2516 Independence Blvd Suite 102 Wilmington, NC 28412 (910) 799-5531
Growing up in Oklahoma City and graduating from Moore High School, Allison was surrounded by real estate. Her step-father (a building contractor) and mother owned a real estate company. Showing appointments, checking on job sites, negoiating contracts and holding open houses were just a way of life for them. Her parents took great pride in finding the perfect lot, an ideal floor plan and designing a home with ammenities that few had seen and knew it was important to stay informed and know the up and coming trends.Their mind set was work hard and then there would be time to play hard.
After attending the University of Oklahoma, she worked for the Hertz Corporation traveling the country installing their first universal computer system. She then accepted a position with IBM in Raleigh, NC. A promotion took her to Atlanta, GA where she lived prior to moving to Wilmington. Allison and her husband have been in the area for the last 22 years. They have bought and sold both residential and commercial property all over New Hanover and Brunswick Counties including Landfall and Wrightsville Beach.
If you are looking to buy or sell your first home, ready to upgrade or looking for investment property, she will guide you with her knowledge of the market and listen to your needs. If you are considering a move to our area, let her help you explore the possibilities that await you. One can only take pride in their work when a client is truly satisfied.

It was mazing experience working with Mr. Chirco. He took us throughout the entire process of our townhouse purchase. It was smooth and painless. Louie assisted us also in conducting minor renovations as well as overseeing washer and dryer installation since we are located outside of NC. Overall excellent service. Would use Mr. Chirco services during next purchase and highly recommend him to family and friends.

Louie helped us through a difficult time selling my mother in law’s house. He was always in touch with us about details and helping with appointments about the house. I would definitely recommend him and his coworkers to anyone needing a realtor.

When we moved to Wilmington Allison Horton was our agent and did an excellent job helping us find the right house. We didn't have much time, but she gave us all of her time for 3 days straight, showing us all around the area and lots of potential houses until we were sure of the one we finally chose. So when it was time to move again we chose Allison to be our seller's agent because we knew she would give it her all. We are very pleased with the results.

Working with Allison was the best decision we made. Allison came highly recommended from a colleague and for good reason. Allison was extremely attentive to our interests in a home, and always quick to respond in a helpful and friendly way. In a market that is tough for buyers, Allison was constantly searching for the perfect home for us, as these homes were being sold as quickly as they were going on the market. The home we ended up purchasing was posted on a Sunday night, and we put an offer in that same week on a Wednesday! Without Allison's guidance, advice, and quick action, we most certainly may have missed our perfect home opportunity, or perhaps settled for a home that was not the perfect fit for our family of 5. This was easily the biggest and most intricate purchase for us as of yet, and we were so grateful to have had Allison there each step of the way. Thank you Allison, we truly enjoyed working with you!!

Mrs Horton meet us on a Sunday to show us our new home. She was attentive responding to texts during the evening. She is also the correct balance of being involved while not being pushy. She does make suggestion but she mainly listens and you can tell her philosophy is that the buyer has the final word. Tech savvy as most paperwork was completed through email and most correspondences through text. I would say that she has a genuine empathy for her clients concern. She is also a cool person and is not obnoxious to be around.

Louie went beyond the call of duty to make my transaction happen! He identified issues with the house, found tradesmen to address problems and helped us negotiate the lowest price. I have purchased 5 houses, but this was the hardest deal to put together. Louie made it happen. A great guy to work with!

Louie was EXCELLENT! He went way above and beyond the scope of a Realtor. We moved from Chicago and he found us the perfect home. Even after we moved in he still helped get everything fixed with the builder and didn't let anything go until every was resolved. Definitely recommend!!!

Allison was very understanding with the emotional situation of selling our home as we were preparing to move to another state. She made the whole process easy and calming. Thank you for your time, patience and kindness.

Allison and Louie were very professional, easy to work with, and kept us in the loop at all times. How ever, it did take them almost an hour to close the deal after they put the sign up... "Awesome" I'm sure Louie worked just as hard as Allison but she is much prettier than he is. Great job, Thanks. Walt Smith

For anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Wilmington, NC or the surrounding regions, there is only one broker to call... ALLISON HORTON!! Never have I felt as if I owed somebody after hiring them to do a service for me, but that is exactly how I felt after hiring Allison as my real estate broker. Her loyalty, professionalism, and overall commitment in helping me relocate from NY to Wilmington went way beyond what I ever expected or experienced from a broker. Even when the home I bought sat empty for three months while I was awaiting the sale of my home in NY, it was Allison who made daily visits to my new home to make sure everything was tended to such as landscaping, pool service, electrical work....... Since then, I have recommended Allison to people interested in selling their homes and the positive feedback I have heard from them has been overwhelming! Her level of service stands second to none. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me Allison. I truly appreciate it.

Allison was very prompt with all appointments and knowledgeable of all situations. I always felt I was important to her and she tried to inform me of ways to improve the marketability of the property. I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.

Allison called me multiple times making me aware of what was available and requested that I look at the home even if I only liked certain amenities of the home to make certain that we should/shouldn't include them in our search if listed in the other homes. Allison had no issues of meeting me on site after hours or on weekends to accommodate my travel hours for work. She would email me homes with what I was looking for some with certain amenities others, not All included what I was interested in and she would explain it doesn't hurt to check it out the layout may change your needs or my ideas of why I need or want that in the home. My wife and I are currently looking to possibly make a purchase of a home. We two just can't decide where we want to buy.

Allison is sincerely one-in-a-million and anyone would be blessed to have her as an agent. My husband and I were moving from out-of-state and Allison went out of her way to meet us on a spare the moment notice. She quickly learned what we were looking for in a home and happily worked for weeks to help us find the ideal place for our family. She was consistently timely, professional and always willing to provide the best of advice at a moments notice. We have a large family and were specific in what we wanted so we weren't the easiest to please. She was attentive to every detail and really cared about continuing our search instead of rushing us into something we wouldn't love. Her personality is outstanding, she has a ton of great connections and I couldn't think of anything I'd want more in a real estate professional. I highly recommend Allison and feel confident her experience, customer service skills and amazing work ethic will ensure you, too, will accomplish your buying or selling goals with her on your side!

There are five reasons I would highly recommend working with Allison Horton:1) She listens. Allison listened to what we were looking for in a property and delivered properties that met our criteria. She was spot on.2) She is patient and doesn't rush the process. Allison really invested her time in discovering what we were looking for, then walked through the properties carefully listening to what we liked and didn't like. She responded quickly to our questions and worked hard for us.3) She knows the local market. Allison is well connected with local sellers and agents. She often knows when properties are coming on the market ahead of time.4) She is an educator. She takes the time to help you understand the various viewpoints and angles to each property, how to make the best deal, what to consider. She's very bright and has a lot of common sense, which is rare these days.5) She is just plain fun and pleasant to be with. Allison gets people. She's curious and asks lots of questions. She has a great sense of humor and makes you feel relaxed. She'll make you feel like an old friend. This is the only time I've ever actually enjoyed the process because Allison is insightful, relaxed, works hard for you and goes the extra mile. If you contact Allison, you'll gain both a very trusted real estate professional and a good person as a friend. Highly recommended.?

Ms. Horton was the realtor who assisted me in finding my home when I originally relocated to the Wilmington area in 2008. After I transferred out of the area, she managed the property while I rented it. She assured the home was well maintained by the tennants while it was rented for several years. And if there were any maintenance issues, she knew the best service technician or repair person to perform the work. When I considered selling my home, Ms. Horton was my agent of choice due to her knowledge, capabilities, contacts, and reputation as a realtor. For anyone considering purchasing a home in the Wilmington, NC area, I highly recommend that you reach out to her.

I would recommend Allison to anyone. She listed my house and it was sold in six weeks due to excellent presentation. She stayed in contact and assisted with all aspects of the listing, showing and closing. She is a very kind and sincere person.
