Scott and Shannon Britton, RiverPark, Fl, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne Gwaltney was straight forward with us on our offer to purchase land in Oriental. We loved how she explained our offer was strong and came back with our offer was granted, and agreed that we had done well on this purchase. Actually explained how the seller could of by spending some extra funds on up keep of the land, made more money, and the offer was understand of such.
Heather Brewer, Oriental NC, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne did a wonderful job of showcasing and marketing our home. She gave us sound advice in our negotiations and above all was kind, compassionate and patient with us.
Even though we hadn't dealt with Suzanne Gwaltney or Century 21 Sail/Loft Realty previously, I researched realtors in Oriental and decided that Suzanne would be the right fit based on her local knowledge and sales record.
We made the right choice when we selected Suzanne to sell our property. She was personable and easy to work. I would highly recommend Suzanne.
Robert & Kiyoko Escude, Pagosa Springs,, a buyer from Arapahoe, NC
Very difficult to find the right property at this time but
Suzanne never gave up we were fortunate to have her. Her office staff are great as well and we're helpful! Great job and thank you!
Thank you Suzanne Gwalthney for a great sales experience
Walli Somerville : Oriental, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne was always friendly and went the extra mile to make us comfortable. Always ready to answer questions and informative. It was a pleasure working with her to find our new home.
Suzanne is the best realtor we've ever worked with! She walked us through each step and kept us informed on everything. I would highly recommend her for any real estate transactions. Thank you Suzanne!
Bobby Brewer, Oriental NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
My wife and I have worked with Suzanne and the Sailloft team for many years and would recommend them to anyone.
Suzanne was a delight. She is polite and easy to deal with while being super friendly and sweet. She is knowledgeable and professional in her job. It is apparent that she cares about her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Suzanne.
Phil and Kathy Walters, Henderson, NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
We had the good fortune to have Suzanne Gwaltney return our inquiry online about a condo for sale in Oriental. You know how it is when you meet someone for the first time and you instantly know that you have found a new friend? That was our experience with Suzanne. Her knowledge and understanding of our needs became clear that first day. Over the next several weeks she showed us several properties and then she found "the one". We cannot say enough positive things about her professionalism, realty knowledge and her infectious enthusiasm. We now have a home in Oriental and she made it happen for us.
You are much appreciated, Suzanne!
Suzanne Gwaltney is an excellent agent who I recommend highly. She spent time getting to know me and my husband so she understood our needs. She knows the area well from simpler things like restaurants and grocery stores to more crucial things like which areas are prone to flooding. She is patient, honest and responsive in her communication. She provides a high level of service that is becoming more rare. I highly recommend Suzanne and would not hesitate to work with her in the future.
John and Mitchelle Auton , a buyer from Arapahoe, NC
This is the third time we have used Suzanne. She and all the folks at Sail Loft are top notched. We would highly recommend reaching out to Suzanne for all real estate needs.
Michelle S Morris , Arapahoe, a buyer from Arapahoe, NC
I inquired about a home in Oriental, NC that I saw on Zillow. Suzanne Gwaltney was the agent who represented the property. She responded quickly and inquired about what I was looking for . She asked lots of questions and gave me considerable information. There weren't any houses in the area that met our needs and Suzanne did not try to push us in a direction that wasn't right for us. We put our house hunt on hold for over a year but when we reached out to Suzanne over a year later, she was ready to jump right in. She knows the area well; she showed us places and areas we never would have known about from an online search. The people in her office are courteous and helpful as well. Dana met us on a Sunday when we had to change an appointment day at the last minute. Suzanne handled the contracts; negotiations; inspections and everything you would expect. She also will also tell you about restaurants; grocery stores and where to get a good cup of coffee! She exceeded our expectations and provides a level of service not frequently seen anymore. I highly recommend Suzanne Gwaltney.
Patrick Quinn, Merritt, NC, a buyer from Merritt, NC
Suzanne understood what we were looking for from the start. She was honest and concise in explaining her role as a buyer's broker. She was consistently pleasant, helpful, and quick to return our calls. She is knowledgable of the area and I recommend her without reservation.
Christine Hobson, Oriental, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne came prepared for our first meeting. She was on time and professional. She listened carefully to what my husband and I wanted to achieve with our home. Subsequent feedbacks and follow up were always when she said they would be. We felt understood and looked after.
We were particularly pleased with Suzannes negotiating skills and felt she was looking out for our best interests. It was definitely not a lets get a sale at any price approach which we have encountered when dealing with other realtors in the past.
We would have no hesitation recommending Suzanne Gwaltney to friends and family in search for a serious realtor who works hard, has a wealth of experience, remains calm and achieves desired results.
For us, this was the best real estate transaction and best broker we've dealt with ever. Suzanne made the process effortless. We would highly recommend she and her firm to anyone who wants a thorough, professional, enthusiastic buyer and firm!
Jim Barton Greenwood, IN, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzannes integrity and knowledge of the market is outstanding. Great job and thanks for all the work done in this sale
Tom and Tali Northcentral Pennsylvania , a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne Gwaltney's professionalism, friendliness, and immense amount of patience during our property search created a wonderful working relationship and personal friendship.
We visited Century 21 Sail/Loft office on several occasions and we were always met with professional courtesy and friendliness by all staff.
We had a unique situation with clearing the title for the sale and transfer of the title. Suzanne was flexible and willing to work with us so the sale could be completed. Although a difficult and delicate situation, which resulted in delays in the closing process, Suzanne worked with us and kept the buyers agent informed.
Suzanne is always a pleasure to work with. She took the time to know our expectations from the sale of our house. I highly recommend Suzanne for any property saling or buying.
Mary Healey Sedutto, Ph.D., Alexandria,, a seller from Oriental, NC
Over the years, I have purchased and sold houses in NY, NJ, VA, FL and NC. Suzanne Gwaltney ranks at the top of all agents and brokers with whom I have worked.
George R. Feldman Edinburg, VA, a seller from Oriental, NC
As i mentioned above, Suzanne protected our interests and would not let agents, brokers, or potential buyers take advantage of us.
Phyllis Chaplik, Oriental, NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne Gualtney is the only one that I would ever want to do business with. She is reliable, hard-working, attentive to my needs and an overall wonderful person to work with. I consider her as "friend".
Jill Dexter, Pompano Beach, FL, a seller from Oriental, NC
They did a great job, selling quickly and for a great price. They worked though a VA Loan, and closed in a timely manner.
Suzanne was patient, not pushy, and really seemed to understand exactly what we were looking for, and the property that she found for us far exceeded our expectations!
Diana Peterson, formerly of Oriental, NC, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne Gwaltney is well known in town as the go to realtor.
Some aspects of the sale were a bit unusual and Suzanne handled it all seamlessly. She kept us informed every step of the way and was able to smooth over any bumps we ran into.
Melissa & Steve Lavallee , a seller from Merritt, NC
We were fortunate that our house sold with the first showing of 2, less than 24 hours after initial MLS listing. Suzanne spent time on a sales campaign with beautiful photography that attracted quick buyers.
We are thankful.
Steve Jarrell Winterville, a buyer from Oriental, NC
I highly recommend Suzanne Gwaltney to anyone interested in any type of real estate no matter weather buying or selling!
Mike and Denise Barton, Merritt, NC, a buyer from Merritt, NC
Suzanne is one of the best real estate agents we've ever dealt with, and arguably the best agent to handle a complete purchase process for us. Friendly and attentive, she always made us feel as if we were the only customers she had throughout the sale, and seemed to go out of her way to provide us with everything we needed during and after the sale. Her knowledge of the area made her a valuable resource, and was helpful in getting our inspections and other peripheral requirements taken care of, which made for a smooth purchase process. We will definitely contact Suzanne if we have any other real estate needs in the area.
Suzanne spent time with us during our first visit to Oriental even though we were not in the market to purchase. She was generous with her time sharing local knowledge and showing us a diverse blend of properties which in the end helped narrow down our search
Sail Loft Realty has a wonderful reputation for professionalism and results in this coastal area. We consulted Suzanne as we make plans to sell our waterfront home and move to a smaller, one story home off the big water. Age dictates that we make changes in lifestyle. Suzanne visited our home, discussed our future needs and, within two days, provided a comprehensive analysis of our property with suggested sales prices and recommendations on marketing options. She is a true real estate expert with broad experience in the market and a commitment to customer service. I would strongly recommend her services to both buyers and sellers in this market. 2020
John and Penny Gray, Raleigh, NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne was efficient, knowledgeable, responsive, and gave us her full attention both during our visit and in following up with information on various properties. On a personal note, I have worked with dozens of real estate brokers over the years and Suzanne is absolutely top-notch! I would recommend her without reservation to any family and friends looking to buy or sell a home in Pamlico County.
Mark and Suzanne Johnson, a buyer from Arapahoe, NC
Where do we start to explain how grateful we are to have met Suzanne Gwaltney?? She is one of the most genuine people we have encountered and now consider her to be more than our realtor, she's our friend. Her expertise in the process and the area we were buying is second to none. We had some challenges with the purchase but she was able to calm our nerves and handle all the things we didn't have time for (or understand). Always a professional, Suzanne handled it all and never showed any concern or frustration (although I'm sure she had some!). We will forever be thankful for the recommendation to use Suzanne as our realtor!
We would strongly commend Suzanne ti anyone looking to purchase a home. She is knowledgeable, looks at the total picture and is able to offer wonderful suggestions and insights. Coming from NJ these attributes were a total asset
Paul & Pam Marston, Eastern North, a seller from Merritt, NC
We recently sold our beautiful 6 acre water front home with the help of Suzanne and Larry Gwaltney. Here's what happened ....
After doing some research and taking note of the quality and number of homes sold by Suzanne and Larry Gwaltney, my wife and I contacted them to meet with us. We were impressed with their professional approach, their marketing plan, and their quality presence on the internet.
We were not disappointed! Within two weeks of listing our home and getting it displayed beautifully in numerous on-line venues, Suzanne had a buyer. She was contacted by our out-of-state buyers directly and acted as a "dual agent" in the process. We trusted Suzanne and Larry implicitly from the first meeting, and we knew we were not dealing with an average real estate firm. These folks are excellent, and we would recommend them to anyone who needs to buy or sell a property.
Suzanne or Larry will always answer your questions honestly, and give you straight-forward advice. It's nice to do business with nice people, who are really skilled with representing both buyers and sellers. There is a reason for their results .... HIGHLY RECOMMEND ....

Suzanne Gwaltney was both fun and efficient, with great local knowledge and insightful recommendations for people to meet. The process of buying this lot could not have been easier or more pleasant!
Linda Solby, North Carolina, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne Gwaltney is a stellar real estate agent. She goes well beyond what is expected of an agent.
Moving can be traumatic; Suzanne is able to successfully help the seller through the process.
Suzanne is a people person who make everyone feel comfortable.
Because of her attention to detail, the sale of our home went smoothly.
I will highly recommend Century 21 because of Suzannes well honed skills and performance. She is the perfect agent.
Mary Healey Sedutto, Alexandria, VA and, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne is exemplary - knowledgeable, professional and hihgly personable. She goes the extra mile to make sure all your needs and concerns are addressed.
John and Ellen Chappell, Oriental, NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne has a great understanding of the local market including service providers. Over the years we often would ask for referrals for things like power washing, roof inspection etc. She sold our neighbors home which is identical to ours at a price point way above our expectations. We consider not only a great agent but a good friend.
Dorothy Lord Arapahoe, NC, a seller from Arapahoe, NC
she gets the highest recommendation from me.
Patrick Favinger, Merritt, NC, a buyer from Merritt, NC
Cannot speak too highly of Suzanne! She is totally professional and you are not treated as a transaction but rather a a person. We have bought many houses over the years and rarely have I found he level of community knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone.
Suzanne Gwaltney brought comprehensive knowledge of the local real estate , sensitivity, professionalism, and objectivity to her work with us, for which we are appreciative.
We feel lucky to have had Suzanne Gwaltney as our realtor and would highly recommend her to anyone who thinks they might like to settle in the area. She is the best!
Kathy E, Oriental, NC and Orinda, CA, a seller from Oriental, NC
I have buying and selling experience with other local agents and Suzanne Gwaltney, at Century 21/Sail Loft Realty, has always been steady, considerate and fair to and with her clients.
Ray & Mary Ann Reilly - Pamlico County, a seller from Grantsboro, NC
The Real Estate process is a contract between seller/ buyer and Realtor. Stress can be insurmountable and questions arise throughout. We never felt this process was a business transaction but, Suzanne was there to advise and keep the focus on what we wanted.
Suzanne and the Sail Loft team gave us a professional product that made us proud. The photos were of outstanding quality that helped the sale.
We are happy with the final outcome and consider Suzanne and the whole Sail Loft team a Blessing in our lives!
She was and is a wonderful individual to work with, know and great to have on your side. I would recommend her to anyone who was looking to buy or sale. Thank you again Suzanne for getting us a great deal on our forever home.
Norm and PEggy Dunfee. Raleigh Nc, a seller from Oriental, NC
She is an excellent agent. She loves what she does. She loves meeting and working with people. The end result is gets the job done!
If you want someone who genuinely cares then Suzanne is who you need. She is not only professional but extremely helpful with navigating all the little and big details of selling your home.
Alice G Underhill, New Bern , NC, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne was simply FANTASTIC! She made the whole process run smoothly!
Thank you for this opportunity to make these comments!
Jackie and Robert Austin, a seller from Arapahoe, NC
Suzanne Gwaltney has acted for us on a number of transactions. Her work ethic is second to none. Her knowledge of the local area adds to the experience. We moved here from the U.K. and needed a person we could trust and rely on to work with us from a distance. Every request was met with a pleasant approachable manner.
How refreshing to find a realtor in this world who truly cares about how the client is feeling through the whole transaction. Suzanne even followed up with us after all our sales and purchases to see that all was to our satisfaction.
We cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. They say it takes a village and what a village Sailloft Realty is!
Ken VanHook, Oriental, NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne really went the extra mile for us. We could not be happier with her service. She went through all of the hurdles we encountered with us with no complaints.
Joan Fromm, Edgewater park, NJ, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne did a great job. Very helpful and understanding of my situation. THANK YOU, Suzanne.
Robin & Wayne, Oriental, NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne was fabulous at every level of our purchase process!
Everyone at the office was helpful, friendly and wonderful in every aspect!
We've already suggested Suzanne and the entire Century 21 staff to others who are considering the move to Oriental.
Keith Langlois, Raleigh, NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne was fantastic in helping us with the purchase of our second home. Suzannes knowledge of the area was a major factor in us deciding on the area and house.
I am looking forward to working with Suzanne in the future and highly recommend her services to anyone looking to purchase real estate in the market she covers.
Kim Schroader, formerly Hedgesville WV,, a buyer from Oriental, NC
To iterate: I have dealt with many agents as a property investor as well as having owned several homes. This is by far the best experience all around. Suzanne listened, understood, committed, and accomplished, tackling all challenges along the way leading to a perfect outcome for us. Thank you, Suzanne, for providing the critical link in make our dream home a possibility.
Dave & Janet Spiewak Palm Coast, FL, a seller from Oriental, NC
The only thing we would do differently is finding Suzanne sooner!
William and Maija Funk, Waxhaw, NC, a seller from Merritt, NC
Suzanne was meticulous about representing our property in multiple media. Her energy, knowledge and persistence in promoting our property was always present. We would recommend her to anyone who plans to sell their property.
Theresa and Al Cardillo Tucson Arizona, a seller from Arapahoe, NC
In working with Suzanne Gwaltney in a previous home purchase, she was the only agent/broker we wanted and trusted.
Suzanne Gwaltney marketed our home in multiple publications and online sites. I do not believe we have ever had the kind of coverage from any other realtor.
The whole team at Sail/Loft Realty were a pleasure to work with.
Overall, our experience with Suzanne Gwaltney and Sail/Loft Realty was stress-free! That in and of itself says it all.
The best part of all is that we became friends. We couldn't ask for a better experience.
Peter Krause, Durham NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Oriental is an active and constantly changing real estate market. After receiving several different recommendations and speaking to a variety of residents, one name kept coming up, Suzanne and Larry Gwaltney of Sail/Loft Realty. We initially decided to investigate renting long term to see if we liked the area enough to buy, and Suzanne was completely on board with that and showed us several nice properties in the Village of Oriental. But, the more we thought about it, the more we knew we wanted the ability to become more of a part of the community. We had an idea what we wanted, but Suzanne pulled out all the stops to make it work for us. Very pleased with her competency, clarity and responsiveness and never felt compromised by her dual-agency (she represented the seller, too) during the whole process. To top it all off, ten days after our initial offer to purchase was accepted, Hurricane Florence struck, doing significant damage to her own residence and to many of the properties in and around Oriental. Thankfully, our property emerged unscathed (recent construction) and she did everything seamlessly to facilitate our inspections and closing. We were pleased with her local recommendations for lawyer/surveyor/home inspection/pest inspection and service providers. Since closing eight weeks ago, weve spent some part of five weeks here, as a matter of fact, writing this overlooking the Neuse River from our upstairs porch. Thank you, Suzanne and Century 21 Sail/Loft Realty!
Matthew and Susan Veberes, Merritt, N.C., a buyer from Merritt, NC
Recommended by a business associate, we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of time and effort Suzanne Gwaltney put forth to ease any of our concerns regarding our purchase choice. She went above and beyond "being there" for us in answering our questions and taking action on our behalf. Taking into consideration the fact that she was in the thick of hurricane Florence herself, she still did her job with exceptional professionalism.
Suzanne Gwaltney is an OUTSTANDING agent! We moved across 3 states to a state where we had no friends or family members. With Suzanne she eased our anxiety and made us feel welcomed into the new state and local community. She was always transparent in the process and gave us valuable advice on getting started in our new community.
Suzanne Gwaltney is one of the best realtors we've ever had! We would recommend her to anyone!
We called Suzanne Gwaltney after seeing a Century 21 listing online. She listened as we talked about what we did and did not like about that property. We had told her that we really liked the condominium complex where we were currently renting, but that the unit was too small. When a larger unit became available, Suzanne texted us before it even appeared on the MLS.
After viewing the unit, we knew it was the right choice. Suzanne helped us negotiate a closing date for a month later, worked to get us an allowance to fix two cabinet doors that needed repair, and negotiated a reserve to cover any assessments that might be made to condo homeowners due to Hurricane Florence damage. She was prompt and tried to seek closure on all three issues.
Continually Suzanne has been a source for finding people to do a bit of renovation work on the unit, and at closing again offered to be a resource for us as we 'fit in' to the community. We have appreciated her professional and prompt response and action as we proceeded with this sale.
Michael/Ann Brill Merritt, NC, a buyer from Merritt, NC
Suzanne Gwaltney is a super broker. She kept us informed on every process. She was great helping us get local contractors to do the inspections and so on. Suzanne has treated us as if she has known us all her life. Just a great person who goes out of the way to make things easier for you.
David H., Minnesott Beach, NC, a buyer from Arapahoe, NC
Suzanne was the epitome of professionalism from start to finish! From the beginning she made it feel like we were working with a friend and she stayed with us through the entire process. Buying a house can be a stressful process, but Suzanne made it simple. Thank-you to Suzanne Gwaltney and everyone at CENTURY 21 Sail/Loft Realty for their help and guidance during this adventure! 2018
home was listed for 3 years with prior local realtors. We wish we had listed earlier or from day one with Suzanne. She knows her market is detail oriented and an absolute delight to deal with. Direct in what needs to be accomplished to get the property sold.
FABULOUS agency super staff that exemplifies professionalization.
We could not be happier and feel with have made friends for life.
Suzanne is extremely knowledgeable about the area and market. She actually pushed us to raise our asking price and we had an offer in 6 days! See was positive about marketing the home and genuinely excited to see the improvements we made to ready the house for market. I would recommend her to anyone who is ready to buy or sell in the Oriental area. 2018
Alfred and Theresa , Minnesott Beach NC, a buyer from Arapahoe, NC
Moves are difficult. Travelling 2500 miles to a state we have never set foot in was even more challenging. Due to Suzanne Gwaltney's expertise, patience, and knowledge, the move went off without a hitch. From the first initial phone conversation to closing, she was there for us. Her staff also were professional and efficient. Since moving in to our new home, Suzanne continues to help us with recommendations as we need them. We are so happy we found her. 2018
Nancy & Fred Karl - 31 Spicers Creek, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne's positive attitude throughout the selling process of our property
was very, helpful for it took quite a few years to sell our home and it was
discouraging at times. Also, we appreciated the advertising that was done
throughout the selling process for which Suzanne was responsible.
Thank you Suzanne for your encouragement during the time our house was on
the market and for all that you did to bring about the sale of our home. You are
truly a responsible realtor and have been a delight to work with.
2018
B. Mills, Williamston, N.C. , a buyer from Oriental, NC
Respected our wants and needs. Contacted us when something became available she thought we would like. Answered all our questions. Provided information on local providers for services 2018
Kevin Kokes , Minnesott Beach, a buyer from Arapahoe, NC
Suzanne was a pleasure to work with. Would recommend without hesitation. 2018
Mary White, Pamlico County, N C, a seller from Merritt, NC
Suzanne s reputation in the community was good, and having known her personally for many years made our decision easy. 2017
John Malejan Wilmington, NC, a seller from Oriental, NC
Could not be more satisfied
Suzanne was pleasant and easy to talk during this whole process. We would highly recommend her to others.
Very understanding during an emotional time. 2017
Bill Kirsch, New Bern, NC, a buyer from New Bern, NC
Houses in our area hadn't sold in 5 to 10 years. Our house was sold 36 HOURS after the 'For Sale' sign was posted. Yes - 36 hours!
We had a serious problem since the deal required closing in 5 weeks. We needed to find a rental house FAST .. She was able to get us a good deal in time. It was no easy task.
Following that she worked hard to help us locate and negotiate our final purchase of our next house 30 miles from her home office. 2017

Chris Barrett Sparta NC, a buyer from Arapahoe, NC
Thanks for everything 2017
Charlene Barbour, Durham, NC, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne Gwaltney represents her clients in the most professional way possible. She is a genuinely kind and knowledgeable professional. I recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling their home or property. 2017
Susan Hamilton Arapahoe, NC, a seller from Arapahoe, NC
Suzanne was knowledgeable in this location of my home. She is flexible and knows lots of people in this area when you need advise.
i liked Suzanne and I would use her again.
I liked the broad spectrum that my house was advertised in, I have no negative remarks, everything was positive.
Everyone was polite and treated you kindly on the phone. 2017
Suzanne was able to sell our house TWO DAYS after the sign went up. Houses in our neighborhood hadn't sold in about 10 years. She did it in two days! 2017
Barry Thomas, Raleigh, NC, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Suzanne worked to get my wife and I property that was perfect for us to build our retirement home. Her and Larry were helpful before, during, and have been a large help to us since the sell with information of the area.
I would definitely suggest that anyone looking for help locating to the Oriental and adjacent area, to contact Suzanne and Larry. 2017
Suzanne Gwaltney was outstanding in listening carefully to my needs, and they weren't that simple or fully developed when we first spoke. She was extremely helpful in providing excellent information regarding the pros and cons of living within town limits or just outside. She backed up the information by showing me excellent examples of both types of properties, which was critical in the process of finally choosing to buy within town limits. Her local knowledge of the properties involved was more than impressive and she even had qualitative comments on the contractors and craftsmen involved in the construction of most of them.
My situation in selling my home in Delaware got a little complicated resulting in my closing in Delaware being delayed. This obviously affected the purchase in Oriental but Suzanne made a tricky situation seamless and trouble free by negotiating an occupation before settlement deal with the sellers. I thought my situation was going to be a real hassle but Suzanne just arranged everything with a reassuring " don't worry - it happens -you're taken care of".
The word, "knowledgeable" doesn't begin to describe Suzanne's knowledge of the market and applying it to your needs.
One of Suzanne's new associates, Chris Bensabat, accompanied us on the last tour of four or five properties and his construction experience and knowledge were extremely valuable in choosing the property eventually purchased. We had critical discussions on materials, techniques and developing a budget for completing needed improvements on the property which I bought. This information was extremely valuable in coming up with the purchase offer amount. On top of all of that, he has all the great professional and personal qualities you would expect from Sail Loft Realty.
There doesn't seem to be a "wrinkle" that Suzanne can't iron out with grace, charm and professionalism. 2017
Suzanne Gwaltney did an exceptional job for us. We made several trips to the area from out of state and Suzanne was always gracious with our many questions throughout the process of researching the area, looking at homes, providing us information on insurance and other contacts, guiding through the purchasing and closing process. I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone buying or selling and would utilize her services myself if needed in the future. Suzanne is knowledgeable, professional, kind and personable. 2016
Suzanne was highly recommended on other 3rd party websites. I can now confirm all of the positive feedback I received before engaging Suzanne!
Could not have asked for a better, more professional agent! 2016
Chad Ackner New Betn, NC, a buyer from New Bern, NC
From the first correspondence I had with Suzanne, her professionalism, knowledge of the area and experience were evident. She was more than accommodating, friendly and helpful. She understood exactly what my family was looking for and was diligent in her persuit for our new home.
I intend to contact Suzanne again for future endeavors. 2016
Ann Marie and Allen Jeffrey Weiss, USVI, a buyer from Oriental, NC
Because my husband and I lived so far away from the areas we were looking in, and because of the nature of our own professional obligations, we were pressed for time, and frequently needed (or wanted) a great deal of work from Suzanne Gwaltney, and from her firm. Often on short notice, and at inconvenient times. Because we are also both detail oriented, and hands on, we also wanted some things outside of the usual parameters of property hunting. This firm always came through.
My husband and I had been looking to purchase property, for eventual relocation to North Once, for over a year before we met Suzanne Gwaltney. We had been looking in several distinct geographical areas, and had to various extents, worked with, I believe, nine or ten Real Estate Agents in various parts of North and South Carolina. We are both attorneys, with in excess of thirty years of professional experience (including the field of Real Estate, albeit not in the Carolinas)
Suzanne Gwaltney is, without question, the finest professional in her field that either of us have worked with. 2016
Ann Marie Rost, St. Thomas, USVI, a buyer from Havelock, NC
Both my husband and I are attorneys, both with over thirty years of professional experience. As such, we have dealt with countless other Real Estate firms and individuals in the same line of work as Suzanne Gwaltney - although neither of us had any prior experience in North Carolina. Having spent six months working with Ms. Gwaltney, we are both of the opinion that she is the finest professional in this field that either of us have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Her firm is equally excellent. And I should also note that neither of us are easy people to deal with, both being 'type A" people.
Ms. Gwaltney's excellence is not simply her thorough professional knowledge of her market, but also her ability to listen, to discern what her clients want and need (often more clearly than the clients, in our case), her skill at negotiation, but also her unflinching honesty - without ever giving offense. Not only did this profession consistently provide invaluable advice and guidance, she did so - on more than one occasion - in direct opposition to her own economic interests. She is a consumate professional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Her care, advice and good counsel did not end when both sales were over - she has gone out of her way to assist us in making a home in North Carolina.
Her firm - every member that we met - is equally excellent. This is, truly, and extraordinary team. Lest whoever may read this think me prone to gushing, I should perhaps conclude with the facts that, prior to having worked with Ms. Gwaltney I did NOT have a positive opinion of Real Estate Agents or firms in general. Nor am I easily impressed.And I have not, in thirty years, ever taken the time to write a 'review', so to speak, of any other professional.
Quite simply, if you are consdering a move to this part of the world, you cannot do better than to work with this woman and with her firm.
Very pleased - we have done business for 22 years or more with this realty and were always pleased & satisfied in every way!!
Top notch agent! 2016
Carla Spencer Bayboro NC, a seller from Arapahoe, NC
I give my highest recommendation to Suzanne Gwaltney and Century 21 Sail Loft Realty. The personal and expert service I experienced during the sell of my home was excellent. I will not hesitate to call them in the future for any real estate needs my family may have. 2016
I walked into Sailloft Realty and was greeted by Suzanne. She was so helpful from the start. She offered me maps, gave me driving instructions to see homes that fit into my desires and set up a time that she could meet me and my husband to look at homes.
Suzanne knows her community so well, She advised us on a loan officer, a home inspector, and an attorney all of whom have been most professional and thourough.
Suzanne's office got us located into a rental cottage while our home was in escrow. Everyone worked together to make certain our home purchase and relocation went smoothly.
My husband mentioned to me this morning that Suzanne has become more than a real estate agent, she has become a valued friend in our new town. And all of that in just a month. I will strongly recommend Suzanne to my family and friends. 2016

Suzanne was always available when i needed to speak to her,also her local knowledge was extremely important when it came down to making all the necessary decisions required for buying a home.I would highly recommend Suzanne for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Oriental NC area! 2016
We were more than satisfied with Suzanne's knowledge, expertise and understanding. She found us the perfect house our 1st visit. She has been available throughout and has been an excellent resource about the process and area. I don't know what we would have done without her!
While looking for a home in the Oriental NC area, we needed to find someone with local knowledge and who could listen to our concerns and provide us with information that was accurate and allowed us to make the correct decision. Suzanne was up to this task, she was friendly and on point and timely with delivering information. She was a great listener and watched our reactions to each property we looked at which helped us navigate through the different options. Through this process we were able to collect the necessary information to make an informed decision. Towards the end, Suzanne really was a friend more than an agent and someone we could trust. 2015
John and Lonnegren Heath, Oriental, NC, a seller from Oriental, NC
I would highly recommend Suzanne Gwaltney as their real estate agent to anyone. She did an excellent job in all aspects of getting our house sold. Everyone on the staff at Sail/Loft Realty is professional. The secretary/office workers are knowledgeable also and can get you answers, paperwork, and send you headed in the right direction. 2015
The Ellers, Oriental, NC, a seller from Oriental, NC
Suzanne Gwaltney helped us sell our house in a challenging time and market. She used all website presences that single family homes are marketed on. We were pleased with the presentation of our home on these websites. Pricing the home to sell was one of our most difficult tasks in selling the house in a timely manner. Suzanne was professional and helpful in advising us in pricing our home. She knows the Oriental real estate market well. In a buyers market such as our home sold in, Suzanne was understanding and helpful during our selling phase (offer to purchase, due diligence, and settlement). We highly recommend Suzanne Gwaltney and the efficient and helpful agents and staff of SailLoft Century 21 in Oriental, NC. 2015
