A Note from Jake’s Desk

At Spence Real Estate, we believe real estate is about people, places, and what comes next.

As an independent, locally owned brokerage, we’re deeply rooted in the coastal Delaware community we call home. Our focus is straightforward: provide thoughtful, personalized service with an unwavering attention to detail. We take the time to listen, understand your goals, and guide you with honest advice and local insight—whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring what’s possible.

This isn’t a high-volume, one-size-fits-all approach. We’re a boutique brokerage, which means you get a more personal experience, direct communication, and someone who’s invested in your success from start to finish.

Our clients include longtime locals, second-home owners, and those discovering our area for the first time. No matter your story, our goal is the same: to make your real estate experience seamless, rewarding, and genuinely enjoyable.

Thank you for considering Spence Real Estate. We’d be honored to be part of your next chapter.

Get to Know Your Broker

My family’s connection to Fenwick Island goes back to the 1950s, when they built a beach cottage here. I spent my summers growing up in Fenwick, eventually becoming a Fenwick Island lifeguard and working at local favorites like Libby’s. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the area and the people who make it special.

Over the years, I’ve called Wilmington, NC, Charleston, SC, and Baltimore, MD home. Each place gave me a different perspective, but Delaware’s Coast always felt like home. Eventually, my wife and I decided to move our family back to the area we love and raise our two boys here.

Today, I’m proud to help both longtime locals and new neighbors find their place along the Delaware coast—whether that’s a year-round home, a summer retreat, or an investment for the future.
