Every now and then, real estate on Hatteras Island gives us a story that reminds us why we love what we do. This fall, NC 12 Realty had the opportunity to help both the buyers and the sellers with a truly one-of-a-kind transaction – a home that needed to be moved before it could begin its next chapter.
After a round of strong nor’easters left the structure in a precarious spot, local contractors stepped in immediately to help stabilize and shore up the home. Their skill and speed made it possible for everyone involved to breathe a little easier and focus on the next steps. Permits, lot clearing and closing.
House movers rolled onto the property with their crew and equipment – and a remote control that literally drove the house to safety. Neighbors watched as the entire home moved away from the ocean and down the street with the push of a button and a lot of helping hands.
Through it all, NC 12 Realty represented both sides of the transaction, helping the buyers and sellers work toward a shared goal. Clear communication, teamwork, and trust made it possible to get this property under contract and closed in record time.
And while Buxton has been the subject of its share of negative coverage lately, what often gets overlooked is the incredible strength of this community. Neighbors, volunteers, and local professionals consistently stepping up and showing up for one another in big and small ways. The media might make it sound like we’re washing away, but the truth is that Hatteras Island rises above. Because the best thing about this place isn’t just the beauty of our beaches – it’s the people.
It was a reminder that real estate isn’t just about houses – it’s about people, solutions, and community. Whether we’re navigating a standard sale or something a little less ordinary, our goal is always the same: bring folks together and help them move forward with confidence.
Here’s to creative problem-solving, strong partnerships, and many more success stories on Hatteras Island!
