Despite the buyer's market of the past few years, we are seeing encouraging signs that a new cycle of growth in the Island's real estate may be forming. Research reports point to a significant increase in sales as the baby boom generation matures and focuses its buying power on vacation property. In Addition, a recent survey by the National Association of Realtors (registered sign) reflected a very positive change in sentiment between January 2006 and April 2006 concerning the percentage of second-home owners who plan to purchase additional property in the next two years. This is great news for Hatteras Island!
If you are a property owner, our sales staff would like to talk with you concerning the probable sale price of your home or lot and your interest in selling. You will find that our comprehensive marketing plan is designed to produce results.
The Outer Beaches Advantage!
Consider the benefits of listing your property through Outer Beaches Realty:
Successful marketing requires the exposure of your property to large numbers of prospective buyers. Outer Beaches is in touch with a vast number of people and each one is a potential buyer. Outer Beaches Realty is among the largest rental programs on Hatteras Island- over 500 cottages. Over 10,000 reservations each year are taken and 100,000 rental brochures are distributed annually.
Wherever a prospective buyer is located on the island, Outer Beaches has an office to serve their needs. Having an office close to your cottage enhances marketing results because most people tend to look for properties in the vicinity of the office they contact. At the same time, Outer Beaches has the opportunity to capture additional buyers through its other offices. Outer Beaches Realty has offices in Waves, Avon and Hatteras Village.
Outer Beaches Realty has a comprehensive advertising program. Ongoing advertising in the Island Breeze, Outer Banks Home Tour, Homes and Land magazine and a number of other publications promotes your property through combined monthly distributions, which may surpass 80,000 copies.
Outer Beaches has a sales staff of nine full time agents. Therefore, whenever or wherever a prospective buyer makes an inquiry, Outer Beaches has a full time, trained sales representative ready to meet their needs.
Prospective buyers frequently end up purchasing property in places that are different from their initial area of interest. Outer Beaches Realty has a membership in the Outer Banks Association of Realtors® Multiple Listing Service. Through this Multiple Listing Service we are able to provide your property with exposure to over 1,000 agents and affiliates from Corolla to Hatteras Village.
Outer Beaches Realty is highly regarded for the quality of its support staff and the friendly manner in which they interact with everyone they meet. People like to do business with people they like. Our staff is friendly and well trained. Outer Beaches' reputation for hospitality is an important asset, which has positive benefits for the effective marketing of your cottage.
