About Lauren Rickard

With a passion for all things Outer Banks real estate and area knowledge accrued over 20+ years as an investor and manager of local real estate, I can provide you with all of the resources and information needed to BUY or SELL Outer Banks properties. A firm believer in putting my clients first, I strive to provide excellent customer service by developing a customized strategy built around your individual needs. Originally from Northern New Jersey, I relocated to the Outer Banks in 1990. One visit was all it took! I decided to make a lifestyle change and became a full time resident. I currently reside in Kitty Hawk with my husband and our son. Together we own and manage multiple properties including a commercial shopping mall, several long term rental properties, and we recently expanded in to the vacation rental side of the business. In 2010 I earned my NC Real Estate License and joined the group of Real Estate Professionals at Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty. I am proud to be a member of a consistent award winning Real Estate Firm. In terms of accreditations and affiliations, I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, the North Carolina Association of Realtors, the Outer Banks Association of Realtors, Coldwell Banker A-Team and I hold a RSPS (Resort and Second Home Specialist) designation and my ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) designation. I truly love the Outer Banks and all it has to offer and there is nothing more fulfilling than helping clients purchase their dream home at the beach or assisting those who wish to sell their home to pursue a new dream. When you become my client you have a full time, full service Agent and a friend for the long haul. When making your choice for an Outer Banks Real Estate Professional I hope you will contact me. Let my PASSION + PROFESSIONALISM = SUCCESS for you!

Lauren Rickard is an exceptional realtor start to finish. I have moved countless times during both of my careers and have dealt with many real estate agents. When we decided to sell our vacation home I immediately started conducting research in the area. It quickly became evident who would represent me. Lauren's record speaks for itself as well as the company she represnts, but beyond that the moment I reached out and we spoke, her knowledge and professionalism as well as her local connection confirmed my selection. Time and again throughout the process it was clear Lauren Rickard would represent my best interest. As the unique situation unfolded Lauren ended up representing both myself and the buyer. There was not a moment throughout the process where I felt I wasn't being represented to my best advantage. Her honest and straightforward approach ensured both buyer and seller understood all aspects of the transaction. Extremely approachable and responsive, Lauren answered questions, provided sage advice and guidance and even found and contacted local construction professionals when required to accomplish some work on the house. This was not an easy sale and yet she made it feel seamless for me and took the brunt of the challenges on her shoulders finding mutually agreeable solutions. Lauren Rickard is tops in her field for many reasons, but for me she was the right person, with the right qualifications to do the best job I needed her to do as my realtor. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to be her advocate whenever the opportunity presents itself. The reality is you couldn't be in better hands, whether buying or selling, in the Kitty Hawk and surrounding area. Thanks Lauren, having you as my realtor was an exceptional decision!

This was a crazy and wonderful journey...as all home purchases usually are...but Lauren was spectacular through it all. She is exceptionally patient and her follow up is fantastic. All of this helped, especially since we are not local to OBX and needed additional support. We really couldn't have done this without Lauren's help. THANK YOU so much.

Lauren was wonderful throughout the whole buying experience. She video toured several properties for my since I lived out of town, including the one I bought (while I was on a cruise). She has great attention to detail, always prompt in returning calls, texts and emails. RESPONSE

This is my second time working with Lauren. She is gracious, helpful and kind. This was a difficult move for me, only in that a lot of emotion went along with this sale. She was very sympathetic, and patient. I was also working remotely during most of this sale; she helped me manage everything, being my eyes and ears on site. Lovely experience all around. Cannot recommend her enough!

Lauren was incredible to work with. It took us several months to find the place we eventually settled on and she was along supporting and providing quality information the whole way. Her local knowledge of OBX landscape, rental market, and critical local contacts helped get the deal done without any major hiccups or issues. Would highly recommend working with Lauren.

Answered Questions

How long does processing time for an appraisal for condo ?

45 days at a minimum, but check with the Lender. If the Lender has previously completed a loan for the Condo Association the timeline could be shortened. The timeline will also be directly effected by how long it takes to get an Appraiser to accept the request. Some areas are short on Appraisers and timelines can be much longer than the "normal".
