Selling a home isn’t always simple — and it’s rarely just about the house.
At Andy Richardson, RE/MAX Essential, we help Wilmington homeowners navigate tough or uncertain situations with clarity, options, and respect. Whether you need to sell quickly for cash, want protection while listing traditionally, or simply need honest answers, our goal is the same: help you choose the path that makes the most sense for you.
No pressure. No one-size-fits-all approach.
Who We Are
Meet Andy Richardson
I’m Andy Richardson — a licensed real estate agent, active real estate investor, and the founder of Andy Richardson, RE/MAX Essential.
I started this company after seeing too many homeowners in Wilmington feel stuck between two extremes:
agents who could only help if everything was perfect, and investors who only offered one low, take-it-or-leave-it solution.
That didn’t sit right with me.
Over the years, I’ve worked with homeowners in just about every situation you can imagine — foreclosure concerns, inherited properties, homes that needed work, rentals that became a burden, and houses that simply wouldn’t sell the traditional way. What I learned quickly is that most people don’t need pressure — they need options and clarity.
That’s why I built Andy Richardson, RE/MAX Essential differently.
What makes us different is simple — we’re both:
- Licensed, reputable real estate agents, and
- Active professional home buyers
That combination allows us to offer homeowners real choices instead of forcing a single solution. Some sellers need speed and certainty. Others want to maximize price. Many aren’t sure yet. We meet you where you are and explain your options clearly.
How We Help Wilmington Homeowners
We work with homeowners across Wilmington, New Hanover County, and surrounding areas who are dealing with situations like:
- Needing to sell a house fast
- Foreclosure concerns
- Inherited or probate properties
- Vacant or unwanted homes
- Rentals that have become a burden
- Homes that need repairs
- Properties that didn’t sell previously
Every situation is different. That’s why we focus on understanding your goals first — not pushing a transaction.
