MADISON, N.J. (April 20, 2023) -- 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 has made all the difference in Treasure’s growth.
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Treasure is well-known for its compassion and commitment to community. Operating under its guiding principle of “One Matters,” the team emphasizes the principle 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, a 26-mile-long barrier island popular with retirees, second-home owners and investors, as well as 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 the local art galleries, eating at one of the many excellent restaurants and cafes, attending the multitude of amazing outdoor festivals and concerts or enjoying the mild climate at one of the local parks, such as Soundside Park in Surf City with its boat ramp, kayak/SUP launch – which includes a handicap launch - large children’s playground, and the outdoor concert space where many free festivals, events, concerts and movies are held.
