OBX Real Estate - October, 2024

The Town of Duck, NC has a Sound Front Boardwalk!

The charming Village of Duck has always been a “must visit” location for vacationers. Also, there are Beach Vacation Rental Homes in Duck and many home buyers chose Duck for the reason of how popular it is who get to experience that charm, too. Both owners of properties in Duck and Vacationers arrive for the wonderful restaurants and quaint “Mom & Pop” specialty retail and gift shops dotted around the “heart” of the village area of Duck.

Within the past several years the well managed Town of Duck made a fantastic decision to add a Sound Front Boardwalk that connects many of the shops, restaurants, the Town Park and some businesses. This means an enjoyable stroll literally on top of the marshy sound front as a “nature walk” choice to navigate one’s…

STOP PAYING FOR VACATIONS – BUY A BEACH HOUSE WITH FRIENDS/FAMILY & RENT IT TO OTHERS THAT WANT TO VACATION AT THE OBX!

Many people have vacationed with family and friends in the Outer Banks. They do it year after year and some end up buying a beach home. What if the entire group decided it was time to own a beach house, they could use a few times a year and rent to vacationers like they used to be?

Isn’t it a fine opportunity for us to learn from the smartest of the smart? We could succeed at the levels we have seen others do if we learned how they did it, agree? The old saying “Two Heads are better than one” comes to mind when a goal of success is the mission. Even more than “two heads” could…

The Outer Banks of NC is Unique, Relaxing and Special

Many who are reading this have been to the wonderful Outer Banks of NC. Some have not. Either way, when one gets on the topic of the OBX it usually connects to the feeling of a beach experience thought or memory before all else. But, take a moment to think upon this name for a moment ……” Outer Banks”.

There is an air of uniqueness, mystery and “relaxation” to the actual name….OUTER BANKS……which is confirmed due to how detached it is from mainland living! It is literally a string of islands for the most part. Yes, there is Mainland OBX on the Northen and Mid-portion. The Northern part is connected to the mainland of NC as well as Virginia! The mid-portion roads lead out to the piedmont of NC. There are ferries that connect the string of islands from…

Where can I find the perfect Outer Banks property?

The best questions I hear as an Outer Banks Real Estate professional always come from the buyers who have the normal apprehensions about buying in a beach community. These include, “Where can I find the perfect Outer Banks property?” as well as others. But the “PERFECT PROPERTY” question is one of the top ones, for sure! How is this answered?

My immediate response to my clients when I get asked this is all about, first, their goal or intended use of the home/property. You see, there are several segments or levels of homes and locations.  A buyer’s plan will always pertain to a specific envisioned use. Answering one question with another is not always the best way but in this case it is.

What is your goal when you see yourself in an Outer Banks Beach…
