We found Sarah Wood in 2021 by looking online at local realtors. We came from out of State to this area to look for a place to live. She was very helpful to ensure our purchase went smoothly. and my husband and I were very happy with her. Fast forward to 2023 and now we sold & bought in this same area. Sarah is wonderful, she is vey professional and was always prompt with any questions or concerns we had during the entire process. It's never easy to buy & sell at the same time, it's a juggling act. But Sarah took the stress away. She ALWAYS had our backs.We highly recommend Sarah, you will NOT be disappointed!!

I’m convinced that Karey Priest is a miracle worker! There’s simply no adjective to describe her! She was BEYOND amazing through the entire process—from finding me the most competitive lenders to choose from in the area, to making sure that I won my dream home with a fair and secure offer! Her follow-up was the best part, and I had peace of mind every time a worry would cross my mind. She tirelessly answered every call, text, and email within a few minutes. She even demanded that I allow her to help unpack boxes from my vehicle after closing. She wouldn’t take no for an answer! It has been a goal of mine to live in Eastern NC for many years. Karey played THE integral role in making sure that everything came to fruition once I was ready to take the leap! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! I still don’t know how you do everything that you do!!!

We just purchased our first home and it was all because of Crystal! She helped us find the perfect home and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. She is extremely good at communicating and was able to ensure everything we wanted to be taken care of was done! There was never a moment when we were waiting for her to call us back or respond to a message. This was our first home buying experience and Crystal made sure everything happened so smoothly and we were well informed at every big part of the home buying experience! If anyone is looking for a home in the area, this is the person to go to!!

Mel is an absolutely wonderful realtor and an amazing person to work with. I've always heard the saying that both realtors work for the seller, but with Mel that couldn't be farther from the truth. She will go to bat for you as the buyer. She had our back the entire time and always did what was in our best interest. I felt comfortable asking her questions and I felt confident with the advice she gave. Not to mention she's easy to talk to and get along with and is a super fun person to be around. Thank you, Mel, for everything you did for us! It was so great working with you and I really hope we get to work together again in the future!

Christina is the best. A mutual friend gave me her info and I couldn't be happier for it. I came to Christina with no clue what I was doing or even what I was looking for. I was notably hesitant and anxious, but she climbed right into the seat next to me and we rode the real estate coaster together. She was there for me to answer questions whenever I had them, and quick find out anything she might not have known. She wasn't just my realtor, she became my friend. It's obvious she has a genuine love for what she does, and that made all the difference in the world to me. So if you find yourself in the market, give Christina a call, you won't be disappointed.

We can’t say enough nice things about Christina! Not only is she down to earth, but she listens. We gave her a very hard job of finding our forever home, but she did it. We love our house and we couldn’t have done it without her. No matter what time, day or night, if we had a question she had an answer. We’ve bought a house before so this wasn’t new to us, but Christina was by far the best we’ve ever had. She shared our excitement and our frustrations and never left us hanging. If you are in the market for a new home, Christina is your girl!

We are so happy we chose Sarah Wood as our realtor to purchase our new home! She went above and beyond for us in many ways. She has a lot of knowledge of the area, and the whole buying and selling process. She made sure we understood everything she explained to us, and every text and call was answered right away. As a military family, moving states and buying a home sight unseen can be a headache, but Sarah made everything so much less stressful for us. I will always highly recommend her to everyone that’s looking!

Christina is everything you want in a real estate agent! I'd give 10 stars if I could. She works fast, and she works hard. She'd show me any house any time, and always with a cheerful smile. When we found the house I wanted, she gave me tips on how to make my offer stand out without exceeding the price I was willing to pay. When the appraisal came back low, Christina worked directly with my lender. She's an absolute professional!
The house I wanted was on the market one day and I was up against competition. Christina got me the house I wanted!! She really cared about me, walked me through every step, and supported me during stressful and emotional times. She is responsive and knowledgeable. You'll be glad she's on your team!

When my family had to move unexpectedly from out of state in a very challenging hosing market last spring Sarah Wood was the realtor our friends recommended. She did a great job helping us deal with the craziness when houses were listing and selling within hours all while we were several time zones away. She answered all our questions immediately and made time for several video walk-throughs as prospects came and went. When our offer was accepted to buy a house under construction she kept up with the builder and never left us in the dark. Thanks for making a stressful time a lot easier our family!

you are the best realtor that myself and/or my family has had or ever heard of someone having!. When I told my sister about how you’re so proactive and we don’t really have to worry about anything and you get things done without us even having to remind you. You made sure we understood everything and even reached out on our behalf to the companies we were going to use for services. If we had concerns, you were right there with suggestions that saved us a tremendous amount of time! YOU honestly deserve 2/3 of their listing agents compensation as well. You TRULY care about your clients and it definitely shows! Please keep up the GREAT work! We appreciate you so much! (And it’s not just because you are a fellow Wildcat) 😂 and thanks Greg for being there for her as you are a great contributor as well. We appreciate you both!

Even after the purchase went through she followed up and kept in touch to be sure the move in process was going smoothly. She is a Gem!!

Working with Sam Griffin at Water Street Real Estate Group was a wonderful experience. Sam was very patient and attentive and made sure we found the perfect house. She was knowledgeable when it came to the contract and the purchasing stage of our home purchase. She was always available to answer questions and made sure we understood the process. I can’t wait to work with Sam again in the future as I begin to build my investment portfolio. Thanks so much Sam you are Awesome! See you soon

Working with Mel was awesome, and a lot of fun. This being our first house not knowing much or what to suspect, she helped us along the way. Mel even answered our phone calls and text on weekends, and way past office hours, true dedication to helping us. Showed up to every last inspection and asked great questions I never would have thought to ask. Just all around loved working with Mel.

Sarah Wood was our buyers agent and I cannot offer praise sufficient to express our gratitude. She was very knowledgeable and communicative, I never had to wait more than a few minutes for a response to a text, and my phone calls were always answered. However, I rarely needed to call or text her, as I received updates from her on a regular basis. The last couple of weeks before closing the updates sometimes came 2 to 3 times a day. Our lender was exceptionally difficult to deal with, and the sellers agent left much to be desired in the communication department. The end result of that was Sarah having to do much more than her fair share of the leg work. I honestly believe had it not been for her outstanding level of communication with the attorney, the lender, and the sellers agent, we would still be waiting to close. Her extraordinary efforts made the experience easy, despite the stress induced by the incompetence of our lender. I have recommended her to every person I know who is looking for a home, and my wife and I have agreed that she will be the first person we contact for any future real estate transactions, buying or selling.

Heather Sawyer was amazing! We were moving from Maryland to Elizabeth City, NC and couldn’t come down to view properties. With how fast homes were selling we were afraid we would never find a home. Heather assured me that we could video chat during a walk through if we saw a home online we were interested in. She and her team were very responsive to our questions- we had a lot as first time homebuyers. I saw a new listing on a Sunday night and messaged heather right away. She wasted no time at all and managed to get a 8am viewing for the next day. We fell in love with the property and I told her “I want this house & I want the seller to accept OUR offer. “ Heather knew exactly what to do and within a few hours of submitting an offer, it was accepted. The property was on the market for less than 24 hours. Closing was set at 5 weeks and I told her I wanted to get in sooner, and she made that happen. We closed in record time thanks to Heather and the amazing attorney they work with, Will Norell. We absolutely LOVE our new home and are so grateful we had Heather to guide us in this crazy process.

Mindy Lorber has been my Property Manager, leasing both commercial & residential properties for several years, and has now moved into the SALES side of the real estate business. Mindy has recently SOLD both commercial & several residential properties for me. She has the qualities that make her extremely successful and effective. She is an excellent communicator with both me as a seller, and the buyer’s agents, and always on top of the ever changing status. She has gone above and beyond with not only getting the properties listed (doing the research to assist with assessing a fair market value of the property), but getting the properties ready for showings, and followed through with coordinating the after inspection repairs, while I am out of town. I can’t say enough about her professionalism, knowledge within the industry, and her overall attention to details enabling the transaction to get done. She is very smart, efficient, and works with a high degree of integrity, always very conscientious, keeping the clients best interest in mind. I have the highest level of confidence in her and feel she would be able to properly assess any situation and figure out an effective solution. Mindy Lorber is a huge asset to any real estate transaction!

Samara is truly a gem in the real estate business:) She was honest, caring and professional while working on behalf of my family to sell my mother’s home, despite my mother’s home not being an easy property to sell. She is intrinsically passionate about real estate, and it shows in how she interacts with her clients as well as with others on her clients’ behalf. I am immeasurably appreciative of all that she has done for my family and wish nothing but the best for her in the future.

She seldom missed a phone call and always seemed to have the answer, despite some of the challenges my home purchase posed and the number of times I’d reach out with questions. We could not have found a more perfect home for us or a better agent to help us get the keys in hand. If you are looking for a new home,
Mel is highly recommended. She will bend over backwards to help you through the process.

She is exceptionally a hard working person and will make sure that everything during the process is taken care off. She made my dream come true in owning a lovely home together with my two children. As a single parent, I thought I will not go this far but she helped me get what I truly deserve. It's an up and down emotion but trust and discipline will get you through the hard times.

My realtor Samara Griffin was the absolute BEST!!! She made my first time home buying experience an enjoyable one. She took the time to explain the process to me. She learned my likes and dislikes, must haves and all! She wasn’t trying to sell me just a house, but help me find a home. She gave me her undivided attention at all times, kept me encouraged when things were not going my way and even remained patient with me (I’m a very particular person). Even though I was very aware she had other clients, she made me feel like I was the only one! I can not say enough good things about Sam; she was heaven sent! She went above and beyond my expectations of a realtor. I would definitely recommend her for all of your real estate needs.

We were in the market for our first home and we worked with our agent Samara Griffin. She patiently and eagerly took us to visit the homes on our list. And when we found the perfect one, she kicked things into gear to get us in our new home as soon as possible.
The first part of the transaction was very easy, but then we ran into major hiccups (not related to Samara). However, Samara continued to guide and support us along the very complicated and stressful journey to homeownership. She attended any meeting, made any phone calls, did any research and of course advocated for us when we were too stressed and confused. She remained hopeful for us, even when it seemed all of the odds were against us. Never did we have to chase her down for unreturned calls or messages. We knew she was by our side and ready to give 110% to the effort to secure our home. After months of back and forth with lenders and the credit bureaus and even the seller, we FINALLY made it to the closing table. On the day of closing, Samara had to attend a funeral for a very close loved one, but guess what? She showed up early to the closing to be there for any questions, to comfort my trembling nerves and to see the transaction through. Getting the keys to our new home seemed like the impossible journey. However, with Samara by our side, we made it. And our home is that much sweeter :)
