SOLD in Leland, NC 🎉

Another wonderful close for Christopher & Dezarae Graham—this 3-bedroom home on 5 private acres in Leland just found its people. Space like this, tucked away but still close to everything, doesn't come around often.

Congratulations to everyone who made this one happen.

Prices Are Climbing With Purpose 📈

Median sales price across the Wilmington MSA hit $430,000 in July—up 7.53% year-over-year. Not a spike, a steady climb reflecting real, sustained demand.

If you're a seller, this is the kind of trend line that works in your favor.

"A phenomenal job from start to finish." 💛

Thank you for trusting Devon with your condo purchase! Looking for that same experience? We'd love to help.

Neighborhood spotlight: Ogden 🏡

Close enough to feel connected, far enough to feel settled—Ogden has quietly become one of Wilmington's most practical choices, with easy access to shopping, schools, and the beach without the downtown price tag.

PENDING 🤝

This Shallotte lot just went under contract, and it took the right kind of patience to get here. Land deals move differently than a house, due diligence, timelines, and the works, and this one's a great example of staying the course until it's right.

Meet Derrick Blanks II 🏡

Born and raised in Southeastern North Carolina, Derrick doesn't just work in these neighborhoods—he lives in them. As a Wilmington homeowner and lifelong local, he brings genuine insight into the communities across New Hanover and Brunswick Counties that only comes from actually growing up here.

He also brings something else to the table: a B.B.A. in Finance from UNCW, which means clients get real clarity on property valuations, financing, and investment strategy—not just neighborhood knowledge.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seller looking to maximize your home's potential, or an investor building a portfolio, Derrick brings both local roots and financial expertise to every transaction.
