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.

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.

Swanson Realty truly does go above and beyond for their clients. In early spring, my family and I…read moredecided we were ready to make the major move from Ohio to North Carolina. 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!"

He is very thorough in explaining everything clearly about the NC process as I am out of state buyer. I appreciate prompt and clear communication during a home sale process, and this firm delivered. Pete was polite and courteous throughout, even when the lender delayed the closing. I was on a different time zone for most of the buying process and he was very flexible with his working hours. 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! Super smooth.

Ann listened to my needs and shared her thoughts in a very direct and professional way! Ann also provided contacts for all the utility companies in the area, to include the county and local points of interest for a new owner. Ann provided a professional home inspector and mortgage representative. Ann also pushed for additional funding upon completion of the home owners inspection to insure the home owner paid more on inspection findings. A true professional in every sense of the word. I would highly recommend Ann moving forward for your realtor needs. Thank you Kind Regards Richard
