The professionalism, detail, and uncommon RE knowledge we ALL need!

What can I say about Carol. She's a unicorn in the world of realtors. First off, she's highly respected amongst peers and investors. When Carol's involved in a deal, all involved know there will be NO games on her watch. Only an integrous, expeditious, professional and respectful transaction. Next off, she's southern charm when needed, and pitbull when called for. She will NOT tolerate her client not getting what's deserved. Equally as important, Carol will not help a client buy a potential pitfall. She educates and coaches when needed, points out potential unplanned costs... or even things (mildew, mold, piling rot, etc.) that a seller may be evident. She has vendor connections to fill gaps, address concerns, and enable all involved to truly know about their pursuit. Carol is in this business for the long run. She wants you to be HAPPY with your investment, protected, and will be there for you whether this is the only deal you ever do... or just the first of many. If looking for a realtor in New Hanover or New Brunswick counties on a Sale or Purchase, she's hands down the best we have to offer. She's saved me on numerous deals and helped me through others the flew buy. She's my secret weapon in the Real Estate game! Do yourself a favor and arm yourself with the best!

Carol Ellington #1 Realtor

Carol Ellington helped find my picky mother in law the perfect house with everything my mother in law was looking for. She is a kind, honest, and a diligent Realtor. She goes above and beyond to help make her clients feel comfortable going through the process of purchasing a home as well as quickly answering any questions you may have throughout the process. We loved her so much, we hired her to help purchase our home. I highly recommend her.

The perfect place for our family!

Our realtor, Carol Ellington, showed us many places on Carolina Beach but keep reminding us she wanted to find the perfect place that fit our needs. A few of our offers were rejected and she would just remind us - it is not the perfect place so let's not push it. After months of searching and dealing with a hectic market -she did it - she found the perfect place for us. We put our trust in her and it paid off. Living there all her life she knows everyone and knows the area market. We will never use anyone else when looking for real-estate in the area! We have found more than a realtor - we found a friend.

Carol is the best!

Carol made my home buying process very easy, she knew exactly which houses fit my criteria. She got me in to showings as soon as I found a house I liked and got me all information for the houses quickly. I could not have gone through the process for the first time without her guidance and help. I highly recommend working with Carol!

An amazingly smooth experience...

This was our second time working with Carol and we would definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone needing realtor services. Carol's extensive knowledge of the market, trending conditions, staging, super-responsive communications and professionalism ensured we had an accepted offer on our home in the first weekend of it being listed! Working with Carol is like working with family, she's extremely warm and personable and truly cares about her clients. Her professional contacts enabled our home to shine and the entire process, from thinking about listing to closing was extremely smooth. Carol was quick to respond to all of our questions and ensured we were taken care of. We couldn't have dreamt of a better experience as first time sellers (we've always been buyers before) and appreciate Carol's hard work and diligence in getting the deal done!
