Sandy was exceptional! She helped us through the whole process of buy our beach house. She was very friendly and professional! We thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She made it easy even though we were working from a distance and in the middle of a pandemic. She went above and beyond! Thank you Sandy!! We love our new home away from home!!

Report
Sandy LaRue is an extremely professional agent. I have been buying and selling real estate on the Outer Banks for over 30 years. Sandy is the best agent I've ever used. She knows her market, she has good judgment, she gives good advice but still ultimately defers to her client, and she knows how to negotiate a deal. There is no artifice about Sandy; she doesn't posture, doesn't preen and doesn't brag--she just gets it done. Stay away from those agents with oversized egos and go with the consummate professional--Sandy LaRue.

Report
I recently purchased a house in Jarvisburg NC. Sandy LaRue of Corolla Beach Realty was so helpful. She was always available at any time. This is important when dealing with lawyers and financial institutions. They want information asap. Sandy was always there to help since I was in New York and not present in NC. She always had a smile and was very cheerful and patient. I have to say...buying this house was a breeze....Thanks Sandy!
