This is Catherine's 18th year as a full-time broker and REALTOR on the Outer Banks. She's lived here since 1988 and has witnessed the Outer Banks development that has taken place over time. Catherine is originally from the Hampton Roads area and has been familiar with the Outer Banks all her life, as this was a favorite spot for her childhood vacations. In 1988 she made the permanent move here with her family. Catherine remembers when Duck was just a small village and Corolla was a little-known destination. In 2006, after helping her mother manage the Duck Inn Bed and Breakfast in Duck, NC, which provided valuable experience in customer relations and business, Catherine joined her in real estate after witnessing her career soar. Catherine comes from a family of entrepreneurs like her grandfather, Raymond "Coca-Cola" Brown. He patented the stationary bottle opener and was the president of the Brown Manufacturing Company, a successful Coca-Cola bottling company in Newport News, VA, for over 50 years.

She is very hands-on and coordinates all aspects of the transaction, if desired, from start to finish.

Please contact Catherine today for a complimentary market analysis whether contemplating purchasing or selling! If you are house hunting, she can set you up on very detailed search criteria based on MLS fields that may not be available with a standard search.
