Sell a house inland and the buyer probably lives nearby. Sell one on Carolina Beach and there is a real chance the buyer is in Ohio, shopping for a second home or a rental they will see four times a year. Marketing an island property is mostly a distance problem, and solving it decides what the house brings.
Distance is what the syndication half of the 26-point plan is for. Listings from Chris Baynes & Associates run on Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, Trulia, Redfin and every other major search site, and they run in Zillow's Showcase format, which the site opens to only about 10% of a market's listings. Property at the upper end also qualifies for Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, an international marketing network Chris Baynes can use as a Certified Global Luxury Specialist and most agents in New Hanover County cannot.
Buyers from out of state always ask what a place rents for. Chris and Angela Baynes ran a property management company from 2009 to 2025, so that question draws a real answer rather than a shrug. The performance holds up too: a median 17.5 days to contract against a 58-day New Hanover County average, at 98.89% of list price.
Owners selling a house in Carolina Beach can reach Chris Baynes & Associates, part of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage, at 910-470-4408.
