Amber Hardy

Untitled design-5.png

Amber has lived and breathed Edenton and the Abemarle Area since her arrival 14 years ago. Before she jumped headfirst into Real Estate, she owned a children’s shop in the Downtown District. An avid community liaison, Amber was the Edenton-Chowan Chamber of Commerce President for two years and currently serves as the Vice Chair for the Edenton-Chowan Tourism Development Authority (Visit Edenton). She volunteers with numerous organizations throughout the town, such as Main Street Edenton and Chowan Middle School Booster Club. Amber spreads her 'Christmas cheer' by heading up the annual Flotilla each season and was even named "Chowan County Volunteer of the Year" for 2024 and selected by her real estate peers in 2025 by receiving the "Good Neighbor Award".

 

Year after year in the top 15 for sales in the Albemarle region, Amber prides herself on having the most sales transactions in Chowan County for the past few years. Although she sells all types of properties from commercial buildings to vacant lots and homes, Amber has found a passion in selling properties ready for rehab, which, one by one, helps improve our beautiful town. 

 

When not working, you can find her along the streets of Downtown Edenton, at ball fields, and on our picturesque waters with her son, Camden. Amber often uses the phrase, “Love Where You Live,” and she truly does. She embraces her community, and more often than not, each of her clients turns quickly into a friend.
