A Natural Progression

It seems natural that this couple would settle here. The two met while students at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and it was "love at first sight," Winston says, a sentiment Whitney echoes. While they enjoyed their life in Charlotte, they found themselves drawn to the Outer Banks. The couples love of the outdoors and the area's natural beauty made it the perfect choice for a new home.

Winston is a graduate of UNC Charlotte and earned a Bachelor of Science in business administration concentration in small business management and finance.  Winston has been involved in sales and consulting since graduating college, but began his real estate career as a commercial real estate broker in Charlotte, NC. He started in 1994 and after a few years of commercial real estate under his belt, he was shown the excitement by his father in-law of residential home sales. His hard work allowed his to quickly rise through the ranks and gained notoriety and success for his efforts.Since 1994 Winston has made real estate his full time career and with experience in commercial property, residential real estate sales and vacation home real estate brokerage. Winston has a strong financial background and personal investment experience.

While on a short weekend trip to the Outer Banks in 1997, he and his new bride Whitney decided to relocate to Kitty Hawk from Charlotte, NC.  This is where the fun truly began, he was able to combine the investment (rental) quality with the residential home business, which is the majority of transactions on the Outer Banks. As a Broker, REALTOR and personal investor, Winston brings a thorough understanding of each aspect of the business and takes great pride in the personal attention, knowledge and guidance that he is able to provide for each of his clients. 

Things have changed quite a bit since that impulsive, spur of the moment idea to move the beach over 24 years ago.  Everyone thought they were crazy, after all they had perfectly good jobs in Charlotte.  They have since built a family here with their two boys Max and Levi.  Since they arrived both Winston and Whitney's siblings have since relocated to the the area.   In addition to his professional and busy personal life, Winston enjoys giving back to his community.  He is a former member and past President of the First Flight Rotary Club.
