Jim and Pat Carter, founders of Jim & Pat Carter Real Estate, White Stone, Virginia — A CHESAPEAKE BAY FAMILY BROKERAGE

In 1957, in the small village of White Stone, Virginia, Jim and Pat Carter opened a real estate firm. The age of the steamboat had just slipped into memory — only a generation earlier, people and cargo moved along these rivers as they had for centuries: by water. That same year, the Robert O. Norris Bridge opened nearby, replacing the old ferry. The road found the Northern Neck. The Northern Neck remained a land apart.
Jim and Pat fell in love with it all. The deep-water harbors and the white-sand beaches. The broad rivers, the meandering creeks. The old houses from every era of the country’s making. Together they drove every country lane of the peninsula, restored one of its earliest homes, and raised their growing family there.
Nearly seventy years later, Jim & Pat Carter Real Estate remains rooted in White Stone. Family-owned. Independent. Without equal in our knowledge of this region — and of the fine waterfront homes along its shores.
A house on the Chesapeake Bay is never only a house. It is a way of living, passed from one generation to the next.
