Intracoastal Realty Gives Back
Intracoastal Realty is much more than a residential brokerage and property management company. It is also a philanthropic powerhouse with a history of charitable good works that runs as deep as its local roots. Established in 1976, Intracoastal Realty is the largest independent and locally-owned real estate firm in southeastern North Carolina.
“We take great pride in being locally owned and operated, and we take equal pride in the communities in which we live and work,” said Jim Wallace, CEO of Intracoastal Realty. “Giving back through volunteerism and charitable gifts is an important part of our company culture and ensures the health and well-being of this very special area we call home. We are grateful for the generosity of our 335+ agents and staff throughout the year and particularly during this holiday season.”
Intracoastal Realty managers, agents, and staff make donations of money, time, and resources to civic organizations, disaster relief funds, and local chapters of national health organizations. The firm also works closely with UNC-Wilmington, Cape Fear Community College, and Brunswick Community College to offer scholarships to deserving students.
For more than 35 years, Intracoastal Realty has given back to the community that has given so much and made the company the success it is today. Below is just a partial list of some of the organizations benefitting from the Intracoastal Realty family.
