Working with Seth Barbee of the Saltwater Agency was an absolute pleasure! He is very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and was always available to answer questions. He listened to my checklist of what I was looking for in a new home and found me a home that checked all of the boxes! I highly recommend Seth and rate my experience five stars.

Seth Barbee guided us through the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one. He was a constant professional, good negotiator and communicator. Selling and buying a home is never easy but Seth’s calm and no drama demeanor made him a delight to work with and we would highly recommend Seth and Saltwater Agency for your real estate transactions.

Jeff assured Teresa and I from day one that he could find us a home in Calabash that would meet our budget and retirement dreams to be in this coastal area of North Carolina. He never let go of directing us to homes and searching possibilities. Jeff took ownership of our dream…After some time, we located a house in Carolina Shores exactly where we wanted to be. The price, after negotiations with the seller, met our budget allowing us to move in and then make some improvements in our time to make it truly ours. We are excited to start this new chapter in our life. In the process Jeff has become a trusted friend. You will be hard to find anyone better at their profession.
