I'm glad to say 7756 Funston Road SE in Winnabow is officially sold. It closed in October, and our team is happy to put this one in the books.

It wasn't the easiest one we've handled, and I want to say why. But first, the house.

The Home at 7756 Funston Road SE

This is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,496 heated square feet, built in 2005. It sits on a corner lot, and the primary bedroom is downstairs.

The layout is open concept. The kitchen is roomy and has a breakfast area, which makes it a working kitchen. The home has ceiling fans, and a brand new HVAC unit was installed in February 2025. For a buyer, that is one big item already handled.

Outside, there are porches on the front and the back, plus a deck. The lot backs to woods, so the backyard has some privacy. The MLS also lists off-street parking and shows the access as unpaved, which is the kind of detail worth seeing in person.

The listing described it as a fit for a primary residence or an investment property. I think that's fair. It's a straightforward, functional house, and those tend to draw a lot of interest.

A Challenging Transaction, Handled Well

Kyle Myers worked this home with me, and I want to give him credit by name. This was a really challenging transaction. Emotions on both sides flared up along the way, which happens too often these days.

That is when a deal needs someone steady. Kyle stayed level and kept the file moving. He kept everyone focused on getting to the closing table. He navigated it beautifully, and I'm proud of how he handled it.

Sellers sometimes assume a good transaction is a smooth one. In my experience, a good transaction is one where the people involved keep their heads when it gets hard. We can do hard things, and Kyle showed it here.

Host: Today we're getting right into a Just Sold: the three-bedroom corner-lot home at 7756 Funston Road SE in Winnabow, with Buddy Blake. Buddy, welcome back to Real Stories.

Buddy Blake: Hey, thanks for having me. Yeah, I'm glad to say that one is officially sold. It closed in October, and our team is happy to put it in the books. It wasn't the easiest one we've handled, and I'll get into why. But let's talk about the house first.

Host: Oh, you're already teasing it. Okay, I'm into that. So, the house. What are we working with?

Buddy Blake: So it's a three-bedroom, two-bath home, 1,496 heated square feet, built in two thousand five. It sits on a corner lot, and the primary bedroom is downstairs. Open-concept layout, so it all flows together.

Host: Okay, primary on the main level, I love that. What about the kitchen? That's always where I look first.

Buddy Blake: Roomy kitchen, and it's got a breakfast area, which to me makes it a working kitchen. Somewhere you can actually cook and sit down in. There are ceiling fans in the home too. And here's one that matters to a buyer: a brand new HVAC unit was installed. That's one big item already handled.

Host: Right, exactly. That's the kind of thing nobody wants to find out about after they move in. What about outside?

Buddy Blake: Outside you've got porches on the front and the back, plus a deck. And the lot backs to woods, so the backyard has some privacy to it. One more thing. The MLS lists off-street parking and shows the access as unpaved. That's the kind of detail worth seeing in person, honestly.

Host: Yeah, that's a good point. You want to see how that actually works for you instead of just reading it on a listing. So who's it a fit for?

Buddy Blake: The listing described it as a fit for a primary residence or an investment property, and I think that's fair. It's a straightforward, functional house. And those tend to draw a lot of interest.

Host: Makes sense. Okay, so now you said this one wasn't the easiest. What happened?

Buddy Blake: Yeah. Kyle Myers worked this home with me, and I want to give him credit by name. This was a really challenging transaction. Emotions on both sides flared up along the way, which happens too often these days.

Host: Oh man. That's tough. How do you even handle that when it's happening in the middle of a deal?

Buddy Blake: That's when a deal needs someone steady. And Kyle stayed level the whole way. He kept the file moving and kept everyone focused on getting to the closing table. He navigated it beautifully, and I'm proud of how he handled it.

Host: I love that you're giving him a shout-out. And it sounds like it says something bigger about what a good transaction really is.

Buddy Blake: It does. Sellers sometimes assume a good transaction is a smooth one. In my experience, a good transaction is one where the people involved keep their heads when it gets hard. We can do hard things, and Kyle showed it here.

Host: Okay, that's a great way to put it. So if someone's listening and they're curious about Winnabow, where should they start?

Buddy Blake: Start with our page on the Winnabow neighborhood. You can also see the current homes for sale in Winnabow, or look more widely at homes for sale in Brunswick County. We also wrote about this house earlier, when it went under contract. All of that is linked in the show notes.

Host: Perfect. And what if somebody owns a place nearby and they're just wondering what it might do?

Buddy Blake: Then take a look at selling a home in Winnabow. Our Winnabow market insights show how homes there have actually been performing. And if you want to know how our team prepares a house before it ever hits the market, we've got a page on how we sell homes. Those are in the show notes too.

Host: Love it. Buddy, this was really good. Thanks for walking us through it, and for telling the story behind the closing, not just the house.

Buddy Blake: Anytime. And if you'd like to talk about selling, or you just want an honest opinion on your place, call or text me at 910-395-1000. No pressure. We're glad to help. The full article is linked in the show notes.
