North Carolina Real Estate Leads
Pulled From Court Records, Not Title Scrapes
North Carolina runs most foreclosures as power-of-sale proceedings filed with the county Clerk of Superior Court, and handles estates and guardianships through that same clerk. We pull those filings the day they hit the public docket. Pre-foreclosure, probate, guardianship, partition, and pre-probate filings, delivered court-direct, the same day they're filed, before any aggregator's list even picks them up.
Lead Types We Pull in North Carolina
Every one is a real court filing, delivered the day it is filed, with owner and property data.
Pre-Foreclosure
The complaint hits the court docket the day the lender files, and the day it lands in your dashboard. Lists built downstream of the court action arrive weeks or months later.
Divorce
Most divorces never reach the recorder office. Aggregators capture a fraction of what's actually filed. We pull from the court system itself: every petition, every county.
Probate
Most platforms sell a deceased-owner flag inferred from title records. You get the actual probate petition: case number, filing date, executor name, hearing schedule.
Guardianship
When a court appoints a guardian with authority to sell an incapacitated owner's real property, the home often gets sold to fund their care. A motivated sale almost nobody else is watching for.
Tax Sale
Owners behind on property taxes with a tax sale moving against the home. The clock is running before the sale is final and most still hold real equity, so many look to sell first.
Partition
Court-ordered sales where co-owners are forcing the sale of a jointly owned property. The owners want out, and it lives only in civil court filings, never in aggregator databases.
Pre-Probate
Reach the family of a recently deceased homeowner before the estate ever enters probate, before a probate attorney is retained and before the home is listed. The earliest, lowest-competition window there is. Once lawyers and the court take over, the deal gets slower, more crowded, and harder to close.

What's Included in Every North Carolina Lead
What North Carolina Investors Ask
How long does a North Carolina foreclosure take from filing to sale?
Most North Carolina foreclosures are non-judicial power-of-sale proceedings filed as a Special Proceeding with the county Clerk of Superior Court. After the notice and hearing, a sale is scheduled, followed by a 10-day upset-bid period during which the sale is not final and higher bids can still be entered. From the initial filing through that upset-bid window you have time to reach the homeowner before the property changes hands. (Source: N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 45, Article 2A.)
Does Keystone sell North Carolina divorce leads?
No. North Carolina's eCourts system does not expose current-year civil-district (divorce) case filings for public lookup, so we do not offer North Carolina divorce leads. North Carolina coverage is pre-foreclosure, probate, guardianship, partition, and pre-probate. If the state opens current divorce records to public search, we will add them.
Which North Carolina counties do you cover?
All 100 North Carolina counties are set up, spanning Charlotte (Mecklenburg), Raleigh (Wake), Greensboro (Guilford), Winston-Salem (Forsyth), Durham, and Fayetteville (Cumberland), through to the rural and coastal counties. Every county activates when claimed and is delivered court-direct, the same day cases are filed. The full list is above.
How is a lead delivered the same day the case is filed?
North Carolina's eCourts portal publishes filings to the public record continuously. We pull the docket overnight, confirm ownership against the statewide North Carolina OneMap parcel layer, add property data (owner phones on demand), and deliver leads to your dashboard the next morning.
What does a North Carolina county subscription cost?
North Carolina counties are priced one county at a time by court-filing volume: $19 to $449 per month per county. Your monthly price is locked for 12 months from signup. See exact pricing for every North Carolina county.

Common Questions
Where can I find off-market real estate leads in North Carolina?
Keystone Court Data pulls off-market filings from North Carolina court records the day they are filed: pre-foreclosure, probate, divorce, and tax-sale cases across the counties we cover. North Carolina runs foreclosures through the Special Proceedings (SP) calendar and decedent estates through the Estates (E) calendar in each county. Keystone covers all 100 NC counties via a statewide eCourts feed. See the state coverage page at https://keystonecourtdata.com/states/north-carolina for the list of built counties.
How does the North Carolina foreclosure process work for investors?
North Carolina is a non-judicial-foreclosure state for most lenders, but the case is still filed at the county clerk's office under the Special Proceedings (SP) calendar. The clerk holds a hearing, usually within 30 to 90 days of filing, to confirm that the lender has the right to foreclose. If confirmed, the property is sold at a courthouse auction within roughly 30 days, subject to a 10-day upset-bid period afterward. End-to-end can run as fast as 4 months. The earliest reachable window is right after the SP filing hits the docket, well before the hearing.
