What Our Clients Say

We are very proud of the service we provide. See what our client have to say about us, our properties and services.

Bought and sold a home in 2021 in Sunset Beach, NC

We recently used Sarah for a sale in 12/2020 and a purchase in 08/2021.
She was excellent, always available and never kept you waiting for something. She was efficient and knowledgeable. With us being from out of state, she went above and beyond helping with the little things that needed to get done that were really outside the scope of what agents generally do. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great agent.

Agent: Sarah Herald

Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in Sunset Beach, NC

I love working with Sarah on the purchase of my house lot! She is very knowledgeable about the area, very willing to work on my behalf and is still helping me after the fact. I will definitely enjoy living in the neighborhood that she serves and I will absolutely be referring my friends to her!

Agent: Sarah Herald

Bought a home in 2020 in Belville, NC

The BEST! We got him by sheer luck! We were contemplating buying land and building. A year and half prior to buying. When we decided to get serious and look for houses, we had already looked around. My husband told me of one more house. We were at the house and saw a sign in the yard, called, and they sent Johnnie. He’s the nicest person you will ever meet. Honest, very helpful, not pushy, and knows the business!
We really appreciate all he did for us,
The Deans

Showed home in 2022 in Wilmington

Me and my family just spent the weekend being driven around by Seth in an effort to explore the Wilmington, NC and surrounding area real estate market. Seth provided key data on community size, dates of build-out, builder info, and provided a comprehensive list of communities to review in lead-up to our visit. He was responsive on the phone, email, and text. With Seth’s guidance we narrowed down our list of choices from over a dozen communities to three, all of them being strong contenders for when we move. We will definitely seek to work with Seth when it comes time to purchase property.

Agent: Seth Barbee

Bought a Condo home in 2021 in Calabash, NC

We met with Seth in 2019 when he showed us condos in the Calabash area. On that visit, we didn’t find what we were looking for. We never forgot Seth because he was great. He was friendly, no pressure and understood what we were looking for. We continued to look on line and in 2021 we found what we wanted. There was no doubt who we wanted as our agent, Seth Barbee. We were truly blessed to have found him, Seth is EXCELLENT at his job. We don’t hesitate to recommend him. You, too, will be pleased with his work and work ethic.

Agent: Seth Barbee

Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in Carolina Shores, NC

My husband and I were thrilled to have Sarah Herald as our Realtor when buying our Carolina Shores home. She responded very quickly to every email, text and phone call, gave us great advice, and got us a great value on our new home. She works VERY hard for her clients and best of all, gets results! You won’t go wrong with Sarah as your Realtor.

We worked with Steve in January and February of 2020. He was outstanding to work with on our land and build purchase. Steve spent time getting to know us and what our property goals were for our North Carolina purchase. Steve was responsive, understanding, knowledgeable and very kind. We trusted Steve throughout the entire process, would use him again and highly recommend him!

Debbie is an amazing agent. She met all our needs and was very patient with us. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and exactly what you want in a representative working with you to purchase your forever home or vacation home. I highly recommend Debbie, she’s top notch!

Agent: Debbie Chin

Bought a Single Family home in 2017 in Holden Beach, NC

9/14/2017

Highly likely to recommend | 5.0

Extremely professional and knowledgeable about all the areas we were looking for, and very conscientious about helping us find what we wanted. Mr. O’Conner worked with us over a 24 month period until we found exactly what we desired. In addition, he continued to help facilitate the mortgage process and assisted at various points during the process. This included dealing with the listing agent. I am not sure we would have been able to complete the entire process without him. It was a comfort to us knowing he kept a sharp eye on everything. We now have our dream retirement due to John! I would highly recommend John for all your real estate transactions in the Brunswick county area! Thanks John!

Agent: John O'Conner

If you are in search of a realtor please contact her, she is the absolute best and you won’t go wrong!
