Preciso isso seja resolvido já.
Missing the conjunction 'que' after 'preciso'.
Preciso que isso está resolvido já.
Uses indicative 'está' instead of subjunctive 'seja'.
Preciso que isso resolva já.
While 'resolva' is a valid subjunctive, it changes the nuance to a more informal request; keep 'seja resolvido' for a neutral tone.

Cultural Tip
The construction 'preciso que + subjuntivo' is common in formal or written Portuguese. In very informal speech Brazilians might drop the 'que' and say 'Preciso isso resolvido já' (which is grammatically incorrect) or use 'preciso que isso resolva logo'—the latter keeps the subjunctive but changes the nuance to a more colloquial tone. Also, 'já' can sound demanding; in polite contexts you might replace it with 'o quanto antes' (as soon as possible).
