Outer Banks Home Buying Tips

"I first met Holleay in 2003, and I've bought and sold 9 properties with her since then. Holleay has never once sold me; instead, she has informed me so that I can make educated real estate decisions."

"I've known Holleay for years now. She's assisted our family with exactly one dozen transactions to date. Holleay is a true professional - she's knowledgeable about the Obx real estate market, and she's the first to recognize an opportunity."

"When we decided to buy a beach house five hours from our home, we knew that it would be challenging. But Holleay made the entire transaction fun - and successful. She helped us find a beautiful oceanfront home in the perfect location. Then, she shepherded us through the contract negotiation process and ensured that we paid a price with which we were very pleased."

"My wife and I met Holleay 4 and 1/2 years ago. We were looking to buy on the Outer Banks and, by chance, came across a listing she had. I called her to arrange a meeting. We were blown away with her preparation, knowledge and the fact that she made us feel totally comfortable that she was working for US. We have purchased one lot and one house using her expertise."

"We stumbled on to Holleay’s website when we were starting to look at listings in OBX over a year ago. When we read the many testimonials, our first thought was that they were too good to be true. However, there was a consistent theme that seemed genuine. This diverse group of people loved the experience of working with Holleay."

"Holleay made our beach house purchase a wonderful experience. Her knowledge and expertise of real estate transactions on the Outer Banks was phenomenal. Every step of the way she was there to guide us and provide insightful information to make the purchase happen fast and efficiently."

"Based on our specific wants and needs (yet somewhat limited price range), she was able to present us with a sizeable list of Outer Banks homes that fit our desired beach house criteria. As my wife and I poured over the list and began to whittle the field down to the properties of primary interest, Holleay began to enlighten us to the many intricacies of buying a vacation home on the Outer Banks. Her local knowledge, experienced real estate acumen, and plainspoken insight were qualities we benefited from greatly throughout the entire process of finding our new Outer Banks home."

"We purchased our Outer Banks home in Corolla and after doing a search on the internet, we think we struck GOLD when we found Holleay. Being a savvy businesswoman and a true professional, Holleay established trust and credibility over several months before we met her face to face. When we finally met, we felt we had known her for years."

"Holleay, we just wanted to say thank you very much for your help in selling our cottage Family Affair. We were sad to sell our cottage in the summer of 2013 after having had so many happy years there. Although we have never met face to face, I feel like I have known you for years. From the first time we talked on the phone about listing the cottage I knew we would become friends. Then only four days after listing it, the cottage was under contract. (WOW!)"

"After completing FOUR Outer Banks real estate transactions with Holleay, Terri and I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants only the best real estate agent to work with. If you're looking for personal attention, high moral and ethical business dealings and a genuine, plain-spoken friend to help you every step of the way, then give Holleay a call and see for yourself the difference a real pro makes! We would not consider doing business with anyone else."

"I am so thankful that Holleay took me on as a client in this difficult real estate market. My experience with Holleay was exceptional in every way. The listing, selling and closing of my property was accomplished with integrity and the utmost professionalism. Holleay's knowledge of the local market and her marketing strategy made all of the difference. I look forward to working with her again."

"I've known Holleay for ten years, and in that time, I've sold 3 properties and bought 1 with Holleay as my Obx realtor. Holleay recently listed my home in Avalon Beach, and it sold in just 42 days - in this market! I can highly recommend Holleay to you because she has provided excellent service to me time and time again. If you're ready to buy or sell on the Outer Banks, you need Holleay on your side."

"Holleay has been my Obx real estate agent on both the buying and selling ends of the business. She brings it ALL to the table. She offers an array of qualified professional resources - inspectors, lawyers, loan agents, etc. She negotiates aggressively and puts my interests first. She keeps her promises and communicates with me in a timely fashion, and she has a fabulous work ethic."

"We were looking for property on the Outer Banks last winter. I called on a home that happened to be one of Holleay's listings. Holleay answered the phone from that moment we felt completely at ease with her. While that home was not a good fit for us, Holleay showed some she thought might work better. Even before we met, we felt Holleay had a good idea of what we wanted. We soon decided that we needed to build to make our dream home on the Outer Banks a reality. Holleay located a lot that was perfect! She even introduced us to our builder. We are currently building! Holleay has so much energy, is so professional, and she does not stop until she finds you the PERFECT fit."

"We needed to sell our current house in order to buy the one we really wanted...We asked Holleay to help us with the sale of our Outer Banks home, as well as the purchase of the new one. It took just 24 hours after we listed it with Holleay for her to put it under contract, it was her advice direction that produced a buyer quickly. We were able to sell and buy in less than a month. WOW! You will not be disappointed with Holleay. Holleay is our NUMBER ONE Outer Banks Realtor!"

"Describe for Holleay what type of Outer Banks real estate you want to buy, and she will deliver to you all the viable options for your needs. If you want to sell your Outer Banks property, she will do a successful job of representing your interests to get it sold in a timely fashion and at a good price. She has done both for me."

"I have purchased homes in the Corolla NC area, and Holleay has represented me in these dealings. I have found Holleay to be a knowledgeable professional in all aspects of the real estate business. She went above and beyond my expectations to assist me, not only with the purchases, but after she made the sale as well, by continuing to help me with matters in dealing with the local government, as well as securing a rental agency to represent my properties. I would not hesitate to recommend Holleay to anyone interested in buying or selling in the OBX area, and I will be using her on my next investment property as well."

"The purchase of our first vacation Outer Banks rental investment property was accomplished with the help of our buyer's agent, Holleay Parcker. She did her homework and found us exactly what we were looking for in an Obx investment property. We were grateful for her expertise and negotiating skills in writing the contract. Holleay was able to negotiate both price and terms that we are very pleased with! Holleay's professionalism during the closing process was incredible. Her team went into action immediately after the offer was accepted, and 19 days later, we closed, allowing us to reap the financial benefits of high-season rents! Her ability to get our home closed quickly put several thousands of dollars in our pockets that a lengthy closing would have cost us."

"I wanted to sell my Outer Banks property, I'd just received one of Holleay's success postcards, where she'd put a home in my neighborhood under contract in 10 days. I gave her a call, decided to list my home with her. She listed it on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, and put the sign on the property after dark. (I'm convinced Holleay works 24/7!) I couldn't believe it, but FOUR days later, we were under contract! I will recommend Holleay to my friends, because I've seen for myself that Holleay delivers more than she promises."
