Our experience has been amazing! Danielle reached out six months ago when we just started looking in the area. She was attentive to what was important to us, and tailored homes to suit our search. We lived out of state and toured homes virtually with her. She supported us every step of the process and we closed on our new home before ever stepping foot into it. There was a level of trust and we felt confident that she provided truthful representation. When we finally met, it felt like seeing a friend. We will recommend Coastal Outer Banks and Danielle to anyone looking to buy.

Our experience with Laurie Battaglia, the Broker/Owner of Coastal Outer Banks Realty was amazing. Lauries knowledge and expertise of the real estate market in general and specifically in the OBX is second to none.

Working with my Realtor Laurie was AMAZING. Selling my house was very emotional. She guided me through the process with great care and answered ALL of my questions quickly by phone, text and email. She counseled me as to what all of my options were. She not only helped with the sale of my home, but gave me great advice on my new place. Everything was effortless.I couldn't have done it without her. She is now not only my Realtor I consider her a friend.

Recently, Laurie and Coastal Outer Banks Realty helped us find our ideal vacation property. With young kids and hectic schedules, traveling from New England to the Outer Banks was difficult and we had to make the most of our trips. Each time we made the trip, Laurie had taken our parameters and had a well organized day of searching planned out. Not only did she take the time to get to know us and understand what we were ideally looking for, but she also offered her local advice and kept us up to date on the market. In the end, we found exactly what we were looking for and at a great price! We couldn

I worked with Stephanie a few years ago on locating our first vacation property. She had come recommended from a friend who has worked with her several times in the past. Stephanie showed us many places but ultimately found the ideal location for our family. With 2 small children proximity to the beach was important but so was price. Stephanie landed us in the perfect place and negotiated a great deal on our behalf. Would absolutely recommend her and will use her again in the future if / when needed!
