"Ray is an exceptional realtor. We trust and respect him greatly and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property on the OBX. Ray goes above and beyond the call for his clients; due, no doubt, to his years of experience in the OBX real estate and property management business. He is the most professional and attentive realtor we have ever had the pleasure to work with. Ray’s commitment to customer service begins the day you meet him and extends beyond the sale! We had numerous closing challenges beyond our control. Ray helped us overcome. This was a testament to how respected Ray is in the community and amongst the tradespeople. When you mention Ray, they not only know him but are willing to make time for him in their extremely busy schedule. “Only for Ray!”, they said! We consider Ray to be our “lucky charm” because his touch made our problems go away every time. Ray stands out from the pack not only for his service commitment but also his respect for the customer, a"

"We began our hunt to buy a house in August 2020 and moved in October 2020. Ray is excellent...thank you so much for your help and we are in love with out beautiful home."

"Ray did a great job helping us find our beach house on the Outerbanks! His extensive experience and knowledge of the area allowed him to easily guide us through our search and selection. He spent the day showing us around and looking at many homes. When we couldn't be there in person he did some virtual tours with us and was always very gracious and responsive, making us feel like we were his only clients. We never felt any pressure. Since purchasing, he has helped us with vendor referrals who have been amazing in the short period of time we had to do some work before renters came in. We now consider Ray a friend and are so thankful we had the opportunity to work with him!"

"From the first day we met with the team of Ray and Briann, we knew that they were the best fit for us and for marketing and selling our beloved Pine Island home. The team immediately put into motion an active plan to prepare to sell to both possible non-renting and renting owners -- each buyer with varying expectations for considering our home. They brought in builder and rental company experts to assess how the home does and could further appeal to potential owners interested in rental income, including the owner potentially reconfiguring a floor to add a further two bedrooms and increase gross margin at a very affordable price. Alternately, they carefully considered what someone looking for either a primary home or low-no rental second home and marketed accordingly...Ray and Briann are an amazing team and their experience and sound business sense ended up getting us our full price!

"Ray is truly one of the good ones! We had a hard time finding a home due to market conditions but Ray made the long process tolerable. Excellent market knowledge with good advice."

"We bought our third rental property, Seas the Beach, through Ray Meiggs, and we were thrilled with the process. Ray worked hard to find us a great rental property for an amazing price. We closed in May, and he then helped us get the house ready for the summer rental season. He and Twiddy worked furiously to book the summer in two short weeks! It was an efficient, fun, and profitable experience. Whether buying or selling in the Outer Banks, choose Ray Meiggs as your partner in real estate. You will be extremely satisfied, and may make a true friend along the way!"

"I was looking for a house in the Corolla/Duck area for some time with no luck but Ray suggested my current home that I just purchased. I couldn't be happier with it. I was having no luck myself until Ray proposed the perfect house in Duck for me. The house has exceeded all my expectations. I got a stellar deal and the sale was as easy as could be. I could not recommend a better agent. He helped the process along and was the most attentive real estate agent I've ever worked with. I will definitely be using him in the future for more homes around the Outer Banks area."

"When we first began looking for a piece of property upon which we could build, we weren’t in a hurry. That all changed when Ray showed us the piece of land in Southern Shores. We knew immediately that we’d found the site of our future home on the Outer Banks. Ray jumped into high gear, communicating with the seller, preparing an offer and guiding us through negotiations. We were anything but easy clients! Our offer required contingencies for selling property in a different part of the state AND having a house designed in order to close on our construction loan. Ray was a joy to work with as he served as the liaison between us, our financing team, and the seller; as well as keeping in contact with our realtor in Raleigh. Upon closing, Ray met us at our new lot with champagne and charcuterie – the perfect way to celebrate our first piece of property on the Outer Banks. We are thrilled to be under construction and can’t wait to invite Ray over for drinks on the deck overlooking the ocean "

"I cannot begin to say what an outstanding agent Ray was. He was, by far the best realtor I have ever dealt with. His performance was second to none, as well as his obvious attention to putting my best interests first and foremost. He has a great personality, a sense of humor, and is truly a real gentleman. As I told many of my friends "I really lucked out getting Ray!" Besides selling my home quickly Ray, also went above and beyond the call of duty by helping me with multiple artworks which I chose to keep...He not only packaged them up for me but is also storing them at his home until I can make the trip. Overall, I cannot say enough about Ray, nor can I thank him enough for everything. He deserves recognition for his exceptional service. HE is truly an asset to the Twiddy team!"

"What can I say about Ray Meiggs? Most importantly, he is a true gentleman, something you see less of these days. Ray is one of the warmest, friendliest, sincere people I know. Not feigned to gain business, but practiced as a daily habit to build long lasting meaningful relationships. As a realtor, he is a consummate professional, prompt, polite, knowledgeable, organized and efficient. Ray's number one priority is his client. He works extremely hard for his customers, whether buying or selling, and his grasp of the Outer Banks real estate market is unsurpassed. If you want a real estate professional that gets the job done, always with a kind word and a big smile, then please choose Ray Meiggs. The best part is that you may make a true friend along the way!"

"Briann was a pleasure to work with on my home purchase in Martin's Point! As a native of Philadelphia and in a time crunch, I was very particular and in need of quick responses. Briann was a pro. She was in constant contact with myself, the seller and the contractor. As a local, Briann was able to bring in the experts to assess the home and provide insights into the craftsmanship. In addition Briann made me feel like I was her only client, showing me over 30 properties in one day! I would highly recommend her. It was a true pleasure"

"I had the privilege of working with Ray to purchase my first home here on the Outer Banks. Ray took me on extensive tours of available houses and provided me with countless amounts of information in order for me to stay informed about the housing market in the area. When a house came onto the market that was in my price range, Ray contacted me immediately and said, “We’ve got to get on this one fast!” And he was right! Others were actively interested in the lower priced, positively located house and with Ray’s help & guidance, we were awarded the contract! Ray jumped into action with the banks, the insurance companies, inspections, etc., and was instrumental in closing within a month or so of the offer. He helped me with contractors, connected me to resources in the area, and constantly followed up to ensure it was all going smoothly. Honestly, I have been so spoiled by Ray’s involvement and support during the process that I doubt anyone else will live up to my expectations. In additio"

"We would like to say a few words about Ray Meiggs however, a few words about him would never suffice. In fact, we cannot say enough good things about this guy! In February 2020, we decided to look into purchasing rental property as an investment for our family. We have vacationed on the Outer Banks for many years, so we drove down to have a look. On the way down, we called Twiddy Real Estate and Ray happened to be on duty. Ray met us first thing the next morning and the beginning of a special relationship began. Our adventure with Ray spanned over 6 months, encompassing the pandemic closure of the Outer Banks and a market that had gone wild. In spite of all this confusion, Ray kept a cool head. He was positive and upbeat about finding a good fit for our budget and our desire for property in Corolla. His patience with our lack of knowledge and a fluid market was remarkable. This man never gave up! His insight into the way things work gave him and us the confidence to know we would be su"

"Kind, courteous, and a positive can-do attitude - I can't say enough about Ray! In under 24 hours of us contacting him, we were able to view our soon-to-be new house, get the comps, draw up and submit up a contract. Sure, easy peasy for any agent, but then move in the middle of the bridge shut down at the beginning of a pandemic? That is where Ray excelled. Every text was answered almost immediately, all of our fears addressed and most importantly, Ray was able to get us permission to come across the bridge to move into our new house. We could not have done this without Ray's guidance and hard work during an impossibly hard time with so many unknowns. Thank you, Ray!"
