    I was looking for a smaller firm that could provide the training, support, patience and flexibility that I needed to grow and become successful in the industry. Our Owner/Broker-in Charge, Dana, has certainly provided what I’ve needed to become successful throughout the past six years. Dana’s expertise and experience has guided me through each transaction.

    The Graham Real Estate Team

  • "Carolyn made the sale of our New Hanover County property seamless from start to finish!

    Her knowledge of the Wilmington market and ability to bridge communication between buyer and seller were invaluable. Since we don't live in North Carolina, it was especially important to have someone we could fully trust — and she delivered. She was always available, kept us informed every step of the way, and made sure we understood everything as it happened. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience.

    Bobby and Barbara P.

  • They are respectable people, friendly honest beautiful spirit they always answer your calls when you need them and quick to return calls to answer whatever questions you have!

    Also, if they don’t know, they will find out the answer they will walk with you all the way until finish or shall I say until close out. Such sweet people.

    Wanda Brown

  • Mrs Blanks made our first real-estate experience a personable experience!

    No regrets whatsoever. We will definitely be using her company in the future for any buying or selling that we face.

    She was on top of every aspect and also provided great advice. I would definitely recommend her company to my family and friends.

    Jane Faulkner

    She is knowledgeable of neighborhoods and uses technique to get the most qualified buyer for your property. Dana is patient and available to answer questions of your concern. She was a dual agent for us and had our best interest in mind. Dana is an asset in the field of real estate.

    Cathy Wilder

  • We can't thank Dana enough for making our first time home buying experience so fun and easy! She is very knowledgeable and professional!

    She was always there to answer any questions that we had and guide us through the process. Dana took the time to understand exactly what we wanted in a house and she found that for us.

    D. Lehman

    She asked what we wanted and helped us find it. She was so nice and easy going . She explained everything during the entire process. If we didn’t understand something she took her time to explain it.

    Mr. & Mrs. Brown

  • 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.

    R. Galloway

  • 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.

    Alicia J.

  • 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.

    Ryan and Samantha Walker

  • 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.

    Christine Hart

  • Marie Griffin is a very attentive realtor and available to support you whenever needed!

    She helped to make this process go smoothly for me as a first time home buyer. I am fortunate to have benefited from her expertise in real estate.

    Vincent Jones, Jr.

  • 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.

    Ahkee and Shavica James

    Brenda Williams

  • 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 Southeast NC area.
