North Carolina
Ratifyly reads the North Carolina Offer to Purchase and Contract (Form 2-T) the moment it lands, confirming the deal has its required paperwork — the RPOADS and Mineral/Oil-and-Gas disclosures under NCGS 47E, plus federal lead-paint for older homes. It maps the one deadline that defines an NC deal, the Due Diligence Period, alongside the Due Diligence Fee, earnest money, and Settlement Date, and flags anything missing — broker, agent, and client all watching the same transaction through the attorney's closing table.
The contracts we read
Standard Form 2-T, the Offer to Purchase and Contract (jointly approved by NC REALTORS® and the NC Bar Association), with companion forms (2-G guidelines, 12-T new construction, the 2A addenda series). NC is an attorney-closing state.
But Ratifyly isn't limited to those. Because it reads the document itself— not a fixed template — it handles whatever version an agent actually uses: the statewide association form, a regional or local board form, an attorney-drafted contract, or a brokerage's own paperwork. And it reads the whole packet, not just the contract — disclosures, addenda, the closing disclosure, title commitment, inspection reports, wire instructions, and more — so nothing in the file goes unreviewed.
Required paperwork we check
- Residential Property and Owners' Association Disclosure Statement (RPOADS) — NC Residential Property Disclosure Act, NCGS Ch. 47E (NCREC Form 4.22); late delivery gives a 3-day rescission right
- Mineral and Oil and Gas Rights Mandatory Disclosure (MOG) — NCGS Ch. 47E, before the offer
- Federal lead-based paint disclosure for homes built before 1978
Deadlines we track
- Due Diligence Period — a single negotiated window (commonly ~14–28 days) to investigate everything and terminate for any reason
- Due Diligence Fee — paid to the seller at execution; nonrefundable except on seller breach
- Earnest Money — refundable if the buyer terminates by the end of Due Diligence
- Settlement Date — a party not ready gets an automatic 7-day delay before breach
