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 House?
- Is it because you always wanted that special beach cottage as a Second Home to build family memories?
- Is this all about investment and you want an income producing property by renting to weekly vacationers?
- Are you interested in relocating to the wonderful Outer Banks to live and work, or maybe retire here?
So, the accomplishment of finding the perfect OBX Property creates the question to their envisioned use of the Outer Banks Beach home. This simplifies the process when a buyer does this. You want to know why? Well, that is because of location choices. There are better locations for envisioned uses shared above.
Homes closest to the ocean are always rented more productively (number of weeks and highest rates) for the reason of beach access proximity. Some folks are not okay with their Second Home or Primary Home near an area with many rental homes due to an atmosphere of vacationer activity all week long. There are so many choices of year-round communities that are only minutes away from the ocean beach access.
When you use my services as a great, well experienced OBX real estate agent, I can navigate this topic with you clearly and effectively. Once I’ve assisted you target the envisioned use and goals of owning a beach home, I will match you with YOUR perfect Outer Banks Property.
