Steve Peterson
★★★★★

I sold my home of 25 years to Franklin and Crystal Witter of New Again Houses in Wilson because I KNEW they would transform my old 1940s bungalow back into a historic home with a future. They were fair with me every step of the way; from the purchase price to scheduling, offer to closing. Extremely professional and trustworthy. On a personal level, I have known the Witters for over 25 years and their integrity is beyond anything else you will find in this market. Even after the purchase, they showed me step by step as they renovated and transformed my old house into a home and allowed me to view the finished product before they sold it. It gave me such a moment of closure to know someone else would love this home like my family had. That was above and beyond my expectations. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised with how easy selling your home will be and enjoy seeing it transformed. Five stars!

New Again Houses and Franklin Witter do a great job for their customers. Franklin and his team pay the upmost attention attention to every detail of a property to make sure that their product is quality and durable. I cannot recommend this team enough for their diligence and integrity.

Franklin purchased a property from clients of mine who just weren't a good candidate for a traditional sale. He took a really fair approach, treated my clients with kindness and professional courtesy, and was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. He has great communication and acts with integrity. I truly appreciated his transparency and straightforward approach. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home to an investor.

Lynn Williams
★★★★★

I can't say enough about Crystal and Frank Witter, and the amazing work they do to bring old houses back to new life. They bought my grandmother's 1950 home, which had fallen into deep disrepair, and created a stunning, contemporary living space. The house was important to us, and we wanted to see it restored for a new generation, a new family. It was not an easy task. But the Witters were thoughtful, creative and diligent in their work, and it was such a joy to watch the house's transformation from old to new. Great people, great work!

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Your Home for Cash in Smithfield, NC

What areas around Smithfield do you buy houses in?

All of Smithfield and the rest of Johnston County, including Selma, Pine Level, Micro, Four Oaks, Benson, Princeton, Kenly and Clayton, plus Wilson and Black Creek. Franklin and Crystal Witter own New Again Houses Triangle East and live in the area, so you're working with local buyers, not a call center.

Will you buy my house as-is?

Yes. We buy houses in any condition, whether that means an old roof, a wet crawlspace, outdated wiring or plumbing, termite damage, storm damage or a renovation that never got finished. You don't need to clean, repair or stage anything, and you can leave behind whatever you don't want to take.

Are there any fees or commissions?

No. There are no agent commissions or hidden fees, and we cover the closing costs. The offer we agree on is what you receive at closing.

What happens after I accept your offer?

North Carolina closings are handled by a real estate attorney, so we open the file with a local closing attorney. They run the title search, prepare the deed and pay off any mortgage or liens from the sale proceeds. At closing you sign the deed, and your funds are sent by wire transfer or check.

How fast can I sell my house in Smithfield?

You can close in as little as 7 days. Because we pay cash, there's no appraisal, lender or financing contingency to wait on. If you need more time to move, you pick the closing date.

My house flooded from the Neuse River. Will you buy it?

Yes. Hurricanes Floyd in 1999, Matthew in 2016 and Florence in 2018 sent the Neuse River into low-lying parts of Smithfield and along the river through Johnston County. We buy flood-damaged houses as-is, including ones that were gutted, partly repaired or never touched since the water went down.

My house is older and needs a lot of work. Is it worth anything?

Yes. Many homes in Smithfield and Selma were built in the early and mid-1900s and now need a new roof, wiring, plumbing or crawlspace work. Restoring older houses is what Franklin and Crystal do, so we make our offer on the house as it stands and take on the repairs ourselves. Learn more: https://newagainhouses.com/blog/how-to-sell-an-old-house-that-needs-renovations

Johnston County is growing fast. Why would I sell for cash instead of listing?

If your house is updated and move-in ready, listing may be the right call. But buyers shopping in a growing county often compare older houses with new construction, and a house that needs work can sit or get offers that fall apart after the inspection. Selling for cash means no repairs, showings or financing delays, and a closing date you pick. Learn more: https://newagainhouses.com/blog/should-you-sell-your-house-to-a-cash-buyer-or-use-an-agent

I inherited a house in Johnston County. How does probate work?

In North Carolina, an estate is opened with the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the owner lived, which for Johnston County is the courthouse in Smithfield. The clerk appoints an executor or administrator, and notice to creditors is published, which gives creditors at least three months to file claims. Depending on the will, the executor can sell the house or may need the clerk's approval, or the heirs can sign the deed together. We work alongside an estate attorney and can close on whatever timeline the estate needs. Learn more: https://newagainhouses.com/blog/sell-a-house-in-probate

Can I sell my house with tenants still living in it?

Yes. We can buy your house with tenants in place and take over the lease, so you don't need to wait for it to end or ask anyone to move out. Learn more: https://newagainhouses.com/blog/how-to-sell-a-house-with-tenants

My house is on a well and septic system. Can you still buy it?

Yes. Many homes in rural Johnston County are on a private well and septic system rather than town water and sewer. A failing septic system or a well that needs work can stall a traditional sale, because buyers' lenders often want inspections and repairs first. We pay cash, so we can buy the house with the well and septic as they are.

I'm behind on my mortgage or property taxes. Can you still buy my house?

Yes. Most North Carolina foreclosures use a power-of-sale process with a hearing before the Clerk of Superior Court, followed by a sale and a 10-day upset-bid period. You can sell at any point before the sale is final. Unpaid property taxes add interest every month, and the county can eventually foreclose for them too. In either case, the past-due amounts are paid off from the sale proceeds at closing, and you keep what's left.
