We were very happy with Christine Luciano, our Realtor.
She went above and beyond what most realtors are expected to do.
We were living in Pennsylvania and bought new construction in Southport, NC, and Christine kept us updated with the progress of our house.
Christine’s work ethic should be the benchmark for all Realtors. We have no buyer’s remorse or any unanswered questions as Christine was able to cover everything, even things we didn’t think of. 😀

Our experience with Randall Jolliff was exceptional. Randy took the time to understand our needs and immediately set to finding us homes both in our price range and in our areas of interest. Randy genuinely listened to our feedback and continued to refine our property search to show us the options available. Randy was patient and honest— he never pressed us to make hasty decisions even in the “hot” Southport summer housing market. His counsel was very appreciated as our family was relocating from out of state and we were quite unfamiliar with the pros and cons of any particular area. I highly

Tami was just wonderful. Loved working with her she was kind, patient and very helpful the whole time. We are slow to purchase but once we found the land we wanted with in our budget it all fell in to place.
Wonderful experience!
Thank you so much.

We had 3 separate properties to sale. Tami contacted us and really impressed us with her professional attitude and knowledge of Real Estate. The first lot sold in few days. The second which included the house had an offer in 9 days. The third property was less desirable and she was able to find a buyer. All properties were profitable to our satisfaction. Communication with the staff was beyond exceptional. I would recommend them to any locals trying to buy or sale property. Thanks to Margaret Rudd & Associates, especially to Tami Knecht. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

I sold a house in GA and moved to NC so logistics and timing was one of my top concerns. My buyer's agent, Donna L Smith, had been an agent for a short time, but was many heads over my GA agent who has been in RE for decades. Donna is professional, poised, prepared. She provided me with materials to review the homes we were scheduled to see and kept us on schedule. She patiently walked through several offerings of a NC Purchase agreement (vastly different from GA!). Since I was out of state she kindly agreed to meet inspectors and appraisers at the house. While her office is in Southport we looked

Amy Lynne Boltz of the Southport office has helped my family with the purchase and construction of a home at Kingfish Bay. She has been nothing short of outstanding. Very thorough, very responsive and helpful.. I highly recommend her for any real estate need.

Where do I begin to tell you what a wonderful experience we’ve had purchasing our Oak Island home? From our first interaction with Tami, we knew we had a winner. She worked tirelessly to find exactly what we were looking for and after showing us a few homes knew what we weren't

This was not an easy decision to sell my home. But in choosing Elvira Gilbert as my agent, she made the experience a lot easier. She was always available for help and questions in the process and very professional in the way everything was handled! I couldn’t have ask for a better outcome! Thank you Elvira and Margaret Rudd!

ELVIRA GILBERT did an amazing job of helping my mother and I find just the right home! Her customer service went above and beyond any I have received from a Realtor. She listened to us and showed us homes that met our specifications and our budget. Since we were out-of-town buyers, once we found the right home, Elvira followed the due diligence process for us and kept us informed on a regular basis. Closing was smooth and on-time. Even after our move Elvira continues to check in and make sure we are happy in our new home.
