Looking for a second home or place to retire takes more than a day or two. Sometimes it can take months or years so, wouldn't it be nice to have someone on the ground here that becomes your friend and trusted confidant?

The team at Carolina Plantations Real Estate have all relocated here from chillier climates, so we understand your concerns for finding that special place where you'll quickly feel right at home. Your search involves a lot more than finding a nice home and no other real estate firm in Southeastern North Carolina is more prepared to assist you on your journey. We are not your typical general real estate brokerage firm where we open up doors till you cry Uncle. Our goal is to provide you with all the pertinent information you need to make a well educated decision. Nobody does what we do.

In 2006, Carolina Plantations Real Estate opened its doors and has since helped thousands of clients who have been considering calling this area home.

The union of Carolina Plantations Real Estate and Plan View Design has been significant for many clients of both firms. PVD allows our Brokers to plot homes on homesites our clients might be considering to purchase prior to writing up offers. And if the homesite is the right one, we can design your Dream Home that matches your exact requirements, no matter the size.

Since 2006, Plan View Design has won more awards for homes designed in Brunswick County than any other custom home designer, and the reason is simple. PVD is the only company that designs homes in full color 3D – which means you see your home both inside and outside before the first shovel is in the ground. Plus, the Brokers at Carolina Plantations work with just about every custom home builder in Southeastern North Carolina, so from selecting your plantation, homesite, design and builder, we are with you every step of the way.
