The Gold Team
Tonia Glasgow & Cathy Gainey
It is indeed our pleasure to welcome you to the Crystal Coast of North Carolina! If we personally do not have the listed property you seek, we promise to use all the tools available to aid you in your search for the perfect home!

Cathy, licensed since 1989, and Tonia licensed since 1993, combined have over 30 years experience in Carteret County Real Estate sales and "We will work hard for you!'' as ''We aim to earn your trust, one home at a time!"

In addition to their real estate careers, both are active in many other areas of our community.

Cathy has been active in the Carteret County Association of Realtors, serving as President in 2004. She also held offices in the Crystal Coast Chapter of the Women's Council of Realtors and the North Carolina Association of Realtors.

Cathy is well known as a leader in her community. She is involved in many civic organizations and in her church. Her involvements in the Relay For Life, Salvation Army, Stephen Ministry, Reach For Recovery, Chamber of Commerce, as well as her role of church choir member and elder, and other things are very near and dear to her heart, as giving back to the community is important in her eyes.

As the mother of three daughters, time with family has always been high on her list of priorities. As a result of all her community activities, Cathy was awarded the Distinguished Women's Award for Volunteerism in 2003, given by the Carteret County Council of Women.

Tonia has served on the Vestry of All Saint's Anglican Church for three years and has been a Lay Reader serving regularly in the Worship Service since 2001.

She is a member of the Carteret Community Theater and once played the role of Peter in Peter Pan!

As a mother of three grown children, including 2 married daughters, her newest and favorite role now is that of Grandmother of Hailey and Max and a Rock Star groupie of her musically talented son, Paul and "Us-The Band"!

Jim Willis
Broker
As a Carteret County native my extensive knowledge of its history, charm and beauty is a major asset when assisting people in finding the little piece of Carteret County they want to call home, be it a permanent residence, vacation/second home or investment property. My family roots stem from Davis, Harkers Island, Williston, Morehead City and Beaufort.

I served 10 years in the Coast Guard during the Vietnam War. After getting out of the Coast Guard I decided to go into the real estate business. I was a real estate broker in Florida in the early 80's until returning to Carteret County where I worked at MCAS Cherry Point until 2003.

I have a daughter and three grandchildren living in Omaha, NB and a son and three grandchildren living in Newport, NC.

I am proud of my military service and that my son-in-law is an active Marine serving our Country in such uncertain times.

Since Carteret County is strategically located between two major Marine Corps Military Bases, my knowledge of Carteret County can be of service to the men and women who so bravely are serving our country and are looking for the right home and location to live while being stationed at MCHS Cherry Point and Marine Corps Station Camp Lejuene.

I am a member of the National Association of REALTORs and Carteret County Association of REALTORs.
