I love Wilmington! I have, almost from the day I arrived from San Francisco 14 years ago. Though I've lived in many interesting and exciting places, Wilmington North Carolina stands alone in my mind for its unique beauty, vibrant culture and charm, while still maintaining a refreshing small town quality.

When I arrived here, the Historic District's real estate revitalization effort was in its infancy. Since then it has blossomed into what is often referred to by the national media as "one of the most desirable places to live in the entire United States." I'm very proud to have been a small part of that transformation. My training as an artist has allowed me to create paintings that are a reflection of my sense of this wonderful community and provided me a means by which to share those feelings with others.

It's particularly rewarding for me to have my work hanging in the homes and offices of friends and clients, as well as in public venues such as the New Hanover County Library. I owe a great debt to this city for receiving me as one of its own. As I've often said, "I'm not from here, but I got here as quickly as I could!"

Becoming involved in the Wilmington real estate market has been a great addition to my other interests. I really enjoy showing new people all the wonderful qualities of this great town, while helping them choose the new home best suited to their unique needs.

Attention to detail, enthusiasm and a customer service attitude are what you can count on from me, Chappy Valente, with your real estate needs.

I've turned the business of buying and selling property into an artform!

"What I most enjoy about working with Chappy is how attentive he is to my needs well after the real estate transaction is over. Because of his vast knowledge of the area, his personal work ethic and an understanding of the market, I was in an immediate equity position on both properties I purchased. I sold one of those properties within thirty days and made 15% on my investment!".

"I almost listed my property with another broker who encouraged me to put it on the market for $15,000.00 less than Chappy was able to sell it for. Needless to say, I'm glad I bumped into him"
