Happy New Year! We hope your holiday season was filled with joy, and we wish you a 2026 marked by health, happiness, and prosperity. Though 2025 presented its challenges for the real estate market, the OBX Homes Team was honored to assist our clients—both buyers and sellers—through successful transactions. We concluded the year with over $26 million in sales and an average transaction price exceeding $1.5 million. It was a dynamic and rewarding year, and we are truly grateful for the relationships we’ve built along the way. As we look ahead to 2026, we are excited to continue delivering a thoughtful, elevated real estate experience while continuing to serve the Outer Banks with the insight, care, and local expertise our clients expect.
We are thrilled to share some exciting news — after thirty wonderful years working with two incredible real estate companies and learning from some of the best in the business, we are taking the next step and launching OBX Homes as an independent firm! This new chapter is the natural next evolution of our passion for real estate and commitment to our clients. While the name on the sign will be new, our dedication, professionalism, and personal service will remain exactly the same — and, in fact, this move allows us even greater flexibility to serve you with the attention and care you deserve.
We are deeply grateful for the trust and support so many of you have shown us over the years. Every transaction, every referral, and every friendship has helped shape this moment, and we couldn’t be more excited to continue working with you under our own banner.
Please know that we are still just a phone call, text, or email away for any of your real estate needs.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us and we can’t wait to see what’s next!
We have a small favor to ask. If you haven’t already, we would be so grateful if you’d consider leaving a review for the OBX Homes Team on Zillow and Realtor.com. Your kind words truly mean a great deal to us, and they help others feel confident when choosing a team they can trust. It takes just a moment to leave a review or rating on our team profile (simply search under agents). For those who have already taken the time to share their experience, thank you!
We are sincerely appreciative of your support!
Just a friendly note heading into a prime selling season—a time when more listings tend to come on the market as homeowners start making pre-season plans and consider their next steps. We continue to hear from several homeowners who were contacted by agents claiming to have a potential buyer, but in some cases, the conversation shifted toward listing the property instead. The reason we mention it now is simply to remind you that if you’re ever approached directly by an agent or potential buyer, it’s a smart idea to check in with us or another trusted agent for a fair market assessment or possible sales price. Best of all, it costs you nothing and ensures you have an accurate, up-to-date understanding of your home’s value so you don’t sell yourself short. We’re always here as a resource if you have any questions or would like a complimentary, no-obligation market analysis.
If you’re contemplating selling, looking to buy, or have friends or family interested, please feel free to reach out to us. We can offer a complimentary market analysis to sellers for your property, or include potential buyers in auto-email notifications tailored to specific properties. Additionally, if you’re unable to visit in person, we provide virtual showings and are happy to preview homes for you, sending detailed notes. Whether your real estate needs span the globe for personal use or investment, we’re here to help. Our team is equipped to deliver an enjoyable experience wherever you are. Reach out today, and let’s make your real estate dreams a reality.
Please don’t hesitate to call or email us if you have any questions or should you need anything at all.
