Nancy moved to coastal Carolina in 1999 with her husband, Darrell Wiard; where they enjoy all aspects of waterfront living. She has lived, cruiseds and sailed almost all of the East Coast and the ICW (including extensive time in Long Island, Florida and the Keys), most of the Caribbean, and selected areas of the West Coast and Mexico. Although there is much to like in these areas, she feels her decision to live and work in Coastal Carolina was the best decision she could make.
Her expertise is in quality waterfront residential properties of the Inner Banks of North Carolina (towns of New Bern and Oriental) and coastal communities of Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, and Morehead City, all in Carteret county. In the “Inner Banks” they offer tens of thousands of square miles of coastal cruising and waterfront living without the direct exposure to the open ocean that one might experience living on the beach. They chose Oriental, NC as their home because it is the “Sailing Capitol” of NC. For many years they campaigned a Pearson Ensign in one-design racing, winning the Oriental Cup in their class before retiring from active racing.
She works as a team with her husband, Darrell Wiard, who also has an extensive knowledge of many of the coastal areas of the East Coast. With her assistance, he also is an excellent agent.
She attended Kansas State University, and have worked in commercial real estate and residential real estate, as well as using her accounting education for over 10 years as controller and accounting supervisor for an international manufacturing company in Kansas City.
In Pamlico County, in addition to her work experience; she has been a director and board member of Hospice, Pamlico County Arts Council, and The Old Theatre Corporation, which is a non-profit corporation and offers plays, musicals, Friday night movies and other events. Nancy was honored to be President of the Board for Old Theatre Corp for 4 years.
The Inner Banks is a wonderful place to live and enjoy the water. They sail, cruise, fish, crab, shrimp, grow oysters, and many days just sit on their dock at sunset, sip a Mount Gay and take in the scenery. Nancy hopes she can help new clients find a spot in Coastal Carolina.
