Last year was a great year for Colony Realty. I want to take a moment to look back on our successes and give thanks to all those we were able to help and those who were able to help us. 

As you may recall, I was the 2017 president of the Outer Banks Association of Realtors. This position required a lot of time and energy being spent both in and out of the Outer Banks area over the course of the year. In the midst of those duties, my team was still able to serve our customers day in and day out and help them buy and sell many homes.  

Once the 2017 numbers came in, it was revealed that we were still among the top 25 highest-selling agents in the Outer Banks. On the southern beaches of the Outer Banks, we were among the top four. In my hometown, we stayed ranked No. 1 in terms of both units sold and the total volume of sales. 

What’s the difference between unit sales and the total volume of sales? A unit sold represents a buyer buying a home and/or a seller selling a home. The total volume of sales represents the dollar amount of those sales. I don’t set yearly goals based on dollars, though. I like working with people. It doesn’t matter to me whether you want to buy or sell a $150,000 home or one worth $2 million. 

We’re always looking to help you fulfill your real estate dream.

I’ve been a real estate agent since the fall of 1998, so I’ve been doing this a long time. Along with that tenure comes experience and wisdom relating to our market. We’re always looking to help you fulfill your dream of owning a home on the Outer Banks or divesting yourself from one, if need be. If you’re one of the people who allowed us to serve your real estate needs in 2017, I want to thank you personally. Although our team didn’t accomplish every goal we set out to achieve last year, we were still very successful. 

For 2018, we’ve set a goal of 50 transaction sides. If you’re looking to sell a property on the Outer Banks, I’d like to apply for the job of being your Realtor. There are many things Colony Realty (and our sales team, specifically) can do that make us different from other agents, including our excellent communication. We can keep you informed during the entire home sale process, give you an estimation of your home’s value, and provide a time frame of the sale itself. 

Now that I’ve passed the gavel to 2018 president of the Outer Banks Association of Realtors, I want to say that I was thankful for the opportunity to serve our association and all of our clients and customers. 

As always, if you have any real estate questions or you’re looking to buy or sell a home in the Outer Banks area, don’t hesitate to give me a call or shoot me an email. I’d love to help you.
