Have you ever vacationed to the wonderful Outer Banks of NC and considered owning a beach house like the one you vacationed in? Many have made this decision with a result of realization they are so happy they did! Then, when they see that Beach House Key Chain hanging with the rest they know they can make that trip for a weekend or when they plan that full family vacation. The sweetest part for many that choose this is, if they place the home with a Property Management Company, most to all (in some cases) of the expenses associated with ownership are covered!

Look, I will not tell you this is something that all people are built for especially when you rent it out to vacationers. The truth is that some folks treat it like a business and others are…

Who has the better Outer Banks Market Position? Buyers or Sellers?

Sunset at the OBX


The market seems to be benefiting both sellers and buyers. I know that may sound a bit confusing but let me explain and show in my delivery here a subject that shows the balance, if some elements are sought and identified, can tip to the buyer side.

The longer days on the market presently, than in the past 2 or 3 years, have shown that sellers must adjust their price downward to get buyers to move. Combining this with lax level activity from buyers due to lending rates remaining higher than preferred means better deals are being made by the smarter buyer strategies.

The sellers are still seeing the lowest number of inventories for years and therein lies their beneficial…

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…

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…

puppy on beachThe 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…

From Your Outer Banks Connection - "Is an Outer Banks income producing property better than The stock market?" 



It seems no matter who wins, the stock market will be as fickle as ever. The lack of volume and record days of consecutive losses has us wondering what is next. Many experts are admitting that stocks are overvalued and a large adjustment is looming.

Look, I am not about spreading worrisome and upsetting news. However, what I am about is informing and educating during this timing to show you opportunity that is about tangible and is actual property that produces steady and strong income. And, these properties have the added benefits of YOU actually getting true and real enjoyment from as well as tax benefits.*

The Benefits of Buying New Construction on the Outer Banks

Posted by Mike B. Nov. 9, 2017


Getting educated about the inventory here on the OBX is cause to realize it has a lot of diversity. From the simple beach boxes that are among the earliest rental cottages built here to the oceanfront estate level homes…..and to everything in between…..we see homes that are weathered and charming to brand new & in sync with traditional architectural features that are defined by coastal living.   When I show property to folks looking to invest into the resort rental segment, 2nd home market or primary living due to moving here many do not realize how close in price a brand new home is to one that may be 20+ years old.   outer-banks-beach-house_1200    Also, when they…
