Richard was my agent when buying my home a little over five years ago and again selling the same home this year. He is extremely knowledgeable of the entire Outer Banks real estate market. He assists in every aspect when buying or selling. I have worked with other real estate agents before and Richard is by far the most knowledgeable and kindest agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

I’ve bought and sold many properties and worked with many realtors. Richard is absolutely one of the best realtors I’ve ever worked with, a true professional and made both the buying process 8 years ago and selling process this year both easy and enjoyable. I wouldn’t even consider working with anyone else in the OBX.
