“Working with Joshua was one of the best decisions we made during our homebuying journey! As first-time homebuyers purchasing a home from across the country, we knew this would be a big step, but Joshua made the entire experience so much easier. From the very beginning, Joshua worked hard to help us secure the home we fell in love with. It wasn't an easy one to get, but he fought for us and made it happen. Even with us being out of state, he made sure everything was taken care of. Our closing process was far from typical, and we faced some unexpected challenges with our lender that caused delays and uncertainty. Throughout it all, Joshua handled everything professionally, stayed on top of every detail, and did everything he could to keep things moving forward. He truly went above and beyond, helping us feel less stressed during a very challenging time. We cannot recommend Joshua highly enough! If you're looking for a realtor who will genuinely fight for your best interests, go the extra mile, and stand by you no matter how challenging the process gets, Joshua is the one you want on your side. We would choose him again in a heartbeat!”

“I’m grateful for Liz’s support throughout the purchase of my new home! I first connected with her on Instagram about a year ago, before I knew exactly when I would be ready to buy. She was patient and supportive of my timeline, stayed in touch, and worked with me from those initial conversations all the way through closing. Her responsiveness, calm demeanor, and encouragement meant a lot during a process that could feel overwhelming. I especially appreciated her willingness to step in, communicate with the builder, and help work through questions and concerns along the way. She has continued to be an excellent resource after closing, and I truly appreciate her ongoing support. Her check-ins helped me feel more at ease during a major life transition. Thank you, Liz, for the time, care, and effort you put into helping me make my new home a reality!”
“Since we were completely new to buying a house, we honestly had no idea what to do or how to do it! Andrea helped us with every step, question and never missed a beat when it came to something we needed. She helped us find our first house, and from the start to finish she was amazing! We could not recommend her enough, we truly are appreciative of everything!”
“After 2 previous agents, contracts with multiple developers, many years tied up with those contracts and nothing to show for it, we contracted with Jeff Lesley. He worked with the developer and negotiated nonrefundable funds when they wanted multiple extensions. Those funds increased as they needed more time. Finally, we closed last week. Thank you Jeff for your persistence and professionalism.”
“AJ McGowan came highly recommended from another home buyer. We were very pleased with his professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail. His support during the buying and building process of a new home was exceptional from the beginning to closing. We highly recommend AJ, 1st Class Coastal Choice and the McGowan Coastal Collective for all your real estate needs.”
“Great service! I have use Raquel for multiple transactions in the Jacksonville, NC area and always the same superb service. Very professional and knowledgeable in the area. Highly recommended!”
“Judy has been a long time friend and I knew for years she was a good agent, receiving many awards. I trusted her and she did not let me down. If I were still in the area, I would use her again if I needed an agent. Being out of the State, I can recommend her to friends that reside in her area. I apprexciate her very much.”
“Nichole is a true professional. Her knowledge of current markets and local neighborhoods is outstanding and allowed us to receive a maximum return. Nichole was continually responsive to us and answered all questions along the way with not only her recommendations but also alternative paths that could be taken during the sale of our home. We could not have asked for a better experience and so glad Nichole is our realtor!”
“Daniel was supper responsive and a very dedicated assistant in helping me find the property I specifically needed. He quickly sent me whatever I needed and was always ready to take a call to discuss. I will use his services again without hesitation and cannot recommend him enough.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Debbie with Pinpoint Properties! She helped me sell my home about a year ago, and when it was time for me to buy again, there was absolutely no question about who I wanted by my side. Debbie truly listens to what you want and then goes above and beyond to make it happen. She is knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and genuinely invested in her clients. She doesn’t just help you buy or sell a house — she advocates for you every step of the way and makes you feel like you have someone in your corner. What really sets Debbie apart is how far she is willing to go for her clients. She is even paying for some repairs out of her own pocket to help make sure everything is taken care of. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is and how much she cares about the people she represents. After having Debbie sell my previous home and now help me purchase my new home, I can honestly say anyone would want Debbie on their side. She has earned my complete trust, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will genuinely look out for their best interests. Thank you, Debbie, for helping me get into my new home!”
“Adam is the best of the best! He's extremely knowledgeable about the area and what's to come. You'd definitely regret not going with Adam. Whether you're looking for investment property or for a primary, Adam is your guy!”
“It was great and he definitely helped me understand more about renting a property and what goes into it as my wife and I’s first time renting. I had a good amount of questions and he was able to answer just about every single one of them and that helped me understand a lot more about renting as a whole.”
“Meaghan was an absolute gem to work with!! She is responsive, explains the process every step of the way, and goes out of her way to make the transaction seamless and easy!! I will definitely be using her again in the future to buy and sell!!”
“As first-time real estate investors living in a different state, buying a property in North Carolina felt daunting. Working with Elizabeth completely changed that. From our very first conversation, she made us feel incredibly comfortable and was so easy to talk to. She seamlessly managed the entire long-distance process, coordinating everything online and via video chats with everyone involved. Elizabeth made what could have been a stressful, remote transaction feel completely effortless. We are so grateful for her expertise and warmth, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! We look forward to working with her again!”
“Exceptional Realtor and Advocate We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us purchase our new home and sell our townhome. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, attentive, and always available to support us throughout the entire process. She did an outstanding job representing us and was truly our advocate every step of the way. She listened to what was important to us, provided thoughtful guidance, and made sure our interests were always well represented. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment gave us tremendous confidence during what can be a very stressful process. We always felt that we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and making the experience as smooth as possible. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”
“Relocating from out of state requires an agent you can trust, and Kraig exceeded all expectations. He acted as my eyes and ears on the ground, with virtual tours and honest feedback on homes. No matter the time of day, Kraig was quick to respond to my questions and guided me through the entire process step by step. Five-star service from start to finish!”
“10/10 Highly recommend!! Steven Wall made our 1st home buying experience as seamless as possible. He is extremely attentive keeping us in the know, knowledgeable of surrounding areas and new developments, most importantly he listened to OUR family's needs! From DREAM to DOORSTEP-Thank you Steven Wall for your exceptional service!!”
“Merritt was so wonderful to work with on our recent home sale and purchase. She is a highly knowledgeable, punctual and responsive professional who has all of the connections in her industry. After helping us to sell our home quickly, she found us a home before it hit the market. Would not hesitate to recommend Merritt to anyone in search of the best real estate professional.”
“If you're looking for an agent who will get your house sold quickly and for the right price, I can't recommend David enough. I was selling a very old home in Lumberton, NC, and several people told me I would never get the price I was hoping for. David believed otherwise. He had a buyer before we even had the open house, and we ended up selling for a price I was extremely happy with. From start to finish, David was easy to work with. He was always available when I had questions, responded quickly, and kept everything professional and straightforward. As a first-time home seller, I had plenty of inexperienced thoughts, ideas, and moments where I just needed to vent. He never made me feel like I was wasting his time. Instead, he listened, gave honest advice, and did an incredible job translating my concerns into productive conversations with the buyer. He was the perfect middleman throughout the entire process. Selling an older home comes with its own challenges, but David handled everything with confidence and kept the deal moving forward. I truly felt like he was looking out for my best interests every step of the way. 10/10 experience. If you want your house sold quickly, for the right price, and want an agent who communicates, works hard, and gets results, I highly recommend David.”
“Jan couldn't have been more professional, accommodating, and educational. Living 4 hours away from the house for sale, he made time to take care of a few things there which saved me a long day. He was always happy to answer all questions I had about getting the house ready, and especially the sales contract. Highly recommend!”
