Kirk Pugh, Broker/Realtor, shares what he loves about the 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom coastal-style home at 207 Salt Marsh Lane in the gated community of Pecan Grove Plantation.

Which room do you love most?

The foodie in me loves this kitchen! It seems like there are endless feet of counter space, and the layout is a gourmet's dream. If you have more than one cook in the family, there is plenty of room in this bright kitchen for everyone to do their thing. The five-burner stove is awesome, and the stainless appliances are top-of-the-line. There are tons of floor to ceiling cupboards (and look at that crown moulding!) so storage of your gourmet toys and clever appliances will never be a problem. I could spend hours in this kitchen, doing my happy thing.

Handy Checklist of Questions for Your Agent
How old is the roof?

This is one of the most important things to ask your real estate agent. The price of asphalt roofing replacement is extremely pricey and is more common in beach towns like Wilmington.

Meet Broker/Realtor Ryan Naylor, the youngest member of the KBT Realty Group team, with seven month on the job, after passing his North Carolina state real estate exam on the first try. Ryan has already had success in real estate, with showings and closings.

Why real estate? As Ryan says, real estate is pretty much in the family: his mother is a Realtor, currently doing inside sales at KBT Realty; his father was a Wall Street commercial lender; Kirk Pugh, Ryan's step father, is also his Broker-in-Charge; and, his grandfather is a producing agent.

As a Millennial, the tech-friendly environment at Keller Williams is especially appealing. He sees the company rolling out new technology on a daily basis. The Kelle app puts tools at a seller's fingertips, and makes buyers' searches more efficient and focused. Ryan notes that technology can empower an agent with personalization and information that makes the best use of both real estate expertise and a clients' time.

What is unique about this property?

The Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors are gorgeous. They flow throughout the living area and hallways, and into the kitchen. The wainscoting and crown molding pull it all together.

The property is located in the heart of all the action. Mayfaire and Wrightsville Beach are just a short drive away. On a nice day, you can ride your bike to either place.
