How long does it take Mecklenburg to process Order of Possession?

[Kurt H.]

I recently filed the paperwork for an Order of Possession against an occupant in a recently purchased foreclosed home in Charlotte, NC.  Can anyone tell me the typical time it take for the Court to process the paperwork and issue the Order to the Sheriff?  Thanks in advance.

Kurt, My property manager had to evict a tenant last year from a duplex I have in Charlotte. It took about a month to complete the eviction process. Then they put padlocks on the door and then there was a ten day waiting period. Not sure if the eviction process is similar to your process but thought I'd share my experience. If you feel you need help a great contact is Kevin Stringari. He runs a company called Bottom Line Realty and Management in Charlotte. He's very responsive, great customer service and great management. Stay away from TR Lawing. They are one of the oldest property managers in Charlotte, one of the biggest and they have AMO accreditation. So they look good on the surface but they have bad customers service and their vendors charge unrealistic amounts. Save yourself the pain and stay clear of them.
