About Liz
For nearly 30 years, I've had the privilege of helping buyers, sellers, and investors achieve their real estate goals throughout the Outer Banks and Northeastern North Carolina. As Broker-in-Charge of OBX4SALE Real Estate Group, I combine decades of experience with a commitment to providing honest advice, clear communication, and exceptional service from our first conversation through closing—and beyond.
Whether you're searching for an oceanfront retreat, a primary residence, a second home, or an investment property, I understand the unique opportunities and challenges of buying and selling in our coastal market. From flood insurance and coastal construction to private wells, septic systems, rental income potential, and North Carolina's due diligence process, I help my clients make informed decisions with confidence.
I proudly serve clients throughout the Outer Banks, including Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, Manteo, and Hatteras Island, as well as the growing communities of Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Gates, and Hertford Counties. I also work with many buyers relocating from Virginia, helping make their transition to coastal North Carolina as seamless as possible.
One of the most rewarding parts of my career is helping first-time homebuyers. I believe that an educated client is an empowered client, which is why I invest so much time creating educational resources and guiding buyers and sellers through every step of the process.
My business is built on long-term relationships, not just transactions. Many of my clients become repeat customers and refer their family and friends because they know they'll receive straightforward advice, strong negotiation, and a level of service that doesn't end at closing.
If you're considering buying, selling, or investing in the Outer Banks or Northeastern North Carolina, I'd be honored to help you achieve your real estate goals.

Liz's Reviews
6/8/26Mark Swink

Working with Elizabeth “Liz” Holterhaus was one of the best decisions we made when selling our home. From day one, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. No question ever went unanswered, and she was always available when we needed guidance or reassurance.
Liz truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Selling a home can be stressful, but she handled every detail with care and kept everything moving smoothly.
By the end of the journey, she was more than just our real estate agent, she became a trusted friend. We wouldn’t consider using anyone else in North Carolina. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers results, Liz is the only agent to call. 🏡✨

Working with Liz made a very overwhelming process easy and smooth. She walked us through each step, made recommendations for lenders, insurance etc. and stayed in constant communication. I can not recommend her highly enough. We are brand new to the area so having someone like Liz who knows the area so well was an absolute blessing. Her assistant Eileen was incredible too- arranging all of the necessary inspections and let us know what was happening and what we needed to do every step of the way.
