Join Our Rental Program

Why join the Emerald Isle Realty family?

Emerald Isle Realty was the first real estate company on the island in 1962. We are by far one of the largest property management firms for vacation rentals on our coast. The secret to our success and growth over the last 46 years is hard work and dedication. Innovations within our company, and even in our industry, have been generated by our numerous years of experience. Each day we are committed to homeowner, rental guest and employee satisfaction.

Emerald Isle Realty has been family owned and operated since its beginnings. Each member of the Emerald Isle Realty family takes a sincere interest in managing your home, from maintenance to reservations.

We made the decision years ago to grow our business the old fashioned way by being selective about the homeowners and vacation homes we allowed to join the Emerald Isle Realty inner circle of the island's most beautiful homes. Other companies chose a different path and took shortcuts by purchasing failing property management companies or listing underperforming or poorly maintained units. You be the judge, which resort property management company should be at the helm of your favorite island investment?
