# Tom Stephenson | Century 21 Coastal Advantage Growing up in Beaufort, NC, Tom Stephenson didn't just learn the geography of Carteret County, he learned its character. From the salt-kissed shorelines to the tight-knit communities tucked along the coast, this is home. And for over 20 years, Tom has helped others find theirs. After graduating from East Carteret High School and earning a Business degree with a Marketing concentration from Campbell University, Tom launched his real estate career in 2004. What followed was two decades of sharpened instincts, deep market knowledge, and hundreds of successful transactions across Carteret County, NC, the kind of track record that speaks before he does. As a property specialist with Century 21 Coastal Advantage, Tom approaches every transaction with one clear priority: your outcome. Picture yourself navigating one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. You'll hear straightforward guidance, honest assessments, and zero guesswork. Feel the peace of mind that comes from working alongside someone who genuinely knows this market, not from a spreadsheet, but from lived experience. Notice how smooth the process feels when your real estate advisor actually listens. Whether you're buying your first coastal home, selling a longtime property, or exploring investment opportunities, Tom brings the same steady presence and strategic thinking to every deal. Off the clock, Tom is equally at home on a basketball court, a baseball diamond, a soccer field, or out fishing and hunting the waters and woods of coastal Carolina. That same competitive drive and patience he brings to the outdoors? It shows up every day in how he negotiates for his clients. Imagine having a local expert in your corner who is genuinely invested in your success.
