TLDR: You found your Realtor - Kasey is the best Absolutely class to work with. She was patient as we took our time finding the right property for us, both open to what we were looking for, but also set realistic expectations up front. It's clear she knows the market. We had a difficult experience with the seller, but Kasey helped us navigate the process and curveballs. She was in constant communication throughout every step of the process. I'm sure there are plenty of other great realtors in OBX, but we couldn't imagine anyone being better than Kasey.

TLDR: Kasey KILLED IT and you're doing yourself a disservice if you go with anyone else on the beach. She's passionate about what she does and it shows every step along the way. Her, her entire team, her photographer, even down to the closing law firm she chose were all amazing. Full review: Kasey was BEYOND amazing. So to start, I picked Kasey to interview as our realtor because I knew her. While I didn't know how great of a realtor she was, I knew her well enough to know her character and I trusted that part about her. My husband was slightly apprehensive about choosing someone we knew solely because we knew them. As sellers, the realtor portion of closing costs is a significant investment so he felt it was crucial that we were paying someone who was going to be worth the expense. I told him if he didn't feel comfortable with her after he met her, then we could shop around some more. Let me tell you, she met and exceeded all of our expectations! Beginning from her first time checking out the house, she showed her knowledge and value. She was always honest if there was anything that she wasn't part of her profession and we needed to seek outside counsel. (For instance, questions about the loan itself). I think it's admirable when people know their limits and ensure you seek the right professional for issues outside of their wheelhouse. She explained the market (the beach market is like no other), gave us a suggested selling price range, and listened to us about our desires and opinions. Then as a team, we came up with a listing price (higher than her original suggested range), a timeline to get the house on the market, and a game plan if our house didn't get the response we were hoping. After we did our part (staging and deep cleaning), she sent out a photographer. The photographer not only took amazing pics, but he also sent out a drone and got some amazing sunset views as well. In the meantime, Kasey wrote out a thorough, well thought-out listing description that almost sold my house back to me! I had to keep reminding myself I was moving to be closer to family. Reading her description and looking at the pictures made me want to stay! It's frustrating when you are looking for a home and the listing descriptions are short and leave much to be desired. Once the the home hit the market, it was a blur. Within 24 hours, we had multiple (at- and above-asking price) offers. She professionally handled the offers, gave us thorough explanations for our 55,000 questions, and had us under contract in 3 days. Since we had a few offers over asking, she helped us weigh out our options and helped us make sure we chose the most solid offer. I wish the stress of selling ended there, but as you know, there comes inspections and more negotiations. But we were oddly calm throughout the process. I give credit for the peace to God (we knew He was going to take care of us) and Kasey (she was amazing at answering our questions and helping us negotiate the post-inspection negotiations). We had the smoothest house-selling process (even though it was a whirlwind). We were under contract in 3 days and closed in 38 days after that. I can't rave about her professionalism enough. As I stated in the beginning, I knew she had good character, but we were blown away by her professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness, etc. As I told her when everything was all said and done, I wish I had 11 more houses so I could work with her each month for the rest of the year. If you're not sure about who to choose to help you buy or sell your house in the Outer Banks, or you're teetering between a few, give Kasey a call and let her ease your fears. Keep in mind, the market on the beach is much different than markets in "regular" areas. As a vacation destination, things are different than primarily residential areas, so go with someone who really understand that market! PS. She was well worth the expense. ??

I can’t say enough good things about Kasey! She is an expert to the OBX market and was so knowledgeable when answering each of our questions. Kasey kept us informed every step of the way. Within a day of being under contract, Kasey had already reached out to schedule our inspections, get insurance quotes, and connected with the closing attorney on our behalf. She truly made the stressful process of home buying be as stress-free as it could be!

We set out to buy an investment property in the Outer Banks that would be a great income producer AND place that we could enjoy as a family. Kasey was unbelievably patient and responsive, sending me info on every single property I had even the slightest interest in and giving her honest opinions as we went along. She even took videos of several properties since we live 3+ hours away, helping us view different ones without having to make the trip. Our transaction ended up being more difficult than expected due to complications with a sale we were doing in a different state, with many, many moments of uncertainty and stress. But Kasey remained calm and professional, always supportive and helpful, even with multiple extensions on closing. In the end, we are beyond happy with our purchase and experience, and we have already used the property as a family (while getting it ship-shape for renters). It is in the perfect location with the best view — it’s everything we hoped for! We are proud to be OBX owners, excited for the future, and grateful for Kasey. We would call on her to represent us again without a doubt.

Kasey helped me navigate a difficult market and ultimately land on a great property. She also was able to negotiate a 50k credit for us! Kasey made the process very easy with her responsiveness and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Kasey to anyone looking in obx!
