Team Gale at Wilmington Office 110 Dungannon Blvd., Suite 100 Wilmington, NC 28403 (910) 799-3435
Tom has been a resident of the greater Wilmington area since 1994 and has seen the area change drastically while preserving it's heritage and beauty. As with many UNCW alumni, Tom just couldn't bring himself to leave this beautiful town and its friendly people after graduating. Tom is quite civic-minded and enjoys giving back to the community with projects like constructing the Habitat for Humanity home that Sea Coast Realty built and volunteering his time with his homeowners association. As with any parent, Tom's daughter keeps him busy, but in his free time he likes to kayak, frisbee golf, cheer on the UNCW Seahawk athletics or watch a movie. Tom became familiar with many roads and neighborhoods in the area as a contractor with FedEx and has put this knowledge to good use as a Realtor. A member of TEAM GALE, Tom and his fellow team members provide more comprehensive service to their clients than any single agent can. Not only do they have decades of combined real estate experience, but they can be in two places at once, providing seamless service to buyer and seller clients. Tom puts a strong emphasis on continuing real estate education, including having received his GRI (Graduate of the Realtor Institute), CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert), and GREEN designations as well as getting certifications for SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure) and WHS (Workforce Housing Specialist). His training hasn't stopped there, as he is working towards other real estate designations and he is often at government meetings making sure he's among the first to know about and understand the implications of new rules and regulations that effect builders and homeowners. If you're looking to buy or sell and you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional and friendly Realtor, look no further than Tom Gale.

We set up a tour of an apartment from Mr. Gale scheduled for this Saturday. We arrived 30 minutes before the tour was supposed to start. 2 minutes before the tour starts, a random woman shows up, walks into the apartment we were going to tour, and puts a note on the door that says “open house cancelled” and shuts the door. We were not contacted beforehand and have still not been contacted by Mr. Gale. This was perhaps the most unprofessional experience I have ever gone through in the process of renting more than 5 other apartments and houses throughout my life and touring countless others. This team did not meet even the barest standards of professionalism and I am actually grateful to have learned that this was how they treat potential renters before we were locked into a lease with them. If this is how they treat potential renters whom they are trying to impress, then I can’t even imagine the contempt with which they treat their renters. If Mr. Gale and his team had rented out the apartment in question before we were supposed to tour, we would have been much more appreciative if they were able to let us know beforehand.

I have know Jack Gale for 11 years since he helped me find a house when I relocated to Wilmington. He was so helpful then that when it was time to sell my house 11 years later, there was no question who I would call. Jack helped me and my wife with tips on what to do to get our house sold quickly and at the price we wanted. It was a great experience.

Working with Jody Roney with Team Gale was an absolute dream! Efficient, prompt and professional our house was under contract within 48 hours of listing and we were in our new house in under 6 weeks! Her knowledge and expertise made the process stress free and her communication with us throughout the whole process couldn’t have been better and her connectivity to necessary resources in the area made these transactions prompt and efficient . A genuine agent to get you and your family where you need to be!

I tried to work w Shelbi but was met w "can't have looky Lou" without signing contracts and getting bank approvals. I've dealt with agents before and you don't need that and that is not required in order to look at houses. It's funny I worked with two other real estate agents and not once did I need that in order to look at the houses that I looked at. It's funny wasn't even mentioned once.
Thank you for your feedback. Unlike most services such as attorneys, where you pay a retainer fee up front, REALTORS typically work for free and only get paid if and when you purchase a home. The only thing we ask in return is that our clients be willing to put in writing that they will be using us as their REALTOR when they do purchase. Although you may be loyal to your REALTOR, unfortunately many customers are not and we have no way of knowing who is loyal until they're not. As such, it is our company policy to get written buyer agency signed before we show property. I'm sorry if signing that paperwork is an inconvenience to you, but it's the only protection that we have to ensure we'll get paid for our time and expertise if and when our clients purchase. I'm disappointed that you gave us one star for knowledge, expertise, responsiveness and negotiation skills since you didn't use us as your agent. I'm confident you would have been impressed.

This is our third round with Paul Buckman and Team Gale at Caldwell Banker. The first two experiences were buying homes, and this last one was selling one of our homes.
When we work with Paul, we never have to worry about what the next step is, as he is always one step ahead of us. Peace of mind is very important to us and that's exactly what we have had with every encounter with Paul.
His experience in the market shows in his passion to cover all the details, and his negotiating skills are seemless.
Paul's positive, charming personality has made it a pleasure doing business with him, and we consider Paul a friend of our family now.
We recommend Team Gale/Coldwell Banker Seacoast Advantage to anyone buying or selling in Wilmington, NC. You won't be disappointed.

Our Experience with Cheryl Lowery was terrific, she prepped our home for the market, listed our home and sold it to the second person who looked at it! We got the price we wanted, and we were, in the span of two weeks, able to move into a brand new home closer to the beach!!
