TESTIMONIALS

Just a short note to thank you for taking such good care of us these past few months while we've covered Wilmington from one end to the other in search of our new, and I hope final address. It was a difficult search for you but you never wavered in your dedication to our needs. You always provided sound counsel and logical/pragmatic comment as we sifted so many homes. As time went on, and on, and on I was struck by your professionalism and your incredible patience. As the time drew near for Jackie and Charlie to arrive in town, you alertly found the small place on Lakemoor Dr. It not only provided a haven for Jackie and Charlie, it has become our staging area for our final search in Wilmington. Now, here we are about to close on our "real" home and you continue to lavish your attention on all the details of the deal. In the process of our professional exposure I've come to admire you not only as a "real pro" but as a real person with whom I look forward to interacting often as we put down our long term roots here in Wilmington. I have enjoyed our time together while we were on the hunt. Thank you for being Joe. Always available; ever attentive; infectiously optimistic. Yours truly,
Jim Turner

"I was fortunate to connect with Joe. He took the time to learn what my goals were and was not a "yes man", just trying make a quick sale. He validated my goals and offered his opinion on what he felt would be the safest approach. Long story short, Joe came through. He is knowledgeable, well connected, and well respected in the Wilmington region. I have absolutely no problem in giving him a high recommendation and will certainly be relying on his expertise for future investments." December 19, 2008

I found Joe on the internet along with 2 other realtors who I asked to send me property listings as they became available. He was the only realtor that was consistent and reliable in his responses each week. When it came time to visit, Joe had all the information on each property that we were to view. He walked through each property with us. His observations about the properties and his attention to detail were extremely helpful. When it came time for an offer, we were able to save additional money due to Joe's expertise. I have recommended 2 other people to Joe from California and both have bought property in Wrighsville Beach. There are many realtors in Wilmington but I find it hard to believe that there are any more thorough than Joe.

"Joe is a consummate Real Estate professional. His attention to detail, listening ability, and knowledge and expertise about Real Estate and the housing situation, opportunities, and conditions in the Wilmington area are what makes him a step above others." November 14, 2008

"Joe helped us with our move to Wilmington several years ago. He was genuinely interested in helping us find the right home. Joe didn't just ask us our price range; he took the time to understand the kind of home, neighborhood and lifestyle we wanted. Once we found our home, Joe continued to help us get settled, find work, and make Willmington our new home. His personal interst made the transition to a new city a very positive experience.

"Dear Madam/Sir: It is a pleasure to forward you this note in support of Joe Pascal; it is a privilege to endorse him for whatever task he pursues. As a confidant and supporter of varied academic programs here at my university, he has regularly been singled out as an exemplary contributor to the academic and business communities here in southeastern North Carolina. Whether working with our students in an advisory capacity, as a volunteer with varied university and non-university organizations, as a contributor to selected charitable endeavors or as a tireless worker with the local Rotaries, his work is impressive. Were I in the private sector again, I cannot imagine, frankly, any position for which Joe would not be proficient. His appreciation of evolving issues in finance mark him for success in any endeavor that requires clear and focused reporting to any group of stakeholders. These remarks are offered without reservation or equivocation, as Joe regularly sets himself apart in this community. If there is any fashion with which I might further represent my support for Joe Pascal, please let me know. That support and this endorsement are offered without reservation. Very Truly Yours, J. Edward Graham Associate Professor of Finance UNC Wilmington" December 16, 2008
Ed Graham, Finance Professor, UNCW

"I know Joe in a civic volunteer capacity. Joe is a Rotarian in the Wilmington East Rotary Club in Wilmington, North Carolina. I am a Past District Governor of Rotary for Southeast North Carolina serving in 2002-03. After holding the Governor's post, I served in the Post of District Finance Chair for three years. During that time we had difficulty filling the District Treasurer position overseeing a myriad of funds relating to 48 Rotary clubs in Southeast North Carolina. Although he had not had experience at the District level in Rotary, Joe (as ably assisted by his wife, Joyce) volunteered his services as District Treasurer. He served commendably in that position for several years, and then took over my post as District Finance Chair. This is very unusual in our organization for a non-Past Governor to serve as Finance Chair, and it is a testament to Joe's work ethic, integrity, and civic spirit that he was asked to serve in this position. Joe Pascal garners my highest recommendation as a dedicated civic volunteer, ethical business person, and Rotarian dedicated to advancing peace, goodwill and better friendships throughout the world." December 14, 2008
Bevin Wall, Regional RI Membership Coordinator, Zone 33, Rotary International

"Joe and I are both mentors of the Cameron Executive Network. Joe is passionate about helping college students (and I'm sure everyone in general). I admire his energy and enthusiasm and willingness to help others." December 12, 2008
