I always appreciate his knowledge and patience as I work through things. I highly recommend him. Carolyn F., purchased a custom home in Castle Hayne, NC

We have worked with Russ multiple times in the past, and he most recently helped us close on our dream house in January 2022! He is the most knowledgeable and attentive realtor that we have ever worked with, and we now refer him to all of our friends and family. Thank you so much for all you have done for us Russ, you are truly appreciated! Tim & Carrie W, purchased a single family home in Wilmington

Russ May proved to be one of the best realtors I have had the good fortune to work with. His personal attention to each and every detail in the recent sale of my home stands out as a key reason why I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a dependable, hard working, thorough and all around exceptional realtor. Russ would always do every transaction in person, and he made sure that I understood everything that I was reading, and/or signing. The selling of my home went very smoothly, and I definitely plan on working with Russ in my search for a new house! Stephany P., sold a single family home in Wilmington, NC

Very professional, goes the extra mile. Would be available to let service people in the home to do needed repairs. Worked with buyers mortgage company to facilitate completion of the closing. Very knowledgeable about housing market pricing. Truly a 5 star experience. Kazem Y, sold a townhome in Wilmington, NC

Russ was very patient as we asked to see many houses before we even got our house listed. We got a full price offer on our house the first month. Not long after we had a contract on our home my husband died, leaving me alone to make many decisions. Russ was there to advise me through some difficult decisions pertaining to the buyer. Russ is a very professional Realtor. Jimmy W., sold a home in Wilmington, NC

After having purchased my home with the help of Russ May, I decided to use his expertise to sell that home. He is very honest and has years of experience in real estate. He is very “no nonsense” and gives great advice. He definitely works for his clients. If I had been in the market to purchase a  new home in the Wilmington area I am sure he would have been able to help me find the perfect place. Thanks for all your help Russ. If you’re looking for an agent, give him a call! Lori C., sold a home in Wilmington

I highly recommend Russ if you are looking to purchase a new property. My wife and I were very fortunate to cross paths with Russ when we were in Wilmington on vacation and made the decision we wanted to relocate from New England. Russ went above and beyond helping us find an ideal home for our young family. When my wife and I flew into Wilmington to look at houses for the weekend, Russ picked us up at the airport and had a meticulous plan laid out to ensure we were able to get into all the houses we wanted to see over a 2 day stretch. No small feat! His knowledge of the Wilmington real estate market as well as regulations and laws were instrumental in helping us make the right decision for our family. Throughout the entire purchasing process, Russ exhibited tremendous patience, responded quickly to our inquires, and showed a genuine interest in making sure our all needs were met. Thank you Russ. Ronan & Kim D., Bought a single family home in Wilmington.

Russ has artfully assisted us in making two home purchases here in Wilmington. He is knowledgeable, diligent and patient. He is quick to respond to our questions or concerns, and he is a very trustworthy, professional realtor. Russ is a pleasure to work with, and we would utilize him again in the  future should we ever decide to buy/sell in the Wilmington area. Brian & Debbie C., Bought a single family home in Wilmington.

We contacted Russ May based on a recommendation from a friend whom he had helped with both buying and selling property. We are so glad that we did! Our property was very unique in extremely rural Pender County. Because of its uniqueness, it showed only about half a dozen times, but one of those  showings resulted in a sale during the slowest time of year. I truly believe that was a result of Russ's targeted marketing strategies. Russ helped us set an asking price that was reasonable and profitable. He was very professional in the way he handled our listing all through the process, and we always felt we could trust him. We highly recommend Russ May for your real estate needs. Steve & Cindy R., Sold a single family home in Pender County

My interactions/relationship with Russ May has been one of the best things to happen in many years. Russ has patiently waited on me to make a home purchase for several years, as well as sell my home. He has never balked at making appointments for me, no matter the location (and some have been  fairly far from Wilmington). He has offered not only sound advice, but since he has paid attention to me and my likes and dislikes, he has been able to point out things that may not have "sat well" with me had I made the purchase. I am actually sad that we will no longer go on these sight-seeing excursions because I found my perfect home in my perfect community. And I have Russ May to thank for that. Teresa S., bought a home in Wallace, NC

Russ May was Awesome! I moved across the country from Arizona to NC. I had never been to NC and relied on Russ to help me find my Forever Home. Russ went above and beyond traveling up and down the coastline for me. We found a House and purchased sight unseen. I couldn't be happier with Russ, and my  new home by the beach. Thank you for everything you did for us! Jessie T., bought a home in Calabash

We moved to the Wilmington, North Carolina area from Maryland. We did not know Russ before we decided to look for real estate in NC. Actually, we did not know any REALTOR® in NC. We looked online and were fortunate to find Russ. He was quick to understand our needs and only showed us properties that met those needs. He was also quick to prove his knowledge about the real estate market for the area he serves. He did not waste our time as we drove from Maryland periodically for a very short hotel stay in NC to preview homes with him. Even though we did our own online research of homes, he was able to successfully find other neighborhoods that he thought would appeal to us. From the time we first met Russ through closing, he was professional, thought outside the box and was attentive. Ultimately, with Russ' help, we found our perfect home. Frank & Anita M. Bought a Single Family home in 2017 in Leland, NC.

Russ May inspired confidence throughout the process with masterful command of every aspect, and made us sure our needs mattered to him. I'll engage him again for my next real estate transaction. Keith & Sally A. Sold a Condo home in 2016 in Wilmington, NC.

Russ is a consummate professional and has great knowledge of the Wilmington real estate market. He is extremely responsive and went above and beyond to show us numerous homes and advise us during the home purchase negotiations. Russ made what can be a stressful process go very smoothly. Thank you Russ!! Eric & Janet R. Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Wilmington, NC.

Russ is knowledgeable and patient. He listened carefully to our requirements for our new home and presented several different communities. With the help of Russ, we found a community and builder and have built our dream home. We relocated from Virginia, so during the building process, Russ sent pictures and continued to support us with the process. We could not have been happier with the professionalism and support Russ provided. We highly recommend him. Chuck & Michelle S. Bought a home in 2016 in Leland, NC.

I listed my home with Russ in July 2016 and received 3 offers within 48 hours. Because Russ was so knowledgeable and helpful, my closing was within 30 days. He is totally trustworthy, professional, thorough and always had my best interests in mind. This was especially helpful to me because, at the time, I was living in New Jersey and my home was in North Carolina. Russ puts his clients first and if you want an agent that knows the area, you can count on him. Doris R. Sold a Single Family home in 2016 in Wilmington, NC.

I have listed three properties over the past 10 years with Russ, the most recent my primary residence. In every case Russ provided professional, friendly, and effective service. I have referred Russ to acquaintances in the past and have gotten only praise for the service he provided to them. Jim Q. Sold a Single Family home in 2016 in Wilmington, NC.

After having my property on the market for over a year, I contracted with Russ May through a referral from a friend. Russ adjusted the price to a more realistic level, took new photos and within a short time I had a buyer. I ended up getting more for the unit than any other sale. I could not be happier with his professionalism and easy going manner. I would highly recommend him. He is an excellent photographer also. Charlie J. Sold a Condo home in Wilmington, NC.
