Jeff understands that buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions his clients will ever make, and he will do whatever is needed to ensure a smooth buying/selling process. Whether you are a first-time home buyer, looking to sell your current home, relocating, or interested in luxury homes or investment properties, Jeff will assist you from start to finish.

Jeff\342\200\231s mission is to deliver an elite level of quality service to all clients.


Jeff has lived in the Wilmington area for over 16 years, and has acquired a vast amount of knowledge of the local real estate market trends. Not only does he study the trends in the area, he attends national conferences watching the trends in other states and remains in touch with top agents worldwide to ensure he stays ahead of the market curve.


Jeff graduated from UNCW with a Masters in Business Administration which helped him gain the skills and training needed to be a top sales agent with the Century 21 brand. During his first full year with real estate, he conducted 37 transactions and earned a prestigious award with Century 21 which put him in the top 2 percent of all C21 agents. The average realtor only sells about 6-8 homes per year.
