“Jeff showed us properties in our price range and those that met our needs. Ashli was great to work with and very responsive to questions and concerns. They recommended a carpet installer who did excellent work and was very reasonable. Jeff and Ashli were with us at closing and efficiently handled a few last minute snags.”
“Neil is great! He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely refer him to anyone that asks if I know a local agent.”
“Kelly Bossman was wonderful to work with. She made herself available for any and all questions and very supportive even when I was 'clueless' about the whole process. Very thankful to have had her at my side!”
“I had an amazing experience working with Sherry. From start to finish, she made the home-buying process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. Sherry was knowledgeable, patient, and always quick to answer my questions. Their guidance helped me find the perfect home, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I highly recommend Sherry Pitman to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Chris on the purchase of my home. I was relocating from another state. He made the process easy by doing virtual walk-throughs to make sure the homes were as advertised and proactively communicating any new information. He was knowledgeable regarding the Wilmington, NC area. Chris was extremely professional, kind and trustworthy. I recommend Chris for all your real estate needs.”
“Judy was very experienced and professional. She was also very personable and friendly, as well as prompt with returning phone calls, text messages, etc.”
“Wow, where to begin?! My husband and I have been on a roller coaster with both selling and building. We would have pulled our hair out or chosen an appointment to be done with it all, if it was not for Jennifer. At literally every turn, Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure she was our voice with the builder! When my husband deployed, Jennifer made sure to educate me and walk me through all the steps for Power of Attorney and closing. Every recommendation from fencing, inspection, to dinner proved to be perfect matches for us! I will forever be in Jennifer's debt.”
“Liz was my saving grace in a chaotic journey of selling my house. She was patient, communicative, and worked hard with marketing and communication with buyers agents. She was a recommendation of a friend who I have thanked 10000 times. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Agent Pronto connected me with Christian Kohler. She was AMAZING! We were on the same page with every step of the process. She was very knowledgeable about the area and even different neighborhoods. I trusted Christian and she did not let me down! I would recommend Christian for any real estate needs!”

“Oscar was great to deal. I will use him to buy my next home.”
“Terri i Parrish is no longer my Realtor....she is my friend! She "held my hand" through a difficult process for me as I am older and not as strong as I have been. She brought me coffee on the days the gas had been stopped and not restarted. She helped me move my belongings to storage! She returned every one of my frantic calls and soothed my concerns. She made sure every i was dotted and t crossed on every document. I must say that if one needs compassion in a Realtor and skills to sell, call Terri. I have one more to sell and she will be the listing agent!”
