Who Are We? Are We The RIGHT CHOICE?
Hello, I’m Jonathan!
I’ve lived in Wilmington since 1995 and began investing in real estate in 2004 after leaving the corporate world. I focus on rentals, fix-and-flips, and new construction.
I’ve also served on the board of the Coastal Carolina Real Estate Investment Association to support local investors and promote real estate education.
As a Broker with Sea Gate Realty, I help homeowners sell fast, as-is, and on their terms, especially in tough situations like foreclosure.

Can I sell my Fixer-Uppers without making repairs?
Yes, you absolutely can sell your fixer-uppers. Many homeowners believe they need to fix up the property before listing it, but that’s not always necessary, especially if you’re selling to a cash buyer like Jonathan Swanson, Broker @ Sea Gate Realty, Inc.. Here’s what you need to know:
SAVE a lot of time and money
If you tight in budget then you can just skip the costly repairs, inspections, and renovations for your fixer-uppers. We buy homes exactly as they are.
Cleaning is NOT REQUIRED
If you’re okay to leave behind what you don’t want, then you can leave it. We can handle everything, even if the home is cluttered or damaged.
Close much FASTER
Got a timeline to sell your fixer-uppers? Since we buy directly and with cash, we can close in as little as a few days ahead of your schedule.
Bottomline: If your house needs work but you need to sell it fast, we’re ready to buy it as-is.
Frequently Asked Questions on Inherited Homes
What if I can’t afford to fix up the house before selling it?
You don’t have to.
If it’s not clear enough, at Jonathan Swanson, Broker @ Sea Gate Realty, Inc., we buy fixer-uppers exactly as they are. We’re not kidding! No repairs, cleaning, or updates needed. We’ll make you a cash offer and you can skip the renovation stress completely.
And if you’re not sure what to do, you can message us and we’ll guide you through your options and help you decide whether what to do with your house.
I started fixing up my house but never finished. My question is, can I still sell it?
Absolutely. We love unfinished projects. Believe it or not, it is also pretty common and we’re used to buying properties mid-renovation.
The house I own has serious damage, will anyone even buy it?
Yes. Even if your home has fire damage, water issues, foundation problems, or major repairs needed, someone will buy it after a few clean-up here and there. Of course, if you’re up for it, we’re ready to make you a cash offer. We also specialize in distressed and damaged homes.
I’ve had my fixer-upper on the market for months with no luck.
Sad to hear that.
Most traditional buyers are looking for move-in-ready homes and properties that need repairs often get overlooked or heavily negotiated. Often, homebuyers leave mid-conversation.
Perhaps, instead of waiting any longer, consider selling directly to us or something similar. We can make you a fair cash offer in 24–48 hours and close on your schedule.
Can I sell my fixer-upper even if it’s vacant or abandoned?
Yes. Vacant or abandoned homes often attract fines or unwanted attention. So if you need to get rid of it, we can help you since we buy abandoned properties.
Do I need to remove all my stuff before selling my fixer-upper?
Not at all. Take what you want and leave the rest. We’ll take care of anything left behind—furniture, junk, or even construction debris.
