Theresa Reese Broker

Hello! I would like to take a moment introduce myself. I have a deep and sentimental appreciation for homes, because I moved frequently as a kid, and now even more as a military wife.  It is such a treasure to find the place that fits just right, and I take great pride when I find it for others. My home is in the beautiful and unique city of Camden, NC.  It fits me just right: friendly, rustic, and peaceful. As you can probably tell, I am an avid equestrian and I have a passion for animals, especially rescues. 

Professionally, I have experience from the lending side of the real estate industry. I was previously a mortgage loan processor, managing home loans from the application all the way to closing. This strengthened my skills in communication and working my time efficiently. Having a Realtor® that thoroughly knows the loan process can be a valuable asset and relief when purchasing your home. I have been a real estate agent since 2016 and I love it!  Nothing is more satisfying then to meet people, get to know them, and find them the perfect match. I do not rush or push my clients, while at the same time I am open and honest.  I will tell you how it is and what to expect. 

I am licensed in Virginia and North Carolina, giving my clients a broader range of options for purchase, as well as access to two MLS systems to sell your home. I will expand to the OBX shortly!  Furthermore, I am honored to serve the military as they selflessly serve us.  I am married to an active duty member, as well as certified as a Military Relocation Professional  (MRP). This military wife understands your military life!  

I would be honored to meet you and your family and see what I can do to "move" you in the right direct for the next chapter of your life!
