About Midgett Realty
Serving Hatteras Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina has been a Midgett family tradition for over a century. In the 1960s two brothers named Midgett started a real estate company, and today, their children, grandchildren and other staff of Midgett Realty offer over 560 vacation cottages and condos for rent.
The Midgett family has lived on the Outer Banks for at least three centuries, and today's Midgetts are descendants of the tough, independent seafaring men and women who managed to thrive and survive on these isolated barrier islands. They have been fishermen and lifesavers and surfmen, and they have been the operators of the famous Hatteras Island - Manteo Bus Line, which carried islanders and visitors up and down the beach in the days before roads and bridges.
Today they are the owners of Hatteras Island's premier, full-service real estate company. Midgett Realty is one of the island's oldest family owned businesses, and the only real estate company owned and managed by Hatteras Island natives. The Midgett Realty family stands ready to share with you all the experiences they have had in several generations of living and working on Hatteras Island.
