Sweet tea on a hot summer day. That’s the vibe. 🍋☀️

Welcome The Virginian at Duck to the Beach Realty family! A classic Duck beach house tucked away with just a short walk to the ocean. The kind of place families return to year after year because it simply feels like home. We’re honored the owners chose Beach Realty to help share it with future guests.

🚨 Y'ALL. IT'S FINALLY LIVE. 🚨

This has been living in my brain for a long time, and today it's officially out in the world.

Beach Realty's brand-new Rental Income Estimator is now live! 🎉

This isn't a projection tool built on generic third-party data 😒 It's a proprietary Beach Realty tool, powered by REAL Outer Banks rental data we've collected and analyzed ourselves. That means more local insight and no outside assumptions.

I have to give the BIGGEST shoutout to the absolute BEST marketing team around. They somehow took the endless stream of ideas bouncing around in my head and turned them into a real, functioning tool that's now helping owners, buyers, and agents make informed decisions. You all crushed it. 👏

I'm ridiculously proud of this one 💙

Strong representation at the 2026 Legislative Meetings and RPAC Reception last week in Raleigh! 👏

REALTORS® from across North Carolina came together to discuss issues impacting our industry before heading to the General Assembly to meet directly with legislators and advocate for private property rights, homeownership, and the future of real estate in our state.

Proud to be part of the conversation.

Are you an owner that feels like your PM doesn’t take this seriously?

We do. Come talk to us & why we help protect your home 🏠

Friendly Beach Week PSA:

Bad vacation decisions used to live in disposable cameras. Now they live on smart phones, security cameras, and the internet. 😅

Beach Realty rents to family groups only. Guests who violate the lease are subject to eviction.

Have fun. Be smart. Make good choices.

Honored to represent the Outer Banks Association of REALTORS® alongside Stephanie at Manteo High School, where we had the privilege of presenting scholarships to this year’s recipients.

Since 1994, OBAR has remained committed to supporting local students through its partnership with the Outer Banks Community Foundation, with the Scholarship Committee carefully reviewing applicants each year.

It’s incredibly rewarding to play a role in recognizing and investing in the future of our community. Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients—we’re excited to see what’s ahead for you.
