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!

She goes far above and beyond to help her clients, both seller and buyer. For the sale of my parent's property, Sue was exemplary during a complicated process that I could never have untangled without her expert advice. In addition, Sue is also representing the charity I serve in the sale of several lots. Her mastery of this complex process is exceptional, and we could not have entered this process without her skillful guidance.

Joseph was outstanding from start to finish. He took all my options into consideration, from an…read moreinvestment home inland to a owner-residency home near the beach and everything in between, and gave honest feedback on the best possible solution for my situation. With some wizardry and attentiveness to the market, Joseph found an absolutely killer deal and ensured we made all the right moves to get my name in the door. Most importantly, Joseph stuck out the transaction for MONTHS until it finally closed, with a completely professional show of patience, coordination, and customer service. He even finished with personal recommendations on renovations, contractors, and property managers, all of whom I have been thrilled to work with. 5 stars all around, this is your guy around North Carolina

I had been going down to CB for several years and had friends in the area. Mike listened to what I wanted in a property and called me with a great buy! He really had his finger on the pulse and knew it would work for me. I purchased it sight unseen. My experience with Mike was fantastic. He helped me with great detail and very quick responses. He even referred me a broker for my loan who was equally amazing. Everything with the sale went very smooth. I was in regular contact with him and he was always available. He also helped me save money on my flood insurance. Mike is very detailed and easy to work with. Thank you Mike for my fantastic single family home in Carolina Beach! Sincerely, Amanda T

Why did we choose to work with Mike Lardieri of Homes for Sale in Wilmington NC Inc.? 33 days!…read moreThat's what it took. 33 days from the day the listing hit the market to closing. Even in these current market conditions, this is outstanding! This is the third time my husband and I worked with Mike over a 15 year period. Mike has represented us as buyers and twice as sellers; from the very first time we met Mike, back in 2006, he had our best interests in mind. He was not just trying to get a commission; he took the time to understand our needs and concerns and provided excellent value and services each time. This time, we were selling our 127 year old, luxury, historical home in downtown Wilmington. Regardless of the market conditions, we knew it would be a challenge selling an older home on the high end of the market. Because of the current market, many friends insisted we should sell the house ourselves, but my husband works for a local non-profit, and I am Director of Sales for a Fortune 500 Information Technology company. We did not have the time, nor the expertise to sell our home. We interviewed several Real Estate Brokers in the area, and we chose Mike (again), because of his great knowledge of the greater Wilmington area, his outstanding track record, trustworthiness, and the plan he outlined for us during the interview process. Mike's approach is that of an Advisor or Consultant, and he prides himself on the "white glove" service he provides. We did not have to deal with a "team" agents under Mike who would get the ball passed to them mid-sale and not know what was going on. His dedicated, hands-on approach adds extra value, and he guided us through a very complicated process with ease. Mike does not just give up and give in and cut the price of the house just to get the deal done. He negotiates and does it brilliantly. When we finally met in February to discuss the market conditions and strategy, Mike listened to our thoughts on the listing for the house. He provided great advisement for the listing price, and although we were listing at the high end of the market and higher price per square foot than other comps in our area ($700,000 range), Mike felt confident his strategy and tactics would result in a sale at or above the listed price. Trust the process: Every step of the way, Mike had, as I like to say, "A method to his madness," and before he did anything, he would consult with me and my husband. We trusted his process and did not try to lead the sale. From his pricing and staging strategies; repairs guidance, digital marketing, and negotiations, Mike handled the process with professionalism and ease. He kept the process easy and calm (very important for me) which can be tricky selling a luxury, historic home. He had different approaches for the various aspects of the selling process such as staging approaches during the sale, repair negotiations and pre-listing strategies. There were many times when Mike was doing the "heavy lifting" on the back-end, and he would not stress us out with details of the negotiations until he had next steps for us. Working in a fast-paced sales environment, I appreciated this, because he did not upset or distract me with ancillary things and I could focus on my own work. Mike's digital marketing strategy was brilliant and attracted qualified, prospective buyers within 24 hours of the house going on the market. His photographer did an excellent job, and Mike was on hand, during the photo shoot, to ensure the photographer captured the essence of the home. Mike did not use gimmicks like drone shots (you can use Google Earth to see the top of houses), but he used very targeted digital assets to push the message to the right buyers. With our input, Mike took the time to write up a very thoughtful and thorough description of the house, and within 24 hours, we had several offers at or above list price. Whether you are buying or selling a home, I encourage you to contact Mike; he provides amazing results - Mike Lardieri, Homes for Sale in Wilmington NC Inc., (910) 538-7767, He has first-hand knowledge of the entire Wilmington area. He has not only been in the Wilmington real estate business for over 20 years, but he owns and has owned properties from beach to river - historical and newer homes, too.

Dan most ably represented me in selling my home, and there just aren't enough superlatives to describe how satisfied I am with his performance! Prior to engaging Nest and Dan as my real estate agency and agent of choice, I was fortunate to know Dan and his family for the past fifteen years as a neighbor, a friend, and most recently as my sales agent. Dan is a man who prioritizes faith, family, and friendship at the very top of his life and work. He is a highly competent professional who will energetically represent your interests with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity. Put simply, Dan will do whatever is necessary to get the job done, and he has gained my respect, trust, and eternal thanks for his herculean efforts in overcoming the numerous obstacles we encountered in selling my home. He time and again went over and above the call of duty and greatly exceeded my expectations. As you can tell, I think quite a lot of Dan, and I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend him. I'm positive that if you decide to work with him, you'll be just as enthusiastic and as satisfied with the entire process and experience as I am! One last word of advice, if you engage Dan as your advocate, be prepared to move! Franklin Davis

We found Brooke through sheer fate and luck when we rented her Corporate temp housing. She asked if we needed a realtor, told us she would work tirelessly to find our forever home. Despite a long list of impossible must haves, she found us our dream home in less than 2 months. One year later, she was instrumental in us getting our beach vacation rental in Surf City. The market is on fire but was able to buy a great oceanfront property. Both properties have appreciated and the best investments we could've ever imagined. If you're searching for a realtor that works for you, attentive to your needs, and orchestrates the smoothest closing with her network of professionals, than hire Brooke. She will NOT disappoint!
