Matthew Kane · Founder, Tidal Realty Partners · Wilmington, NC
Matthew is a former United States Marine and a former firefighter — two careers built on doing the right thing under pressure, without an audience. He carried that same standard into real estate when he founded Tidal Realty Partners in 2017.
Over the last nine years, Matthew and the Tidal team have walked alongside 200+ Cape Fear families through some of the hardest chapters they’ve ever faced — inherited homes nobody planned for, divorces that needed a clean split, pre-foreclosure clocks running out, rentals that took more than they gave, relocations that couldn’t wait. Every situation gets the same answer: a straight read on the numbers, no pressure, and a path forward — even when that path leads somewhere other than a cash sale.
We built this process for homeowners who need to move quickly without losing thousands to commissions, repairs, or a deal that falls through at the closing table.
Address and phone — that’s it. Sixty seconds to start a conversation with a licensed local broker, not a call center.
We pull comps, review condition notes you share, and write a real number — not a “we’ll figure it out at the table” lowball.
10 days, 30 days, or after the kids finish the school year. You set the timeline. We bring the cash and handle the rest.
Every situation is different — but most fall into one of these categories. If yours is here, we’ve seen it before and helped someone through it.
Every situation has a name and a family behind it. Here are a few of the people we’ve helped move forward.
“Matthew sat with us at the kitchen table, talked us through every option — including ones that didn’t end with us selling to him. We trusted him because he didn’t act like a buyer. He acted like family.”
“After fifteen years of being a landlord, I just wanted out. Matthew gave me a number I trusted on day one and held it through close. No drama.”
“The roof, the foundation, the plumbing — nothing was right. Three other buyers had walked. Matthew walked through, made an offer, and closed. That was it.”
Onslow County is Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station country — a real estate market where the biggest force is not interest rates, it is orders. We built our Onslow coverage around that reality:
PCS sales, accidental landlords, VA loan questions — the Jacksonville page below is written for service members and their families, by a veteran-owned company.
Fishing-town homes, waterway property, and island rentals owned from three duty stations ago. We buy them as-is, with remote closings for owners stationed anywhere.
Holly Ridge has boomed with families priced toward the coast — and when orders or life move them on, timelines are short. Cash closes inside them.
Jacksonville — PCS sales, tenant-occupied rentals, VA loan questions
Sneads Ferry, Holly Ridge, and North Topsail Beach — call direct: (910) 372-6720
Stationed elsewhere? Every step — offer, paperwork, closing — works remotely. Plenty of our Onslow sellers never set foot in North Carolina during the sale.
Military logistics are our normal: closings timed to terminal leave, funding the day the truck leaves, and powers of attorney when one spouse is deployed — our closing attorneys handle military POAs routinely.
One more honest option: if your BAH math says keep the house and rent it, we will say exactly that. A brokerage has no reason to buy a house that serves you better as a rental — and we would rather earn the call you make three duty stations from now.
Matthew Kane wore the uniform. When you say report date, terminal leave, or TMO pickup, nobody on our side needs a translation — and nobody will waste the days you do not have.

We start with comparable recent sales in your immediate neighborhood — the same comps a traditional listing broker would use. Then we factor in condition, holding costs, and a margin that lets us close fast without financing contingencies. The result is a real number, not a teaser.
If we think a traditional listing would net you more money, we’ll tell you that — even when it costs us the deal.
Yes. Roof, foundation, mold, dated kitchen, tenants still in place, hoarder conditions — we’ve bought all of it. You don’t lift a finger, don’t clean, don’t paint, don’t repair.
Cash closings can happen in 10–14 days from the day we have a signed contract. If you need 30, 60, or 90 days because of moving logistics or a school year, that’s fine too — you set the timeline.
No commissions. No closing fees on our side. The number we offer is the number you walk away with, minus any payoff on the property (mortgage, liens, back taxes).
Then we’ll tell you. Tidal Realty Partners is a full-service brokerage — cash buying is just one division. If listing makes more sense for your situation, Matthew can walk you through that path with the same team. No upsell, no pressure, no awkward switch.
Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Leland, Hampstead, Castle Hayne, Burgaw, and surrounding Cape Fear communities. If your home is within roughly 30 miles of downtown Wilmington, we likely cover it.
60-second form, 24-hour written offer, zero obligation. If a cash sale isn’t the right path, we’ll tell you that too.
