Get to Know Kathryn Gorham

  Kathryn Gorham and her faithful assistant Maya serving Emerald Isle, NC and the Crystal Coast. Crystal Coast NC is a beautiful undiscovered niche of paradise. Emerald Isle is the jewel I call home (& work). Some of the best beaches and sport fishing in the world can be found right off our coast. Come play!       I am a REALTOR broker in Emerald Isle, a great beach town on the Crystal Coast of NC. I would say my great passion in life is LEARNING. With that said, I guess you won't be surprised to hear that I was the 2007 and 2008 Chair of the Education Committee for the Carteret County Association of REALTORS and Women's Council of REALTORS.   Yes, I love walking my dog on the beach too!  In addition to real estate sales. While wearing my Broker hat I find some of the most common transactions in our area to be resales, lots, full time single family residences, investment properties and second homes. We have a wide range of products in our market. Some unique features in coastal sales that "inland" agents often don't experience are stormwater runoff issues, septic, CAMA (Coastal Area Management Act) regulations and Single Family income properties.  Kathryn grew up one of six children working in her parents' "Mom & Pop" grocery store in the small town of Langeloth, Pennsylvania. She says,"Consequently by the age of 5 I participated in more battles and stood up for myself more frequently than most adults. It was that or get lost in the pack."  She worked for the airlines and lived all over the county (Kansas City, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Salt Lake City, Montclair NJ, and Raleigh).  She found her way to Cary, NC for several years where she got her real estate agent's license and then broker's license. After working as a member of the Kelly Cobb Home Team she decided it was time to realize her dream of living at the beach and packed her bags for Emerald Isle and the Crystal Coast.  "Growing up as one of six kids in the family business I learned many things, but most importantly I learned to treat customers with honesty, listen to what people ask for and do my best to supply it, and to be grateful for the opportunity to call them my customer and in many cases my friend as well."
