Eddie Kavanaugh

Born and raised in the Ocean View area of Norfolk, Virginia, Eddie Kavanaugh attending Norfolk Catholic and Old Dominion University before making the Outer Banks his home in 1989 when he moved to Ocean Hill in Corolla, and shortly thereafter began his career in real estate.

With a natural ability to connect with people and a deep understanding of the Outer Banks community, Eddie quickly established himself in the local real estate industry. His early experience in vacation rental property management gave him an invaluable perspective on the unique opportunities and challenges of owning real estate on the Outer Banks—and provided the foundation for his long-standing partnership with Denise Graham.

In 2001, Eddie and Denise founded Corolla Classic Vacations, building a successful vacation rental company and developing lifelong relationships with homeowners throughout the Outer Banks. Their years of working directly with property owners gave them an intimate understanding of the local market, vacation properties, and what makes an Outer Banks investment successful.

In 2012, Eddie and Denise brought joined forces at Corolla Real Estate. Today, they bring more than 60 years of combined Outer Banks real estate knowledge to their clients, with a particular understanding of Corolla and the northern Outer Banks.

Whether helping clients purchase a vacation home, investment property, second home, or permanent residence, or guiding homeowners through the process of selling their Outer Banks property, Eddie takes a hands-on approach built on experience, local knowledge, and genuine relationships. He understands that buying or selling an Outer Banks property is about much more than a transaction—it’s about making a sound investment and, often, a significant life decision.

Eddie lives in Southern Shores with his wife, Jen, and their three cats, Jeter, Mo, and Cheddar. Outside of real estate, he enjoys cheering on the New York Yankees and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, live music, and traveling to Key West, Florida.

If you're considering buying or selling real estate on the Outer Banks, Eddie would love the opportunity to hear about your plans and put his experience to work for you.

Corolla Real Estate sold our Outer Banks home in minimal time and at close to the asking price. We had excellent interest in the home from the day it was listed and received multiple offers. Denise and Eddie have an encyclopedic knowledge of the real estate market in northern OBX and are hard-working, honest, and professional. We highly recommend them.

Eddie was absolutely amazing! He went far beyond what other realtors I have worked with provided. He never hesitated to help, even while we were 400 miles away in PA with remodeling questions and concerns. I still check in with Eddie nearly three years later, as he truly is one of the good guys in Corolla. Well done is an understatement!

My family and I couldn't thank Eddie and Denise enough for all that they did to help us with our home purchase. They went above and beyond during the purchasing process. They were always available and willing to help in any way without even being asked. It was always a pleasure to work with such kind and friendly people. We highly recommend these two if you're in need of a home. Thanks, Eddie and Denise, we hope to see you at the beach!

Within a few short periods of time, Denise and Eddie helped us to find, negotiate, and close on our dream home. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive (even during a hurricane). They were able to recommend vendors for us to move forward with. The whole experience was seamless, and they were a pleasure to work with!

It was a pleasure to work with Denise and Eddie at Corolla Real Estate. The transaction was completed as scheduled, and they kept us up to date every step of the way. We live out of state, but felt as if we were right there with them negotiating our deal. Thank you both.

My husband and I have worked with Eddie Kavanaugh and Denise Graham on numerous occasions, with both selling and buying homes in the Outer Banks Area. You will not find any realtors with better knowledge of the area, homes, and people. They will do everything in their power to make a deal work. We have always appreciated their knowledge, honesty, integrity, and loyalty. They truly know how to “sell” the Outer Banks.

Denise goes far beyond the expectations of any realtor we have ever worked with. She recently helped us purchase a fabulous home in Corolla Light Resort in an extremely competitive market. We cannot thank Denise enough for making this happen! Denise was constantly previewing homes for us, sending us videos, face timing so we could walk through the houses with her, but more importantly, always looking out for our best interest. She was instrumental in helping secure our dream home at the right price. Denise is extremely detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and she made sure everything was done efficiently and correctly. She handled all aspects of this purchase for us. We have actually known Denise for a number of years, we once owned another house and used Corolla Classic Vacations for our rental company. Naturally, when we decided to sell, we contracted with Denise (and Eddie) to sell our house. Again, Denise was constantly in contact with us and let us know exactly what was happening every step of the way. We cannot begin to tell you how impressed we are with Denise (and Eddie) for OBX realtors. If you are looking for a fabulous realtor, look no further. Denise, we love you! Thank you again for all your help and hand-holding.

We just sold our beach house, and I’ve got to tell you- Denise and Eddie were absolute rockstars! I can’t even begin to express how thrilled we were with the whole selling experience. These two are seriously in a league of their own. Their market know-how is spot on. Their eye for detail? Incredible. And don’t even get me started on their negotiation skills- pure magic. If you’re looking for a dynamic duo to handle your real estate needs, look no further. Denise and Eddie are the dream team. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

I would definitely recommend Denise and Eddie. They work well as a team, and I have had the pleasure of knowing them in a number of different positions over the past 30 years. They are personable, professional, well-informed, and efficient. Recently, they acted as dual agents and listed and sold our busy Corolla Light rental home within 6 weeks. Technology has changed real estate, but it is still based on people.
