About the Schardt – Jorgensen Group

Bret and Greg began their extensive partnership at Coastal Capital Markets (CCM) in 1998. By 2000 they were managing the retail brokerage operations for CCM and served on the board of directors. During their period of management CCM was named to the INC 5000 list as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies in America. CCM was purchased by Ferris Baker Watts in 2004, then Ferris Baker Watts was acquired by RBC Wealth Management in 2008. Through these transitions, Bret and Sue have remained in our Wilmington office. Greg left the coast to start the team's Charlotte office in 2005, eventually adding Kelly and later Brooke. We currently serve clients across the United States out of both locations.
