ABOUT COASTAL KEYS REALTY GROUP
Coastal Keys Realty Group grew from a love of Eastern North Carolina and a belief that real estate should be about more than transactions. Based in Beaufort, we bring together experience in real estate, design, new construction, land and development to help clients make thoughtful decisions about the places they call home.
Our perspective has been shaped by years of working with properties, communities and people across Eastern North Carolina. That experience helps us look beyond the transaction itself—to understand the property, the market, the place around it and the questions that should be answered before a decision is made.
We built Coastal Keys to be intentionally personal: rooted in relationships, connected to the communities we serve and willing to take the time to understand what really matters to each client. We listen first, bring thoughtful analysis to the conversation and offer straightforward guidance—even when the best answer may be to wait, keep looking or walk away.

J. Ted Morris, PhD, REALTOR®
Broker-In-Charge
NC License #199729
Ted brings an unusually broad perspective to real estate, shaped by decades of experience in economic and community development, real estate, new construction, land and complex development projects. That background taught him to look beyond the obvious—to understand not only a property, but the market, the place around it and the factors that may affect its long-term value and potential.
As Broker-in-Charge of Coastal Keys Realty Group, Ted works with buyers, sellers, property owners and developers across Eastern North Carolina. His approach is advisory by nature: listen carefully, ask good questions, do the homework and give clients straightforward guidance—even when the right answer may be to wait, keep looking or walk away.
A longtime lover of Eastern North Carolina and anything with a little history and character, Ted is especially drawn to the places and properties that make this part of the state distinctive.
