She responds everytime and is always on your side, she truly is the best and I recommend her highly . "

" Kathleen is fantastic to work with even from a distance. Our full-time home is in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. We started our home search with a visit to OBX in September. Kathleen had several houses lined up for us to see. She is very laid back and easy to work with. She had a lot of recommendations about the homes we saw including amenities renters appreciate most and upgrades/repairs likely needed with the properties. We did not choose a house that weekend and our search continued online and via FaceTime. Kathleen went out of her way to tour homes with us via FaceTime so we could keep up with the seller's market from afar. She gave us great advice through the offer process and was honestly as disappointed as we were when a couple offers were turned down. When we made an accepted offer, Kathleen, Alex and their team were fantastic in lining up all the details so we could make the most of our due diligence time. With the craziness of the OBX market this year, they really went above and beyond helping us secure an appraisal and deal with our mortgage lender. We truly cannot thank Kathleen, Alex and their team enough for helping us find our new home at the beach. We highly recommend working with them and we would definitely work with them again! "

" Kathleen sold our house at above the market value. She knew when to wait and when to accept the offer, we sat back and let her negotiate the contracts and report the offers to us. It was a stress free experience. "

- Norman Rodier

" Very available. Made some suggestions I kind of wondered about. However , house sold almost overnight at more than price listed. She certainly knows what sells a house. A privilege to have had Kathleen as an agent. "

- Bev & Al Chambers

" Kathleen Argiroff sold us a beautiful house in Colington and she did it with such grace and charm that we were tucked in and happier than we've ever been inside of weeks! This is a broker who is utterly reliable, good-natured, knowledgeable and bone honest. Her patience and attention to detail were unsurpassed and there was a decency and warmth about her character that allowed for an ease of transaction I've never encountered before. She was born to do her job and does it brilliantly. We are very, very grateful to have found her. "

" Kathleen and Alex helped me purchase my first home in 2019, and then sell it in 2021. Both of my experiences with them— buying and selling— have been absolutely amazing. I have known their family for a very long time and can attest to what wonderful people they are outside of the professional arena, but my experiences working with them professionally, in the potentially stressful OBX real estate environment, were above and beyond even my expectations. They are incredibly knowledgeable and outgoing, and they made buying and selling my home as stress-free as possible. Not only are they excellent with communication, but as an attorney, even I was impressed with their ability to negotiate, foresee problems and solutions, and effectively advocate on my behalf in ways I had not foreseen. Their tremendous experience with real estate was quite apparent in both of my dealings, and it gave me a great sense of peace knowing I was so well represented by such knowledgeable and caring people. They helped me purchase my home for significantly less than asking price, and then sell it in a bidding war at significantly more than my listing price, and quite simply, I don’t think anyone else could have represented me as well as they did. Particularly when it came to selling my home: I truly don’t know how they made it as simple, straight-forward, and stress-free as it was. Their knowledge + experience + attentiveness set the bar very high for all my future real estate transactions (as I have unfortunately moved off the OBX). Kathleen and Alex are an incredibly wonderful team to work with and I cannot recommend them more highly!! "

" Kathleen was great to work with. She helped me purchase a Condo on Roanoke Island. She responded quickly and helped me through the process from start to finish!! I couldn't be happier, I was able to check all the boxes! "

- Karletta Wood

" Kathleen was the realtor who I entrusted to sell my house in Colington Harbor. What I thought would have been an easy process was not due to some perceived issues with the home. With the aid and knowledge of Kathleen we steered our way thru these issues and we ended up with a very favorable result. She kept ensuring us and helping to ease our concerns thru the entire process. I am not sure you can find a more competent and caring individual who is supported by her team. Along with her husband, Alex, and her assistant, Marion, we were in very good hands with this stellar team. Thank you. "

- Gary & Rita Marck

" We have known Kathleen since 2008. We bought all of our homes (3 total) through Kathleen. Kathleen has always been vey professional and always looked out for our interest. She made the purchasing and selling of the homes hassle-free. She ensured we bought and sold at the best price possible. We continue to use her services and recommend her to those interested in purchasing and selling homes at the Outerbanks. "

- Rosel & Jim Cappazolli

" My sister bought her Corolla house through Kathleen and when she decided to sell it many years later she sold it through Kathleen and recommended that we sell our lot through Kathleen. She monitored the market for about a year and reached out to me when she felt the market was peaking in June of 2022. We were under contract above our target price within days. Kathleen stayed on top of everything and was in constant contact with us answering any questions we had. So, if you are in the market to buy or sell, Kathleen Is the realtor for you. (As a bonus you make a new friend!!!) "

Goes above and beyond meeting your needs to find what you want. Truly can not say enough about Kathleen and her team . "

- Vicky & Brad Hachat

" I met Kathleen ten years ago when we first began thinking about buying a home in the OBX. She was so knowledgeable about the area and patient with us as we visited homes from Corolla to Hatteras. Ultimately we decided we weren’t ready to buy at that time. She was gracious and understanding. When we were ready and had narrowed our search, we contacted Kathleen. She helped us find the perfect home. We refreshingly found her to be honest with us in all things. She and the entire Argiroff Team were a pleasure to work with. They were always available to us and meticulously guided us through the sales process. They were attentive to details and helped us negotiate the best price for our home. I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone searching for a home in the OBX. "

" Kathleen and Alex went above and beyond in every aspect of our OBX home-buying experience; from finding the perfect property and determining the right offer, to working through the complex closing process, to supporting us as first-time OBX rental home owners. My wife and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market! We had been passively looking to buy an OBX rental home for over a year when Kathleen called us with news of a new listing that she thought would be perfect for us. Her deep knowledge of the local market – combined with a FaceTime video tour – gave us the confidence to put in an offer without ever seeing the home in person. Kathleen and Alex’s video tours were comprehensive but also impartial; they called out the highlights of the house as well as its warts. Their even-handedness gave us the confidence to know that we weren’t going to be disappointed once we saw the house in person. In fact, when we did finally arrive on the OBX, we both felt like the house was even nicer than we had expected! Given that we were hundreds of miles away, Kathleen and Alex were invaluable throughout the closing process, keeping our closing on track and coordinating the various inspections (home, pool, elevator, pest, septic) needed. They were especially helpful with the home inspection. The home inspection found no major defects but identified dozens of smaller issues. Without Kathleen and Alex, we would have probably simply filed that inspection report away for a rainy day. They, however, proactively brought it to a handful of trusted local vendors to come up with estimates for every item on the list. This allowed us to go back to the seller with a strong case for a price adjustment, which was ultimately agreed to. Speaking of local vendors on the OBX: there is a serious shortage of them! We’ve found that it’s extremely hard to get anything scheduled, let alone on short notice. It is a testament to the strong relationships that Kathleen and Alex have built over the years that everyone on the OBX is always willing to do a favor for the Argiroffs. People who know Kathleen and Alex love working with them. We sure did! As first-time OBX rental home owners, there’s a lot that my wife and I don’t know about maintaining a property and working with a rental company. Thankfully, Kathleen and Alex know everything when it comes to Outer Banks real estate, and they’ve been extremely generous with their time in helping us get up to speed. Because of their shrewd advice, the house is already on track to generate more than enough income to cover its annual expenses and more. Even months after closing on the house, we continue to lean on them for advice on running our rental! "

Kathleen Argiroff exemplifies what it means to be a professional - rock solid competence, caring, and placing the client's interests first. I place her in the first tier.

" I went into this process with a very negative attitude. I have to say after one meeting with Kathleen my mood not only improved, but I had hope that we would find something eventually in our budget. She was truly amazing. Kathleen and her team not only found us a property THAT weekend that we were there, they pulled together the necessary inspections so they would happen while we were in town. Settlement went flawlessly and we couldn't thank her enough. I would highly recommend Kathleen.I went into this process with a very negative attitude.

" My first experience working with Kathleen started in early 2012. Then, I was in search of my perfect beach house. Kathleen found the best beach house for me on 5th street. When it was time to sell my beach house, I knew Kathleen would be my only choice representing me and selling my home. She has great knowledge of the OBX current market, and with her experience she delivered with 5 offers on the first weekend. You know my story well Kathleen. I appreciate you, your team, and your service. OBX will be missed, and so will be my beach house, but I take many memories with me, including a smooth sale of my home. Thanks again, Kathleen. "

- Phillip Miller

" Kathleen Argiroff and her Team were absolutely essential to the successful sale of our vacation home. Kathleen’s staging advice, working with just what we had, transformed the interior space from "ok" to "very appealing". Just as helpful was her guidance on things we had planned to do that were not necessary, allowing us to more quickly and easily get our home on the market. Kathleen‘s pricing strategy was spot on to solicit multiple offers which gave us our choice of good selling options. As a Real Estate Agent myself in central North Carolina, I know how important it is to obtain the advice and services of an excellent local agent familiar with the unique Outer Banks market. After interviewing several top agents we chose Kathleen, and are forever grateful for her amazing performance and our very successful sale. "
