Working with Marissa was truly an amazing experience and a blessing in my home-buying journey…read more From the very beginning, I felt I was in steady and capable hands. Marissa went far beyond simply managing the transaction -- she brought clarity, calm, and an extraordinary level of care to every step. She anticipated my needs before I even knew what to ask and was consistently one step ahead, ensuring everything moved forward smoothly and seamlessly. Her communication was clear, timely, and supportive. She handled every detail with professionalism and grace, and her advocacy on my behalf gave me complete confidence throughout the process. What can often feel stressful instead felt guided, organized, and surprisingly ease-filled because of her steady presence. In all of my real estate experiences over the years, I can honestly say I have never felt so completely supported. Marissa is exceptional at what she does, and I am deeply grateful for her dedication, integrity, and commitment. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Marissa is truly amazing!

Marisa Pierce knows her stuff. I have both bought and sold with Marisa, in both up and down…read moremarkets, and recommend her without hesitation. She led me directly to my dream house (no exaggeration--it was everything I had hoped for and more) with the utmost professionalism and care. She has a solid understanding of current market conditions, worked tirelessly on my behalf, and is a delight to work with. Marisa has exceptional people skills--I felt listened to at every turn, she anticipated my questions, calmed my fears (e.g., a hurricane came through town right before my first closing), and kept me informed. She also uses those people skills to negotiate with the various players you meet during the process (potential seller or buyer, home inspector, banker, handyman) to get you what you need. Marisa is both meticulous and tenacious--a winning combination in a realtor. After matching you with the perfect house (or perfect buyer), she keeps track of all details and finds efficient solutions to all the little 'problems' that inevitably pop up. I knew I was always in good hands, and my closings have gone through seamlessly under her watchful eyes. I've had friends and acquaintances use Marisa and they confirm my experience with her and agree that all home buying and selling should be this easy. She's personable, professional, and unflappable. It was a joy to see her number pop up on my phone, and I look forward to buying my next house with her.

Regina kept us informed of every step along the way - she is a true real estate professional, and I would highly recommend her team if you are considering a move.

I had the pleasure to work with the Regina Drury Agency for the purchase of my new home this fall…read more In fact, I worked with Regina in 2016 when I bought my first North Carolina home and again in 2020 when I sold it. Obviously, she and her team are amazing otherwise I would not have reached out to her when I was ready to buy this year. This time I worked with Will Kilchenman from Regina's team to purchase this home. He was very good. He got to know me and what I wanted in a home. When some glitches came up in the sale of my home up north, he worked with that realtor to come up with solutions. Will saved the day. I would recommend the Regina Drury Agency to everyone who wants to buy or sell a home. They really look out for their clients.

Caroline was an excellent agent to work with. She puts in the hard work to get you your dream…read morehouse. She was always extremely responsive and would work sometimes until 1am to help her clients. Caroline would never pressure you into putting an offer on a home unless it was perfect, because she wants to make dreams come true, not seek a paycheck. She saved us from buying a home that was in a serious flood danger area. She is the people's realtor and I would recommended her to anyone I meet (already have). If you're looking to buy a home in North Carolina or even South Carolina, give Miss Caroline a call. You'll be happy you did.

I have worked with Caroline and her team to sell three homes and buy three homes.

I have been in sales myself for over 20 years and I expect consistent communication, reliability, honesty and follow through everyone that I choose to do business with in all aspects of my life. Having said that, I will always recommend Caroline and her team to all my friends and family buying or selling a home! The entire team at Living Seaside and the professionals that Caroline works with from getting your home ready to sell, the mortgage process (JD Hodges at TowneBank), insurance agent (Paul Badrock at American Harbor), and even the closing attorney (Robert Caulder at Caulder Law) are ALL very professional and have made each and every sale and purchase as smooth as possible. Selling and buying a home can be a stressful process for sure. The most important thing is to have a professional agent that you can trust to get the job done. I truly appreciate all she has done for me and my family to get the the dream home we live in today!

In my opinion, Tammy Poole's greatest asset is her ability to listen to her clients' needs and then…read moreuse her resources to make sure that they get to the closing table in as efficient of a process possible. When you talk with Tammy you will quickly learn 1) how much she cares, 2) she is on task about everything, and 3) she is very knowledgeable about the real estate process and the Wilmington market. After seeing her through many transactions, I can definitely speak highly of her abilities in helping buyers and sellers in the Wilmington / New Hanover County market. Bob Moyer OVM Financial, INC

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Tammy from Coastwalk as our realtor for buying our…read morefirst home. We just closed yesterday, April 11th, after starting our search in late February. She pulled off a killer deal for us (even managed to get us 5k of closing costs from the seller, so we only had to pay $1100 out of pocket on closing day for our 2,000 sqft 0.37 acre property) and, more importantly, we felt she was on OUR side the entire time- start to finish. Tammy respected our budget and didn't waste our time (or hers) with viewing houses outside of our pricepoint. She really took to heart and considered what WE wanted in a house and tried to meet every major critietia. We must have seen about 25 places and Tammy was happy to research and provide any additional details of each property so that we could make an informed decision. I could not be happier with Tammy's professionalism, knowledge, and general presence throughout the process of buying our home. It was very daunting at times and I don't know what I would have done without her by our side. Thank you, Tammy!

I am currently working with them as an agent for my buyer - the process which should have gone very…read moresmooth - has become a paperwork nightmare The day before closing we do not have a clear to close due to minor contract issues - the latest is asking the sellers to initial their names! I asked them if that request was a joke- they responded that their underwriter is very picky- When I called their office the lady said they will probably need to push closing until Monday- keep in mind most lenders can turn a package in 30 min- 1 hr if minor last minute conditions exist. In this case they said they are not sure if they will make closing that is 24 hrs away I close over 20-30homes a month and this experience has truly been a nightmare. I am sure my client got a decent rate but I don't think the stress and last minute issues were worth it.

I found Port City Mortgage through a rate aggregator site for my home refinance. The rate I saw…read morewas jaw-dropping -- 0.375% less than the lowest I was being offered by a big bank. I submitted a request through their website, and within an hour, the owner himself e-mail me back to let me know their latest rates and information on how to start the application process. With such a low rate I was half expecting something to fall through, but I was very pleasantly surprised -- not only was the spectacular rate for real, the process was much smoother and easier than the times I've used a big bank for a mortgage. Their team is impeccably organized, and I always knew what I needed to send and when. Plus, these guys worked at warp speed -- exactly 1 month passed from quote to closing. I won't even bother getting a quote from the goliaths next time I need a mortgage. Port City and its people are superb. Maybe it's easier to be good-natured and pleasant when you live at the beach -- Port City is located in Wilmington, NC, but they had no problem working with me in the Triangle.

We recently had the misfortune of dealing with Mary Carneiro, who represented the buyers on our…read moreproperty. From the outset, it was clear that integrity was not part of her approach. Rather than negotiating in good faith, she resorted to distorting facts, misrepresenting market data, and using pressure tactics in an attempt to force us into reducing our price. She repeatedly made misleading claims about the condition of our home and the surrounding market -- claims that were easily disproven by our own agent and third-party professionals. It was a transparent effort to manipulate the process in their buyers' favor, regardless of ethics or accuracy. We understand that buyer's agents advocate for their clients -- but there's a line between negotiation and outright dishonesty. Mary Carneiro crossed that line repeatedly. If you're considering working with this agent, whether as a buyer or a seller, proceed with extreme caution. We won't make the mistake of dealing with them again -- and neither should you.
