Without question, Beth Dobney is the best realtor in the Outer Banks. In representing us in our Corolla ocean front lot purchase, she found and negotiated a price that was over $200,000 less then any comparables. In representing us on the sell side, after building a 7000+ Sq ft home on the lot, Beth sold the house for us at a price exceeding our expectations and that was one of the highest price homes sold in Whalehead in the recent past. Her expert knowledge and insight on the Outer Banks saved us from making many mistakes on both the buy side and the sell side. The Outer Banks is truly a unique place to buy and sell real estate and Beth’s immense expertise regarding all things Outer Banks, as well as her expertise in real estate negotiations and transactions were absolutely critical in the success of our foray into Corolla real estate.

When we decided to move our family from Richmond VA to the Outer Banks, we knew it would be complicated, time consuming, a logistical nightmare (me, my husband, two cats, one dog and a toddler and our business!) and really stressful. So I knew right away how important the right real estate agent for us, was going to be. After shopping around and interviewing a few other agents...I came across Beth's website and shot her an email. I had a response from her almost immediately and could tell from her tone that she was the one for us! She was honest, upbeat and seemed just as excited about our life change, as we were.
For the next several months while we waited for our home to sell, she kept us up to speed on the OBX market and sent us listings almost every day. She stayed in touch, asked questions about what we wanted and never made us feel like second best compared to her other, much bigger clients! When we went down to OBX to shop for homes, she was organized and really listened to our feedback. She was even great with our toddler and family dog who we had brought with us. The home we ended up purchasing was a home we had passed over several times because we just didn't like the photos!!! She encouraged us to see it in person because she knew it was everything we were looking for!
During the time from offer to close..she was our right hand! She handled inspections, contractors, answered all our questions and made what could've been a stressful process...run as smooth as silk and not a single hiccup. Not a single problem!
Beth has definitely raised the bar for real estate agents, across the board. She not only is professional, knowledgable and smart...but she also takes the time to get to know her clients and really understand what they are hoping to find. An agent that listens and doesn't let your purchase amount determine her level of service....that's Beth!
Thanks Beth!!!

"My wife and I first met Beth in 2000 when we started looking for a second home. Beth not only became our realtor, but because of her personal service, she became our friend. She found, after many attempts, a home that was perfect for my families needs. We enjoyed that home for several wonderful seasons until we decided that it was time for a change. There was no question as to who we were going to call for assistance "Beth Dobney" and her staff. Beth not only worked with us to find, yet again, another perfect home for my family to enjoy the Outer Banks in, but was very persistent while doing it. We bought this new home in March of 2005 and have loved it. Beth not only found my family two homes for purchase but she also worked very hard to sell my first home, which she did, during a time when real estate sales were slowing drastically. Beth worked tirelessly to find my homes and then sell one of them, her contacts in the financial industry are great to work with as well. There is no question that any future dealings on the Outer Banks, for my family, will go through Beth Dobney."

"Beth Dobney and her staff are professional yet personable. Beth processes an extensive knowledge of the Outer Banks and has many critical contacts in the area. Beth and her team are very responsive and detail-oriented. Throughout the entire process, we felt that she represented our best interests. Being 300 miles away, it was sometimes difficult to conduct normal business. Beth was always available to provide her assistance and facilitate our transaction. She was instrumental in ensuring our settlement was completed timely. Beth continues to keep in contact with us after the sales and offers assistance with our OBX property. We highly recommend the Outer Banks Investment Specialists and would definitely use their services again!"

As owners of a wonderful home that we designed and had built in North Swan Beach over 7 years ago, we decided that it was time to sell this year. Our original intention was to retire there, but my husband developed some chronic health issues that made retirement to such a remote location as 4WD an unrealistic goal. We contacted Beth Dobney and asked her to list our house. Beth was conscientious, caring, and professional in every aspect of the sale. With the exception of a few delays that were related to the buyers' lender, the process was relatively painless and trouble free. We love the Outer Banks and hope to return on a "renter" basis in the future.

Our relationship with Beth Dobney began on the Internet when we started a search for our home on the Outer Banks. Even before we met Beth in person, she was very diligent about researching homes as well as sending us pictures of prospective homes. When we met Beth, she was very patient about showing us homes that she selected for us to view.
We eventually bought the very first home she showed us. Beth was very conscientious and professional in assisting us with our purchase. The level of service we received from Beth far exceeded our expectations. She was at our service through the whole process of purchasing our Outer Banks home. Not living in the area at the time of our purchase, Beth was very reliable about handling matters that we were not able to do from a distance. Beth went above and beyond to make our purchase a smooth process. We were very much at ease with our purchase thanks to the hard work Beth put forth to help us."

Beth did a good job explaining the differences in the houses. The one we bought brought together everything we were looking for and was within our reach financially."
