10020 Beach Dr. SW Calabash, NC 28467 (910) 579-8471
My husband and I live in lower Brunswick County. I retired as a Purchasing Group Manager from Procter & Gamble. We moved from Cincinnati to Brunswick county (and I am originally from the Boston area so at times I talk funny). We have vacationed in and around this area for 12 years. When we were deciding on a "warm weather" spot, Brunswick County was by far our first choice. We know we made the right decision and LOVE living here.
I love real estate! It's really that simple. Having over 25 years’ experience in Purchasing and Customer Service, I have landed right where I belong! I am so fortunate to be pairing my business skill set with a market that continues to fuel my love of meeting people and helping them search for the best possible place to call "home". If you, family or friends are thinking of buying or selling, I would consider it a privilege to be your guide through the process.
I chose Sea Coast Advantage based on testimonials from fellow brokers, buyers and sellers, they offered superb training and a collaborative culture. With me you will get excellent customer service, transparency, fairness, honesty in dealings and a successful marketing approach.
You have many options when deciding with whom to sell or buy – I just hope you will consider me and let me show you what I can do for you to make this a positive experience. You can reach me at:
Thanks for your time and consideration! I look forward to hearing from you.

Sheryl is great! From the time that we reached out to her to discuss and view potential properties in Ocean Isle Beach, she was responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly to work with. She showed us several properties that we were interested in, and she did due diligence on our questions. She represented us in successfully submitting an offer, and she was on top of the process to closing. Since we live out of town, she graciously offered to handle some items for us locally. We would highly recommend Sheryl!

Selected Sheryl from a stack of post.cards I received from various agencies. My wife and I selected two realtors to interview. Sheryl was the most experienced and lived in our neighborhood. Listed property one day and she found a buyer the NEXT DAY. Sheryl is our 5 star angel and a dear friend.

Sheryl is the reason why we have been able to purchase 2 highly coveted homes when we had less to offer than other competing parties. She knew exactly what we were looking for. Within hours of each of our homes popping up on the market she had set up our walk throughs, making it possible to have offers on the table in less than 24 hours. No one else had a chance because of Sheryl. She is speedy, efficient, responsive, honest, and extremely resourceful.

Amazing real estate agent. My second experience buying a home with her. I referred her to my parents. When it comes to getting preapproved for a loan I recommend reaching out to a bank in the area opposed to currently established loan broker relationships. I believe this would make your experience the best.

Sheryl did an outstanding job. She was responsive and very helpful always. She stayed with the movers when we had to leave for the airport. She made the time line work for the closing on the house we sold and the house we bought work. She is a very special lady.Anyone who lists with her is a lucky person. The one thing we forgot to add was House for sale - any items in the house can be purchased separately.

Sheryl has taken on many roles , very well, in helping us buy (twice) in Brunswick County, and now to sell our property -AdvisorAdvocateCounselorExpertFriendGPS - when buying Sheryl directed us to various communities, avoiding those that wouldn't fit our needs and desires, meeting with us tirelessly, answering phone calls and texts promptly and evaluating strengths and weaknesses of each. when selling she pointed out which communities were competitive to our listing, and which were less so. Human beingInsurance (against bad decisions) Investor (in real estate herself)And on and on.When we were buyers Sheryl secured showings for us to maximize our time, showed us everything including new construction, and leveled with me about what we could expect in what was (then) a tough sellers market with too little inventory that we could actually move into. So we were galvanized to prepare our Virginia home, found help, and were able to sell near the peak, so we could offer more downpayment here and make a winning offer on our dream home.On both sides as buyers and sellers, she was able to give me perspective on the swings of the local market, and helped me to understand what could be expected from renting our condo long-term.Before we decided to list, she had advised us about seasonal short-term rental expectations and to be sure to position our rentals in various marketplaces, and even how to evaluate property managers.We had put a lot of personal effort and funds into improving our property over the time we owned it, and Sheryl made sure we priced that investment into our asking price. When we decided it *was* time to sell, given our family's needs and circumstances, she helped us price competitively and prepared us for buyers' offers. We could anticipate what offers to expect, and how to win against competing listings. And we never had to reduce that asking price, which could have weakened our listing's perceived value. Finally we could appreciate that the offer we accepted was fair relative to competition, it fit our timeline as well as the buyer's, at a price still advantageous to us.

After struggling with another realtor in trying to find our solution in buying a home...Sheryl was a breath of fresh air. This is the most important decision we will make as we transition into our retirement years and Sheryl treated it as such. I can be demanding at times and Sheryl was always a step ahead...this gave me much confidence in her. She was always as she would tell me "I'm on it". Thank you Sheryl!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Sheryl French for more than two years. We were looking to retire and relocate to Coastal North Carolina. Sheryl took the time to understand our needs and wants. Since we were out of state, Sheryl's knowledge of the area was instrumental in helping us find the perfect home. Sheryl was very patient with us both when we visited her in person a couple of times and showing us properties via Facetime or Zoom. Sheryl went above and beyond, often trudging through muddy construction sites and climbing over construction materials to show us a home. On our most recent visit to the area to view homes, Sheryl was gracious enough to share the back seat of our vehicle with our beloved dog Penny! Sheryl knew what we were looking for in a new home and didn't waste our time showing us properties that she knew we wouldn't be interested in. Sheryl was always available to answer questions and was very knowledgeable about the changing market. She is a true professional and we will recommend her to friends and families or anyone who is looking for a home or wishing to sell a home. It is evident that she puts her clients interest's in the forefront. It has been a pleasure working with Sheryl. Not only did we gain a trusted real estate professional, we feel we gained a new friend! The first one in NC!Thank you Sheryl!Fondly,Rich and Teresa Giolito
