With over 15 years of proven leadership and operational management experience, I bring a strong foundation of organization, strategy, and client-focused service into my career in real estate. My professional background is rooted in overseeing large-scale operations where I was responsible for supervising teams, managing production, enforcing safety standards, and ensuring seamless daily performance. This extensive experience not only sharpened my ability to manage complex tasks but also instilled in me the importance of precision, efficiency, and clear communication—qualities I now apply to every aspect of real estate.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to lead teams, mentor employees, and implement strategies that improve efficiency and long-term results. I understand the importance of careful planning, attention to detail, and responsiveness when navigating complex challenges. These skills have prepared me to guide clients through the real estate process with confidence and professionalism, ensuring they feel supported and informed every step of the way.
My approach is built on integrity, trust, and a genuine commitment to helping others achieve their goals. Just as I once developed plans to streamline operations and reduce inefficiencies, I now use that same strategic mindset to help clients make informed decisions in buying, selling, or investing in real estate. By combining strong leadership with personalized service, I aim to create smooth and successful transactions while building long-term relationships.
Real estate is more than a transaction—it’s a significant milestone in people’s lives. My mission is to make that process as seamless and rewarding as possible by offering not only industry knowledge but also the dedication, reliability, and problem-solving expertise that have defined my professional career.

sabreyjs@gmail.com
Hello. I’m Jeanette Sanderson. I have been a licensed real estate professional in the Southeastern NC Coastal area since 2011. My commitment to my clients is evidenced by 89% repeat and referral business. Representing someone as their Real Estate Agent is a huge responsibility, and one that I take seriously.
When it comes to buying or selling real estate my clients count on my experience, knowledge of the local market and market trends to help them buy or sell one of their largest assets … all while caring and understanding how a particular transaction fits into their short and long-term life goals. Since 2011 it has been my pleasure to help hundreds of families relocate to our beautiful coastal area, purchase their vacation or second home, or build their investment portfolio. I welcome the opportunity to help you as well!
I am a true southern farm girl … born in Wilmington, NC but raised with my brother and 3 sisters on a farm in Duplin County, NC. I graduated from St. Mary’s Jr. College and UNC-Chapel Hill in the 70s. My professional career began in Wake County, NC as a paralegal where I performed title searches and closed real estate transactions.
Later, working with an international pharmaceutical company, I negotiated contracts with companies world-wide to effect the sharing of product for clinical trials. In 2010, I moved from Cary, NC to Holden Beach, NC to assist my aging parents. My parents were great examples of serving others and giving back to the community. In their final years, caring for them became a big part of my life and I now enjoy spending time with family and friends and supporting local community programs, such as the Christian Recovery Centers Inc. in Shallotte, NC. I am grateful to have had such a blessed journey thus far and look forward to the road ahead!
