North Carolina Academy of Real Estate welcomes Pat Watson to its instructional staff. Pat will be instructing pre-licensing, post-licensing, UPDATE and BICAR classes.

She came to the Outer Banks from Pennsylvania in 1999 and began her real estate career in 2002 after graduating from NCARE and obtaining her salesperson and broker's license that year.

After moving to the Outer Banks, she knew she wanted to sell real estate. It fit like a glove and she went on to have a successful real estate career, owning a franchise company and then becoming broker/owner of Carolina Properties.

From 2009-2010 she worked as a productivity coach for a large real estate firm where she coached and trained new and experienced agents on all facets of the industry. She guided agents through the complexities of all transactions including those involving short sales and bank-owned properties.

"I love to see others succeed in a business that has brought so much joy and prosperity to me. Becoming an instructor is a goal that I have always strived to reach," she said. "Now I have a chance to help other agents become better educated as this market goes through its changes and heads toward a recovery. Their value will increase with continual education."

She has a master's degree in education and has her ABR designation. Pat also is a Certified Life Coach and is owner of Cornerstones Life Coaching. She resides in Duck.
