Travis Old

I grew up in Moyock, twenty minutes east of Elizabeth City, and I've spent most of my adult life either building something in Northeast NC or helping somebody else find their way into it. These days that means writing offers and walking houses across Pasquotank, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, and Perquimans — and writing this brief in the evenings.

The Buyer's Brief is the document I wished existed when I first started sending out-of-town clients long emails about what each part of town is actually like to live in — where the wind comes from, which streets flood, what the drive to the Coast Guard base feels like on a Monday. It's long-form on purpose. It's honest on purpose.

I work mostly with first-time buyers, Coast Guard families on PCS orders, and people moving down from Hampton Roads or further north looking for a working downtown on the water. I don't list every house in town. I can sell any of them, though — and the listing agent will have zero fiduciary responsibility to you. Remember that before you tell me, "Oh, I thought you were the listing agent." If you want zero representation, call them first. Their name is on each listing on this site.

If you'd rather just talk, my number is at the top of every page. A text or phone call is usually the fastest way. If you'd rather go through my client system and speak to a member of my team first, send me an email. Otherwise, the chapters on this site are free to read — and if you choose another agent, they'll likely send you here anyway.
