I would highly recommend Tate Felts to anyone who is looking for a finance organization to purchase real estate in the Outer Banks. Tate was friendly, professional, very responsive as well as very knowledgeable of the real estate market in the Outer Banks. He worked closely with my wife and I every step of the way up to closing on our new investment home. Tate was able to accelerate the process so we could close in less than one month. He and his staff were so accessible and helpful in making sure we were exchanging key documents in a timely manner so we didn’t lose any time in the process. The whole process of working with Tate and his team was pleasant and very satisfying. I would strongly recommend him and Southern Trust to friends and family.
