Selling for cash means you can avoid ongoing costs like utilities, taxes, insurance, and mortgage payments.

If you have the time, great —we’ll market your property with the same care we’d give our own.
No need to worry about cleaning or prepping your house for showings.
We don’t care how your home “shows” or how many repairs it needs (even if it’s a fixer-upper — we love projects!). We’re ready to make an offer, no matter the condition. This method saves you time and money. We may ask for a visit or two before closing to plan any upgrades, but we won’t use that as an excuse to renegotiate.

As a full-service professional home buyer in Wilmington, NC, and Southeastern NC, we make the process easy. We cover all closing costs, so the price we offer is the price you get (minus your mortgage payoff, property taxes, or any other encumbrances). Pretty refreshing, right?

*An inspection contingency gives the buyer time to inspect the property and either renegotiate the price or walk away from the deal if repairs are needed. If no deal is made, the buyer can cancel the sale for any reason.
Similarly, a financing contingency allows the buyer to back out if they’re unable to secure a loan or if the property doesn’t appraise at the value required by the lender.
At Jonathan Swanson, Broker @ Sea Gate Realty, Inc., we don’t rely on traditional bank financing, so you never have to worry about our ability to close the deal.
