We have been helping people realize their dreams since 2002.
Meet the Business Owner: Chris B.
I'm Chris Baynes, owner of Chris Baynes & Associates with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage. I've been in real estate here in Wilmington, NC since 1996, licensed as an NC broker since 2002 (license
#197154), and have now closed more than 1,000 transactions across New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick Counties. My wife co-owns the team with me, and we keep it small on purpose so every client gets real attention, not a call center. I also own rental property myself and spent 16 years running a property management company, so I understand the investment side firsthand, not just the sales side. More than 80% of my business comes from past clients sending their friends and family my way, and that still means more to me than any award. Outside the office, I'm an avid hunter and angler here in southeastern NC. I'm a straight shooter: no fluff, just honest guidance whether you're buying, selling, or just want to know what your home is worth
