Tricia and her team were amazing. They took a very complicated and stressful process and made it very straight-forward. Their experience and expertise were tremendous assets during this hectic process.

We recently moved to Wilmington from several hours away and couldn't have done it without Teresa Krebs. She was very proactive, listened to our particular needs/wants/budget, and provided useful insights on the area and the houses we considered. Having a realtor in town that we knew we could trust alleviated a lot of stress, both while house hunting and through closing. Thanks to Teresa's patience, persistence, and guidance, we were able to find a great house in a very challenging market. Couldn't be happier with with the home we purchased or the buying process. We would absolutely recommend

Tricia Ireland and Coastal Select Properties sold my condo in 4 hours. It was so easy. Tricia and her team did all the work. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and anticipate your needs. All I had to do was electronically sign the paperwork and that was it!!!! I only use Coastal Select Properties for my real estate transactions.

Andrea was absolutley amazing! She got the house under contract not once, but twice, in under 24 hours both times. She sold the house for over the asking price, as well! She came to the first consultation having done her research and she continued to impress me as the process went on. She was always willing to help me and answer any questions or concerns that I had. I would recommend her to anyone!

Kym Davidson of Coastal Select properties in Wilmington NC was our buyers agent. Kym did an outstanding job assisting us with buying our home. The Wilmington Real-estate Market is a very hot market. Multiple offers, short windows to place offers, we had one home that within a few hours had 6 offers and they stopped taking offers. We found the house we wanted to look at the same morning it went on Market, that was a Sunday morning, sent Kym a text, Kym called us back about 20 minutes later and had a already arranged for a showing at noon on Sunday, we did facetime since we were out of town buyers
