A true Wilmington native, I was born and raised in this beautiful coastal community. I bring a lifetime of knowledge about Southeastern North Carolina and my passion for real estate to the buyers, sellers, and investors I am so fortunate to represent.
A former stockbroker, working in finance for 16 years, I have a long history of providing fiscal support and advice, which prepared me well for supporting my clients through their real estate journeys. The most important parts of my job are helping my clients understand every step of the process, and making sure they are supported in their needs, not only during the transaction, but into the future. I pride myself on being the agent who is there for my clients and friends long after we leave the closing table, whether they need vendor recommendations, help understanding the value of their assets as the market changes, or simply a listening ear, I am here to help.
Having graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business management through night-school classes attended while I was working full-time, I am excellent at organization and time management, and my background in finance taught me to be meticulous and detail oriented. These skills have allowed me to thrive in the real estate industry and allow me to serve my clients at the highest level.
I love what I do and even my kids say I am happiest as a REALTOR®. If you are interested in buying, selling, or investing in Southeastern North Carolina, or if you just have some questions about the value of your home or anything the gorgeous Cape Fear region has to offer, I would love to chat, or show you around!

Emily Ervin made buying a home from over 3,000 miles away an amazing experience. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Buying a home from that far away can be stressful, but Emily made the entire process feel easy and gave me confidence every step of the way.What meant the most was that I never felt like just another client. Emily truly listened to my concerns, answered every question with patience, and made me feel heard throughout the entire process. Her communication, professionalism, and genuine care were unmatched.We need more Emilys in this world. She is simply the best, and I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide me through such an important milestone. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Working with Emily Ervin was an absolute pleasure. Buying a home from 3,000 miles away could have been incredibly stressful, but Emily made the entire process feel smooth and manageable from start to finish. She is one of the most honest, trustworthy, and communicative realtors we’ve ever worked with. No matter what questions or concerns we had, she always took the time to listen, provide thoughtful guidance, and keep us informed every step of the way. We never felt like just another client she genuinely cared about helping us make the right decision. Emily went above and beyond to make our long-distance home purchase a success, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Her professionalism, integrity, and dedication gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. We truly need more Emilys in this world. If you’re looking for a realtor who will treat you with honesty, respect, and exceptional care, we can’t recommend Emily Ervin highly enough.

Emily is the best in Southeastern NC. We bought our first home with her in 2023; sold that same house with her 3 years later and have now bought our forever home with her. Her knowledge of the area, kindness, professionalism, patience and ability to guide you through the home buying/selling process is top tier. One of the things we love most about Emily is that she tours a house with you as if she is an active buyer herself; she’s not one to sit at the kitchen counter while you tour the home - she will be right there with you opening windows, testing electrical/plumbing, and making sure you are buying a home that feels like home.

We truly could not have asked for a better realtor than Emily with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage! Emily helped us sell our home and guided us through building and purchasing our dream home, and she was incredible every step of the way. From getting our house on the market to navigating the new construction process and making it all the way to the closing table, she made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel so much easier. She was always quick to answer our questions, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Her knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication gave us so much confidence during one of the biggest milestones of our lives. Buying and selling a home at the same time is no small task, but Emily handled it with grace and expertise. We always knew she had our best interests at heart. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, hardworking, and truly invested in her clients, Emily is the one. We are beyond grateful for everything she did for our family and couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you, Emily, for helping us close one chapter and begin an exciting new one in our beautiful new home!

Emily has been the absolute BEST agent!!! Always available, always by her phone, always professional, and always prepared with all the home info in hand at each showing. Most of the time she got us same-day showings, and catered to my husband’s work schedule, which was amazing. And it is so comfortable working with her, she feels like a friend! We will definitely be referring her, and using her again in the future!!! Thank you Emily!!!

I began searching for my first home in November 2025, and Zillow suggested Emily Ervin as professional realtor. We met and talked about my goals and expectations. She impressed me with her passion, professionalism and honesty. It was a long 5 months journey, we looked into dozens of properties. She was available, always on time, positive, supportive of my changing parameters, very quick and helpful with documents and resources. One deal did not go through, as I pulled out after home inspection, and Emily was able to negotiate for the full refund, which saved me $3000. Now I am sitting on the deck of my own house thinking how much I appreciate working with her. Great experience! Emily is a real pro and I will absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend.

It has been a great blessing in my life to have met Emily. She responded to a property inquiry almost 2 years ago and I immediately knew she was there for my best interest. She tirelessly looked at properties for me and did video visits since I didn't reside near the area I was searching in. She was and is always prompt to respond, and to provide new information as soon as she becomes aware. She helped me find and make the best deal on my brand new home. When circumstances changed and I needed to sell; she did her research and had the property on the market and sold in less than two weeks. Any client would be fortunate to have her in their corner. I can't think of anyone who deserves recognition more than Emily.

Emily was incredibly wonderful to work with from day one! My husband & I had never purchased a home before so we were nervous, excited & of course, naive to what the process entailed. Emily was there every step of the way to answer any questions we could think of & to calm our anxieties or concerns. She was available anytime for communication & always had a prompt response. She gave us great advice when it came to the build process & was present during our many walk throughs, making sure that everything was quality & ready to go before move in. She even single-handedly managed to assure several (difficult to obtain) mortgage documents were signed by the correct people, allowing us to close on time. I truly believe Emily cares about her clients like family. She makes you feel like you are her number one priority from the first time you meet her. I would 10/10 recommended Emily for all of your real estate needs!

Emily Ervin is the one of the absolute best people in the world to know - not only as a realtor but as a true advocate for you as her client, and as someone you'd be fortunate enough to call a friend. From my first contact with her she was tireless in trying to find the perfect home for me, making endless trips and videos for virtual showings since I was not able to be there. I can't thank her enough for her professionalism, support, and kindness.

Emily, is my hero!! When I started looking for a small condo in historic downtown Wilmington, NC, I found the place I knew I wanted to be on Zillow online. Emily got in touch with me and I told her about this place. Emily guided me step by step. The moment something became available she was right on top getting all of the paper work taken care of and in a very short period of time I had bought the condo in the building I wanted to be in!! On the day of closing, Emily brought me a wonderful gift basket filled with things a person just moving into a new space would need,. THANK YOU EMILY FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.

Emily guided us through every step of the way. She was always 3 steps ahead of us and made what is usually a very stressful time in someones life into a very smooth transition. Honestly she made what I thought was going to be "a horrible time in my life" (I am disabled) in to something wonderful! Im not stressed! Actually I am excited!!!! I never thought I would be excited about moving!!! My Realtor has made this move into a very positive, and exciting experience! Also, I really like the app you use! The app was easy for the user and very fast! The staff at Emily's office were very kind, friendly, and extremely helpful during this process! John and I appreciate everything Coldwell Bankers have done for us! We will definantly recommend Coldwell Banker, but especially will recommend Emily Irvin to any and all my friends looking to sell or buy property! On a personal note...I hope that I have found a "friend for life" with Emily and I have told her so...She is that good!!!!!!!!!! Sincerely, John and Crystal Swift III

Emily was a consummate professional. She listened to our wants and needs and did not try to “sell us” on anything. Due to our limited schedule, she had several properties lined up for our inspection. She made her recommendations and shared her thoughts which were always spot on with our needs. In the end, we found and purchased exactly what we wanted and are extremely happy. I can not thank Emily enough and look forward to using her services again and will of course recommend Emily and the Coldwell Banker group to any one we know. Thank you a job well done Bob DeThomasis
