Certifications and Recognitions
Mike and Linda Powers bring a wealth of experience to you. They work for you to make your dreams come true from Resort Realty's Duck office just north of Tommy's Market.

She has obtained her GRI, RRS and ABR designations and is currently working toward her CRS qualification.
Mike teamed up with Linda in 2001 after a long and successful career as a sales professional. With his sales experience Linda knew that together they would bring their clients the necessary experience for positive results. Mike has also earned the prestigious GRI designation, the RRS and is also working to earn his CRS. He is also a designated broker in charge. Mike and Linda were honored to be selected by Money magazine as the Outer Banks REALTORS featured in the June 2005 real estate issue. Excerpts of the article also appeared on CNN/money and the home page of AOL.
After moving to Resort Realty in June, 2008,they were asked why they prefer an independent company over the large franchise companies. They said, "We've tried Re/Max. The competition was fun, however, we believe we can give more personal service to our clients by associating with a local, independent company that focuses on issues at home. This profession should not be about sales competition, but about old fashioned personal service. That's our goal." They have received monthly Sales Leadership awards and are proud simply to have satisfied clients who know the value of their services. When you choose Mike and Linda Powers to work for you, you get the benefit of their past sales experience, combined knowledge and judgment. They are eager to share their skills with clients as well as fellow REALTORS.

Personal
We came to the Outer Banks in 1966 on our first anniversary. From that time, we knew we would one day live here. After many years of vacations and long weekends, we came to stay in 1997. Since then, we have lived in Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, and now Kitty Hawk near the sound. We know the Outer Banks. It is now our pleasure to share our local knowledge with you.
Though we pride ourselves on being workaholics, we do take time to boat in the sound, walk the beaches, play with our collie and 2 goofy cats, and volunteer with our Coast Guard Auxiliary. We also work in our church where Mike sings in the choir, oversees grounds upkeep, and works in disaster relief. He works with N.E.S.T. to find and protect endangered sea turtles by riding the Duck beaches early of a morning looking for turtle tracks. Linda teaches Sunday school and facilitates Bible study classes. She loves to knit and grow roses in her container garden. We love to shop, eat in our fine restaurants, and just kick back and enjoy wiggling our toes in the sand. Come find your fun! |
