Testimonials

My husband and I were fortunate to meet Stacy Baittinger relatively early in our search for a beach house in Duck, NC.  We were specifically looking in Duck, but Stacey demonstrated knowledge of all of the OBX beaches and communities.  She is very familiar with all of the neighborhoods in Duck and was able to provide invaluable information for us to select the perfect home.  After our first couple of meetings with Stacey, we knew that we wanted to stick with her through the search and purchase process.  Stacey met with us numerous times, and was always very happy to accommodate our scheduling requests to see homes.  She learned quickly what we were looking for because she listened to us and directed us to homes that were a good fit.  In addition to her knowledge of the OBX area, Stacey brings a diverse body of information to the table when showing a house.  She has background knowledge that contributes to identifying safety and maintenance issues for the interior and exterior of homes, and shares her knowledge freely.  We knew quite early that we not only trusted her, but considered Stacey to be a friend.  I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone who is interested in finding, and feeling great about an OBX purchase.
