Laura and Tony were extremely professional from our first meeting until closing our home. They helped and advised on staging and marketing our home for sale. They managed to obtain buyers and final sale at our asking price. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for serious real estate agents.

Laura is the best real estate agent i have every worked with. She is very knowledgeable with the real estate environment in the Wilmington NC area. She is the hardest working person you could ever work with. She returned all my calls/ text messages in a very timely matter and kept me informed every step through the process. She sold a piece of land for my wife and I and treated us with the respect and courtesy as though we were selling a million dollar mansion. I highly recommend Laura for all your real estate needs. She is the best

We both bought, and sold a house through Laura and Tony. They went above and beyond our expectations for professionalism and service. They helped with staging our home to look it's best for showings, and helped us with our move to Brunswick Forest. Throughout we were kept informed with feedback about our showings, and kept up to date with the changes in the market. The third open house they did on our property resulted in the eventual sale. We would highly recommend their whole team for buying and selling.

I recently worked with Laura to sell a house, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Laura provided expert advice on pricing, helped renovate, clean up, and stage the house beautifully, and marketed it in a way that generated a lot of interest. Communication was always clear, and she was always available to answer questions or provide updates. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Laura and Tony did an awesome job from start to finish! Due to our circumstance's, neither myself nor my sister were available to assist in getting the house ready. We relied on Laura & Tony to coordinate the staging and prepping of the home for sale. This included, power washing, electric, plumbing and roofing repairs etc., keeping us up to date with every step in the process. We had to rely heavily on their expertise and local contacts to make the house show worthy. They rose to every challenge, priced the house appropriately and had an offer within a week of going live! As stressful as this situation was for us Laura's team handled everything! You cannot go wrong in selling your home with Laura Mathis.

How do we even begin to say what we feel. Laure Plus Tony is exceptional. Laura’s visionary talent for staging and presenting our home and Tony’s genuine personality and his desire to help combine to be a winning team beyond any real estate experience we have ever encountered. These super positive people stepped in and had a vision and marketing plan that resulted in selling our home in 2 days for over asking price, During the process of preparing our home for its first showing they spent a great deal of time helping us see a different version of our home that they felt would enhance the sale. After the sale, their help continued right up to the day we moved out. Laura’s constant helpfulness and Tony’s desire to help us move furniture on numerous occasions

Laura Mathis is the ultimate professional, but she is much more than that. From the moment we met, she exuded warmth and a positive attitude that made us comfortable about her ability to aid us in what is, after all, a stressful event, selling our home of 22 years. She has a great eye for style and staged our house so that it became a showplace in every way. She explained clearly what we could expect during the showings and each stage of the actual sale, helped us find a move manager who helped a great deal with our move, and more than fulfilled all our expectations in the successful sale of our house. Laura made us feel that she actually cared about our being satisfied with her work, and, in fact, we consider her not just our agent but our friend.

In addition to her extensive knowledge of real estate transactions, Laura is also a great person. She is very diligent and makes certain that every need of a client is met as it arises.

We got off to a rough start because of a misunderstanding and the stress which was put on us by the builder. It wasn't t Laura's fault. Once we got past that everything went very smoothly. Laura is a kind and understanding person. We had something like 29 showings 32 days and the house actually sold in about a month.Nice job Laura!!!!

Laura Mathis was professional and knowledgeable while being warm and positive at the same time. Not only did she help us maximize the sale of our home, but she made the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. She was extremely communicative, making herself available whenever we reached out, as well as proactively keeping us informed, and always pleasant and friendly to work with. Her knowledge of the real estate market and integrity with which she conducted business has forever changed our stereotypical view of realtors! We felt confident in her abilities and judgment, and we can’t recommend her services enough.

Laura was excellent, kept me informed throughout the process and never pressured me into a decision which I might later question. There were a few bumps in the process, mainly from an insane neighbor, but we were able to accurately discern what was genuine (and must have our attention) and what was nonsense and bluster. And we ended up making slightly more than double what we paid for our condo 6 years ago--and I'm not a real estate investor. I'd recommend Laura to anyone that I know looking to buy in SW North Carolina. Jack Redmond

Laura and her team were wonderful to work with. She took a careful assessment of our home, making notes on improvements that had been done, and offering sound advice for areas that needed to be spruced up. We trusted her judgement and recommendations and followed through with no regret whatsoever! She was engaged and genuinely caring in all of our interactions with her. We knew we were in good hands. Our house sold well over asking price in just four short days! This exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend Laura and her team!

Laura has been there for all the questions we have had along the way of selling our home as well as buying the new one.

Laura Mathis is an excellent, exceptional real estate agent. She is extremely knowledgeable of the local market, friendly, is attentive to every detail and creative. We bought our current house through her because she asked us what we were looking for and which neighborhoods and when a match went on the market, she contacted us that day and asked us if I would like her to do a video tour of the home.. She was at our new home within 30 minutes of my saying "Yes". After viewing the video and narration she did, my husband and I wrote an offer. She kept us advised of all the steps necessary before the closing and stayed in touch with us after. Our new home is everything we wanted. Thank you so much. Laura!!

We felt like we won the lottery when we found Laura Mathis as our real estate agent. Laura is professional, knowledgeable, thorough and extremely helpful. Having bought and sold houses in the past and dealt with several real estate agents in the past, this was by far our best experience. I completely and without reservation recommend Laura Mathis.
