About Lorna Riggs

My name is Lorna Riggs. I relocated to Emerald Isle on the beautiful Crystal Coast with my husband in 1989, leaving my 1st career as a Physician Assistant in Winston-Salem, NC. We pursued our entrepreneurial dream of creating and operating a specialty outdoor retail business in a place we love. Island Rigs Kayak and Clothing Company was born, grew and thrived for 16 years. At the store vacationing customers, enthralled by the area, were often as interested in my local knowledge of the coastal neighborhoods, as they were about our products and services. I became a licensed Real Estate Broker in 2005. Since then, I have familiarized myself with communities throughout Carteret and Onslow Counties. I obtained the GRI (Graduate of Realtor Institute); SFR (Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource); CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) & RSPS (Resort & Second-home Property Specialist) designations to better serve my clients. I look forward to working with you in buying or selling your full time residence, vacation home or investment property. Your satisfaction is my goal. It will be a privilege to use my professional skills, knowledge of current market conditions, and attention to detail in helping you, your friends and family. Please contact me anytime for community information or with your real estate needs: 252-241-5536 cell [email protected] www.lornariggs.com

We were very fortunate to work with Lorna as our realtor. Lorna was fantastic to work with. She knows the local area and the market very well, has excellent communication skills, is easy to get in touch with, and has a very nice personality. We looked at a variety of property types and she had great insight about each of them. She and her husband Ray work together as a team and we benefitted greatly from their extensive local knowledge. Once under contract on our lot, she was extremely helpful and assisted with our questions and helped with local contacts. We highly recommend working with Lorna and Ray on your real estate search.

Lorna did a fantastic job for us. She and Ray helped us navigate a highly competitive marketplace where prices are skyrocketing. We were able to win in a bidding process but still came in at a price below appraisal. She knows the market extremely well and is a great asset to have on your side.I highly recommend working with her and Ray on your real estate needs!

My wife and I had visited Emerald Isle many times over the years and had always dreamed of owning a vacation home here. We decided to start looking at houses for sale and were fortunate to work with Lorna and Ray as our realtors. We benefited from the significant knowledge of the area that both the Riggs have and learned about the various neighborhoods and options available. After being shown many properties, we fell in love with a beautiful second row beach home. Though our initial offer was rejected by the sellers Lorna suggested a negotiation strategy that resulted in our buying the home! Lorna gave us great advice during this tense period and throughout our search was communicative by phone, text, and email. Communication with clients is key! We are so happy to own a beach home! We very much recommend working with Lorna and Ray aEUR" they are professional, knowledgeable, and good folks.

This was a tight seller's market. We wanted a second family vacation home / half-year vacation rental. The first house we saw already had bids, and we had a one-hour deadline. We put in an aggressive offer, though she had recommended more and, as it turned out, was right. After several more unsuccessful offers -- some appropriately less aggressive -- she remained patient and helpful. She respectfully suggested we go in different directions that we had previously not seriously considered. We eventually spent more but found the value and satisfaction to be much better. We're very happy with the successful offer that proceeded to closing about as smoothly as we could expect.

Lorna was great to work with because she knows the local area very well, is extremely responsive (to email, texts, and cell phone), and has excellent interpersonal, research, and communication skills. Lorna showed us six waterfront homes including the one we ultimately purchased. She helped us with home valuation and negotiation of offers / counteroffers based on current knowledge of the local market. Once under contract, she helped a lot more with our questions during home inspection, water testing, and other aspects of due diligence. She is friendly and professional -- her husband / realty partner Ray was also knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful -- they are a great team for anyone needing a Crystal Coast realty professional.
