About the host
Hosted by Delaney Dunne
I lived in Wilmington, NC before moving to DC. I work for a small tech startup but I am passionate about real estate and providing the best experiences for my guests. I have a dog named Rufus who is pictured in the photo and weighs about 80 pounds more. I love spending time with my family and friends, traveling to new places, and reading a good book.
Why they chose this property
The Empie-Possion is special to me because it's nestled in the heart of historic downtown Wilmington. I truly think it is so special to travel somewhere where you know millions of stories and memories live there and you can have your own part in it's unique history.
