Sherwood works closely with buyers and sellers and uses his construction knowledge, eye for detail, and business acumen to guide his clients to make quick but informed decisions.

Sherwood and Diane’s business philosophy is simple: “we never want to be the biggest…we just want to be the best we can for our clients.” The SS Group would rather serve 50 clients to the highest level than 100 clients who do not feel 100% fulfilled. Sherwood and Diane promise to go the extra mile, create solid relationships, and bring their own personal style, client sensitivity and innovative ideas to ensure that each client receives an exceptional experience.
In their leisure time, Sherwood is a sports enthusiast and a retired bodybuilder who still actively trains and understands the value of discipline.

If you are in need of a realtor in the Wilmington NC area, Sherwood Strickland is the man for the job. Don’t waste your time looking for anyone else. I was connected with Sherwood by a random chance of luck when I inquired about a home listed on Zillow. I was connected with Sherwood and I’m so happy I was. Our journey of home searching began in the spring of 2021. He spent a great deal of time exploring the type of home we were searching for and the area that would best fit our needs. I had to travel from out of town in order to go house searching and Sherwood spent the entire weekend showing me many different homes. He also did several video walkthroughs on days I wasn’t able to be in town so I didn’t feel like I was missing an opportunity to see a potential home…this was even after I thought I knew which home I was planning to purchase. My point being, he took extra time out of his schedule to meet my needs in the home buying process. I don’t think any other realtor would have treated me and my husband with as much concern and generosity as he did. My husband’s job actually fell through in Wilmington and he even went to lengths to connect him with people in the area that could potentially offer him another position in his field. We were treated like his own family from the beginning and throughout the entire process. We finally chose a new construction home and ended up waiting additional months until it was completed. Sherwood stayed in contact with us throughout the entire process and even stopped by the building site to make sure the building process was going as planned with no corners cut. He has a long history of building homes himself, which is an added bonus and accentuates the list of qualifications for his service he provides to homeowners and potential buyers. I could honestly write so much more on this review, as there as so many more positive experiences that were had during the months of working with Sherwood and his team. His office setting is modern and very welcoming. He has the latest digital technology in the office and is able to provide enlarged photos of the homes through a projector tool. This was very helpful and easy to review potential homes to view. In summary, Sherwood is the absolute best realtor I could have ever hoped for while searching for our home in Wilmington. I cannot say enough about how well he treats his clients. If you’re looking for a realtor that will treat you as if you’re family with a vast amount of knowledge and unlimited resources in the industry, then look no further!!!

Sherwood responded quickly after notifying him we wanted to put the house on the market. He gave us suggestions on what items should be addressed to maximize curb appeal and first impressions. Sherwood visited the property a few times during the process and asked if we had questions or concerns. He explained the total process up front so we knew what to expect. He gave recommendations on tradesmen, some we used others no and the sale went quickly and smoothly. We are very satisfied and would use his services again, should the need arise.
