For 43 years, Margaret Rudd & Associates, Inc., REALTORS® (MRA) has played an integral role in shaping the vacation and tourism industry locally in the Southport, Oak Island, and surrounding areas. The MRA brand is well known and well respected. We provide award-winning customer service, hold ourselves to the highest of ethical standards, and remain committed to supporting our fellow businesses and non-profits in the area.
Each year we welcome an average 15,000 out-of-town guests from all over the country. In 2023, we saw 395,000+ unique website visitors and we currently boast over 30,000 collective social media followers. Our short term rental guests vacation with us anywhere from 2 nights to 3 months. We answer questions and provide valuable information - suggesting things to do, events to attend, places to eat and shop, and how to make each family vacation more memorable than the last.
With your help, we can offer more value and information (and possibly exclusive discounts) to our guests through our Community Partnership Program. Learn more about the partnership opportunities available for the 2024 year and reach out to us at marketing@rudd.com with any questions you may have!
