BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS REAL ESTATE BRAND WELCOMES A 30-YEAR-OLD BROKERAGE SERVING GREATER TOPSAIL ISLAND AREA, NORTH CAROLINA

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today the affiliation of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Treasure in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. For more than 30 years, the brokerage has served the mainland areas of Sneads Ferry, Holly Ridge, Jacksonville, and Wilmington as well as the three beach towns on Topsail Island: North Topsail Beach, Surf City and Topsail Beach.

Treasure Realty was founded in 1990 by Richard Baker and Tim Baker, with Tim recently taking over sole ownership of the realty assets. With offices in both Sneads Ferry and Surf City, the cousins have established over the last three and a half decades a brokerage that specializes in residential, commercial, and investment properties, property management, land development, and assistance to military homebuyers. Tim knows that the guidance and steady hand provided by Richard through the years have made all the difference in Treasure’s growth.

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Treasure is well-known for its compassion and commitment to the community. Operating under its guiding principle of “One Matters,” the team believes that every single person they encounter matters. This concierge service approach is why Tim believes the company consistently ranks as an area’s top producer in transactions.

The company’s service area is diverse, ranging from residential homes in the mainland communities of Surf City, Hampstead, Sneads Ferry and Holly Ridge, to homes for military clients who are stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, as well as beach and Intracoastal Waterway properties on Topsail Island. The 26-mile-long barrier island popular with retirees, second-home owners and investors also has a quickly growing base of year-round residents. While many of the area’s premier activities are related to its beaches and ocean access, there are also recreational opportunities such as visiting local art galleries, dining at the many restaurants and cafes, attending outdoor festivals and concerts or enjoying the mild climate at one of the local parks.  Soundside Park in Surf City for example features a boat ramp, a kayak/SUP launch that is handicap accessible, a large children’s playground and outdoor space where festivals, events, concerts and movies are held.
