About Gary Traflet

As a lifelong North Carolinian, Gary has been fortunate enough to have lived in several cities throughout the state from the mountains to the coast. Prior to real estate, his career was in big box retail store management. Upon graduating from East Carolina University, he joined Wal-Mart stores and was transferred to Elkin, NC. Soon after he worked in Hickory, NC and later became the store manager in Taylorsville, NC. After successfully converting that store into a supercenter, he took an opportunity to join Target stores and relocated to Jacksonville, NC and then on to Wilmington.He still remembers his first house hunting trip that happened in late October. His wife and him took some time to walk down to the beach only to see everyone in their bathing suits enjoying the beautiful weather. He felt like they had switched seasons as back home the leaves had already turned, and winter was well on its way. He remembers thinking to himself "I could sure get used to this place!"After a successful career in retail and collaborating with people to build and ensure customer satisfaction, real estate became a natural fit for him. He thinks the best part of real estate is that he can exclusively focus on the needs of his client. He strives to form a partnership where he listens to his client's desires and work to anticipate their needs. The best way to make this happen is to simply put himself into their shoes.His wife is a teacher at Masonboro Elementary school, and they have two daughters Caroline and Lauren. Lauren is an athletic trainer at Carolina Family Practice & Sports Medicine in Holly Springs, NC and Caroline has graduated and followed in her mother's footsteps as a 1st grade teacher here in Wilmington at Bradley Creek Elementary. He is very in tune with school related issues and always advise buyers to make this a major part of their decision-making process. Resale values will fluctuate from one district to another as parents strive to keep their children in the school system that they feel most comfortable with.Now that you have read about him, he looks forward to having the opportunity to get to know more about his potential client. Contact him today so that they can get started!

Gary exceeded our expectations with the sale of our home. We needed a quick turnaround and he delivered. Gary has a hands on approach, actively participating in each stage of the sale. From looking under sinks to climbing in attics, he was always by our side helping to resolve any obstacle. He showed sensitivity to our situation and our individual needs. He never hesitated to take the time to communicate the same information to each of us individually. It is very obvious that Gary loves what he does and cares deeply about going above and beyond for his clients. The guidance and support he showed thru the process was top notch. His strong negotiation skills ensured we received the best deal possible. We truly could not have asked for a better experience.

Gary was fantastic! He knew the local market and helped us understand the impact of considering different types of properties. He was confidently able to give us a number where we would like end up in negotiations and he was spot on. He offered service up and above our expectations and his communication through the process made sure we knew exactly what we needed to know exactly when we needed it.

Gary did an outstanding job helping me to not only understand the market, but showed me places within my guidelines and interestsaEUR|His attention to detail when showing me potential homes helped me find the right fit. He communicates through every step of the process and had recommendations for the inspector to the lawyer. Hes truly a diamond in the rough world of real estate.

Gary was recommended from a work colleague, and we could not be happier with our experience. Gary was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He took the time to know us and our needs to narrow the search field. He even visited homes and video chatted with us when we were unable to be there in person. He is extremely responsive and knowledgeable and will continue to be a resource for us in the future. One time I asked him about fast growing bushes for a natural privacy border, and he sent me the information immediately! With his vast experience, he pointed out areas that we were unfamiliar with especially since we have not bought a house in over 20 years. He continues to check in with us after the closing. Gary goes above and beyond any realtor we have worked with, and we consider him a friend as well as a realtor. We highly recommend using him!
