Your Trusted Real Estate Expert in Fayetteville & Fort Bragg, NC
Joey Short is a fourth-generation real estate professional serving the greater Fayetteville, Fort Bragg, Hope Mills, Raeford, Spring Lake, and Hoke County areas. With deep family roots in local real estate dating back to the 1960s, Joey combines generational knowledge, modern strategy, and unmatched service to help buyers and sellers achieve their goals.

A Legacy Built on Local Experience
Real estate is truly “in his blood.” Joey’s great-grandfather and grandfather built successful careers in Fayetteville, and today Joey continues the tradition while helping oversee the family’s long-standing property management company. This gives him a unique advantage: decades of market insight, neighborhood familiarity, and local connection that national agents simply can’t match.

Serving Military Families & PCS Moves to Fort Bragg
As a long-time Fayetteville resident and supporter of the Fort Bragg community, Joey specializes in helping military families relocate to and from Fort Bragg. He understands PCS timelines, housing allowances, VA loans, and the pressures families face when moving on short notice. Whether buying or selling, he provides a smooth, stress-free experience backed by Coldwell Banker Advantage’s exceptional resources.

Buyer & Seller Representation You Can Count On
Joey works with:

• First-time home buyers
• Military relocations (PCS & ETS)
• Repeat buyers
• Move-up sellers
• Investors and rental property owners
• Land and rural property clients
• Farm, homestead, and acreage buyers

He brings a rare combination of agricultural knowledge, business experience, and residential expertise to every transaction. Before real estate, Joey owned a hunting and fishing supply store, managed a sow farm, and supervised multiple turkey farms.

Life in the Fayetteville Area
Joey and his wife — an associate veterinarian — live on the outskirts of town with their two children (and one on the way), along with a dog, cat, goats, and chickens. They enjoy the pace, the people, and the community.

Your Guide to the Perfect Fayetteville Home
Joey believes every family has a story, and every move has a purpose. His mission is to help clients find the perfect home that fits their lifestyle, budget, and next chapter.

If you’re ready to buy, sell, invest, or relocate to the Fayetteville or Fort Bragg area, Joey is ready to help.
