We were fortunate a few years back to find Broker Sarah Smith from SP Realty she is a true find…read more Her dedication to the real estate industry shows proof in her endless knowledge of available land, up coming developments, resales, community bi laws restrictions, Flood zone maps. We purchased a resale home with Sarah's help, and had her advice on commercial business properties as well as new construction options.

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.

For almost two weeks I have been trying to get info and put an offer on one of their listings. New…read moreconstruction, Twin Lakes in BSL and Cruse is the builder. My offer was going to be 50k over ask. The agent has ignored me, doesn't have time for me, just all around can't be bothered. It really seems like he's already got someone in his pocket. I was finally able to get a meeting, he showed up an hour later, waited in the parking lot for 45 mins. He rushed in the door said a couple things so fast I don't even know what was said and then couldn't be bothered showing me anything or answering or taking an offer. I just left. I guess the market is good enough to treat people like garbage.

NOLAN IS AN AMAZING AGENT, THERE ARE NONE BETTER...SERIOUSLY!!!…read more How we came to Nolan is through a bad experience initially with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage with one of their other agents and the Broker, Carol A. immediately contacted me to fix things. That spoke volumes to her professionality and careful consideration to a transaction gone bad. While the initial transaction couldn't be salvaged, she asked me to give Coldwell one more shot and said I would get one of her best agents ever. She wasn't kidding. She put us in touch with Nolan Formalarie and we began work the very next day. Due to several factors, we needed to work quickly on finding a home to purchase. Nolan accommodated every request, quickly, efficiently and effectively. He knew everything there was to know about each house we saw and even crawled into the crawl spaces of some homes I couldn't do to check if everything was good. He wore many hats! Nolan went so far above and beyond for us that I truly have never had such an attentive, informed, and all around wonderful and kind person work with my husband and I. If you are looking to purchase, sell or rent your home(s) in the Southport, Oak Island, Shalotte... heck all these areas and more... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you use Nolan. He's so good at what he does, he's always there for his clients no matter what and is unbelievable with his knowledge base of this industry, communities, amenities as well as having contacts in financing, etc... He's just amazing at what he does! Plain and simple.....USE NOLAN.... or your just settling for second best. Now that Nolan has opened his own real estate agency, DISCOVER NC HOMES, located in Southport, NC, I couldn't be happier for him. A guy like Nolan at the helm of his own ship can make things happen. Best of luck to you Nolan, I'll send whoever I can over to you for the best service ever! We love you Nolan and so greatly appreciate all your work for us. We wish the best for you and yours.... thank you, thank you for everything and we look forward to staying in touch.

Even after the sale, he has been very responsive to any questions that have come up about the house and he's been super helpful with local vendor/contractor recommendations. Highly recommend!

The location was GORGEOUS- Immaculately decorating with beautiful high ceilings.Not only was the staff of Southport Realty incredibly helpful, and welcoming- they were extremely thorough! Even going so far as to call and get a second confirmation that the location was ready for our arrival. They greeted us at their office with a packet of information that included the keys to the rental property but also free coffee coupons and tons of information on what to do and where to go in Southport. Their rental properties were so beautiful and convenient that our friends who stayed in another one of their properties even decided to stay a second night! I can't imagine a better experience than renting with them- we will definitely be returning!
