Our Team

Executive Properties is owned by Bruce and Melanie Gates who are both Goldsboro/Wayne County Realtors. In addition, they are a retired military husband and wife real estate team with strong personal ties to Goldsboro and to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and the military families that reside in our area. We strongly believe that our military background helps us to be better real estate professionals, and has given us the ability to help our clients overcome any challenges associated with their pursuit of the American Dream.


From our family to yours, we can’t wait for the opportunity to get started helping you to achieve your real estate goals.

Michael Gates, Marketing Manager


Michael Gates is the Marketing Manager for Executive Properties. Michael handles our website content and placement, online marketing, flyers, drone and digital photography, and more. This is not his full-time role, as he primarily works in the technology space for an AI accounting software startup. He works behind the scenes but is an integral part of what makes our company so successful in the marketplace.
