“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.”
“Chris Roper was absolutely outstanding and exceeded all of my expectations. 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.”
“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 highly recommend Pam Wooddell for all your real estate needs. Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication has always exceeded my expectations. She guides one through the process with ease and achieved fantastic results. A top-notch realtor who goes above and beyond for her clients.”
“Bea Desmond was exceptional! Extremely knowledgeable about the market, always responsive to the many questions we had & always the utmost professional! We could not have asked for a better agent.”
“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!”
“Dave Robertson was very patient and got the job done! He was very positive and professional throughout this experience!”

Forest Hills offers residents a welcoming, tree-lined community with walkable streets, strong neighborhood ties, and convenient access to parks, shops, and nearby amenities.
Forest Hills blends classic architecture with leafy serenity in one of Wilmington’s most established midtown addresses. Broad streets arc beneath century-old oaks, fronting brick colonials, Tudors, and cottages on generous lots; nearby Carolina Heights echoes that early-20th-century character. The location makes daily life easy: downtown’s theaters and the Riverwalk are minutes west, while sand and surf at Wrightsville Beach sit a quick drive east. Weekend outings range from tee times at the private Cape Fear Country Club to picnics and pickleball at Empie Park.
Families value the education options. The neighborhood is served by New Hanover County Schools, with Forest Hills Global Elementary School nearby and magnet and language programs across the district. Higher learning and performances at the University of North Carolina Wilmington are within easy reach, and the seasonal displays at Airlie Gardens invite relaxed afternoons. Daily essentials and local favorites line Oleander Drive and Independence Mall, while neighbors often gather on front porches or stroll with strollers and dogs at dusk, a neighborhood hallmark. Commuting is straightforward, with quick connections to major corridors and services throughout New Hanover County.
