When you crunch the numbers, you start to see the real benefits of each way of selling your NC home offers.
Jonathan Swanson, Broker @ RE/MAX Essential helps you decide which approach meets your goals. We can either make you an immediate cash offer or put our experience and expertise to work and list your house on the market for top dollar. We see a lot of houses, in a variety of conditions and situations. We don’t have all the answers, but we can help.
If you sell to us for cash, we won’t be able to offer you the full retail value for your house….but we provide other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.
Like…
From offer to close and cash in your hand usually in as little as 21 days. Maybe less.
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utilities, tax payments, insurance and mortgage payments, you get the drill. If you list your house and wait an unknown number of days to close…you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to close. If you have time, great, let’s do it. We’ll do everything we can to advertise and market your house the same way we would if it were our house.
Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house again and again for buyer tours or showings.
We don’t care how your house “shows” or how dirty your house is (don’t worry, we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? Great! We love projects) we’d like to make an offer on your house regardless of the condition. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket. We may request a visit or two during the contract to closing time frame just to plan for upgrades. What we won’t do is look for repairs so we can renegotiate before closing.
Don’t worry about paying those pesky closing fees (we’ve got you covered).
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in Wilmington NC and Southeastern NC, and we care about our transactions and the people we buy houses from, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer you is the price you get, minus your mortgage payoff, property taxes, or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, right?
Time is money, right? When you consider the time you could save by working with Jonathan Swanson, Broker @ RE/MAX Essential, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route…for many area homeowners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option. Especially if the house needs repairs or updating. We have you covered either way! In some situations, people can’t afford to wait for their house to sell, and can’t put a price on a predictable outcome. We can almost always guarantee a smooth closing. Most often, on the rare occasions where we have delays, it’s due to the title issues related to the property itself. We have excellent closing attorneys who are very good at title research, problem-solving, negotiating and navigating title issues. We can almost always get these issues resolved.
Is it for you? Let’s start the conversation and see if it makes sense for both of us. Call, text or email us anytime. Remember, even if we can’t buy or list your house, we’ll do our best to help you.

Let's Get Started
*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or try to negotiate a new price if there are repairs that they think need to be done. If you can’t agree with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale for ANY reason or NO. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Jonathan Swanson, Broker @ RE/MAX Essential, doesn’t typically use traditional bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close a deal.
