Wilmington-born and raised, I know what it means to support businesses that truly give back to our community. That's exactly what my friend Sean and his team at Quiet Waters do – and they do it with such genuine kindness and heart! From the moment you walk in (or connect online), you're greeted like family. Sean is the epitome of awesome – always going above and beyond with that warm, personal touch that makes you feel seen and valued. The whole team is a powerhouse of positivity and expertise, handling everything from coastal home services to community projects with efficiency and a smile. In a world that can feel impersonal, these folks genuinely care about making a difference in our region. If you're local, do yourself a favor and choose them – you won't regret it. They've earned my loyalty for life! Highly recommend to everyone in Southeast NC.

Justin Bennet was my agent and he skillfully guided me through the process of buying my first house! He was always available to touch base and either had, or found, solid answers for the myriad of questions I had. I cannot recommend him enough, extremely happy with the house and service Quiet Waters Realty provided! 10/10!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are so thankful for Quiet Waters Realty Group and especially for Sadie and Sara, who made our first home purchase an amazing experience. Sadie went above and beyond from the very beginning. She was available to answer questions and concerns even outside of normal hours, and her communication style was authentic, direct when needed, and always thorough. During her video walk-throughs, she pointed out details and answered questions we hadn’t even asked yet — almost as if she knew exactly what we were thinking. Her deep knowledge of the VA loan process reassured us every step of the way and made us feel confident that everything was on track. Sara was also wonderful to work with. She was prompt with email notifications, kept our transactions organized, and provided key information exactly when we needed it. The entire process went smoothly from listing to pending to closing. The only potential issue that arose was handled quickly and professionally, which gave us even more confidence in their team. We are beyond excited to close on our first home and so grateful to Sadie, Sara, and Quiet Waters Realty Group. If you’re looking for a professional, genuine, and dedicated team, we highly recommend them!

Working with Quiet Water Realty Group was an incredible experience, and we are so grateful we had Justin by our side throughout the process. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and uncertainty, but Justin made everything so easy to understand and stress-free. He was patient, attentive, and always went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and confident in every step. His knowledge and professionalism were unmatched, but what stood out the most was how much he truly cared about helping us find the right home. Thanks to Justin, what could have been an overwhelming process turned into a smooth, exciting, and truly positive experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide through this journey, and we would highly recommend Justin and Quiet Water Realty Group to anyone looking to buy a home!

This review is intended to capture the 10/5 star performance of agent Jon Mogollon and his outstanding diligence and professionalism in the sale of our home. As an active duty military family who faced yet another pivotal moving season, we made the choice to sell our home in the Sneads Ferry area. As first time home sellers, we were nervous about the prospect of this new endeavor and the prep work we would need to complete. After much consideration in possible real estate groups, we decided to choose Jon M. with Quiet Waters. Having known for some time we felt confident in his abilities and his noteworthy track record in handling real estate in the local and surrounding areas. This was the absolute best decision we could have made. Jon and his truly commendatory performance ensured that we were fully informed on all aspects of the sale. He dedicated considerable time and resources to analyze the local markets and assist us in determining the price. His expertise and candor helped us to prepare our estate and make all the necessary repairs prior to listing. As we navigated the sale, Jon was there every step of the way. He ensure the property was well marketed through multiple physical and virtual sources, as well as social media outlets in order to get the word out as much as possible. We thankfully went under contract considerably fast and closed with almost ZERO issues. To further capture his resourcefulness, Jon assisted us in all final prep work for the property as we executed our PCS in the same week as our closing. Without Jon, we would have had to shift our entire move and sale. We are blessed and so incredibly thankful for all of his hard work.

Andrew and the team at Quiet Waters Realty Group have been a blessing to our family. They have been unbelievably helpful throughout the selling of our home and purchasing of our new home. The team is the most professional, caring, and passionate realty group we have ever worked with. They answered our questions and calmed our concerns, which has made the last few weeks tolerable. We had planned to close on our old home one day and then close on our new home a day later. When this didn’t happen as planned, Andrew and his team stepped in and ensured we were taken care of and had a place to lay our heads, at the beach of course. There was no cost to us, we had peace of mind that we were being well taken care of. Buying and selling a home is nerve racking, but Andrew made it as pleasurable of an experience before, during, and after the buying/selling process as it could be. Words cannot convey the gratitude and thanks for what Quiet Waters Realty Group has meant to our family. I encourage anyone looking to sell or buy a home to give Andrew a call. Thank you and God Bless your team. Joe

I reached out to Sean after having a falling out with a previous buyers agent due to not understanding my vision to purchase an investment property in the Jacksonville/Sneads Ferry/ Holly Ridge area. As soon as I messaged him via bigger pockets, I got an immediate response and after speaking over the phone his services were exactly what I was looking for. Sean immediately got to work looking for properties with the possibility of house hacking and generating positive cash flow. He is extremely knowledgeable and understands the pulse of the market and an investors mindset better then anyone I have ever spoken with. Soon after the search began, he found me a Duplex that me and my family are currently house hacking in the Holly Ridge area and saving almost 75% of the mortgage. Through the process, he consistently found a solution for issues that came to light, and saved me nearly 20k by closing. I will be using Sean for any and all real estate related deals and highly recommend anyone who is serious about getting into the real estate investing game in the area to give him a call.

We really enjoyed working with him and look forward to working on more deals together! We were looking for an investor-friendly agent and found Sean on BiggerPockets. He responded to us very promptly, and within a short time, he was on the road checking out properties and putting offers together for us. We had a few unique strategies that we were exploring, and Sean helped us go down each rabbit hole. We truly appreciate the time he put in, and respect the professionalism he displayed throughout. He understood the importance of numbers to us as investors and was patient with the process. Sean definitely helped us fill the gaps we had due to our lack of familiarity with the neighborhoods. He was very easy to communicate with and also gave us great recommendations for home inspectors, attorneys, and contractors to build our team with. We can't wait to work on getting the next deal together with him. He's been a remarkable professional. He's also an awesome person and now a friend. Highly recommend!

I had the privilege to have met Sean and built a friendship with him prior to pursuing an investment property. Him and I hit it off instantly as we both spoke the language with regards to investing in real estate along with throwing in some Marine Corps humor along the way. Sean will work tirelessly to ensure that your needs are met and is passionate about what he does. He was very patient with me as we located a property that fit our criteria and once we did, him and his team took over like a well oiled machine, ensuring everything was met and completed in a timely manner prior to closing. Sean and his team are the go-to investment team hear in the Eastern North Carolina area and I will always refer anyone who is looking to diversify their investment strategy into the arena of real estate to him.

Sean and his team provided great support and assistance as we purchased an investment property in Eastern NC. He helped us evaluate properties in Jacksonville, Sneads Ferry, and Holly Ridge and ultimately helped us secure a deal on a great rental in a competitive market. We should have paid more and there should have been a bidding war for this rental unit, but because we presented a fast & strong offer (and the numbers made sense), we got the deal. Thanks, Sean!
