I am a client of Carolyn Blue, Dana Blanks Real Estate!
Mrs. Blue made the process of purchasing my first home a breeze. Our family appreciated the professionalism throughout the process. We closed on a new construction in Wilmington, N.C. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to purchase in North or South Carolina. Thank you.

Dana Banks Real Estate has really made my dream come true!
Had it not been for Ms. Carolyn Blue, i would have given up a while ago. She was very personable, patient, and determined to help me find the perfect home for me and my family. Buying a home in today’s market was stressful, but she was very encouraging and I’m so thankful and appreciative for her perseverance. I highly recommend this company, and guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Caroline Blue was the absolute best realtor that we have ever worked with!
She helped us sell our existing house for top dollar all while finding us our dream home. In selling our existing house for more than we imagined, she was able to give us financial freedom. The road to purchasing a new house was not easy. Our initial contract fell through and we were heart-broken but also scared of where our family would stay if we could not get back under contract quickly. She was able to get us under contract the same day with a different house, doubly as amazing as the previous. I cannot recommend Miss Carolyn enough. She helped secure our dream home where our children will grow and we will make so many memories.

Marie, it was a pleasure working with you in the sale of my home!
I never heard of a home being sold as fast as mine. You were very professional and kind. You even took the time to pray for me when you heard about my situation. You even kept up with me after the sale to see how I was doing. You are truly a woman of God. I will recommend you to any of my friends or anyone looking for a realtor. You are in my prayers.

We sold a home and purchased a new home with Carolyn Blue from Dana Blanks Real Estate!
Carolyn took a potentially stressful situation and transformed it into the most incredible experience anyone could ask for. Carolyn not only listened to our needs, but she also went above and beyond by anticipating our wants and deal breakers based on our family dynamic. Mrs. Blue gave expert advice, but she also offered her perspective as if we were her own family and she only wanted what was best for us. When we sold our home, she staged it so beautifully and priced it just right that we were able to receive multiple offers that led to us accepting a cash offer with a 10-day close. Carolyn helped us find somewhere to live once we sold our home and while purchasing our new home Carolyn worked diligently to find us the home of our dreams. Mrs. Blue was patient with us and never made us feel as if our indecisiveness was bothersome. She always took our calls and thoroughly answered any questions that we had. We would highly recommend Carolyn Blue with Dana Blanks Real Estate and she will continue to be our lifelong realtor.

Dana is a trustworthy professional!
She’s been my agent for two special projects. Initially, she helped me purchase my transition home from Columbia, SC to Shallotte, NC. It was a smooth and stress-free transition. If ever I had a question/concern… she’d calmly say.."No worries.. I’ll take care of it”..and she did!! I highly recommend using Dana Blanks Real Estate if you’re considering relocating anywhere in South East NC area.
