Hello, my name is Nolan Formalarie and I moved from the cold Northeast in 2004 to be by the beach, sun and enjoy a relaxed lifestyle! Growing up in Western MA was wonderful but as an avid outdoor person who needs the sun I decided to take a trip to Southport/Wilmington and immediately fell in love with the area.
I used to be an avid day hiker and mountain biker but because this area is flat I quickly adapted and now kayak, walk and run along the seashore. The kayaking in Brunswick County is amazing; you can experience all kinds of wildlife in the Lockwood Folly River, if you like sea kayaking the Marsh Savannahs that lead to the Atlantic might be for you.
Our beaches are calm, serene and full of white sand. Down in Brunswick County they all face south making them an excellent place to take a walk around Sunset. I make sure to get out there at least once a week with my wife, 2 boys and our dog Bradley to walk. It’s a stress release, as well as therapeutic.
As for being a real estate broker I genuinely love what I do. I don’t sell homes or land I simply provide the best customer service I can to my clients. I pride myself on the relationships I form before, during and after a transaction. My work ethic and dedication is unparalleled and if I can help you out in any way please let me know.

I absolutely love cooking for my family and friends, and spending quality time with my children. And can’t forget our English Bulldog Princess Leia! They definitely keep me on my toes.
I also love to stay active and work out.
You can often find me out and about exploring the hidden gems that Southport has to offer, especially trying out new restaurants with friends.
I’d love to be your guide as you transition to the Coastal Carolina area, and can’t wait to help you discover not only your dream home, but to help you navigate your new life path.

Dooley Group
Rob Dooley has lived in Brunswick county for over 10 years after relocating from Northern Virginia. He and his wife Christy have inspired virtually the whole family on both sides to settle in Brunswick County from Oak Island to St. James to Calabash. He is well versed in new construction. He is an avid golfer and fisherman, and often enjoys relaxing with a game of pool, a Netflix binge, or Sunday football.
John & Shannon Dooley moved from Pittsburgh, PA to Bolivia, NC when John’s brother Rob offered them a second job in real estate. Their other trained profession is as professional Opera Singers (yes, really) and have performed everywhere from The Metropolitan Opera and Lincoln Center in New York City to The Cave Without a Name in Boerne, TX. They find that real estate is just as dramatic as the theater world but with fewer unsavory endings. They enjoy gardening, cooking, and being mom and dad to their daughter and Russian Blue cat.
We are dedicated to our clients ensuring that: “We’re Here to Help You Discover Where You’ll Love Living!” Give us a call today!
Essentially, whether you are buying or selling property my goal is to build the relationship to ensure a stress-free real estate transaction. Customer satisfaction is a key element of my service. I want you to have the best experience possible during the transaction, including assistance with mortgage brokers, attorneys and home inspectors. When selling your home, I will market your property to attract buyers and bring you the highest possible price. If you are buying a home, I will help identify features that match your family needs, location and negotiate the best price. I value your business and look forward to assisting you in accomplishing your real estate goals.

Sarah
I moved down here in 1986 when I was a young kid from Michigan. Growing up here, I have seen this area change so much. I went to college in Wilmington and graduated with my Paralegal degree. I loved that field! Working in the Real Estate Law side, I found my niche interacting with clients and helping them with their real estate transactions. It only seemed natural to join Discover NC Homes and continue my interest in the real estate field. My husband and I are raising our two boys, Aidan and Gabriel, in this amazing coastal town with our sassy little corgi, Molly. I am happy to help you discover this area and make it your forever home.
