First and foremost, I am a family man. My wife, Emerson, and two boys, David and Will, are my biggest blessing. I am a devoted husband and father with strong ties to the community. I am actively involved with many local charities and non-profits. My interests include hunting, sports, and spending time with my family. As a graduate of the University of North Carolina, I am a Tarheel.
- My family built the first home on Bald Head in 1973.
- Specialized knowledge and expertise of the Bald Head Island market comes from the hundreds of transactions I have completed over the past 20 years. My extensive experience will help you to negotiate the best possible price whether buying or selling.
- I adhere strongly to a set of values that are centered upon always doing the right thing and doing it well. I have a steadfast and unconflicted regard for my client’s well-being and best interests.
I look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs and hope to see you on Bald Head in the near future.
David, I want to thank you again (and again) for all you have done to make the transition of ownership so smooth. I have only good feelings about all the details you worked out (and to our advantage!!)
I like working with you – hard-working, honest and integrity.
David, I understand why you are having such great results and success. You are a straight shooter and the best realtor I have had the pleasure of working with.
I have been so pleased with your listing our property, getting it photographed, and on the web site and for advertising it, getting prospective buyers shown the house and getting an offer within a short time, handling the offer and counteroffers, and your help up thru the closing. Your honesty, advice, and help were invaluable. You and Happi made the sale of the house a pleasant experience. Thank you.
