Linda Shingleton of CENTURY 21 Coastland Realty

Personal Profile

Let me help you ......I will give you my best, and we will have fun along the way.

Entering the real estate business in Kinston, NC in 1983, I found the career meant for me. I have always enjoyed helping others, so you can imagine how excited I got over helping buyers find that first home. Then their families grew and they needed larger homes, or they retired, sold their house, and moved to the Beach. Before I knew it, I was one of the top producers. Served as President of the Board of Realtorsand got a few new subdivisions started.

Emerald Isle has been part of my life since early childhood, which was during the ferry days. I grew up vacationing here; and as a teenager coming on the weekends. I knew one day I would live at the Beach. I married my teenage sweetheart, had two beautiful girls, and then we purchased our "dream place" at Emerald Isle. It was a mobile home, but it was a dream come true. A place at the beach will keep your family together; it is a great way to spend more time with your kids and meet their friends.

After my husband died in 1994 and my kids were on their own, I moved to Emerald Isle (but they followed me) and started a new life and career with CENTURY 21 Coastland Realty. Working at the Beach is such a fun market. I love helping buyers find that perfect second home or just the right investment property. I especially love when customers come back to me or refer a friend or family member. What a compliment! Among my achievements and awards, my favorites are for quality service and the Century 21 Centurion producer. I call it my "Oscar."

When I am not working, I am playing. I love spending time with my two grandchildren. Next to real estate, that's what I am best at. I also love yoga, dancing, shopping , and reading on the Beach. My work has enabled me to meet so many people and make so many friends. I love what I do and always try to do my best. Let me put my best to work for you.
