with a personal touch

Rob and Lindsay Close founded Salt & Sand Realty in 2020 with a dream of providing a level of service that is unmatched in the industry. They envisioned a company that provided a family atmosphere, not just internally but also for their guests, homeowner partners, and clients – where no one felt like just another number. Since then, they have successfully developed a proven recipe that delivers excellence for their clients, vacation rental homeowners, and guests while continuing to embrace the charm of the island’s traditional family-friendly vacation ambiance that they fell in love with years ago.

About Rob & Lindsay

We Fell in Love with Oak Island

The Close family fell in love with Oak Island the moment they first crossed the bridge and have been regular visitors for many years. They purchased a home with the goal of someday retiring at the beach and using the home as a vacation oasis for others to enjoy until then. After a short time managing their home from out of state, Rob and Lindsay knew their heart belonged in Oak Island, and they developed a strong passion for the area vacation rental and real estate market.

Our Continued Mission

Always Looking Ahead

It’s all about learning, evolving, and staying ahead of the trends here at Salt and Sand Realty! Whether we’re adding new advanced technology to provide additional market insights, enhancing our communications and systems, or growing our services to provide more benefits; we remain committed to providing the absolute best experience and resources available to the Oak Island market for our vacation guests, homeowner partners, real estate clients, and employees.
