Meet Wilmington NC REALTOR®

Suzanne Altobello

Born in New York, raised in Florida, followed by 20 years of residency in the Midwest (Illinois/Indiana), I moved to North Carolina in 2014. In addition to finding your new home in the Wilmington, NC and surrounding coastal areas, I can also help you sell your home elsewhere, with my network of professional and personal contacts across the US.

I am not only a Realtor, but I am also the William J. Belk Endowed Professor of Marketing at the University of North Carolina - Pembroke. I teach MBA, marketing, social media, and analytics classes in the US and also several courses a year at Aalto University in Finland.

I bring my business strategy, entrepreneurship, and marketing teaching and consulting knowledge to the Real Estate industry. I hold additional professional certifications in Google Analytics, social media, and data science/digital marketing.

I reside in Hampstead, NC (Pender County) and am very familiar with the public school system throughout Pender and New Hanover counties. I have an amazing husband, who is a previous cardiac nurse and now a project manager for a clinical research firm.

We are officially empty nesters, with my youngest at Elon University (class of 2027) and my oldest who lives in Charlotte after graduating from Duke University in 2022. We are a very active family and our motto is "experiences over things." Personally, I love travel, Broadway musicals, and great food/wine.
