It’s a tough market right now for buyers but Wendy never gave up. She paid attention to what we wanted and was relentless in searching for our perfect home. All the agents at Brass Lantern have been helpful and friendly and treated us like family. And now we have the perfect place! We will definitely be using them again in the future!

This is our 3rd time working with Ellen! She’s wonderful. She helped us find our townhome rental in 2014, she helped us buy our 2nd home in 2020, and when our family decided to move back to Pennsylvania, she helped us sell our home. She’s everything you’re looking for in a realtor: knowledgeable, responsive, kind, passionate, understanding. She gets the job done—fast—and she puts the needs of her clients above all else. Thank you, Ellen!!!

Ellen is the consummate professional and was very helpful finding me a home in a very competitive market. From the inquiry to the offer on my home she kept in constant communication and aided me in making critical decisions. She is ethical, hard working and uses her experience to think outside the box in order to provide outstanding services. I will be referring to my friends and co-workers for her services.

Ellen Holmes was great throughout the home buying process. Helped us find our forever home in this crazy market!!! She has great knowledge of Eastern NC, and is a true professional. She is a great realtor, honest, and is now a friend of the family. Would recommend using Ellen if you are trying to buy/sell a home!

Ellen was by far the most knowledgeable and area expert we’ve ever worked with. She was optimistic, fun, and beyond helpful in what can sometimes be a stressful endeavor. Her expertise in real estate and the 22 years of living and working in the area can not be understated! Thank you for helping us find our next home!! (Also, the interior design in the Swansboro office is top notch)
