Although Nate Carithers was born in Florida, growing up he lived in multiple states including Colorado, California, and Washington. After graduating high school, he made the decision to enlist in the Marine Corps, following in the footsteps of his older brother, father, grandfather, and uncles who also served in the armed forces. After four years of service as an Infantryman, Nate left the Marine Corps to pursue college in Florida. In November 2001, he was one of many to be summoned back to service by Presidential recall to aid in the defense of the country after the tragic events of 9/11. Nate would not return to the civilian sector until his retirement 17 years later.
In 2002 he met a beautiful Italian girl from New York who left her extremely tight knit family and friends to begin the challenging adventure of becoming a military spouse. One of the first things they did was purchase a home in Stafford, VA. It was a scary decision at first, but after one of his Marine mentors explained the value of home ownership, they jumped in. This initial investment paved the way to their successful financial future, and they were going to need it.
In 2009 while serving on recruiting duty in Shreveport, LA, their daughter joined their family. They then moved to their current residence in Sneads Ferry, NC in 2011. A little over a year later they were blessed with their son. Literally, one half hour after his birth, Nate kissed his wife, daughter, and brand-new son goodbye and departed for Afghanistan, leaving his wife all by her lonesome with a three-year-old who would not go to sleep and a newborn that would not stay asleep and liked to wake up early. Being a military spouse is one of those tough, thankless duties that most cannot understand. He understands the struggles and difficulties that are organic to military life.
Nate’s favorite part of being a Marine was being able to take the lessons and experiences that he learned and pass them on to younger Marines. By joining The Oceanaire Realty, he will still have that opportunity by helping families and individuals navigate through the process of buying a home. The Oceanaire Realty was his first choice. Nate had heard from friends about Doug Yopp, his budding new firm of close-knit brokers, and their diligent work ethic in serving clients. This was something Nate wanted to be a part of - a brokerage family that works together to build lasting relationships with the families they serve.
Nate’s mission is to assist people in finding the success and happiness that he enjoys. He chose a career at The Oceanaire Realty because it allows him to put his family first. It also allows him time to enjoy hunting, fishing, golfing, and coaching youth sports. Most importantly, it continues to give Nate a sense of fulfillment and pride by helping others become homeowners.
