Why should you consider Gloria as your home Seller or Buyer representative?

Gloria has over 25 years experience as a business owner and negotiator. She has been an entrepreneur since the age of 26 at which time she started her first business. With a degree in Physical Therapy and a drive to succeed in whatever she goes out to accomplish, Gloria independently started a Physical Therapy private practice and developed it into a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation agency with Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech and Language Pathology services. She owned and operated this business for 21 years. In 1999 she moved to Pinehurst and married her husband, Ed.

Gloria founded Gunther Properties, Inc., an independent real estate company, in 2004. Having been a real estate investor over 27 years she brings a wealth of personal experience to the table. Her dedication and commitment today in representing real estate clients is as strong as it was when she served patients needing care and medical attention. Gloria has always strived to be the best in whatever she does and her real estate business continues that drive.

Additionally Gloria has completed a luxury home marketing course with The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. She is an experienced Broker in the upper tier market and is trained to promote high-end homes and estates. In networking with other agents and contacts around the country she has developed new resources of finding Buyers. Home Buyers and Sellers of luxury properties greatly benefit from her abundance of knowledge.

Gloria holds two real estate designations beyond her N.C. real estate Brokers license including the GRI (Graduate Real Estate Institute) and ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative). With the GRI designation she is in a select group of N.C. real estate professionals with nationally just 19% of Realtors having finished the course. The ABR designation is the benchmark of excellence in Buyer representation. It is awarded by the Real Estate Buyers Agent Council (REBAC), an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors. Having met specified educational and practical criteria, Gloria has been awarded this designation.

Gloria’s primary goal is exceeding client expectations.

What clients are saying about Gloria:

" In the mid 1980’s I met this young woman who was opening her own business in Rocky Mount. Being only in her mid 20’s, people thought she was crazy to do this, but not only did she excel, she surpassed the people who had questioned her abilities. From her background, Gloria came from a humble and simple lifestyle-

I ended up renting office space from her in the 90’s and at that point, Gloria became an inspiration to me. I said I want to own my own building one day as well. As a rising Financial Advisor, people thought I was crazy to get into the business at 23 and then at 33, build my own building. In the mid 90’s Gloria planted seeds with me and I never realized that until working with her in the past two years.

Many years passed after I was a tenant of hers, the year is now 2013, and I was planning to purchase property in Wilmington. I found out Gloria was a Realtor/Broker there. I felt funny calling her to see if she would work with me, with Gloria not knowing at that point she had been an inspiration to me for many years. I had never told her- Once I started working with Gloria, I learned very quickly she does her homework. She is a leader, she is black and white when it comes to detail, and if someone thinks they will pull anything over on her or her client, all I can say is “watch out”. She educates herself and strives to excel to higher levels. And once we found the property for my office, I can truthfully say, I would never work with anyone else but Gloria moving forward.

My daughter recently got married and Gloria helped her and my son-in-law purchase their first home in Wilmington. While I know this wasn’t a large sale for Gloria, that did not sway her from providing them the same compassion, care and knowledge that I had been given when I was looking for my office. Everyone knows that buying a home has its hurdles and challenges. Gloria was right there to help them through everything. Once they closed on their home, both my daughter and son-in-law said, “I will never work with anyone else but Gloria going forward. She is awesome." I said “I told you so!”

If this testimony is not enough for anyone to see how Gloria operates, as a Financial Advisor I will tell you, there won’t be anyone else I will work with. As a potential client if you need any kind of reference, I encourage you to call me, but be ready for a long conversation of how, if there were more Gloria’s around, the world would be a much better place."

" If you are looking for someone that does their homework, excels at detail and has her clients at the top of the list, Gloria Gunther is worth investing your money to have her work with you. I have learned more working with Gloria than I ever have with any other Realtor. She strives at excellence for what is in the best for HER clients! We won't work with anyone else after working with Gloria!"

"Gloria:
We would have been lost without your meticulous attention to detail and caring guidance through every step of our first home purchase. Being a dual military, Army Officer married couple, this process could have been much more difficult as we had quite a unique situation. You walked us through from the beginning of the process as we were still stationed in Washington state, all the way to the end of the process as we picked up our keys in North Carolina. You helped us overcome the many challenges associated with finding the right house, negotiating a contract, setting up home inspections, etc. as we were unable to be physically present. Closing on a house, sight unseen and in the middle of a long road trip move, can be a very daunting task but you made it seem easy and even took care of all the things we would have never known we needed to do. We love our new home and this whole experience couldn’t have been smoother. You were always available to help us and were extremely responsive whenever we had any questions. Your advice was always sound and we will be sure to let any of our friends moving to the area to give you a call! Thank you once again!
Sincerely,
1LT Lewis Han and 1LT Jennifer Han

"Dear Gloria:
I just wanted to thank you for everything you did to help us purchase our home in Pinehurst. Over the years, we have purchased many properties and this one was certainly the most challenging. Your total involvement through the process ultimately made it happen. I have worked with many realtors in the past and I can certainly attest that I have never seen anyone work harder or more proactively on my behalf. More times than I could possibly keep track of you went above and beyond what is traditionally expected to get the deal done. Thanks again Gloria. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to work together again as we become established in Pinehurst."

"Gloria
It has now been four months since we settled into our new house and we are still amazed at how perfect a fit it is for us! We cannot thank you enough for contacting us that it was available and for your many conversations with the owners (who wanted the house shown to prospective buyers but who needed to wait for suitable housing to accommodate them before they could settle on a closing date), and for your diligence in taking care of every single detail that protected all parties involved.

In many respects, this was not an easy sale for you. The health of one of the sellers was of great concern to us all and you graciously realized the need to make sure the transaction was as easy as possible for them, while at the same time, you always protected our position as buyers. This was a delicate balance but, as usual, you accomplished both with grace, professionalism, dignity and patience for all involved.

Whenever Bob and I hear someone talk about the possibility of moving, we are quick to tell them about you! Thanks again--and please drop by whenever your travels bring you to Whispering Pines!"

"Dear Gloria,
You walked hand in hand with us during the entire (home buying) procedure, from contract to closing of our second home.

Your kind attitude and attention to details went beyond our expectations. We had nothing to worry about except getting the cashiers check from our bank! You are truly a person of detail who arranged all the repairs needed and numerous additional requests that enabled us to have a smooth closing.

You are a delight to work with and we highly recommend you to anyone seeking your services."

Sincerely,
Dr. & Mrs. Harold Weidaw
