The Costin Group is proud to be recognized as two of the top 100 Realtors in the Cape Fear region based on closed volume.

In a market as competitive as Wilmington, with over 3,500 licensed agents, this is something we don't take lightly.

Wilmington isn’t just where we work. It’s home. And helping people make smart, confident real estate decisions here is something we take seriously.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in 2026, we would love to be your people.

It all started when Matt listed 429 Bayshore Drive back in February 🤯
That house went a *little viral* over on our IG and website, since it’s pretty rare to find a house with a pool in Wilmington for under $500k...

ENTER BRYAN & KELSEY IN THE DMs 🥹

First-time homebuyers who were excited, ready, and anxious to plant some roots in Wilmington! First step- get preapproved with Emily Costin - Lender, Mullinix Mortgage ✅

Unfortunately, the Bayshore house didn’t work out for them… but FORTUNATELY, their perfect house was right around the corner on Lady Bug Lane 😍

Oh, I almost forgot to mention… we were able to negotiate $13k in seller paid closing costs into our contract 😱

Between the top-tier lending experience with Emily, the constant support from Haley Taylor Leemhuis with Coast to Close, and sweet Sarah getting us seamlessly closed at Mann, Mcgibney & Jordan… this was a very HAPPY CLOSING DAY indeed!!!

Congratulations to my precious buyers! If only every deal was this easy 😆

Thanks to the power of social media, this is one more in the bucket towards my goal to sell 25 houses in 2025 to 25 people that find me on social media 🎉 Will you be one of them?! Matt and I can’t wait to work with you this year!
