About
Tidal Realty Partners is a top-producing real estate team based in Wilmington, NC, specializing in buying, selling, and investing in coastal properties across the Cape Fear region of Southeastern North Carolina (including Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Leland, Hampstead, and Brunswick Forest). Brokered by Real Broker, LLC, the team has achieved over $1 billion in cumulative sales volume and sold more than 1,000 properties. Led by founder Matthew Kane, they emphasize data-driven pricing (weekly submarket absorption analysis), professional marketing (drone photography, video, targeted digital ads on Facebook/Instagram/Google), a Buyer Advantage Program with off-market opportunities and vendor discounts, free personalized home value estimates by licensed agents, and cash offer options. They serve buyers, sellers, and investors with a focus on local expertise in neighborhoods, schools, and flood zones.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Exceptional track record with over $1B in total sales volume and 1,000+ properties sold, demonstrating deep experience and consistent high performance in the competitive Wilmington coastal market compared to many local competitors with lower volume.
- Consistently outstanding 5.0/5.0 ratings from hundreds of verified reviews on Google (300+) and Zillow (150+), with clients across multiple platforms repeatedly praising professionalism, deep local knowledge of neighborhoods/schools/flood zones, proactive communication, and smooth transaction outcomes.
Cons
- As a high-volume top-producing team handling hundreds of transactions, clients are often supported by associate agents in addition to founder Matthew Kane; while reviews remain highly positive on communication and results, this team structure may feel less exclusively personalized than smaller single-agent brokerages for some clients seeking one primary point of contact throughout.
- Maintains limited or no dedicated business profiles on certain popular review/discovery platforms such as a main Yelp page (only individual agent profiles found at older addresses) or Houzz, which could reduce visibility and social proof for segments of buyers/sellers who rely heavily on those directories compared to competitors with broader multi-platform presence.
