After reading the many positive reviews, researching and spending time on their aesthetically pleasing website, we decided to give Swanson Realty a call. Immediately, we were offered a congratulations, a "We can't wait to have you here!", and my favorite "Miss Tammy is here today and she's going to do you one good!" The office staff punched us through to Miss Tammy and we hit the ground running. Tammy offered us contact information for a great mortgage lender, and many insights to the areas we were interested in. Back in Ohio, our house listed for sale the same weekend we decided to go house hunting with our realtor in North Carolina. Miss Tammy walked us through each and every house we were interested in- even the more unsightly houses and against her better judgment- though she'd never say it- at least until we agreed it was terrible. Ha! She was encouraging and supportive throughout the entire hunting process. Our last day in North Carolina, we toured what would become our home. While it was not complete, and was the shell of what it is now, Tammy was confident in the builder, the area, and how much we loved it. After many set backs with our Ohio home, Miss Tammy remained encouraging and completely engaged in our selling and buying process. She truly cared and wanted what was best for us. Tammy was able to navigate our home inspections and new home walk through with our builder while we were tending to things in Ohio. We closed on our North Carolina home just two days after closing in Ohio. We could not have moved as confidently as we did without Miss Tammy's ever present encouragement and support. Thank you for setting us up right and "doing us a good one!"

All the others tried to "Sell" us with what they were showing. We got tired of hearing the phrase "This house should work for you" Dana was different. We told her what we needed for our family. She only showed us homes that matched. In 2 weeks with her we found the perfect "forever" home. We never felt any pressure from her. We lived out of town, but she helped with the whole process even past closing. She helped with the inspection, mortgage, attorney and more. She has our highest recommendation, and when anyone asks, we give her number.

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 responded back with an enthusiastic offer to help me and provided an abundance of listings for me to review. When I indicated that I would be traveling to NC to view some of these homes, Lori set aside two days in which to show me the homes that had peaked my interest. And when I found the home of my dreams, Lori made all of the necessary arrangements to make it mine! She has gone above and beyond what I would expect, even doing the final walk-throughs with the builder, while sending me pictures! She even picked up a mailbox for me so that it could be installed by the time I am ready to move in! I would recommend Lori to anyone that is looking for their dream home!

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.
