Who We Are
Your Trusted Partner in Commercial & Residential Real Estate
I am John Hinnant, and along with my wife, Jamie, we are excited to launch our new real estate firm. I first owned commercial real estate in 2000, before I turned 30. I have been involved in real estate since 2004, starting as a real estate appraiser. After a few years in economic development and downtown revitalization, I began my commercial real estate career in 2013. Shortly thereafter, I resumed residential appraising to keep my skills sharp. I am often referred difficult assignments, high-value homes, and challenging properties because of my attention to detail.
I have a passion for understanding the elements of a property that contribute to its value. I still offer appraisal services and work with attorneys, estates, families, and land-use issues. I have served as an expert witness and am happy to discuss your challenges.
Jamie brings a strong background in finance and accounting, along with a great eye for interior design and landscaping.
Together, we have two adult children we are very proud of. Our home is protected by an Aussie Doodle (Bubz) and a house cat (Ozzie). I enjoy walking Bubz through downtown, while Jamie loves working in the yard and cooking. We entertain family and friends during the holidays with a massive spread of home-cooked meals. We also enjoy visits to the Caribbean and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. We attend Northside Church in Wilmington, NC.
We call our firm Living Third Real Estate because, as Christians, we put God first, family and community second, and ourselves third. This transition was not accidental—He made it happen.
Looking for the ideal property? Whether you need a commercial space for your business or a residential home for your family, we provide expert real estate solutions tailored to your needs.
We also have extensive experience with investment properties and work with investors of all sizes. We especially enjoy helping small business owners establish passive cash flow through investment property acquisition.
Interested in Historic Downtown? There is nobody more experienced than we are. Many brokers do not truly understand the nuances of buying or investing in the historic district. Having completed a Historic Preservation Tax Credit Project ourselves, we can walk you through the process and make the decision much easier.
With years of experience in the industry, we make buying, selling, and investing in properties effortless.
