Sarah Finnegan
Making Waves Around Town
Sarah Finnegan seamlessly intertwines her real estate expertise with her husband’s craftsmanship for marine construction, making clients’ coastal dreams become a reality.
My husband and I are the co-owners of North End Marine Construction, a local marine construction company specializing in building fixed piers, floating docks, seawalls, gazebos, pile driving, installation of boat lifts, and dredging. We started the business back in 2020 when we saw there was a need for more contractors in the area and sure enough the business quickly took off. I remember a hurricane hit us just months into starting the business. One of the neighborhoods we were working in had quite a bit of damage so we decided to dedicate our time and resources to helping them get everything cleaned up and the business rapidly grew from there.
I grew up in New Hampshire and spent much of my youth on Cape Cod so I have lived and loved the coastal scene my entire life. I moved down here to attend UNCW and after meeting my husband, we started to build our life here. I had my daughter Lennon back in 2022 and am looking forward to having our little boy join us at the end of summer! Wilmington is a great place to live as we get to enjoy the beach, plus the mountains are just a short trip to the other side of the state. You get just enough of the season changes to keep you on your toes and the occasional 70 degree day in December is a nice treat every now and then.
I’ve been in the hospitality industry since I was 15 years old where I started out as a hostess in a restaurant and then managed a local bar in Carolina Beach, which is actually where I met my husband. I worked all throughout college and obtained two degrees in Hospitality Management and Business Administration.
Customer service is my main focus and the primary reason I chose to get into the real estate industry. Working in restaurants in Carolina Beach for 10 years allowed me to meet many of my friends that turned into family and eventually became clients. I love being able to help my clients through the largest financial purchases they will make in their lives. I base my business solely on referrals which makes every transaction that much more special and rewarding. Each property tells a story that I love to fully understand and take part in the history that exists with each sale or purchase.
