She is very patient, professional and became a very close friend. Life got in the way and we had to put home buying on the back burner.

I highly recommend Jennifer as your Buyers Agent! you won't be disappointed.

We were coming from out of town and made arrangements to meet with her. She set up all of the showings, picked us up and was so very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. As a fellow realtor I understand how important it is to use a local expert and can't stress enough how wonderful it is to use an agent whose only fiduciary responsibility is to you, the buyer. This is not standard in the industry and yet it should be. I highly recommend Kathleen and her company to anyone who is looking to purchase a home in the greater Wilmington area.

If you're thinking about buying or selling real estate, you can't do any better than working with…read moreDan Barrentine of Nest Realty in Wilmington, NC. 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 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. We recommend her to every one we know relocating to historic Southport NC and the surrounding areas. She writes a monthly news letter which long after your purchase keeps you up to date up events festivals holiday celebrations parades local recipes and of course the newest Real Estate Listing, Projects. I am happy to know her, she makes everyone feel like a local.

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.

We were relocating to NC from NJ and Desiree helped steer us to areas that would be very good for us to live. During the time we looked at homes three to four-month period Desiree was always willing to show us different homes or to just talk by phone to help us narrow down our list. Desiree took the time to review the home buying process prior to us making offers which really helped when in the process to be calm and understand it better. I really liked that. Desiree truly knows the area of New Hanover and Pender County and I feel really tries to ensure we understand the home/community we are buying. This was great. I would highly recommend Desiree to anyone who is looking for a home in this area. Anne

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!

We moved recently from the Boston, MA area with very specific requirements. Brooke was always attentive in helping us find the perfect home and was available immediately to answer questions and point us in the right direction and the right community. As we got closer to closing on our new home, Brooke anticipated our every need, from providing tax info, builder, attorney, stores, closing attorney and so much more. I felt we should be paying her a commission rather then the seller. This is our third move and Brooke made this difficult process easy and fun.

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.
