 How Kitty Hawk got its name is a matter of local debate, but most people agree that it is derived from the Native American name that originally appeared on English settlers’ maps as “Chickehawk” or “Chickahawk” in the early 1700’s. Since that time, locals spelled the name as we do today, with old land deeds referring to settlements as “Kittyhuk,” “Kittyhark,” and “Kitty Hawk.” Kitty Hawk’s 12 square miles are home to several year round and vacation communities, shopping, restaurants and entertainment activities. When the town of Kitty Hawk is mentioned, one can't help but to think of the Wright brothers who flew their first successful powered aircraft back in 1903. Yet what many people don't realize is that Orville and Wilbur Wright actually flew that first successful flight from nearby Kill Devil Hills. From there, the brothers came to the nearest telegraph office, the US Coast Guard Lifesaving Station Number 6 in Kitty Hawk, to let their father know of their success. Station Number 6 is still here and operating as the Black Pelican Seafood Restaurant. The old building is an integral part of the restaurant which has become a favorite gathering spot for locals and visitors. |  | | | Kitty Hawk - Station 6 (now The Black Pelican Restaurant) | |

Home Inspections >Inspection Repairs
When you sell a house, the buyers will probably have a home inspection before they sign a contract to purchase the home. The inspector may turn up something that needs attention or repair, and after the inspection, the buyers may produce a list of items they want repaired as a condition for moving forward on the sale.
When you get the buyers' list, remember that some of the items may be negotiable. Sales contracts usually require that all the systems be in working condition. Some buyers may make requests that go beyond the normal obligations of the seller. They may ask for a new roof or certain structural repairs that you may not want to make. Your agent can help you to assess the risks of just saying "no" to buyers who are making demands you consider to be unreasonable. You may decide to decline the requests, but the buyers may also decide to back out of the deal as a result.
When you agree to make repairs, hire licensed professionals who will guarantee their work, and give copies of the reports to the buyers. Arrange to have the repairs made as far ahead of time to avoid last-minute complications which could compromise the transaction.
