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.
