BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C., Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PROACTIVE Real Estate proudly welcomes Wendy Buckley to its brokerage, adding a marketing and sales veteran whose background spans luxury hospitality, brand development, and entrepreneurial leadership. Wendy brings a strategic, service-driven approach to real estate that strongly aligns with PROACTIVE Real Estate’s mission to EMPOWER LOCAL EXCELLENCE.

Their deep local roots and commitment to the community align perfectly with how I serve my clients.”
