Two Briefs · Two Buyers

Start with the one that fits you.

Two buyer profiles hold up here on real, citable evidence, and a third one does not. Rather than invent a persona to fill a slot, this site ships the two that are true.

Market Data

What can honestly be said about this market.

No median list price, no active listing count, no days on market — the MLS feed has not been scoped and field-tested for this county yet, and the report page says so plainly instead of showing a number. What it does publish: the metro-area designation, the tax and transfer-tax math, and the CAMA and flood picture.

Figures, when live, come from HIVE MLS via the SourceRE RESO Web API. No cached or estimated market number is published on this site.

The broker

Travis Old

Horizon Realty Group · North Carolina Real Estate

Travis works the Northeast NC corridor — Camden, Currituck, Pasquotank, Perquimans — with a focus on buyers whose decisions need an operator's perspective, not a brochure's. Camden County splits cleanly into two genuinely different transactions: a Hampton Roads commuter buying land and quiet on the North Carolina side of a metro-area line that the federal government drew, and a canal-corridor buyer whose deal turns on CAMA jurisdiction, flood zone, and what the water actually does to a lot. A third buyer profile was looked for here and honestly was not found, so this site ships two briefs instead of padding to three. Active in regional market data through RPR and an appointed member of the 2026 William C. Bass Leadership Academy.
