A Family Real Estate Team

The Smith Group

A Family Real Estate Team

Serving Coastal North Carolina

The Smith Group is a family real estate team with Landmark Sotheby’s International Realty based in Surf City, North Carolina. Stephanie, Blake and Kyle Smith work with buyers, sellers, investors and relocating clients throughout Topsail Island, Hampstead, Sneads Ferry and surrounding communities in Pender and Onslow counties.

With 16 years of experience living on the coast, our family offers trusted, firsthand knowledge of the communities we serve. Our children have grown up here, giving us a deep connection to the coastal lifestyle, neighborhoods and local community.

With Stephanie’s husband deeply connected to Camp Lejeune, we also understand the unique needs of military families and the relocation process.

Whether you are buying, selling or relocating, our family is familiar with the opportunities and considerations that come with real estate in a coastal environment, from finding the right community to navigating the details of coastal homeownership.

Why Work With A Local Team?

Real estate is local by nature, but coastal real estate takes that one step further. Two properties only a few streets apart can have different flood considerations, water access, rental histories, neighborhood restrictions or insurance requirements. Having lived here for more than 16 years, we understand the questions that are worth asking. Just as importantly, we understand why people want to be here. Our approach combines that local perspective with straightforward communication, careful representation and the marketing resources of Landmark Sotheby’s International Realty.
Who We Work With
Buyers, Sellers, Investors, Relocation & Military
From first-time coastal buyers and relocating families to second-home purchasers and luxury clients, we help buyers understand both the home and the location. Our listing strategy focuses on positioning each property around the characteristics that make it different, supported by professional presentation, targeted marketing and broad exposure. We work with clients evaluating vacation homes and income-producing coastal properties, including properties with established rental histories. Whether you are moving to the area for work, lifestyle or a military assignment, our familiarity with the region allows us to help narrow the search based on the places and practical considerations that matter to you.
