My name is Crawford Bolton and I am the Tax Administrator for Wilson County. I have over four and a half years of property assessment and valuation experience, along with 9 years of customer service and managerial experience. I enjoy using my skills and knowledge to help serve the citizens on Wilson to the best of my ability. I graduated from Mount Olive College in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Human Resources. I enjoy spending time with my wife and two kids, traveling, hiking, and supporting the Carolina Panthers.

My name is Tiffany Hill and I moved from Hutchinson, KS to Rocky Mount, NC with my husband Brett in September of 2011. In 2014 we got into the real estate business together. After 6 years of working for the top producing firm in Rocky Mount, we decided to step out & start a firm of our own.

In October 2020 we started 1st Class Real Estate-Triangle East with basically just my husband running the entire business because our son, Lowen had just been born in March. Yes, we decided to start a business right in the middle of the pandemic – and with a new baby. We’re apparently always up for a challenge.

As of today we have 25 agents with various levels of experience and between them putting multi-million dollars under contract each month. Our offices are located at the Rocky Mount Mills. We offer weekly in person training, a growth track & opportunities for agents to build their own teams or even start their own firms. We count it a privilege to serve our local communities with this business.

I was born and raised in Raleigh and graduated from NC State in May. While at NC State I worked at the students newspaper, Technician.. The last three of those years I worked as one of the sports editors. I covered every NC State sport a fair bit, but primarily worked with the school’s soccer teams and the two local pro soccer teams.

My name is Taylor Barbee and I moved back to my hometown of Wilson nearly two years ago. I graduated from Hunt High School in 2011 and headed to Wilmington to attend UNCW. After three short years, I made the decision to drop out of school and pursue a career in the service industry. By the time I was 22, I had been promoted to Assistant Manager and by 24, I was the General Manager for a multimillion dollar seafood restaurant. When COVID made it’s appearance, my love for this industry started to fizzle out. So in 2020, and after many years of pleading, I decided to move back home and work for the family business, Construct Inc.

The 40 hour a week desk job just wasn’t fulfilling enough, so I dove headfirst back into the industry and picked up a bartending job as well. Through that job, I met so many wonderful people. These supportive people pushed me to open up my first business, Breakroom Jerky, which quickly turned into a local hit.

Squirrell Dogs, Rabbit Dogs, Deer Dogs, Fisherman, Forester, Gardener, Beekeeper. I have spent my entire life in the fields, forests, and waterways of Nash, Wilson, Edgecombe, Franklin, Warren, Northampton, & Halifax Counties.
