We had an excellent experience working with Angela Short. Despite the tight time frame to list our house, she managed everything smoothly and efficiently. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process stress-free. Communication was clear and timely, and she was always available to answer our questions. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, our house sold quickly and without any issues. We highly recommend Angela Short to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled realtor!

My wife and I just had the pleasure of working with Brian in the purchase of our new home in West Ocean City. He is one of the hardest working people I have ever met! His approach is very thorough and professional. As a result, this was the easiest, most stress free purchase we have ever experienced! As we were 3 hours away, Brian went above and beyond in assisting with coordination with inspectors, lenders and others in order to make this happen in a smooth and timely fashion. We would absolutely recommend Brian to family and friends!
Dave Cornwell
Andrea was a pleasure to work with and made our home purchase unstressed and easy. She went above and beyond for our search for the right home. She was very responsive to our questions and worked tirelessly coordinating and negotiating on our behalf. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs.
Carter Bromwell
I had a great experience working with Brianna! She was professional, knowledgeable, and made the process feel a lot less stressful than I expected. Brianna really took the time to explain everything clearly and was always easy to reach when I had questions. You can tell she genuinely cares about helping people find the right place. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a helpful and reliable real estate agent.
Bekah Shaffer
Brooks did an amazing job with our house in Catonsville! He was very knowledgeable and helped us throughout the whole process. As a first time home buyer, he made us feel well taken care of and was there for us at every turn, ensuring we were satisfied with our home! We will definitely be using Brooks again for our future real estate needs!
Kelsey Major
Claudia was the best realtor we have ever worked with! She showed great patience with us as she took us to view dozens and dozens of listings, until we found the "right" one. Always knowledgeable and matter-of-fact, she left no stones unturned in helping us find our perfect beach house (and condo, before that!). And to this day, she keeps in touch to see how we are doing and visits us occasionally to see our renovations. Couldn't recommend her enough!
Alicia Dingus
We are incredibly grateful to have had Cory as our Realtor. Our home purchase came with unexpected complications, especially due to new post-COVID lending rules that caused delays in our closing date. Despite the setback adding an extra week to our closing timeline, Cory remained proactive, communicative, and calm throughout the entire process. What truly stood out was how Cory handled the situation with the seller’s side. He managed to work professionally with the seller's realtor to keep the deal on track and protect our position as buyers.
Yuko Yelland
My husband and I were looking to purchase a condominium in Ocean City, Maryland and Deeley was referred to us by a family member. He demonstrated great knowledge of the local market and of the local area. He offered excellent advice, answered every question and helped us make informed decisions. Deeley was friendly, professional and demonstrated dedication and hard work in helping us find our property. He was responsive to all of our phone calls, emails, and text messages. He showed expertise in the field of real estate and I would recommend Deeley Chester at Coastal Life Realty Group for all your real estate needs.
Barbara Wattay
Working with Jaden to purchase our condo in Ocean City, MD was an absolute pleasure. He made the entire process incredibly convenient from start to finish. His professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge of the area made all the difference. Thanks to Jaden, we found the perfect condo and couldn’t be happier with our experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the area!
Bryan Hooper
We’ve used Jay for both the purchase of our property and the sale of the same property 6 years later. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the market and although there is a lot of competition out there for agents in the area, we would not use anybody other than Jay. He went above and beyond for us and we highly recommend him for purchases or sales . We were very happy with his representation of us!
Melanie Majors
Jennifer Ciorrocco was the absolute best in helping us purchase our condo. She fought for us, got us a great deal and helped us sell it a few years later, fighting for us again. We made way more on our sale than we expected. She goes above and beyond every step of the way. We would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone!!
Stacey Yates
Jim Wilson started as our agent and quickly became one of our dearest friends. From the beginning of our time working together he provided strategic advice that helped us find our dream house and understand exactly what improvements needed to be made. Nobody knows the market better than Jim and nobody will fight harder for your interests. He’s not the kind who will rush you through the process just to close a deal, he really, really does want you to find the best fit. He’s the best possible partner to make your real estate dreams a reality.
Janel Broderick
I recently used Joe for the purchase my first house and sale of my condo. Joe was amazing and I couldn’t have done it without him. My husband and I used him in the past to buy a condo and had an equally as good experience 7 years ago so I needed to make sure I left a review this time! He always answered when I called/texted and worked well with my crazy work schedule when it came to going to check out listings. My husband and I had no idea what we were doing and he gave us great advice when asked. He made the process much less stressful and less scary than I anticipated. He helped us find and buy a home that exceeded all our expectations and I can’t say enough good things about the experience.
Brittany Gentilini
Katherine is absolutely wonderful! Katherine is competent and organized. I live out of state and Katherine went above and beyond taking care of things for us in order to sell the house. Katherine is excellent with communication and is just a kindhearted person to work with. You will not go wrong having Katherine as your realtor!
Amanda Sweigart-Quinn
We had a fantastic experience working with Kevin Decker! He helped us sell our old home and buy our new one, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his guidance throughout the process. Kevin kept us informed every step of the way and always made sure we understood what to expect next. His communication, professionalism, and support made a stressful process feel manageable and smooth. Highly recommend Kevin to anyone buying or selling a home!
Allison Pappas
We have had an incredible experience working with Matt Swiderski on multiple properties over the past few years, both residential and commercial. He was extremely patient with us as we viewed several homes to ensure the right fit for our family. As local business owners, we wanted to work with someone who had solid knowledge of Ocean City and the surrounding areas. Matt went above and beyond to accommodate our schedules and to do the legwork in researching different options. We have enjoyed working with him and the Coastal Life team and plan to continue working with him on any of our future ventures.
Allison Hendricks
Megan is a great listener and took the time to understand what we were looking for in our new home purchase. She asked questions to help us realize which features were essential to us vs. nice to have. She took us to several properties within our price range to help us assess the pros and cons of each property. Her knowledge of the market as well as the available inventory was impressive. She also helped us sell our condo quickly. One feature that was especially important to me was having visibility to beautiful sunsets from our home. These pics were taken from the canal coming in from a sunset cruise and from our dock. It doesn’t get much better. Thanks Megan!
Rossana Grant
Melanie was absolutely amazing to work with! I was looking for a short-term rental in Ocean City, MD that would be perfect for my family and also a smart investment, and she delivered on both. Her knowledge of the area is unmatched. She knows exactly where and what people want to rent, which helped make my purchase both enjoyable and profitable. My family has loved the condo, and it’s also brought in great rental income. I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. Highly recommend Melanie!
Emily Redding
We recently had the pleasure of working with Nick Bobenko to sell our condominium in Ocean City, Maryland and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From our initial meeting to the closing day, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism. Selling a property can be stressful, but Nick made the entire process incredibly smooth and seamless. The success started with the strategy. He clearly priced the condo right because we had a quick offer and were able to close the sale in just 30 days. This speed is a testament to his deep knowledge of the Ocean City market. Beyond the results, we truly appreciated his dedication to communication. We never waited long for an answer as Nick was quick to respond to every call, text, or email, keeping us informed and confident throughout the entire transaction.
Manny Blackner
Paul Callahan was an exceptional agent. He set up a schedule showing several listings on days we were in the area. He was always available for our questions and very responsive. He was never pushy and truly listened to our needs/wants. The buying process for our beach home went smooth definitely due to his involvement. We highly recommend Paul as an agent on buying or selling.
Denise Allen
Reid is excellent. Very personable and great to deal with!
Kim R.
We had the chance to work with Steve Green for about six months in 2025, and he really made the whole experience easier. From day one, he took the time to introduce us to Berlin and walk us through the local market so we could get a real feel for the area. After selling our previous home, we knew Berlin was where we wanted to land, and we made the move in August. It was a complicated journey for our family, but Steve’s patience, responsiveness, and professionalism carried us through. We’d happily recommend Steve to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home around here.
A.J. Lawrence
Within a 5 month process, Summer listed and sold my home for over asking and closed on our dream home with an extremely difficult off market deal! She is amazing and could not have pulled any of it off without her. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a local realtor who prides her work, in working for you!
Scott Smith
Let me start by saying that Tamar was simply AMAZING!! Being able to connect with her on a personal level made my buying experience that much easier. She walked me through the entire process and answered every single question promptly. She was and still is a huge supporter in my decision to buy a completely gutted home!! Can’t wait to show her the results! Thank you Tamar on a personal and professional level. You are a beautiful soul!
Michele E.
From start to finish, working with Tina Dorsey was an absolute pleasure. Her knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, and genuine dedication made finding my first waterfront condo a seamless experience. Tina listened closely to my needs, guided me through each step with patience and professionalism, and ultimately helped me secure the perfect single-bedroom home on the water. I couldn’t be happier with the result, and I’m truly grateful for her expertise and commitment. I would highly recommend Tina Dorsey to anyone looking for a smooth, stress-free experience.
Charles Butz
It is an honor to post the first review for Wayne. I first dealt with Wayne in 2009 in selling a condo and connected again in 2017 in purchasing. The years passed but connecting back with Wayne was a blessing. It was like we stayed in contact. His personality is a blessing from God. I am blessed to know him. You cannot deal with a better agent than Wayne. He answers all questions in a speed and makes sure things run smoothly. Very professional with years of experience that show. He gives that personal touch to everything and above all, honesty. You will not find a more trustworthy person. You will not go wrong with choosing Wayne as your agent!
Kathy Griffin
Big thanks to Craig Glovier. We are officially a land owner in Stockton again. Give him a call if you are looking to buy or sell.
