“Anthony was instrumental in assisting my family with the sale of my mother's home upon her death. He was informative and knowledgeable about our area and the challenges we were facing with the condiiton of the home. He was in line with our thoughts and pricing which proved to be beneficial to all. Anthony maintained constant communicatoins with us throughout the process and made this difficult endeavor as smooth as possible. It was a pleasure working with him, so much so that I made an immediate referral to a collegue and he sold their property within days as well. They also are very pleased. I would highly recommend working with Anthony for your needs and would definitely work with him again should the need arise.”

“Sue Simpson has been a trusted, proven professional that my wife and I have had the opportunity to work with on three occassions over the past 22 years. I would call no other agent to assist us with the preparation and listing of an unusual size home for the area: one with a unique floor plan and a desirable lot. We very much needed an experienced realtor with precise knowledge of area market trends and home values for this transaction; Sue Simpson was fantastic. Thank you - Scott & Emily Easton PS - It's really hot in Florida.”

“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!”

Learn more about what Surf City has to offer.
Surf City offers residents a vibrant coastal community with beautiful beaches, outdoor recreational activities, and a welcoming small-town atmosphere.
Surf City pairs easygoing beach life with everyday practicality, offering a community where sunrise surf checks and after-school bike rides share the same calendar. The town’s signature high-rise bridge frames sweeping water views, while locals cast lines from the storied Surf City Ocean Pier or launch kayaks at creeks that lace the sound. Family outings gravitate to concerts and markets by the water, and conservation comes alive with a visit to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, a beloved stop for residents and guests alike. Year-round services, public beach accesses, and thoughtfully maintained parks are supported by the Town of Surf City.
Schools are a standout. Served by Pender County Schools, Surf City Elementary and Surf City Middle anchor a strong pipeline to Topsail High School, backed by robust arts, athletics, and STEM options. Commuters appreciate how quickly US-17 connects to Wilmington and Jacksonville, expanding career and cultural choices without giving up the salt-air lifestyle. The town spans both Pender County and Onslow County, with neighborhoods ranging from classic island cottages to newer mainland communities with sidewalks, trails, and community pools.
Whether you’re eyeing a first beach home or planning a strategic sale, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local real estate agent who understands Surf City’s shoreline markets and year-round rhythm—helping buyers and sellers move with confidence.
