Port City Properties

Welcome to Port City Properties

In 1995, a group of five realtors from several different firms got together because of a couple of fundamental shared beliefs. One was that the real estate brokerage industry was being swallowed up by large franchised corporations that came to the business of real estate sales focused on "sales tactics" and corporate routines or sales pitches. The other was that this "slick talk" was compromising the integrity, the image and the professionalism of the industry.

At Port City Properties, we believe that our focus should not be on honing our "sales pitches", rather the focus should be on truly learning the market, understanding the complexities of real estate transactions, and impressing the public with our knowledge, our integrity, and our enthusiasm. Our team of agents really understand the market and most of them own many pieces of real estate. They know that investing in real estate has proven to be the best and most reliable method of building personal wealth over time.

So can a firm resist the corporate takeovers, can it focus on quality of service, can it remain true to its original philosophy and provide stellar service for its clients and afford quality of life for its agents? You bet! Port City Properties is downtown Wilmington's oldest real estate firm for a reason... give one of our agents a call today and you'll feel the difference.

"After a seven year tenure as a North Carolina attorney in New York, it was time to come home...and I found a home in downtown Wilmington. I knew that the real estate market in Wilmington was poised for growth and I was right. And make no mistake, more growth is on the way. I am proud to have founded what has become Wilmington's oldest real estate brokerage firm, and we are here to stay."

"Real Estate investing is a time tested vehicle for personal financial growth. There is no better place in my opinion than downtown Wilmington and the surrounding areas to put this vehicle to work for you. As a seasoned investor myself, I can guide you through the process and give you the benefit of my years of experience. I look forward to that opportunity."

"Wilmington is a fabulous place to live and work. I love being able to see the Cape Fear River from my office and I love being able to drive a few miles to the beach whenever I want to. Wilmington has incredible things to offer in addition to sun, sand and water. There are a steadily growing number of culinary, musical, theatrical and educational opportunities, which make this historic city a more desirable place to live as every year goes by."

"My family and I moved to Wilmington in 2004 from Ohio and I quickly came to recognize that there were great real estate opportunities here. I believed it so much that I bought the HomeVestors franchise for the area and my specialty is purchasing the "ugly" houses and restoring them for new owners. If you or someone you know has an "ugly" house for sale, please give me a call." See also www.wilmingtonnc.homevestors.com.

"Born in Jacksonville, NC - I have lived and traveled all over the world. I graduated from UNCW in 1994 and spent 12 years in the travel industry selling and operating student travel packages. I began investing in real estate in 2004 and got my license in 2006. I enjoy taking an “ugly” house and making it new again. My wife Lisa, son Jonathan, and I like to go to the beach and travel to new places. "

Lake Waccamaw Office

Julia Wayne Waccamaw

Lake Waccamaw is a natural wonder like no other. As the largest natural Carolina Bay lake it measures approximately 5 miles by 7 miles and is arguably the largest natural lake this side of the Mississippi River. The lake is home to many types of animal and plant life and is breathtakingly beautiful. The age of the lake has been estimated at approximately 250,000 years and explorers routinely find prehistoric shark's teeth as well as other fossils. A recent discovery of a prehistoric bone believed by scientists to be a whale rib only add to the beauty and mystery of this special place.

"After traveling around the United States with my Navy husband for 24 years, he retired and we immediately came home to North Carolina. I had always thought that I would enjoy real estate sales. Jason encouraged me to take the Real Estate Brokers course with him. We are both realtors and enjoy working with clients whether they want to sell their existing home or just find their dream home."
