Real Estate Services for the Outer Banks Investor

For Buyers

The Absentee Owner

Oh, the joys of home ownership!

Many Outer Banks investors are absentee homeowners and rarely are there any problems. However, if you are an absentee owner, I recommend that you make arrangements to have your home checked periodically. Pipes can burst during cold weather, storms can blow off hot tub covers - it is impossible to foresee the vast array of incidents that could occur at your Outer Banks home when you are not here.

If your home is in a rental program, your property management company probably provides of all the services you need to care for your property. Make sure you check with the management company to find out which items are included in your management fee and which services are subject to an additional charge.

If your home is not in a rental program and you are unable to come down monthly, please contact me if you need this type of service as I have a list of vendors who offer cottage care. Outer Banks real estate is an investment and investments must be protected.
