Helping people find the right home is about far more than contracts and closing dates—it's about understanding their goals, earning their trust, and making one of life's biggest decisions feel exciting instead of overwhelming.

A North Carolina native who has experienced life in different parts of the state as well as West Virginia, he understands what it's like to relocate, build a life in a new community, and find the place that truly feels like home. Today, Brayden, his wife and two children call Kure Beach home, embracing the coastal lifestyle they're proud to share with others.

Before entering real estate, he owned and operated a successful business and earned a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That combination of entrepreneurial experience and counseling training shapes the way he serves clients—with patience, empathy, honest communication, and a genuine desire to understand what matters most to each individual and family.

Ever the adventure seeker, he also completed the entire Appalachian Trail

—a journey that demanded perseverance, patience, and the ability to solve problems one step at a time. Those same qualities define how Brayden approaches real estate- steady under pressure, committed to the long game, and focused on helping clients reach their destination with confidence.

As a REALTOR® with BlueCoast Realty, he works with buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Coastal North Carolina, from luxury waterfront homes to investment properties and primary residences. Regardless of the price point, every client receives the same level of attention, professionalism, and personalized service.

Real estate isn't just about finding the right property—it's about helping people create the life they envision. Whether you're making a move across town or across the country, you can count on a trusted advisor who will listen first, communicate clearly, and always put your goals at the center of the experience.

Some houses are designed around rooms. This one is designed around living well. Set on a private, beautifully landscaped property in sought-after Warlick Estates, this custom-built home has been completely remodeled from top to bottom, pairing the character and craftsmanship of an established home with the ease of one that has already been thoughtfully brought forward. Classic brick. Charming dormers. A broad front porch. Mature landscaping that has had time to become what new construction spends years trying to achieve. Inside, the transformation is immediately apparent. The interiors feel fresh and refined. Hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring move through the home, the kitchen and baths have been beautifully updated, and the mostly one-level layout makes everyday life remarkably easy. Three bedrooms are situated on the main floor, with additional bedroom upstairs. It is a house with room to spread out without requiring you to live on multiple levels. The kitchen sits naturally at the heart of things. Quartz surfaces, updated finishes, generous storage, and an easy connection to the surrounding living spaces make it equally suited to a quiet Tuesday night or a house full of people. Nothing feels overly formal. Nothing feels forgotten. The renovation has been approached as a whole rather than as a collection of unrelated updates. And then there is the backyard. Step outside and the property becomes something else entirely. A heated saltwater pool and cascading hot tub sit within an expansive travertine terrace, surrounded by mature landscaping that creates an unusual degree of privacy. There are places to swim, places to sit, places to eat, and places to disappear with a book for an afternoon. An outdoor kitchen makes dinner outside an easy decision. The masonry wood-burning fireplace gives the space a reason to stay open well beyond summer. A pergola, outdoor shower, heated screened porch and thoughtfully placed landscape lighting carry the experience from morning coffee through late evenings by the fire. It feels less like a backyard and more like a place you would normally pack a bag to visit. The detached poolside structure refuses to have just one job. The current owners have used it as a comfortable retreat, with climate control, a private bathroom and its own entrance. The next owner might see something entirely different: a quiet home office separated from the activity of the house, a yoga or fitness studio, a creative space, a private teen or young adult retreat, or simply somewhere to close the door for an hour. Its value is in the flexibility. There are practical details here, too--the things that rarely make the glamorous part of a listing but matter enormously once you actually live somewhere. A mostly one-level floor plan. A separate bonus space. A screened porch when the weather is perfect but the mosquitoes disagree. An outdoor shower after the pool. Space for a boat. Wired for a generator. No HOA dictating how the property should be enjoyed. And privacy. Real privacy. The mature trees and landscaping surrounding the property give the outdoor spaces a sense of separation that is increasingly difficult to find. You can have a house full of people around the pool and still feel removed from the world beyond it. That may ultimately be what distinguishes this home. It has been remodeled beautifully, certainly. But the more compelling story is how all of its pieces work together--the house, the pool, the detached retreat, the outdoor kitchen, the fireplace, the porches, the landscaping and the land itself. A home built for ordinary Tuesdays as much as summer Saturdays. When home feels this much like a destination, there is little reason to leave.
