Stan is an experienced real estate professional with a history in the industry dating back to his college days in May of 1979 when he was licensed during his senior year at North Carolina State University. Since that time, his career has been marked by a passion for helping clients navigate the complex and diverse world of real estate, ensuring their investments are profitable and structured in the right way. Helped by his degree in Agricultural Economics from NC State University and a minor in Animal Science, he has a unique understanding of agriculture in Southeastern North Carolina. Combined with his love for the outdoors, hunting and fishing, he became proficient in representing sellers of large tracts of farmland, timberland and recreational/hunting properties. After moving back to his childhood home in Duplin County, he diversified expertise even more in the insurance industry through his family business and established his own real estate company. This allowed him to offer a more multifaceted approach to real estate and to offer clients a comprehensive solution tailored to their specific needs.

​

In 1986, this company became what is now known as Draughon Realty & Appraisal - performing residential and commercial appraisals for hundreds of clients each year as well as specializing in brokerage of complex farm properties involving large land tracts and livestock facilities. While his experience is unmatched in Southeastern North Carolina, he has stayed mainly with his first love of the outdoors and helping rural participants in the farming and land business realize their goals of ownership. As a Certified General Appraiser and a member of the Rural Farm Managers and Appraisers, his knowledge of the real estate market in rural southeastern NC is unmatched. By being a large landowner, farmer, and owner/operator of livestock operations as well as several other businesses, he has a unique insight into real estate in southeastern NC.

​

Known for honesty, integrity, and providing straightforward answers to client’s problems and needs, Stan believes in always working for you the seller to maximize the potential profit from the operation or sale of your assets.  His network of contacts with other professionals in the real estate industry can help solve problems including timber valuations, surveys, and alternative marketing solutions like auction sales. His firsthand knowledge of land rental rates and farm leasing, swine and poultry contracts, and building cost give his clients access to multifaceted real estate solutions.
