Hampstead's most expensive homes sit on the Intracoastal Waterway. Frontage and private water access account for much of the high-end inventory in this part of Pender County, and that kind of property sells to a thin, geographically scattered group of buyers rather than to the local move-up market. The whole exercise is finding people who are not currently looking in Pender County.
Chris Baynes works that problem as a Certified Global Luxury Specialist, placing qualifying waterfront listings into Coldwell Banker Global Luxury and the international audience it reaches. Almost no agent covering Hampstead has that option. The listing itself gets professional photography, CAD-generated floor plans, and virtual tour media, then goes out across every major search site, because a buyer evaluating a waterfront home from several states away needs to understand the layout and the setting before spending a weekend traveling to see it. Contracts on these properties tend to get complicated, and negotiation is handled by a Master Certified Negotiation Expert.
The experience behind it is substantial: more than 25 years in the area, over 1,000 homes sold, and better than $221 million in MLS-recorded career volume.
