If you want a realtor with knowledge and experience, Carissa is the best! She has worked with us over the years with several transactions; relocation to Carolina Beach and then deciding to sell and build a new home, Carissa provided excellent guidance throughout all the processes. With her knowledge, we were able to prepare and time our home to sell in 8 days! We would highly recommend Carissa for her assistance in selling or buying a home.

Carissa took fabulous care of me in navigating the purchase of a distressed property that required a dual (purchase + construction) loan. The loan with CrossCountry Mortgage was a nightmare. Nevertheless, Carissa helped me secure a good purchase and provided terrific support.

Not even sure where to begin..... I've bought and sold homes in NY, GA and most recently Wilmington. Carissa has been with me through the whole process of selling my home here. Her knowledge of market trends and timing coupled with her eye for detail and suggestions on how to improve my property for sale are second to none! We actually got an acceptable offer in approximately a week! Outstanding. If/when I decide to buy again locally, I'll have Carissa on speed dial for sure! I hope she gets the kudos she deserves for a job well done. Sincerely, Scott Wright

Carissa was there every step of the way. Anytime I had to give her a call she would always pick up through all of this. Not once did I leave a message for her to call me back. Many times through the process when I did not know what to do, she would just tell me don’t worry about it I’ll take care of it. She goes above and beyond what I think Realtor should do. She has now helped us with four different properties and every time it is completely stress-free. She always gives us the best Advice on when we should lower our price and every single time she does the property immediately sells. I could not recommend her highly enough. If you want to sell or buy a property stress-free she is the realtor for you.

Carissa was so helpful from the minute we met her 2 years ago when we first began to plan our move to Wilmington from Connecticut. She has promptly answered all of our questions and guided us through the process of a long distance move which includes a lot of moving parts. We relocated to the area in early October and found a home much quicker than we expected and it was a seamless process. She was especially helpful with the closing process since we have no knowledge of local businesses to use for inspections or a lawyer to use for closing. She is clearly an experienced professional in her field and very personable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home.

She was the BEST!!!! Carissa worked tirelessly on selling both are lots and making sure the 1031 exchange went through with out a hitch. If you want the best realtor that will help you through every bit of the selling or purchase of a house or property then Carissa is the one for you. She helped us with the closing of our two lots and the purchase of our lot in Beaufort NC. Her commitment even went as far as coming to the closing at Beaufort and take a walk around our new land purchase as we all celebrated. She was our Realtor in the beginning and a very close friend to us at the end. If you want the best Realtor in eastern NC the Carissa Kelley is the one!!!

Carissa was very helpful and fully engaged with us from the beginning of the process to the end, and helped us find a terrific rental/vacation home. She is a treasure and has our highest recommendation! After the purchase Carissa did the research for us to locate someone to repair the dock and then also house painters. We were very happy with both of her recommendations. The house is a part time rental property and Carissa helped us with getting a management company. Thank you Carissa for all of your hard work throughout the purchase process!
