Hi everybody. I just closed on a townhome in Shallotte. Joel represented my interest as the buyer, in all the best ways. I met him on the phone and he was quick to take my information and contact me with leads on investment/multi-family properties. Joel even met some of my family members and showed them a lovely home, in their neighborhood, that was for sale. Joel (aka Billy) was my boots on the ground and his keen insight made all the difference to me. Would I use him again, in more, real estate adventures? I couldn't blink fast enough to say....definitely....YES! Always yours, Stephen (Vegas).

Joel Sheesley's extensive experience and sparkling personality have made this experience the most delightful I have ever had in the real estate arena. He outlined every step of the process, followed-up timely on every issue, and was just there when I needed to speak. I would highly recommend him and will certainly retain him again, if the need arose.

Joel Sheesley is the man!
Hands down the best relator in town. We have now bought a home with him and sold a home with him and both experiences were the best one could ask for. His knowledge of Wilmington and the surrounding areas is second to none.
I have also and will continue to refer anyone and everyone that is in need of a stand up person to be in their court when it comes to purchasing a home or selling a home.

I've recently had the opportunity to work with Joel (& team) on selling a home in the local area and purchasing another new build home. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with someone who exemplifies professionalism in every possible way. Joel did an outstanding job in marketing my property and put together one of the most impressive marketing packages I've experienced in previously selling/purchasing multiple homes in the area. From the beginning of the process, his knowledge of the market was evident and he worked tirelessly to sell my home against a deadline during unprecedented times (Covid). His communication, responsiveness and follow up have been top notch ... even post purchase of the new home. Without hesitation I give Joel Sheesley a ringing endorsement and would highly recommend him and his team to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home! My only regret is that I did not meet him sooner, when I was previously doing the same type of transaction.

Joel was a pleasure to work with! From the beginning Joel guided us but still let us make our own decisions and he supported us throughout the process. Our situation got a bit muddy towards the end (due to no fault of Joel’s or our own) and I still feel as though he did everything he could to make our sell happen! He went above and beyond our expectations to help us with our out of state move and even handled some things with our buying experience, even though he was not obligated to do so. I hope we have the opportunity to work with Joel again someday!

My husband and I are new home buyers and fell in love with an old house. Joel did a very good job of lining up all the necessary contractors and inspectors to make sure there was nothing wrong with the house. He also gave us great advice when guiding us through the negotiation process. Would definitely recommend to my friends! Thanks Joel!

My husband and I were looking for our first home and could not have chosen a better realtor than Joel! Joel was extremely knowledgeable in regard to pricing, long-term value, location, and more... He took the time to understand our wants and needs and what we were looking for -- and we were in a serious time crunch! He treated us as his most important clients, though I know he had a lot on his plate. He helped us navigate a lot of the stressful parts of buying a home and supported us from start to finish. Even though we had just met Joel, we felt like we had a friend who was keeping our best interests in mind. I highly recommend Joel for any and all of your real estate needs!

Joel is simply amazing at what he does. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and giving of his time. He knows the business of selling a house well from addressing damage from the recent hurricanes and preparing the house for listing to closing, I felt extremely comfortable and confident working with Joel. Joel took the time to understand my needs and was patient throughout the entire process. Thank you, Joel, for going above and beyond my expectations! I would most definitely recommend Joel to anyone who needs a professional, knowledgeable and experienced realtor.

My house was listed for a day before I had an offer. I had to close on my house while I was out of town on business and Joel took care of all the leg work I would have normally had to do prior to the house closing. I would suggest him for any real estate transaction you may need.

I ran into Joel by inquiring a home with him as the listing agent. After we met at the property and spoke for a bit about what I was looking for, it was just smooth sailing from then on. We looked at several properties together and had an answer for every question I had, he did his research before we even walked in the door. My journey from "Hi Joel, I'm just looking, I might buy a house" to "I just bought a house" was less than three months. This was my first home purchase and I can say with certainty because of his help the stress was non-existent. He helped me find what I was looking for did everything he could to ensure I got it, and I did! I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone buying or selling a house. This is your guy.

Joel was incredibly patient with us throughout the entire process. He worked with us for over 2 years while we painstakingly made all the decisions involved in selling our home and purchasing another home. He made us feel as if we were his only clients, negotiated everything in our favor and made sure everything went smoothly. We are now living in the perfect house, one we were able to spot the hour it came on the market thanks to the portal Joel set up for us. We were never late to the listing game, and he did everything possible to ensure we could see any and every home right away. We are so appreciative of Joel's patience, consistency, hard work, and dedication.

Best of the best! Our experience with Joel was nothing less than outstanding. As we were not exactly sure as to what we were looking for, Joel demonstrated excellent listening skills, a great mastery and knowledge of the local area, and appropriately challenged us to consider homes outside of our comfort zone in order to better define our search. In the end Joel helped us find the perfect home for us - we could not be more satisfied. During the negotiation process, he was realistic, supportive, assertive, and most importantly, effective. Having purchased several homes throughout our lifetimes, this was without question the best experience we have ever had working with a realtor!
