He listened to what I needed, had empathy for my difficult experience with a prior loan originator and made the process smooth and seamless. Patty Pepper was very helpful in the pre-approval process for a car purchase. I didn't get the lady's name who notarized my mortgage documents, but she was helpful and fixed a snag I ran into while signing some documents. I prefer credit unions over big banks because the service is personal and you actually know your bankers. The staff is pretty consistent. I don't see much turnover, which indicates that Corning Credit Union is a nice place to work. Kudos to all of you - especially those meeting face-to-face with customers during a pandemic.

It was such a pleasure working with Marge Ulcickas of Sold by the Sea Realty! She was referred to…read moreus by a mutual friend and realtor. My husband and I started looking for a primary residence in downtown Wilmington last fall. We were looking for a buyer's agent. We 'warned' Marge that we were not quite ready to move from Durham, but wanted to casually look and become educated about the options in our target area. I lost count of the number of homes/townhomes/condos we looked at! Marge was very patient, helped us hone in on our priorities, and guided us through the wide range of neighborhoods as we looked for a good fit over a 9-month period. Even though my husband and I had different thoughts about what we wanted, Marge helped us find something to meet both of our needs. Probably the most important part of Marge's service to us came when we finally decided to make an offer on a property. We have heard many people say, "Why would you even need a realtor in today's world?" Since the laws are changing about compensation for realtors, there are many differing opinions. The seller for our property was using an agency which primarily helped list the property, but did nothing else to help either the seller or the buyer through the process. If Marge had not been there to help us (and go above and beyond the call of duty to guide the seller!), we would not have completed the offer, inspection, repair process, or closing! She was absolutely key to helping us close on our new home. I would not recommend anyone struggling through this process without an experienced agent - you never know who the person on the other end of the deal may be!!! Many thanks to Marge!

Her mastery of this complex process is exceptional, and we could not have entered this process without her skillful guidance.

DO NOT USE SOUTHPORT REALTY OR KATHERINE WOOTEN FOR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS!!!!! I bought one of…read moretheir listings and was told that as part of the deal the listing agent, Katherine Wooten would pay $500.00 to remove debris from the home.  This was actually in the agent notes section of the listing. She set this appointment up with College Hunks Hauling Junk and then unbelievably cancelled it on the day I closed.  College Hunks told me that Kathleen Wooten specifically said that she was no longer responsible for the debris removal because the property was sold even though she agreed to pay for it. Clearly she had no intention of paying for it from the beginning and outright lied to my face. Because there was a short delay to close ( the sellers had to provide some additional paperwork ) I was given permission by the sellers to enter the house a few days early to start cleaning it out. Therefore, there was  a tremendous amount of debris in the front, side and back of the home. When Kathleen Wooten came to get the lockbox she actually stood in front of me and would not address the question of the junk removal when I asked her three times about it. All she did was avoid the question and in a completely disingenuous way asked "what could she do for me today". All the while knowing she CANCELLED the junk removal while we were waiting for them to come. The brokers in charge, Kim Anne Russ and Pamela Frandano did nothing as well to rectify this situation. In all my years of buying in excess of 25 homes ( including one in the St James Plantation )I have never experienced such unprofessional, sneaky and downright dirty behavior. My agent, John Langley, of Southport Oak Island Realty could not apologize enough for Kathleen Wooten's unethical and dishonest behavior. He actually stepped up and made it right by paying the $500 out of his own pocket. John Langley is true professional who is honest and caring and went above and beyond what was expected of him. I will be purchasing more property in the area and plan to do many more transactions with him in the future. If you need to buy or sell a home, and want to deal with an ethical professional I highly recommend John Langley and Southport Oak Island Realty.
