The ILM Realtor
podcast.
Short, honest conversations with the people who actually do this work on the Cape Fear coast: the attorney, the underwriter, the insurance agent, the CEO of my own brokerage. The questions national advice never answers, asked by someone who moved here too.

an episode.
Drop your email and I'll send new episodes straight to your inbox, along with what I'm seeing in the Wilmington market that month. No daily blasts, ever.

What we actually
talk about.
Every episode is one specific question and one local expert who answers it for a living. I ask the things a buyer or seller would be embarrassed to ask, so you don't have to.
