We'd love to hear from you if…
- You own a mobile home park in Wilmington or Southeastern North Carolina — small or mid-size, with park-owned homes, rented lots, or a mix.
- You are tired of collections, turnover and the late-night calls that come with managing a park.
- The park has deferred maintenance — roads, water, septic or sewer, electrical, or older homes that need work.
- You have vacant lots or empty homes and would rather not invest more time or money to fill them.
- You are retiring, stepping back, or settling an estate, or the partners or family are ready to move on.
We're a locally owned small business, serving Wilmington and the Cape Fear area since 2004. We're actively looking for mobile home parks, and every conversation starts with listening — your goals, your residents, and what a good outcome looks like for you.
Ways we can help
Owner (seller) financing
Sell the mobile home park and get paid over time, on terms you agree to up front.
As-is cash purchase on your schedule
No repairs or clean-up before you sell. You choose the closing date — soon, or later if you need time to plan.
Listing on the MLS or off-market
Prefer to see what the market will pay? Jonathan, a licensed NC broker with Sea Gate Realty, Inc., can market it publicly on the MLS or quietly to qualified buyers.
Confidential, discreet conversations
We know word of a possible sale can unsettle residents and staff. Your conversations stay between you and us: no signs and no public listing unless you choose one. We're happy to talk by phone, meet at the property, or meet wherever you're comfortable.
What happens next
Tell us about it
Share whatever you're comfortable with — a call, a text, the chat or the form below. Rough details are fine to start.
We listen first
Jonathan (or his assistant) will follow up to learn about the mobile home park, the people in it, and what you're hoping for. No pressure and no obligation.
Options side by side
Owner financing, an as-is cash purchase, or listing — we lay out how each could work for you.
You decide, on your timeline
Take the time you need. If one path makes sense, we work toward a closing date that suits you.
Owner financing: get paid over time
Thinking about selling a rental? Selling with owner financing (also called seller financing) is one option we're glad to talk through. Instead of being paid all at once at closing, you act as the bank: the buyer pays you monthly over a term you agree to up front, and the loan is secured by the property.
How it works, in plain terms
- You and the buyer agree on the price, down payment, interest rate, monthly payment and length up front.
- The buyer pays you each month, and the loan is secured by the property.
- Tenants in place are fine — we're happy to talk about occupied rentals as they are.
This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Your attorney and CPA should review any owner-financing terms before you agree to them.

Frequently asked questions
Do you buy mobile home parks that need work?
Yes, we are glad to look at parks as they are, including ones with deferred maintenance, vacant lots or older homes. Every park is different, so Jonathan will want to learn about yours before talking about an offer.
How big a park are you looking for?
We are interested in mobile home parks of many sizes across Wilmington and Southeastern North Carolina. Tell us about yours and we will let you know honestly whether we can help.
Do I need my financials ready before we talk?
No. A first conversation can be informal. Later, things like a rent roll, recent income and expenses, and utility details help everyone understand the property.
Will my residents find out I am thinking of selling?
Not from us. Conversations are confidential, and nothing is marketed publicly unless you decide to list.
Can I sell my park with owner financing?
Yes, we are open to owner (seller) financing, where you are paid over time on terms agreed up front. We do not give legal or tax advice, so your attorney and CPA should review any terms.
Can Jonathan list my park instead of buying it?
Yes. Jonathan Swanson is a licensed NC real estate broker (License #231105-NC) with Sea Gate Realty, Inc. and can market your park on the MLS or off-market. If he or an investor he works with makes an offer, his broker status is disclosed in writing.
Which areas do you cover?
Wilmington and New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender and Onslow counties, plus the surrounding areas of Southeastern North Carolina.
Does it cost anything to talk?
No. There is no cost and no obligation to talk with us or to get your options.
