I cannot recommend my realtor Alena highly enough! Finding a great home for my son, my dogs, and myself felt like a huge undertaking, but she made the entire process incredibly smooth. From day one, she treated me like family. Alena’s communication is unmatched—she literally answered my calls and texts no matter the time, always offering reassurances and quick answers. Because I wanted to be careful, I appreciated how she walked me slowly through every phase of the transaction, never rushing me into a decision. I just successfully closed on a fantastic house that fits my family perfectly. She is patient, deeply responsive, and genuinely care about her clients.
Alena went above and beyond. She puts a lot of passion into what she does. She is a great communicator and client advocate. She showed patience and professionalism throughout the whole process. I had a great experience

Wanda is hands down one of the absolute best real estate agents I have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the Topsail Island area, the local market, and the ins and outs of properties in general is incredible. During the purchasing process, she didn't just show me houses; she clearly broke down the pros and cons of everything we looked at so I knew exactly what to expect. I really appreciated how she brought her own honest perspective to the table and communicated everything so clearly. Because I was looking for something very specific, it took me a long time to find the right property. I honestly thought I would have gotten annoyed with myself, but not Wanda! She never once gave up on the search, sticking by my side every single step of the way and guiding me through the entire process. No matter how many questions I threw at her, she was always patient, ready to help, and gave me a true, unfiltered perspective. Being out of town made the long-distance search tough, but Wanda made it seamless. Even after finding the place, she provided amazing local recommendations for everything I needed—from trustworthy attorneys to reliable cleaning and construction services. If you are looking for a dedicated, patient, and deeply knowledgeable agent in the Topsail Island area, I cannot recommend Wanda enough.
Michael is all over the communication. I was was under extreme pressure to locate a home in 3 days. I had little knowlede of the area. He immediatly booked homes for me to look at as soon as I got off the plane, we hit the ground running. With me being in a massive rush, he kept very calm. which helped me tremendously. He took care of and, set everything up for me including , final walk through, home inspection and so on. If he had a concern about a property, he investigated further to get the information in question. Im not sure I could have gotten through this huge change of living over 40 years at the Jersey shore to coastal North Carolina where I knew not a single person, without him. He was knowledgable, kind and incredibly patient. I wasnt sure anyone would be able to tolerate my frantic and, in a constant rush type demeanor. If I did make him rushed, not one time let it show. I felt he actually cared about where I was going to live comfortably. I'm thankful for everything he did for me.
As a first-time home buyer I honestly didn't know what I was doing, and Alena walked me through every step. She made sure I understood what I was looking at and what came next, so I never felt in over my head. She explained things clearly, answered every question (and I had a lot), and made the whole process feel easy. I ended up in a great house in an area that fits my outdoors lifestyle, and she was right there helping me get it done. She also connected me with the right people along the way, from lending to inspections, and they were all great to work with. If you're buying your first home and want someone who will actually teach you the process instead of just pushing paperwork, Alena is who you want. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.
Always there with answers, insights and helpful advice. Could not ask for better service.
Joe consistently made himself available to show houses in and amongst my busy schedule to find the right fit. His knowledge of the areas we looked in was obvious based on the information he knew and was able to quickly pull up and talk about. Working with him to close was a smooth stress free adventure and I am very thankful for the time he put into everything!
The Cheek Team was a pleasure to work with. We started out working with Katherine for some showings; however, when I our timeline moved quicker than expected our schedules didn’t line up. She quickly sent us over to Tina who took excellent care of us. Both Katherine and Tina were quick and responsive. They did a lot of research on houses for us and provided everything we asked for. Throughout the home buying process, Tina was there every step of the way which was especially comforting as we were not local at the time. We were also thankful for Tina’s guidance and opinion throughout the process. I would highly recommend The Cheek Team to anyone looking for a home in the area. We can’t say enough good things about our experience! Thank you for helping us purchase our new home!
We’ve used Vance to sell both a piece of land and a home, and we plan to use him again in the future. He made every step easy to understand, was always responsive, and consistently went above and beyond. We highly recommend him!
