About the Company
Terry Espy’s career in real estate development and brokerage, as well as business brokerage, spans more than thirty years and now involved in some of the most innovative, progressive projects in North Carolina. She coordinated the development of the commercial component of South Front District in Downtown Wilmington, NC in the revitalization of that area.

Having brokered over 50 restaurants in the Wilmington area over the last 5 years, she has made her mark regarding her efforts to help Wilmington become a “food destination”. During the COVID restrictions in 2020 she spearheaded the “Downtown Alive” initiative which enabled 32 Downtown restaurants to expand outdoors through the sidewalk, into the parking spaces, allowing pedestrians to ability walk along the closed streets safely. Throughout Downtown Wilmington, she has coordinated the sale and/or lease of numerous historic properties for upper-level tech and business service companies, strengthening the zoning mix to support retail and restaurants.
