently being rented out. He had avoided putting my stepmom on the deed until recently and I’m betting that things will get messy when one of them passes away. With little hope of home ownership in my future, I was contemplating approaching him about buying an acre or so of land from him that I might one day build a small home to retire in. I guess I was just wondering what this would entail/the right way to go about it. Do I have it appraised and buy it? If he wants to “gift” it to me, can we just file a quit claim deed and he files that on his taxes? Basically, how does this work? And please, explain it to me like I’m five because I honestly don’t really understand most of this. TIA!

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...
