Passion, combined with a “make it happen” work ethic, Ray welcomes the opportunity to assist you with all your real estate needs and in finding you the perfect home on the Outer Banks! With deep roots in Northeast North Carolina, Ray grew up working and vacationing on the Outer Banks. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill and The Ohio State University, Ray came full circle through California, Vermont, and ultimately back home to North Carolina. He set his sights on fulfilling a lifelong dream of making the Outer Banks his permanent home and moved to Southern Shores where he is now “living the dream." A world traveler with a successful career in marketing, business development, and sales, Ray joined Twiddy & Company in 2015 to spearhead the newly created Premier Home Services program for luxury oceanfront rental properties. He now brings forward that same passion, invaluable experience, and depth of regional knowledge as a member of the Twiddy and Company Premier Sales Team. Clients consistently comment on Ray’s positivity, attentiveness, and support throughout the entire process and long after the deals have closed. On the rare day on which you don't find Ray working, you might find him relaxing with his family and Huey the hound dog, paddling a kayak down the canals, chilling with a good book on the beach, biking through the maritime forest or tickling the ivories of his grand piano.
