Jim and Lorraine Yaeger

We found Suzanne through Zillow when we embarked upon a search investigating possibilities to relocate from Western New York. We were impressed from initial contact to the conclusion of our purchase with her warmth, knowledge, expertise and professionalism. Best of all, we know that after having worked with her, we have a great friend in her as we begin our new life in beautiful Palmilco County. She genuinely cares for her clients. She is unsurpassed in listening and meeting people and their needs were they truly are. She gives new definition to the term, " Southern Hospitality"! We feel blessed to know her.

Michael Shanker

Suzanne Gwaltney is an excellent real estate agent. She is very knowledgeable and considerate of the needs of the buyer. She takes the time to explain all aspects of purchasing a home from due diligence to closing. I highly recommend Suzanne Gwaltney to anyone looking to purchase real estate in Pamlico County North Carolina.

John Auton

We first contacted Suzanne about the house that she had listed on Janiero Rd in Arapahoe NC. She could of easily pushed that home but we told what we were looking for and our budget for our vacation house. We had a list of requirements for the property. We set up a day to come down from our home in Raleigh NC which is about a two and a half hour drive. Suzanne called us the day of our visit to let us know that it was raining and had been raining. She said if we still wanted to look she was ready. Upon arrival at her office we were greeted like an old friend coming to town. She then showed us four properties that all fit the bill. We ultimately decided on the Janiero Rd property. Wonderful experience with Suzanne.

Suzanne found my dream retirement home that exceeded my expectations! I was looking for waterfront property that would not be subject to flooding when hurricane season comes. Suzanne was instrumental in finding the right property in the right location and at the right price. I owe being in my new home to Suzzane!

Dexter Liu

We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Suzanne Gwaltney in the purchase of our home in North Carolina and would not hesitate to recommend her and her company to anyone seekng to buy or sell in the Oriental, NC and Pamlico County area. Her professionalism is beyond reproach and being an out of state buyer she helped us immeasurably in our quest to find and ultimately purchase the home we were looking for. We could not be happier with our purchase and in working with Suzanne.

Peggy MacDonald

I was a real estate broker/owner in the northeast for 30 years, and thus have a lot of knowledge about the business and its people. Suzanne is as good as they come. She's an excellent listener and understood quickly what I was looking for. She did not waste my time showing properties that would not be suitable, either for location, price, or style. She was very responsive in returning phone calls and emails. Suzanne is very knowledgeable about the area and definitely wanted me to get the right property for me. I highly recommend her.

Linda Troche

Suzanne's expertise and knowledge were above and beyond expectation and her responsiveness was top notch. She lined up every aspect from inspectors to closing with professionalism and impeccable timing as we intended to close before the end of the year. We couldn't have had a better home buying experience, we were certainly blessed with the absolute best agent to guide us through the process! We love our new home and have Suzanne to thank for it for sure! Kevin & Linda

T Cardillio

Moving across country is daunting. Both of us being 60+ made it even more so. Thank goodness we found Suzanne and Larry Gwaltney. From the initial phone contact all the way through to closing they were with us every step. They were knowledgeable, efficient and most of all friendly and welcoming. Even after moving in they continue to offer support and local recommendations. We highly recommend the Gwaltney team and Century 21 Sail/Loft Realty to any and all.

Dave Hughes

Suzanne was the epitome of professionalism from start to finish! From the very beginning she made it feel like we were working with a friend and she stayed with us through the entire process. Buying a house can be a stressful process, but Suzanne made it simple. Thank-you to Suzanne Gwaltney and everyone at CENTURY 21 Sail/Loft Realty for their help and guidance during this adventure!

Michael Brill

Suzanne and Larry went out of their way to make the purchase of our new home go smoothly. Suzanne kept us informed through the whole process. After the sale she was like a neighbor with all the information of the area and business people she recommended. She especially enjoyed meeting our pot bellied pig "Rosebud". If you need to buy or sell a home I highly recommend Suzanne and Larry.

Justin Barbour

I recently had the pleasure of working with Suzanne and Larry Gwaltney when looking for a home in Pamlico County. From the beginning, Suzanne was very responsive with suggestions on what to look for in the property. Throughout the negotiations and closing, Suzanne and Larry were always available for any questions or concerns, quickly handling any issues. I look forward to working with Suzanne and Larry again in the future.

Lorraine Yaeger

We had an excellent experience from start to finish with Suzanne and Larry Gwaltney. We were looking to relocate and had very little time to spend looking at properties. Suzanne devoted an entire day to showing us homes and condos. They all were in our specified price range and preferences. She did not waste our time because of her extensive knowledge of the area and what was available. Everything was set up ahead of time and went like clockwork because of her diligent work beforehand. The next morning, before heading back to Buffalo, NY, we were in their office being professionally guided through the process of putting in an accepted offer... a dream come true thanks to Suzanne and Larry!

Kathy Nielsen

Suzanne and Larry are the best you can ask for in the real estate market. We put offers in on three different properties in the Oriental North Carolina Area and throughout the many difficulties in getting the fair deal between sellers and buyers the were always above board with their honesty and integrity. Whether a buyer or seller they will give everyone the honest truth even after the hurricane. They were with us well after closing helping us understand everything from insurance to explaining utility companies in the area. They also helped us become part of the community.

Christy Hanson

Suzanne Gwaltney was a pleasure to have as our real estate agent. Suzanne never left any questions unanswered and always responded promptly. Friendly and professional. I highly recommend Suzanne Gwaltney and Century 21 Sail Loft Realty.

Robin and Wayne Clark

Suzanne and Larry are a remarkable pair. The best realtors are excellent listeners and this is definitely one of their strengths. This, along with their extensive knowledge of the area, meant they were quickly able to identify potential properties. Our time in Oriental was limited so we very much appreciated their efficiency. With their assistance, we soon found our "forever home". From the offer to the closing (and beyond) Larry and Suzanne have smoothed the way. They have continued to be there for us as we settle in our new town. The respect with which they are held is obvious whenever we mention their names to our neighbors and merchants in town. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

Kathy Workman

Suzanne was wonderful very professional we had a complicated sell with tenants in our home and Suzanne kept everything on track. My husband and I would highly recommend Suzanne as a listing or buyers agent.

Darlene WIllis

If you want to sell your home or buy a home, Suzanne and Larry are the folks to do business with. Very knowledgeable and professional, they know the ends and outs of the business and work hard for their clients. They made sure that when we sold our home that we were taken care of in every aspect. Our home sold very quickly with Suzanne and Larry, and they were there for all of our questions and concerns. We will definitely go with this team if we decide to buy or sell again.

Stuart Moore

Suzanne and Larry Gwaltney have been an absolute delight in every aspect of locating and purchasing a home in Oriental. Their local knowledge is off the charts, their professionalism is first rate, but their greatest trait is how they bring a marvelous warmth to the whole process, which is also exhibited by their staff. When you run into a wrinkle or two in the home buying process, the Gwaltneys smooth them all out with the utmost grace and professionalism. Moving and buying or selling a home can be a stressful time...unless you have the Gwaltneys on you side; then it becomes a wonderful adventure and you're left with a successful transaction and two new friends.

John and Masha Brenneman

We are working with Suzanne and she did not disappoint. Extremely knowledgeable, well prepared and goes above and beyond all expectation. We viewed many properties and found our forever home thanks to Suzanne. I highly recommend Suzanne and Larry. They are a real joy to work with.

Linda Solby

Suzanne Gwaltney is a stellar real estate agent. Not only is she hardworking, knowledgeable and honest, she goes way beyond what is expected of an agent. Because of her promotional and networking skills, she found the perfect buyer for our home. The sale of our home went smoothly without complications because of her attention to detail.

Karen Lander

Suzanne is very professional, but yet she remains so very kind. She is 100% responsive to the needs of her client at all times. She is outstanding to work with! I now consider her a friend! I am so happy with my new home!

Matt and Susan Veberes

Relocating from Ohio in the fall of 2018, we were referred to Suzanne Gwaltney of Sail Loft Reality. We were so blessed to have her working with us. She was absolutely WONDERFUL! She had a great knowledge of the surrounding area and knew exactly what we were looking for. From the work she did prior to our initial trip, communication during the buying process was timely and ongoing, and then most importantly, through the devastation of hurricane Florence she continued to work. She is a true professional and dedicated to her clients. She was very responsive to our needs and was always available when we needed her to be. She has pretty much become part of our extended family and a true friend as a result of our purchase process. If you are moving to Oriental or the surrounding communities… there is only one realtor to use… and that is Suzanne Gwaltney of Sail Loft Reality.
