Sherwood and Diane are without a doubt the best agents we have worked with in over 15 moves. They are knowledgeable, hardworking, and committed to meeting the needs of the client. They were focused, communicative, and supportive throughout the process of selling our home. Incredible team who we highly recommend!

Sherwood and Diane are the best. They went above and beyond to help us have the best experience selling our home. We felt very confident with their expertise and honesty. They deserve more than five stars.

Sherwood and Diane took the stress out of selling our home. The second they walked through our door they took care of us. The selling process went so quickly, we found our buyer in under two weeks. If we had questions or concerns they answered quickly and communicated well. I’d recommend them to anyone!

My husband and I were fortunate to have had the Strickland Group as our realtor. They stuck with us and listened to what was important for our family. We finally found our dream home and could not be more happy. Thank you, Diane and Sherwood! You both are examples of professionalism, experts in real estate, and good people.

It was such a pleasure working with Sherwood and Diane. Communication was easy, actions were prompt, and we felt very comfortable that we were getting the best advice. We were also impressed with their dedication as we were not always in the area and our house required extra attention to be ready for showings. Thanks!

Very professional and knowledgeable about the area and the local housing market. Sherwood is very personable and accommodating. He engenders my trust and complete confidence in his ability to meet my personal needs and interests with tireless energy and concern. I recommend Sherwood without reservation and would not hesitate to refer him to my closest relative or friend.

Sherwood Strickland and his wife Diane were a real power couple when it came to helping us buy and close our house in 2018. Diane’s extensive realtor knowledge and Sherwood’s background in construction and ability to point out any flaws or positives helped us go through with them as our realtors. They were incredibly helpful and made the process seem very easy for us first-time home buyers and we will keep in touch with them should we decide to move or sell in the future.

Diane and Sherwood Strickland exceeded expectations with the sale of our home! They provided personalized and tailored service throughout which made this one of the most pleasurable experiences. They provided expert market analysis, advice, and strong negotiating skills, and their keen insights led to a quick offer and subsequent sale. They worked flawlessly and seamlessly through all the technical aspects of the transaction which minimized any stress and kept everything on track and on time! Highly detail-oriented, extremely professional, and courteous! Highly recommended and would use them again for any future transactions!

Sherwood and Diane Strickland were outstanding. Their depth of knowledge, experience, and expertise shone through at each step of the transaction. They helped us buy and close remotely in North Carolina while still living in Massachusetts. We would not have been able to do this without their support and their willingness to go the extra mile. They also remain super helpful post-close – a time when a realtor can lose interest and walk away. Both Sherwood and Diane have remained engaged with us and have been willing to help even though the purchase is now complete. It has been a pleasure to deal with them, and I’d strongly recommend them to anyone wit...

Sherwood and Diane helped me with my recent home purchase. They were great at following through right to the end of the process. During the search process, Sherwood was always willing and able to show me numerous properties so I was guaranteed to find the perfect home. Once I found it, Diane and Sherwood both helped make sure I was happy with the purchase price and all the negotiating steps along the way. I think what really sets them apart is their local knowledge and expertise. Sherwood is a former contractor so his eye for detail and understanding of what needs to be fixed is invaluable. They also have someone on speed dial for any issue that may...

I had the pleasure of working with Sherwood and Diane Strickland as my realtors, and I cannot express enough how outstanding they were throughout the entire process. From start to finish, they exhibited the utmost professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge in the real estate industry. One of the aspects that truly impressed me about Sherwood and Diane was their exceptional level of professionalism. They conducted themselves with the utmost integrity and always maintained a high level of respect and courtesy. Their attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every step of the home-buying process was handled smoothly and efficiently. Not onl...

If you are considering a move to or from the Wilmington, NC area and buying or selling a house is part of the equation, there is simply no choice in my mind who your “go to” real estate professional should be and that is Sherwood and Dianne Strickland (Sherwood Strickland Group, Coldwell Banker Reality). Recently, my wife and I were planning a move to Wilmington after 35 years in Northern Virginia. One of our daughters lives in Raliegh and we have a few friends in Wilmington and generally started to really like the area. We did what I think a lot of other people do which is travel to the area on our own and try to figure out on our own where “landin...

We had a challenging close and the Strickland's handled with no loss of time or money for us.

Extremely professional! This team made house hunting easy.

We decided to sell our home of 26 years. After interviewing many realtors, we decided on Sherwood Strickland Group. Our house sold on the second day. Wow! Although the original buyers had second thoughts and backed out, the Stricklands had another offer on the table within days. This was my first time being involved in the selling of a house, and if you've ever sold a house you know there is a lot of paperwork. Diane and Sherwood were very patient and took me through each and every page. It was a challenging process for me, but the Stricklands got me through it. I highly recommend Sherwood Strickland Group. Diane and Sherwood Strickland, thank you f...

Working with Sherwood and Diane was truly one of our best real estate experiences. Attention to detail and ability to navigate unique situations was on point. They worked closely with us, making sure we to answer any questions we had. Such a seamless process with the Stricklands

Sherwood, and Ginny You were blindly recommended to us by another agent that we had very limited contact with. For us, entering into a market that we had no previous experience with was a concerning, and stressful endeavor.. our stringent time frame restrictions, presented an additional challenge. We were definitely referred to the right people. Sherwood’s team, and especially Ginny Richards had us covered from the start. Ginny’s hard work, and attentiveness helped us avoid potential problems, as she showed us a wide range of properties. Your help, expertise, and persistence secured the perfect property for us. We would highly recommend the Sherwood...

All around amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better team. They helped me buy my home in 2017 and then helped sell it this year. They made both processes easy and worry free. 10 out of 10 experience.

Extremely helpful and informative as well as knowledgable and quick to respond to any questions. Due to their advice and diligent effort my home was sold within 24 hours of being on the market. Would recommend their service to anyone interested in seamless, hassle free and professional work.

William Schmieder 6 reviews • 0 photos starstarstarstarstar 29 weeks ago Diane and Sherwood are super to work with and we could not be more pleased with their expertise and support. We began the housing search with a pre visit conversation with Sherwood to review our needs and provide insights into the Wilmington market. Upon arrival, Diane had arranged viewings in several different neighborhoods and price points. Thanks to their contacts and knowledge of the market we were able to fine tune the search on the move; Sherwood and Diane deleted and added viewings as needed, maximizing our time and adding to the multi day experience. On the margins, th...

Diane and Sherwood were incredibly professional to work with throughout our sale. They helped us with a complex property and were easily accessible by phone or email. I was living abroad throughout the experience and they went the extra mile to be available at odd hours and helped to negotiate all the complications that arose from halfway across the world. Both are eminent professionals who I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends or family.

We work in Real Estate and Construction—that’s how we know what a difference Professional representation makes, and why we asked Sherwood and Diane to negotiate for us when buying our personal home. They did not disappoint! We’d recommend them for anyone who wants a Realtor team who listens, follows up, problem solves, and stays committed to the finish line with truth and decency, no matter the circumstances or challenges.

Diane and Sherwood are excellent! They make you feel like family immediately! Continually, they go above and beyond our expectations. They were an intricate part of our cross country move. Helping make each step (and even steps we didn't think about) much smoother. They are both the absolute best source of information for the local area and true masters in their art!

I wouldn’t trust anyone except Sherwood and Diane to help sell our house. They are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and it shows. Highly recommend.

I have used Diane and Sherwood in both buying and selling properties. Their knowledge of the area and the market, as well as their professionalism, was bar none. If I ever had any concerns or questions, they were always close at hand. Their reassuring and positive attitudes were much appreciated, and certainly made the process much less stressful. I would use them again without question.

We've worked with Sherwood and Diane Strickland on multiple property purchases. A few things to point out: 1. You know within the first minute of working with them they have the client's best interests in mind. They work tirelessly to ensure that their clients are happy and well taken care of. 2. They know the market, the neighborhoods, other realtors in the process and the very best way to approach a property purchase or sale. Their market insight, and honest assessments, is invaluable. Their negotiation skills are outstanding. 3. They are patient. If the perfect property is not available, they will wait with you until the right one comes on the...

It was absolutely a great experience working with Diane and Sherwood. Their professionalism was top notch. Also very friendly, very honest about all that needed to be dealt with. Up front, very personable. We would not hesitate to recommend or work with them again. What was really interesting and very welcoming was how they went out of their way to accommodate us in whatever we needed or wanted. Their advise worked well. Working with them truly surpassed our expectations. While other homes were still on the Market with comparable pricing ours sold extremely quickly.

I highly recommend working with Diane and Sherwood. They provide incredible service, communication, and go above and beyond in their professionalism.

I had talked to a couple of agents about selling my house prior to calling Sherwood that didn't give much input and appeared to be pushing for a quick sell at a low value. I met with Sherwood and Diane and immediately felt better about the process. Together we got a plan together for moving forward and did so. I was very happy with the results and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Sherwood and Diane are so easy to work with and always available to discuss any concerns or issues you might be having. They know real estate like nothing else so we had complete confidence they were the right match for us. This was the second time we used them for our transactions. And we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

We recently moved to North Carolina from New Jersey. In spite of the stress of moving from one state to another, my husband and I were fortunate to meet Sherwood & Diane Strickland, realtors who helped my daughter & son-in-law find their home. When we finally met them, we found them to be a very personable and engaging couple. First, they got an idea of what we were looking for in a home. They then set up a number of homes to show us. Sherwood has a keen eye for detail and he let us know all the positives and negatives of each home. Diane’s organizational skills are to be commended. She walked and talked us through the maze of paperwork involved, an...

Excellent knowledge, attention, patience, and guidance. As buyers, we are happy we found them.

What can I say? Sherwood, Diane, and their team are simply the best...better than all the rest! They have now helped us buy three houses and sell two in the past six years (no, we're not flippers). They truly make you feel like you are their only client. They care about the person first and foremost. Add to that their exceptional skill in the real estate industry and your home buying/selling experience will exceptional as well. Thanks y'all!!

The Sherwood Strickland team is the best real estate experience I’ve ever had. They sold both of my condos in under a week and had multiple offers on each property. More importantly, they netted me more money than I expected or had hoped for. Funny, but another agent wanted me to list them for $15,000 less. These guys are the best!

Our agent Trinity Wright and the entire Sherwood Strickland Group were awesome to work with throughout the home buying process. There were several snags and frustrations from other parties, but Trinity and the team solved problems and got results.

Diane and Sherwood were amazing! They truly cared, and knew what we were looking for. As a first time home buyer, we couldn't have asked for better realtors to help us with this special time. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back for later home purchases!

Sherwood and Diane were incredibly helpful to work with to sell our home. Professional and organized, they helped us work through all the details to sell our home. Their marketing plan and network connections were terrific, identifying potential buyers during the “coming soon” period and helped us close the sale in less than 6 weeks from the listing date. I realize it’s not always this easy to sell a home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor. They truly know the market and I would highly recommend them!

Diane and Sherwood are top tier in their industry. The entire process felt almost luxurious and was as low stress as possible. They are both such positive and happy people- overall a joy to work with. They are also thorough , organized, and make you their priority during every professional encounter. Nothing slipped through the cracks and everything was smooth sailing in our buying and selling process. We cant recommend their team enough.

Diane and Sherwood Strickland were an absolute pleasure to work with - as always! This was the second time we worked with them, and both times they held our best interests at the centre of everything they did. Their approach was highly professional, thoughtful, and perfectly tailored to our needs. Their attention to detail is outstanding, and their deep knowledge of the market, combined with their excellent network of service providers, made the process of selling our house smooth and stress-free. They gave us excellent advice at every step, helping us make confident and informed decisions. I would work with Diane and Sherwood again anytime, they ...

The journey to finding the perfect home is often filled with excitement, anticipation, and sometimes a little stress. As we navigated through this significant milestone, we were incredibly fortunate to have the support and expertise of two remarkable individuals: Sherwood and Diane. From the very beginning, Sherwood and Diane were more than just real estate agents; they became our trusted advisors and friends. Their deep understanding of the housing market and keen insight into our needs made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Sherwood and Diane went above and beyond in every aspect. Whether it was their dedication to finding homes that matc...

I'd like to thank Sherwood & Diane Strickland of the Strickland Group for selling our home in record time. When we first starting looking for an agent; we knew it had to be someone who understood how we made a spec house into a custom home..Sherwood & Diane not only understood this, they knew how to market it as such.. When we first met with Sherwood & Diane, they laid out their strategic plan on how they would present our home. The next meeting lays out a specific action plan for your house. Even though our home was market "ready" there always items to be done that can elevate your home to its full potential. This is where the Strickland Group ou...

After living in the hustle and bustle of Washington, DC for nearly a decade, my wife and I decided we were ready for a change and set our sights on Wilmington, NC. After consulting with a close lifelong friend from the area, he strongly recommended and introduced us to Sherwood and Diane Strickland with the Sherwood Strickland Group of Caldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage Realty. Unequivocally, Sherwood and Diane were intimately familiar with the area and were consummate professionals and experts in all regards. Having been through the home-buying process multiple times, I can say with certainty that this was by far the easiest and best experience im...

Sherwood and Diane are wonderful to work with! Their expertise allowed us to sell our home quickly and at an optimal price. They know what they are doing!
