The Shipley Co. Difference

Land is more than a price tag. It’s the place you raise a family, where you play, dream, escape, explore and unwind. Land will test you, teach you and sustain you.

I have been a NC real estate broker since 1999, and John Shipley is one of the best realtors I know. 

“He helped our family estate to list and sell the family farm to a wonderful family. The qualities I like about John are his kindness, efficiency, and honesty. You can not go wrong hiring John to handle your property. My family and I highly recommend John and have known him for 20 years.”
