With a deep-rooted passion for Eastern North Carolina and a steadfast commitment to exceptional client care, Johanna Merrill and Charlie Jones has built a distinguished business guiding clients through North Carolina’s dynamic real estate landscape. Their team has the combined experienced of both years in the field, but a combination of excellent real estate brokers and professional appraisers helping families, investors, and individuals find their ideal properties along the coast.

Building on that extensive market expertise, Johanna recognized a growing need among local property owners for a higher standard of hands-on, strategic asset oversight. To fill that gap, she and Charlie founded ABLe Realty Group, LLC—a dedicated property management and appraisal support company designed to take the weight off investors' shoulders.
