The Brink Team at Down Home Realty & Property Management, LLC in Goldsboro, North Carolina, is a close-knit group of real estate professionals who believe in doing business the right way—with honesty, transparency, and a servant’s heart. Led by husband and wife, Jonathan and Heather Brink, this team is grounded in faith, family values, and a genuine love for helping others find their place to call home. With deep roots in the military community—many on the team having grown up in military households or married into military life—they understand the unique challenges of moving often, starting over, and creating a sense of home wherever you are. That shared background allows them to serve military families with understanding, flexibility, and a special kind of care that comes from lived experience.

Heather, born and raised in Wayne County, offers strong local insight and steady leadership with a heart for people and community. Martie Rye brings warmth, high energy, and a deep passion for walking alongside her clients like family—not just closing deals, but building lasting relationships. Maria Cartagena VanVoltenburg has a calm, compassionate spirit and is especially gifted at guiding families through major life transitions with grace and care. Blake Howell, a Wayne County native, is known for his down-to-earth personality, clear communication, and ability to build trust and comfort from the very first meeting. Kristen Ross uses her background in psychology and her nurturing nature to help families find homes that truly suit their values and lifestyles. Lisa Carter brings decades of experience in legal and administrative work, offering steadiness, professionalism, and a genuine heart for service in every transaction.
