Kitty Hawk, NC, October 03, 2013 --(PR.com)-- For the first time in the company’s eight year history, Outer Banks Blue Realty Services is part of Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs.

According to Inc. Magazine there are nearly seven million private companies in the US and Outer Banks Blue has been ranked No. 43 in the “Top 100 Travel & Hospitality Companies” in America by Inc. Magazine and No. 3929 among America’s 5000 fasting growing private companies.

Outer Banks Blue was formed by Tim Cafferty in 2005 after over 25 years in property management on the Outer Banks. Cafferty had experience in a smaller, family operated company that evolved into a leader on the Outer Banks in occupancy numbers and technology under his expertise. He later managed a nationally recognized, publicly owned corporation boasting one of the largest inventories of homes on the Outer Banks. His experiences led to the creation of Outer Banks Blue Realty Services, with the vision of a more personalized experience for the owner and the guest.

“I am humbled to know that our company is considered among the 5,000 fastest growing private companies in the country and ranked among the top 50 Travel and Hospitality companies,” stated Cafferty. “It is a testament to the wonderful professionals that work here at Outer Banks Blue, and the wonderful properties and homeowners that we represent.
