Working with Joe was an absolute pleasure throughout our home-buying journey in Surf City. From the very beginning, he felt less like a real estate agent and more like a member of the family. Joe is incredibly down-to-earth and always maintains a cheerful, positive attitude that makes a potentially stressful process feel manageable. We found ourselves consulting him for anything and everything—no question was too small, and his local knowledge of the area is unmatched. Whether we needed advice on the market or a recommendation for a local service, he was always ready to help with genuine enthusiasm. If you are looking for an agent who is professional, deeply helpful, and truly cares about his clients, we cannot recommend Joe highly enough. He did a splendid job!
When I would call. Joe would answer. If not he would call back within the hour. Very knowledgeable, answered most of my questions off the tip of his tongue. Would get an answer for us in a hasty manner as well
Joe is a consummate professional with 30 years experience and deep knowledge of the market. I recently moved to North Carolina from the West Coast and he always answered his phone! showed me 26 houses in a whirlwind 2 day trip! and then guided me through the buying process long distance! It's hard buying a home locally but it's a whole other level from afar. Joe set my mind at ease with his calm demeanor, solid guidance and positive personality. Great at negotiating and while he has many clients, you never feel rushed or like you are a number. I will be referring others to him in the future based on my stellar experience. Thanks for always going above and beyond, Joe!
Joe Powers is a knowledgeable, professional real estate agent. He helped me buy (and later sell) two properties in Surf City. He was always responsive, patient, and totally professional. You can count on him to 100% represent your interests and give you excellent advice. Thank you, Joe (and Dena)!

Joann is a true professional. She was so helpful to us during the entire process of purchasing our vacation home. She is very knowledgeable of the area. I would definitely recommend working with her for your real estate needs.
Working with Tiffany Mayfield and the Jennifer Bullock Team was a fantastic experience. From the initial consultation to closing, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. They patiently guided us through the entire process, answering all our questions and addressing our concerns with expertise. We especially appreciated their negotiation skills, which helped us secure our dream home at a great price. We highly recommend Tiffany Mayfield and the Jennifer Bullock Team!"

Bizz and Amye were very helpful, professional and had a good grasp of the local market.
It was my first time buying a home and I had no idea what I was doing. The process was made simple, streamlined, and friendly with Ana. She couldn't be more professional, caring, and steadfast for me to get the home I 100% knew I wanted and that met my preferences, highly recommend Ana for anyone buying a house or even curious about the process, she is a book of knowledge.

We had struggled to sell or rent our home for months before Kylie took over our listing. She did a great job promoting the house, and we accepted an offer in ~2weeks. All communication was quick and clear, making the selling process low stress. Whenever something unexpected came up she walked us through our options and recommendations on how to move forward. She crushed it and we would recommend her every time, hands down.
