I began my real estate career in 1991 working as the "right hand" of one of the Outer Banks leading real estate firms, Bob DeGabrielle & Associates.

In 1998 when the company was sold and renamed to BD&A Realty & Construction, I received my Brokers License and became a partner.  My specialty involved managing and training a sales staff of about 50 agents.  I was also responsible for processing and maintaining all sales contracts from their inception to closing.  Annual sales volumes exceed a billion dollars per year.

In 2003 after many years as a Broker/Owner, I decided to sell my stock and spend some time with my family. After nearly a year with my son, I came back to work with Beach Realty & Construction as a full time Associate Broker for nearly three years.

I was honored in November of 2006 to be asked to join RE/MAX Ocean Realty the Top Producing Real Estate Company on the Outer Banks.  In 2007 after just one year with RE/MAX I earned my place in the Top 100 Producing Agents on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

I offer all my clients an extensive knowledge of the construction industry, with an emphasis on the Outer Banks Real Estate market. 

My background as Broker In-Charge gives me the knowledge and background to aid my clients in every step of the selling or buying process. After nearly 17 years in the business, my philosophy exemplifies a life dedicated to Real Estate by a true Professional.

Dear Tammy, 

Tom and I wanted to take an opportunity to let you know how much we appreciated your efforts to help us find a home in the Outer Banks.  All of us very much enjoyed working with you.

We were very impressed with your knowledge, experience, enthusiastic attitude.  Your responsiveness, quick turnaround time, and marathon schedules for showing, made it possible for us to find what we wanted efficiently and with confidence.  Your assistance and availability during the financing and closing process were exemplary as well and your personality made it a pleasure.

We are thrilled with our new home and also very glad to have met you.  Your firm has a real asset in Tammy Petersen, and obviously we would extend our highest recommendation for anyone interested in real estate in this area.

Best Regards,

Lois, Tom, Cameron & Campbell
