Coldwell Banker Sloane Realty
Business Profile BY BRIAN WILNER
I
f you are looking for a real estate company with longevity in the southern Brunswick County area, Sloane Realty is your best bet. This family business, now in its third generation, has been the leader of real estate in the South Brunswick Islands since 1955, more than 65 years! In October of 1954 Ocean Isle Beach and the neighboring islands were devastated by Hurricane Hazel. The following year, George A. Sloane II and his wife, Willa Rae Sloane, decided to move onto the island and were the first full-time residents of Ocean Isle Beach. Shortly thereafter, they opened an oceanfront hotel where they lived and operated a real estate office. Eventually their children, George “Tripp” A. Sloane and Debbie Sloane-Smith, came on board. Today a 70-room oceanfront hotel (Ocean Isle Inn) stands where the original motel was, and the real estate team has grown to 25 agents located in the offices on the islands of Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach. In addition to Ocean Isle Inn and Coldwell Banker Sloane Realty, the family also owns and operates Sloane Realty Vacations and Jinx Creek Waterfront Grille. Their team of real estate agents are well integrated in the community and have lived there for many years. They can provide expert guidance on everything from the community HOAs and the local schools to the best areas for shopping, entertainment, fishing and surfing. They know you will love living here for the same reasons they do — the beach, parks, nature walks and quick access to larger communities like Myrtle
Beach and Wilmington. They want you to know, whether you are buying or selling, that you can trust their experienced team to guide you successfully through the process.
