“Jeff was excellent in achieving the sale of a large 58.3 acre family property in NC. I would recommend Jeff, his team and Century 21 to anyone wanting to sell property. He was able to manage and negotiate all aspects of this sale I thank his entire team.”

“After Liz spent two years helping us find our ‘unicorn’ home, there was no one else we’d trust to sell our beach house in Surf City. Working with Liz feels like having a close friend in your corner rather than just an agent. She brought the same incredible patience and expert advice to this sale as she did to our purchase. Liz made the whole process feel effortless and kept us confident every step of the way. I’m so grateful for her support—she truly is the best and we would recommend her to anyone we know looking to by or sell.”

As a first-time homeowner, I was unfamiliar with many aspects of the home-buying process, but Chris went above and beyond to guide me every step of the way. He took the time to explain everything clearly, showed incredible patience, and made the entire experience feel manageable and stress-free. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to purchase a home. He is kind, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional at what he does.”

“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!”
