Bought a home in 2023

Mandy is an experienced professional and was very available. She has a great personality and makes the stress of selling and buying a home and selling land easy. Unfortunately, Mandy just helped us find our forever home or I would say we will use her in the future. We will be letting all our friends know about how great Mandy is to work with.

Steve went out of his way to make sure we found the right home for us. He was there anytime we needed and was always happy to help. You’d be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable realtor. Thanks again Steve for everything you did for us!

Agent: Stephen Prokop

Stephen is a great realtor.

Stephen is a great realtor. We have used him for five transactions and everyone of them has been completed without hiccup. He is communicative, regularly provides updates, and double checks his work and the work of other agents to make sure the deal goes through. I highly recommend working with him.

Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in Leland, NC

John was the most helpful and respectful realtor. We worked with John during the most critical time of the Covid Pandemic. Having to do things virtually with regards to buying a new home, was stressful to say the least. However, John made the process smooth and enjoyable! He was extremely responsive to all of our questions. He took the time to show receptive properties virtually and clarify anything that was needed to give us a better understanding of the property. Our experience was successful! We found and purchased a beautiful home, where we are making endless memories. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience we shared with John. We highly recommend him to anyone. We have already given his name to friends and family. We hope to work with him again in the future!

My husband and I have owned property in Brunswick Plantation

My husband and I have owned property in Brunswick Plantation for many years. Due to various circumstances, we never moved there and ended up in Arizona. We tried to sell the property two different times to no avail. A couple of months ago, we received a card from Jeff Lott and decided to try this one more time. We agreed on a reasonable price and within a short time Jeff had an an offer for our property. The timing was right and we were happy to proceed with the sale. Jeff has been an absolute pleasure to work with, a great personality, sales experience and competence. Thank you to Jeff for taking care of us. It has been a pleasure, and I would gladly recommend him for anyone needing a great realtor.

Bought a Vacant Land home in 2022 in Ocean Isle Beach, NC

Mandy is perceptive. She devoted her attention to us and our reactions to various homes so she could better understand our goals. She greatly assisted our search towards areas and homes that met our goals. We were never pushed to see any particular home or to make any particular offer to buy. Mandy was gracious with her time and patient with our search. She was responsive to our inquiries regarding developments, communities, and homes in addition to numerous other questions we had along the way. Once our offer to purchase was accepted, Mandy helped us even more with referrals for and coordination of inspections, insurance, financing, and more. She is still helping us today! Mandy cares a lot about our happiness and helping us achieve our dreams. This is what sets her apart from other real estate agents

Sold a Single Family home in 2022 in Leland, NC

We can’t recommend Seth highly enough! He is straightforward and very knowledgeable. From day one, he steered us in the right direction. He is very responsive with questions and concerns and always answers texts, phone calls and emails in a timely manner. We give Seth high marks in all categories!

Agent: Seth Barbee

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
