Allow me to introduce Colony Realty’s newest member: Sylvia Mattingly.  We’re so excited to have her on our team as a buyer’s agent. 

Sylvia is eager to help people make their real estate dreams come true. So if you’ve ever thought about owning property on the Outer Banks, please get in touch with her. She would be more than happy to help in any way possible. 

Sylvia has been a resident of Hatteras Island for the past 25 years, and while she isn’t new to real estate, she is very excited to be joining our team. Sylvia has always had strong business aspirations, having been an entrepreneur at Equine Adventures for 18 years. 

When it comes to why clients should work with Sylvia as a buyer’s agent, she says, “It’s very important for buyers to have their own representation.”

“I want to represent you, provide quality information, and help you make an informed decision when purchasing real estate on Hatteras Island,” Sylvia continued. 

Those of you who have past experience in buying real estate will know that pitfalls can sometimes occur during the process. The cost of flood insurance for different areas, for example, can sometimes pose an issue for buyers. 

Sylvia is eager to help people make their real estate dreams come true.

Buyers thinking of purchasing property in areas such as the village of Avon need to realize the additional costs associated with living in certain flood zones. These zones were remapped in 2008, and certain zones can be very expensive in terms of flood insurance. 

When you work with Sylvia, you can be confident in her ability to identify and work through these kinds of pitfalls. She will help you narrow down the properties you’re interested in before your first meeting. To achieve this, the process might involve Sylvia visiting properties to preview them for you. 

This “boots-on-the-ground” approach is greatly helpful in the real estate process. The internet is obviously an amazing tool, but it still isn’t able to show you every aspect of a property you may be interested in. This is exactly why it’s so important that Sylvia makes a point to visit properties for her clients, to preview them in person. 

I think Sylvia is going to bring a dynamic aspect to our team. You can text or call Sylvia at (252) 996-5208 or email her at sylvia@colonyrealtycorp.com

And as always, if you have any other questions for me or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
