Client Reviews

Denice Tappero was the listing agent for our home in Kitty Hawk. Her marketing skills resulted in immediate showings and an offer with a 30-day closing within a week. She worked closely with us as well as the buyers' agent throughout the entire process leading to a successful closing. Questions were always addressed in a professional and timely fashion. We highly recommend Denice. Tom and Marty

We have used Denice for the past 5+ years to help us with our real estate deals. She has great knowledge of the local real estate market which is a great plus for us to bounce ideas and deals around with her. She is very detailed oriented which reassures me that something will not fall between the cracks. All our closings have gone very smooth thanks to all the work she does behind the scene. Cant go wrong working with Denice as your real estate agent. Very honest and professional in all situations.

Denice was wonderful! She was always pleasant and accommodating. She went out of her way to ensure that our needs were met. I highly recommend her, when one is buying or selling a home . Denice will get the job done!

Denice Tappero is amazing. I've now worked with her to buy two homes, and my sister bought one, too. Denice really looks out for you, making sure you find the perfect place at the right price. In each case I was a discerning shopper -- a polite way of saying very very picky -- and Denice guided me through the marketplace and patiently, cheerfully, insightfully helped whittle down options and explore new areas until we found just the right spot. And it didn't stop with finding the home. Throughout each purchase she made sure I was well aware of every box that needed checking, every task that needed to get done. She helped wrangle the lender and lawyer and inspector and insurance folks. She showed up at closing. She persevered through all my bad jokes. I would trust Denice with anything related to finding a home. At this point I'd trust her with brain surgery. Why? She's amazing.

Denice helped us find our first home in the Outer Banks and again when we recently looked for an investment property. It took over six months of listings and looks but, Denice was always ready with new finds, a positive attitude and a generous gift of her time. She took care of everything to make the process - offer through closing - a very simple and happy experience.

Denice has been a complete joy to work with. My husband and I started to look at houses well before we were ready and Denice was always there with a gracious smile to show us properties or to answer questions. She really makes you feel like part of her family and I definitely called her a time or two and cried because buying a house (bank side) can be so stresssful! I am sad the process is over because that means we won't be seeing her or calling her and she has become apart of such a special journey in our life and we will never forget her or her kindness and true professionalism. Also, being a last minute person she was ALWAYS available to meet me or show us a house when I asked which is so helpful when you have a 2 year old and 1 year old with unpredictable lives!

Denice handled a majority of my transaction as I was relocating to OBX. She made sure inspections were done, documents got to my attorney and that nothing fell through the cracks! Her knowledge of local practices and vendors that get things done was invaluable. Her attention to detail and  dedication made the difference. When my seller failed to return documents for closing timely which delayed she was on it! I was able to move as scheduled as if it had closed on time. Let Denice take care of you like she did me.

Denice took us through the very unfamiliar territory of purchasing a property in the Outer Banks and did an absolutely fantastic job of keeping everything moving in a very positive direction. She not only had the knowledge and expertise required to guide us through this purchase but also the  personality and people skills that make those whom she is working with feel very comfortable. She answered our many questions and relieved our many concerns in a straight forward and easily understood manner. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and we feel like that was a direct result of her experience and hard work on our behalf.

Denice did a fantastic job helping us find a vacation home in Duck! We had started the process 4 months earlier and to help in our search, she provided us with access and emails to local MLS listings, so that we could review current listings and set up appointments. We found Denice to be very personable and professional with good communication, local knowledge of the area and great follow-up skills. I would highly recommend Denice for anyone looking to buy or sell a home on the Outer Banks. Thanks very much, Denice. 

Working with Denice as our buyer's agent for our home purchase in the Outer Banks was a great experience. She was totally professional, as well as friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. She made herself available for our numerous trips to explore several areas on the OBX, and passed along quite a bit of information on the areas we were considering. We truly appreciated all of her help and advice, and would highly recommend her to others searching for OBX properties.

When I decided to sell my home in Raleigh and move to the Outer Banks to be near my daughter and grandchildren, I had the great fortune to be referred to Denice Tappero as my ‘buyers agent’.

Denice is hands down, the best real estate agent I have ever worked with in buying or selling a home. I felt that she actually listened to what I told her I was looking for and she did not waste any of my time showing me homes that really did not match what I needed to find. Denice was very patient and friendly as, together, we took the time I needed to find the right home for my needs. And we found it!

I would highly recommend Denice to everyone looking for a less stressful and highly successful search for a home in the OBX! Thank you Denice!

Professional. Knowledgeable. Informative. Accurate. Personable. Efficient. All words we would use to describe Denice’s handling of our real estate transaction. Making a purchase in NC while living in another state could be a difficult, stressful event, but she made it very smooth and easy. Denice knows the area extremely well and is firmly connected with the local business community. We know the first call we will make when we need to take care of another real estate transaction!

Denice is the consummate professional and we were very fortunate to have her involved with our condo purchase. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and we always felt that she was working in our best interest. She was eager to help in any way possible, always researching our questions and getting back to us quickly with answers. She created a friendly, constructive and open to discussion atmosphere that allowed us to make quality decisions without pressure.

Denice's professional and personable demeanor made her a true joy to work with. She is very knowledgeable and thorough, and was helpful in every way possible throughout our home buying process. She always responded to our questions and requests in a timely manner, and continues to be a wonderful resource long after our closing. We feel very blessed to have come to know Denice and look forward to continued contact with her. We highly recommend her!! 

Denice is an amazing person and a consummate professional. She truly listens to her clients, takes the time to do thorough research, and goes above and beyond to ensure not only that she does what is in the best interest of her clients but also that she provides a great client experience! She is warm, highly intelligent, super-efficient, and stays on top of each deal until it is closed. Her response time is the fastest I have ever experienced. She is both refreshing and truly a joy to work with! I would recommend her to anyone!

Denice Tappero was a gem. She was extremely supportive of us during the entire process. She understood what we were looking for and was persistent and consistent in providing us with information and options. She was extremely helpful in answering a ton of my constant questions. She was always professional and always willing to assist us. She answered our calls and emails quickly and efficiently. She was Wonderwoman! 

Denice is a true professional. She handled all of the details of the sale with great efficiency. She also helped with some smaller issues which were beyond what I expected from a realtor. I greatly appreciated all of her help. Highest recommendations.

Denice helped us purchase our first cottage in the Outer Banks and we could not have asked for a nicer, more professional agent. She met with us on multiple Sundays and after hours to show us properties. Denice's patience with the closing process also helped tremendously! We recommend Denice to anyone searching for a property in the Outer Banks; big or small!!
