Caroline Dugas and Tania Upchurch were extremely hands on and proactive in all aspects of the marketing, staging, communications, feedback, and following up with other realtors. They have a team strategy with the capability to stage the home to create the right setting and buyer impression by utilizing their own warehouse of accessories, furnishings. The team also utilizes very good service technicians to address any needed repairs or needed enhancements as part of the comprehensive plan to sell my home. Outstanding service, responsiveness, and expertise of the local market. Caroline provided excellent guidance on what it takes to sell my home and has the capability and local contacts to make it happen. She was very responsive and proactive in the staging, feedback, market intelligence, and marketing of my home. A very high performance realtor. The Living Seaside Group is an excellent team. Tania Uphurch is outstanding and very responsive in showing the house, staging the house, engaging local contacts, responding to any issues, and keeping me updated in a very timely manner. Shane provides excellent home repair services as part of the team. I strongly recommend Caroline Dugas and her team. They have strong capabilities to stage your house (even using their own "sweat equity"),,proactively market your house, provide guidance, and leverage their local market expertise and extensive professional contacts to yield very good sales results.

Caroline was absolutely amazing. My husband and I were purchasing a house while living in New York and the entire process could not have been more seamless because of Caroline. She went above and beyond in every single aspect. When I told my friends and family members ways that she was helping us, everyone raved about how lucky we were to have an agent like Caroline. We are super thankful for all her help, hard work, and many hours dedicated to finding us the perfect house. After finding the perfect house and closing she continued to impress us by doing everything possible to make sure it was move in ready when we made our way down to wilmington. I don’t think you could ask for a better agent! Everyone in the group was so helpful! There were several times we wanted to FaceTime from New York to see the house in Wilmington, and different employees would meet us at each house at any house so we could do so and it was super helpful! It could not have been better. Caroline was amazing to work with. We can not speak more highly of her.

Caroline is the best!! Literally. She is professional, yet very compassionate and patient in her dealings with her clients! She's also very knowledgeable and I've never know anyone who works as hard as she does. Caroline and Living Seaside are the only realtor's I would consider using in the future and highly recommend them to my family and friends.

This was a home of our parents & we did not live in Wilmington ~ all the experience & contacts Caroline were able to have were exceptional ~ she & her team handled all aspects with so much love & dedication ~ for that we are eternally grateful~

Caroline made the home buying process easy and efficient. She has a lot of knowledge and a good network. Caroline pays attention to details and gets things done.

When we decided to sell our house, I checked out Zillow for realtors who had a lot of sales in our area, and then I read their reviews. Caroline's reviews were impressive and I especially liked that she offered staging as part of her expertise. I called and got an immediate response from Carolina: a very enthusiastic, energetic lady. She and Tania came to assess our house and encouraged us to sell it for top dollar. Her team actually came in and PAINTED some of our wood work and some new doors we just had installed. While we cleaned the house and tried to refresh it, they came behind with their eagle eyes and spotted areas that needed improvement. They brought in chairs and pillows and bold accent pieces to spruce up our home to make it look showcase ready, making good on their claim that they stage houses. They were also very kind and patient with my elderly father in helping him get his side of the house ready for show. Thanks to everyone working together to declutter, depersonalize and glam-it-up, we sold our home on the second day it was listed, and even got a strong, signed backup contract to ease our minds if something fell through with the first buyer. A lot of people say, "If you sold that quickly, then you probably sold for too low." But, Caroline took our home in a community where the comps are in the mid-$100Ks and was able to justify us selling our home for almost $220K (a ways above what we would have asked without their help). Our home will now be known as the highest priced house ever to sell in our community. So, if you're looking for a go-getter, someone who, with your faith and cooperation, will help you get top dollar and will be there to hold your hand through the process, Caroline is the one to go with; and I give Tania many kudos for giving us advice to make decisions on how to handle the offers we received.

Caroline goes above and beyond at every turn. She helped me sell my 88 year old aunt's house in Kure Beach,NC. She not only helped with staging, but also with updating the 1980's house. If you have a chance to work with Caroline consider yourself lucky.

I have bought/sold three homes with Caroline and recommend her to EVERYONE I know! She is so professional and the hardest working realtor I have ever met! She not only knows the market in Wilmington, NC and surrounding areas, but she knows real estate in every way! She will show you houses around your schedule, which sounds easy, but my schedule is crazy because of work, kids and life! Caroline found the home we are in now and I wasn't even looking in that area. We could not be happier and she knew it would be a great fit for us! I do not take the time to write reviews, but I assure you that she deserves my time to write this, as she gave me so much of her time to find the perfect home for our family! I without any hesitation recommend Caroline Dugas and her team! You will be extremely happy with your experience, as we were with working with her!

Caroline sold my house to the perfect buyer on the first/second day of listing. She also helped me through the "updating process" as well as the staging. My house sole before two NEW houses down the street. Finally, she helped me with securing contractors who repaired requests from buyers after inspection. Overall an unbelieveable process! What a great person and realtor!
