I worked with Sarah Nelms to find my perfect home here in Wilmington from out of state. Sarah is not only personable, efficient, and knowledgeable but advocated for me every step of the way. The team at Unchartered Realty has been a dream to work with.

Sarah Nelms is the kind of Realtor you want on your side. After six months of careful planning with the buyer, she stayed patient, never pushed, and when the time was right — she struck. Sarah identified an underpriced home the moment it hit the market, moved quickly with a strong offer, and got it under contract without missing a beat. On top of that, she negotiated seller credits and took full advantage of the opportunity — truly having her client’s back every step of the way.

If you’re looking for someone sharp, strategic, and 100% in your corner — you can’t do better than Sarah. I’m looking forward to working together again!
