Salt, surf, sand, and scenic sunsets only begin to describe what’s in store as you explore beautiful Holden Beach! The South Brunswick Islands offer small-town charm with all the conveniences of Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC just a short drive away.

It is easy to sell something you believe in and I believe in the bright outlook of Brunswick County as it boasts being one of the nation’s fastest-growing areas. As a Brunswick County native, with family roots spanning several generations, not only do I know the lay of the land but have a breadth of knowledge and experience that has been seasoned over time. Progressive and resourceful, I am able to draw from previous professional involvement in the construction of new homes, in the oversight of distinctive communities, and in the operations of the local vacation rental market.

Whether you’re interested in purchasing an investment property, a primary residence, a second home or need help selling a property, let’s work together. Get a glimpse of authentic Southern hospitality by working with a realtor that will be courteous and attentive to you!

Mindy Overocker

Our family decided to move to Holden Beach in 1993 after multiple vacations to check it out. Researching the area beaches, we found Holden Beach to be the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility—with all the modern conveniences necessary to raising a family and conducting business just a short drive away. My husband and I found this to be an exceptional place to raise our family. We have been very happy with the public school system and the availability of activities for our children. Most importantly, our area’s low crime rate allows us to relax and enjoy the natural beauty around us, knowing we have chosen a safe haven in which to raise our kids. It was my good fortune to join Coastal Development & Realty in 1997. Coastal Development is a full-service company, offering sales and rental management, as well as award-winning design and construction of new homes. This makes our company the perfect choice for those who want to own coastal property, whether for investment or their own enjoyment or a combination of both.

Rick Winner

A native of Pennsylvania, I have over 30 years of experience working with people to make things happen. I spent the first 15 years of my career working with Bell Laboratories, AT&T, Lucent Technologies, and IBM, in a variety of fields, including IC design, lightwave development, software design, project development, and information management. In 1999, I launched my real estate career in the Atlanta, Georgia area. My family and I relocated in 2000 to southeastern North Carolina, calling Holden Beach my home. Currently, I am the Managing Broker of the sales team here at our Holden Beach office

My wife, Dr. Laurie M. Winner, is a nurse at one of the local hospitals and is also known in our area by many for her chiropractic care at Holden Beach Family Chiropractic. Our grown children, Elise and Eric, attended West Brunswick High School and Brunswick Community College before continuing their college experiences elsewhere. We’ve all been active in the community and are members of Sharon United Methodist Church. I’ve served in various ministry and leadership roles in the church, including finance, trustees, treasurer, audio/visual and youth. In 2003, I served on the Brunswick County Board of Realtors as a director and participated on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Committee to assist in technology development to maintain online property data. In my 14 years here in the Holden Beach area, I have helped over 225 families successfully buy and sell property in the Brunswick County area. I have worked all aspects of the real estate market, from residential land and homes to commercial property. I take pride in my ability to find just the right property, conduct business pleasantly, and provide expedient, professional service from contract to closing. I look forward to helping you with all of your real estate needs. Please contact me so I can help you. Isn’t it time you worked with a Winner!

Ronda Dixon

From the moment I set foot on Holden Beach in 1985, I dreamed of making it my home. But, I had a lot of things to accomplish before then, such as raising a family, selling for several Fortune 100 corporations, traveling and investing in real estate.

I began with a second home/rental property on Holden Beach and spent the next 25+ years involved in both residential and commercial real estate, as well as leasing, financing, and complex negotiations. I was also selling and providing solutions to Fortune 500 clients in the high tech industry.

Finally, in 1998 I made Holden Beach my permanent home. For many years I practiced real estate as an independent broker, and I am proud to say that I joined the Coastal Development & Realty team in 2011. I made this decision because of the strength of this organization and the unique ability to provide a complete solution to our clients. This includes the sale and purchase of real estate, a strong rental program, spectacular coastal communities and the beauty of a Mark Saunders Luxury home, all under one umbrella.

I have dedicated my professional life to serving clients, listening to their needs and providing custom solutions. My love for Holden Beach is profound and unwavering. Whether you’re looking for investment opportunities, small business, rentals, second homes, or hoping to make Holden Beach your permanent home, I’d love to work with you.
