Matt Bennett
Growing up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Matt has developed a deep understanding of local communities, businesses and housing trends. Through this understanding, Matt’s ability to assist clients as they navigate through one of their largest financial ventures is unparalleled. He enjoys working hard to find his clients their perfect home, whether you’re a first time home buyer, an investor or anywhere in between.
Matt has a passion for historic properties and their preservation in the community, Mid-Century Modern and state-of-the-art Contemporary homes. In his time away from real estate you can find him enjoying several outdoor activities such as biking, surfing, riding motorcycles, hiking, DIY projects and traveling.

BRIAN WHITESIDE
Brian is thrilled to help establish the company’s presence in Wilmington and the coastal markets of southeastern North Carolina. A Wilmington resident since 2008, Brian is a North Carolina native – born and raised in Asheville – and passionate about helping people discover all that this amazing state has to offer. A circuitous route landed him in Wilmington and the relationships and variety of professional experiences he gained along the way put him in the perfect position to work with anyone in the ever-changing and sometimes breakneck world of real estate.
Brian holds a BS in Business and Finance from UNCW and after a decade-long career in the foreclosure field, he received his real estate broker license and decided to get into the game from the other side. A passion for research, equity, and value drive each of his decisions.
An avid outdoorsman, especially fishing, boating, and hunting waterfowl, Brian’s passion for being on the water resonates with so many clients looking to purchase land/homes or invest in the coastal community. He loves excellent food, bourbon, and American History but most importantly spending time with his wife and three children – especially exploring the spoil islands on their skiff.
