What Does Your Front Door Say?
Message from the President/Broker
Welcome to our first edition of Orchid Island Times. This publication, by Orchid Island Realty, will be published three times a year in an effort to share with you real
When someone goes to buy a car they usually have an idea beforehand of what they want including the color. The same with purchasing a home. Numerous studies have indicated buyers decide within the first 10 to 15 seconds of seeing a house whether they’ll buy it or not. Simply put, first impressions don’t get second chances.
According to a JELD-WEN REACT Survey, did you know?
•90 percent of real estate agents felt a buyer’s first impression of the front entry was important to their ability to sell a home.
•82 percent of real estate agents have had buyers decline to look inside a house based on the exterior appearance.
•A home with updated exterior doors was estimated to increase in value by $16,000.
At Orchid Island, the majority of homes have beautiful, solid mahogany doors, which provide our properties with an understated elegance of the British West Indies.
Homes that are as beautiful on the outside as they are inside leave potential buyers with an inviting feeling and a place they can envision as home. The key to setting the tone of the whole buying experience starts at the front door.

TESTIMONIALS“Orchid Island Realty did a great job in the sale of our home. We were impressed at the number of clients brought through the house and were impressed by their follow up after each visit. We never had to call to get the reaction. The recommendations for low cost changes to make before showing the house were correct and very valuable. Bob and Heidi’s enthusiasm gave us reason for optimism throughout the sales process.” “Thanks for everything!”Mary and Mike Schwartz
“We would like to thank Orchid Island Realty for their guidance and assistance in our recent home sale.
We have bought and sold several properties with Orchid Island Realty and all have been a positive experience.
It was a real comfort to know that Bob and his staff took care of the details from listing the home, right on thru to the closing of the sale.”
