I cannot say enough good things about Michele. She helped us find our dream home in the OBX and we couldn’t be happier with our entire experience, from finding our house to signing the papers at closing. Michele went above and beyond the call of duty and left no stone unturned. She was, and still is, available day and night via text, email, or phone to answer any question, be it big or small, and is always very responsive. Her professionalism and dedication to getting our family our dream beach house was second to none! We highly recommend Michele to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Outer Banks.

Sandy worked with my wife and I to buy a home in the Outer Banks. We really were unsure where to start. She asked a lot of questions to understand our preferences and then went to work to get some homes set up. As she showed the various homes she continued to ask questions about likes and dislikes to better hone in on what we were really looking for. We looked in Southern Shores and Duck and knew these would be where we wanted to buy. She also showed sound side and ocean side homes and we were able to clarify that we wanted ocean side. Her questions and local knowledge really helped us make decisions. She did a really nice job of distilling our thinking and presenting it back to us so we could confirm. We found a home and Sandy, with her local contacts helped us with really good home inspector and also helped us navigate the potential need to move our septic system to install a pool. She also got us set up for closing and again helped us navigate that process. We closed and began to move in. We discovered a small issue as we were doing some remodeling. I made a call to Sandy to see if she could help me find a local contractor. Now at this time the deal was done and she was under no obligation to do anything. She made a few calls and had a contractor stop by that day to help me figure out what I needed. Truly above and beyond service. Sandy is easy to talk to, very customer focused and really has the pulse of the local area. We would highly recommend her and her team to support anyone’s home buying needs.

We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Corolla Beach Realty. This was our first time selling a home and the knowledge and expertise provided was incredible. We didn’t know what to expect but Sandy was prepared for every step which we encountered. We got the price we wanted, closed in a timely manner, and we were kept informed every step of the way. Sandy exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend her and Corolla Beach Realty to anyone considering purchasing or selling their home.

Outstanding service with a smile. Sandy is truly an amazing agent with a great personality, an amazing knowledge of the Outer Banks. We were so impressed with the amount of time she took to take us to each area, and explain to us, the HOA fees, the Amenities, and show us the neighborhoods. We learned more from her in one afternoon, than we thought we knew from traveling there for over 20 years. She made the entire process as seamless as she could and communicated clearly with use from start to finish. We would recommend Corolla Beach Realty to all of our friends and all of you.

I had a wonderful experience finding a beach house in OBX. I told Michele what area I wanted to be in, what my price range was, and she found the perfect house! Michele knows the area and who to get for various services. She is very available time wise and easy to work with. She has a positive energy and I’d like to think we have become friends. I will definitely pull on her expertise with any questions about house or area in the future.

Michele was always very helpful knowledgeable and responsive she was a pleasure to work with. She helped us to navigate through several homes that we looked at helped us to avoid the pitfalls and ended up making a great selection of a quality home that we can enjoy for years to come as a rental and for our family

If you are looking for a realtor in the OBX area stop your search! We cannot say enough on how outstanding Michele has been throughout our buying process. She goes above and beyond every step of the way for you and your needs. She was always available to answer our questions and helped connect us with many great and well respected people in the area to complete our purchase. Even after we found our slice of paradise, she has continued to help us with additional details to make this house a home.

My husband and I had the an amazing experience working with Sandy with Corolla Beach Realty! The process of selling/buying a home is stressful, especially with two small children. Sandy made the process enjoyable and seamless. She was extremely responsive, knowledgable and personable throughout. We highly recommend working with Sandy!

We worked with Sandy with both the buying and selling of our beach house. It couldn’t have been any easier. Sandy communicated with us almost daily throughout the entire process and everything ran smoothly. Her knowledge of the area and the market were spot on. She was a pleasure to work with.

We have looked into finding a home in Duck for about 5 years but never found the perfect fit. We got in touch with Sandy and she really helped us find what we were looking for. She was always very attentive and great at making sure we had all the information we needed to make a good choice. I can’t imagine using anyone else and I am so thankful for her advice, knowledge and patience. Because of Sandy my husband and I are proud owners of a beautiful home in Duck!

Sandy and her team are the best in Corolla. As a Corolla resident I had firsthand knowledge of who was highly respected, knowledgeable and very importantly, in todays market, who has an excellent internet presence including marketing for me as a seller and who can work closely with buyers agents. Sandy is very responsive and negotiated our sale at way above asking price! She is just the very best!

This is the second time that we have used Corolla Beach Realty, and like the first time, our experience was simply OUTSTANDING. Sandy goes above and beyond with her clients. She makes sure all the details are worked out, and that everything comes in as expected. She does not disappoint. On this engagement, Sandy was selling a home for us in the Currituck Club. She guided us through the process from the first meeting to the closing. We received an offer that was more than we expected. Dan is another asset to the team, who does whatever it takes to help Sandy and the clients get the job done. What an amazing team of professionals. We look forward to working with them again in the future. The OBX is an amazing place and these are two AMAZING people.

Dan and Sandy are THE BEST!! They are both pros at what they do and they know the Outer Banks region like no one else in the market! They helped us purchase a second home in Duck and while we were familiar with the Outer Banks from previous summer vacations, they were able to share such valuable advice and counsel regarding specific areas and homes to consider (and those to avoid). Their team provides such personalized and responsive service – we knew they had all the details covered at every point in the process. They also made our home buying experience a truly enjoyable one! We can’t recommend them high enough!

We had the pleasure of working with Sandy LaRue and her team of Corolla Beach Realty when searching for our dream beach house at OBX. From the start of our search until our closing, Sandy worked tirelessly to meet and exceed all of our needs. She was always available within minutes to answer all of our endless questions and if she didn’t know the answer off the top of her head she dug until she had the answers for us. We always felt that Sandy was working on our side and the best part was that she was always focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice and finding the perfect home that met our needs instead of just trying to close the deal. This was a small sale for Sandy but she treated us as if it were a multi-million dollar sale all the way. You will be pleased and never disappointed if you are fortunate enough to use Sandy and Corolla Beach Realty for your real estate needs

Sandy LaRue and her team handled the sale of our property. The home was priced well and there was a lot of interest. We were so impressed with Sandy as she answered our many questions, gave helpful suggestions, and negotiated on our behalf when we had multiple offers. We relied on her vast experience in the market. We were not disappointed. She even assisted us with returning some cable equipment as we are out of state. If you are thinking of selling your home, we recommend Corolla Beach Realty for professional service you can count on!

Sandy LaRue is an extremely professional agent. I have been buying and selling real estate on the Outer Banks for over 30 years. Sandy is the best agent I’ve ever used. She knows her market, she has good judgment, she gives good advice but still ultimately defers to her client, and she knows how to negotiate a deal. There is no artifice about Sandy; she doesn’t posture, doesn’t preen and doesn’t brag–she just gets it done. Stay away from those agents with oversized egos and go with the consummate professional–Sandy LaRue.

Sandy and the team at Corolla Beach Realty were an absolute joy to work with. We were on vacation in Duck and decided to explore the option to purchase a vacation home. We were linked to Sandy through Zillow and she was immediately responsive. Within the day, she was able to coordinate a showing of a house of interest even though it was currently being rented for the week. In the following weeks and months, Sandy stayed in direct connect with us and helped us to identify other viable properties for sale. We ultimately found our dream home and Sandy and her team ensured that everything went very smoothly despite the fact that we were 4 hours away in Virginia. She negotiated a great offer, she coordinated all inspections with the Seller and their agent and was in constant communication with us the entire time. We have closed on a number of properties of the past few years and Sandy made this experience the best. If you are looking for an agent with high-touch attention to detail and incredible local knowledge then look no further.

Sandy was extremely helpful from our first inquiry through closing and beyond! We don’t live in the area and were trying to do everything from thousands of miles away. Her team took the time to really listen to what we wanted and set up an easy way for us to review new listings as soon as they hit the market. Sandy was more than accommodating to our tight schedule and helped us look at homes during a busy holiday week when we were in town. Her knowledge of the local market and what you need to pay attention to was invaluable. When we found the perfect home, Sandy walked us through the negotiations and was on site for all the required inspections and repairs since we couldn’t be. We highly recommend Dan and Sandy LeRue Corolla Beach Realty!

Michele was very open to listening to what I was looking for and really helped me narrow down prospective properties and view them in a timely manner. She was very informative in the home buying process and knowledgeable in guiding me every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Michele was absolutely fantastic!!! We couldn’t recommend her enough- buying a home virtually during the pandemic was nerve racking but Michele made things so easy- She even went above and beyond after we purchased the home, continuing to check in and send photos after the storm. Michele was present when we couldn’t be for the photos and when the dryer broke down Michele collected one for us locally and arranged to get it put in with her local contacts. All around great experience and we would recommend Michele to anyone interested in buying a home in the Outer Banks!!

I have used Corolla Beach Realty / Sandy in the past to purchase a property in the Outer Banks. When it was time to sell, there’s only one company I would trust to manage my sale and that’s Corolla Beach Realty. Similar to my previous experience with them, they are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and timely. Our place sold in 3 days above listing price. Sandy makes the entire real estate transaction process incredibly easy. Her knowledge of the market is amazing. If you’re considering selling or purchasing a property in the Outer Banks they should be your first stop!
