Brett's family has called the Wilmington area home since the 1700's, forging a family tradition nearly three centuries strong. Throughout his lifetime, Brett has been presented with many opportunities elsewhere, but has always remained loyal to this wonderful coastal community. "All my business decisions have been based on my hometown," Brett says. "My family is here. I love the beaches, and my family's heritage is here. I can't imagine anything that could ever take me away from this area."

Wilmington's small town charm tends to easily captivate people that way. Brett's earliest memories are those of splashing in the water at his grandparents' beach house. To this day, he and his wife and two daughters can be found at Brett's parents home every Friday night for a family cook out. With family ties this strong to the community, nothing could ever lure Brett away from Wilmington. After graduating from college (UNC Wilmington, of course), Brett was a fast-rising employee of a major international bank. When presented with the opportunity for a promotion requiring a move to another state, Brett assessed his priorities and kindly replied, "No thanks."

This scenario has played itself out several times and in each instance, his answer has been the same. "Raising my family here means more to me than any job ever could," Brett says with his friendly Southern smile. It should come as no surprise then, that Brett's solution to this dilemma was to tie his business career to the community he's so passionate about.

As one of the Greater Wilmington area's leading real estate professionals, Brett's lifetime of local knowledge lends him the insight to help make your home buying or selling goals a reality. Combined with his background in mortgage banking and his friendly, low pressure approach to the business, you'll see why Brett has become widely known as Wilmington's Hometown Resource.

Perhaps more important than his local knowledge or experience is Brett's ability to relate to his clients' needs. As a father and  grandfather, a Wilmington native and a man appreciative of the rich history and unlimited potential of this area, Brett brings a genuine, caring approach to each of his clients. "I love this area and it's people," he says. "I also love introducing people from out of town to our little corner of the world. I truly believe life is different here from anywhere else."

Brett was wonderful to work with on the sale of my home in Hampstead. He was always prepared and followed through with everything promised. He answered texts and returned phone calls as though he had nothing better to do. I would highly recommend hiring Brett to sell your home. It was a very smooth experience, despite me being nervous right down to the very end. He was very reassuring! Thank you, Brett!

I'm writing to extend my most sincere appreciation to Brett Knowles, who handled the sale of a home for us in Wilmington, NC not long ago.  From start to finish, he was not only a benchmarking professional (on time... faithfully returned calls & texts... did what he said he was going to to every single time), he was also very much a wise counsellor and a patient, trusted guide throughout the process.  We were selling the home of a dear loved one who'd recently passed, so we were out of state and had to rely on Brett for a host of services, some far less related to the job of a realtor than others. He delivered across the board--helped us prep for the sale and moved the home at a good price in a tight market.  Moreover, if what we were looking for or needed at various points along the way wasn't within his lane, he knew exactly who to call to help us move forward. On behalf of my family and I, huge thanks to Brett for making a really daunting process look easy from the sidelines. We all know it's not.  If you're looking for a seasoned real estate expert who is as kind as he is knowledgeable to help you sell your property, call Brett.  I promise you you'll be glad you did!
