Said she is the processor and loan originator and they have the lowest rates and no closing costs, I asked how do they make money to stay in business, and she said they bundle the loans, and sell them. I decided to have her go on with the mortgage, even thought she did not ask me if it is okay to pull my credit. As time went on she continued talking around in circles and would not give me details regarding the fees and percentage. After several months of still not getting any where, I asked to speak to the manager. The owner came on the phone and tells me that they are not for everyone​, and the interest is 8 percent and closing cost some where a bit over $11,000. I was done with them, and just went to a local bank, I wasted 3 months with them.

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.

Wish i could give zero stars. Ennett reality is a nightmare and major rip off! I used them to try…read moreto sell my property. I had barely any showings and the property did not sell. I then decided to rent the property through Ennett. Due to unforseen circumstances I had to leave several items in the home and garage. Ennett had a list of things that were absolutely to stay and both Ennett and renters were aware I would move back after a year. When I returned I found things on that list that were missing. Namely my dryer and a wrought iron patio table top that had belonged to my husband who had passed away. Both Ennett Reality and the renters knew this was a very sentimental item. I also found things missing in the home that were not on the list but were things that would normally left with the house when renters leave such as the bathroom mirror ( put in by the builder) and a wooden toilet paper holder that had been bolted to wall ( which left large holes in my paneling with exposed dry wall) . As well as all of my dead husbands clothes that were in the garage. The clothes had not been in the renters way at all as the were obviously taken when the renters left as i found the bag of hangers out by the garbage when i brought my first load of furniture home. The hinge to my front storm door was ripped out of the door jam and my house was left smelling like a wet dog. So much so that my friend who was going to move in had to back out because she could not stand the smell. When Ennett Reality did the walk through when the renters left they should of had that list and pictures that they " supposedly " took before the renters moved out. Apparently they did not, or did not care enough to refer to them or did notice those problems and did not care enough to let me know. The renters moved out Memorial Day weekend, and I was not to move back until mid June. If Ennett had done their job and notified me perhaps i could have at least gotten my table back, however they actually gave the renters their deposit back saying the home was left in good shape! I will never use them again and hope no one else does either!

Wrote this review in 2020. Just posting now. We have…read morebought 7 houses in the last 5 years and Aimee has been the worst Realtor we have had. We never even met her. My husband flew in to look at houses and someone else showed them. He saw one and wanted to make an offer. Aimee said she was at dinner and would get to it when she was done. If you know anything about the Wilmington market you know you can't wait. I was with our AL realtor at the time and she said, jokingly, did I want her to write an offer and put it in? The offer went in and they accepted. Instead of Aimee finding 10 minutes in her weekend to meet with my husband she had him drop the check at her house while she was out. We got an email from her assistant saying from then until close we would be communicating with her not Aimee. Our other realtors have always been there for us every step. When the inspection happened she never went over it with us. Our other realtors always did and helped us decide what to ask for. Aimee didn't even look at the report, she said she looked at the red items but that she wasn't handy so couldn't advise us on much. She said we shouldn't ask for anything because houses are sold as is and asking for repairs isn't normal (It is) It was like she didn't want to do any more work. There was a TON that came up in inspection. We asked for $5500 and they came back with $4000. If it were up to Aimee we wouldnt have asked for anything, instead we got $4000. As we settled into the new house we would ask Aimee different questions to see if she could get answers. (Why are there extension cords buried in the back yard? What is the code for the garage? Did they keep a garage door opener because there is only one here?) We were asking things we should have already been told. at one point it took over a week for her to get back to us. Not with answers just that she was just seeing the email and she would try and get answers. She wasn't on it! Oh! They had really great shelving/ organizers in all the closets. We specifically asked if they were leaving the shelving in the closests because they mentioned that they were taking the shelves that were hanging throughout the house. They said yes, the closet shelves stay...but they took the closet shelves!! We mentioned it to Aimee. She didn't care. Idk if she is new or if houses sell so fast in Wilmington that she is just there for the commission and moves on to the next one and doesn't really care about anything else. We were having to ask our old realtors in other states questions because it was quicker and easier to ask them than to ask Aimee! The sellers lied on the disclosure. They lied about a lot of things, the biggest being that the yard has no drainage issues. It floods every time it rains! When I asked Aimee what we could do she said call the closing atny. The closing attorney said Aimee should be able to help but since she told us to call them they gave us some atny numbers because they couldn't help. When I told Aimee about the issues she said she was confused because we got $4000 in lieu of repairs. I told her those were the things we KNEW about. These were things they hid like broken appliances, leaking windows that they caulked to band aid over. A yard that floods whenever it rains and cost $20,000 to fix! She isn't helpful and doesn't care. At one point we were asking questions about the house she said we should contact the old owner's ourselves. We had to find them on Facebook because she nor their realtor gave us their info. For her to not understand our distress or to offer ANY advice is frustrating. I called our realtor in Alabama and she talked to me for 15 minutes about it. What we would need, who we need to talk to, etc. She said to first call our realtor because she would be our biggest help. Maybe if it was someone else but not Aimee. She doesn't care. She sold the house, got her money. Her job is done. Take the commission and run should be her agency motto

I experienced discrimination from Mary today. I ran across a listing on Zillow which had little…read moreinformation about the approval process and requirements. I followed up with a phone call today to the listing agent who is Mary. When she answered the call, she had a lot of background noise and didn't answer in a professional manner. I assumed I might have called her personal number. So, I asked her was this her personal or business number and she stated "business". I asked her what the approval process and requirements for the property in Holly Ridge. She began to ramble about how she thinks that she has already spoken to me previously. I assured her she has not, and she continued to tell me that Section 8 is not accepted, and the rent can't be adjusted lower than $1,500. (Which none of that was asked) She also became very combative and disrespectful, asking me not to waste her time if I don't qualify. I immediately felt offended, I ended the call. Mary called me back when in her car and sounded inebriated, slurring her words, speaking over me and started ranting to me about how she works f***ing hard for her business, how she didn't mean to say Section 8 to me and the process on her journey with real estate. None of which I asked her. I did tell her that I'm recording the call, and she said she didn't care. She continued to demand that I listen to her and what she's been through. -- I work in the corporate industry, have immaculate rental history and I'm paid very well. That was the least of my worries. It's her demeanor and lack or basic morality that has me speechless. If this was the last company on earth, I wouldn't dare conduct business with them. I attached the listing on Zillow which was very vague. I also, attached the phone number I called and the call log from when she called me back arguing and I disconnected the call again.

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!
