Since 2020, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients buy, sell, and invest in Brunswick County and along the beautiful beaches of Coastal Carolina. Having relocated here myself, I understand firsthand the challenges that come with moving—especially from out of state—and I work hard to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Clients often describe me as responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to trust. I take the time to listen, provide honest guidance, and never apply pressure. Many of my clients share that they felt completely at ease making decisions from afar and appreciated the support they received not just during the transaction, but even after settling into their new home.
Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or searching for your ideal coastal lifestyle, I would love the opportunity to put my local expertise and personal experience to work for you.
Call or text me at 607-725-3097—I’m here to help.

From the start of the whole process, Donna Schultz was the upmost professional and a pleasure to work with. Donna came in after our house had been on the market for quite some time and totally turned things around. From start to finish, it was a first-class experience and we couldn’t be more happier that we chose Donna. Even as the house went under contract, it could have been a very stressful experience with the home buyers we had, but Donna was there every step of the way dotting all the “i’s” and crossing all the “t’s”. I would highly recommend Donna Schultz and the team at Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage for anyone selling or looking to buy a house in Brunswick County, NC. I absolutely give Donna 5 stars and she’ll be the first one I call for any potential purchases in the future. Glenn Subers

We just loved dealing with Donna as our realtor. We wanted to purchase a specific house with certain amenities and she nailed it. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. Residing in Pennsylvania and purchasing a vacation home here in Ocean Isle Beach,NC was made so simple with all the help and support Donna has provided to us. Not only did she help us in finding the home she went out of her way in finding a mortgage company, title company/lawyer, inspection company and the list goes on. Donna did an outstanding job and should be recognized by Coldwell Banker for her work. Her name will be given to all my friends and family that are contemplating on purchasing a home in this area. Thank you Donna!

Donna was very helpful on helping me buy my house. I was an out of state buyer which makes it harder being able to personally walk thru the house. She took the time in helping me with this, (face time). She pointed out several things that were hard to see not being there. She is very friendly, attentive, and smart. She is great in following through with what she says she going to do. I would highly recommend her to friends. I thank her for helping me get my house. Cathy

Donna did an outstanding job as our agent and assisting us with the purchase of our home. She was recommended to us by friends who had made the same out of state move we've made and it was a wonderful recommendation. She was very knowledgeable about our areas of interest and had a folder of possible pre-owned homes and new builds waiting for us when we visited to start our search; we purchased our home during that visit. She negotiated for us with the seller, was always available via email, text, or phone when we had a question and her answers were prompt. She made the entire process of moving to a different state while packing and selling in our current state much less stressful. The entire experience was enjoyable and we were very excited for this new adventure in our lives. Whether you're looking for a retirement home or are a first time home buyer, or are in the market to list our home, I highly recommend Donna as your agent; she won't let you down.

About two years ago my mom left our family to go home to be with Jesus and my husband and I need a realtor to sell her home, so we called Donna. We then had a house that we thought we were going to move into as our retirement home but had a major change in plans. Some friends of ours suggested that we try to sell by owner, so we considered the idea at first but rethought that plan and decided to call Donna again. SO glad we did! She was AmAzInG!! The house was listed and under contract within a month and we closed on it not long after that. I highly recommend Donna; she is a fantastic realtor and became a good friend!!

My wife and I met Donna Shulz totally by chance, we were on vacation at OIB when we saw an open house that she had been showing. We had been thinking about buying in the area for about 5 years, but this year timing was right but really did not know where to start and we really needed someone like Donna Shulz who had patience with us and answered hundreds of questions. When she showed us "the one", Donna again helped us with the offer making sure that we did overpay or overcommit. also, since we were from out of state, she had different people to talk to in comparing financing and property management companies which also was helpful in making good choices. She also did not favor one over the other, but it helped us move forward. All in all, Donna Shulz has helped us and one of our friends buy property and we have continued to recommend her highly for our other friends thinking about buying. Donna is top notch as a person and a realtor. Also, would like to say that we happened to use Coldwell Banker in our home state for a home we were selling, I applaud the Company for their excellent business practices across the country.

We met Donna last summer when the condo above us was for sell. Throughout the showings of that unit, we met countless real estate agents. None came close to the level of professionalism and expertise that Donna Schulz exhibited. We knew then that if we ever decided to sell, we would contact Donna to be our agent. We met with Donna on March 4 to complete the paperwork to list our condo. Our condo sold in less than 48 hours of being on the market. We received many offers, all above asking price. The closing on our condo was three weeks to the day we first met with Donna. She made selling our condo seamless and exemplified the highest level of professionalism that had set her apart when we met her last summer. Donna Schulz is the BEST and her level of dedication to her clients is second to none.

Donna was a joy to work with. Coming in from out of state with very little knowledge of the area, we truly depended upon Donna to help us find our way into a home we fell in love with. She also understood that our time in town was limited, and so she worked tirelessly to make a schedule that allowed us to see the most houses we could see in the limited amount of time we had available (22 houses in 2 days!). Then she was there to hold our hands brilliantly through the negotiation, purchasing, and closing processes. We would highly recommend Donna and look forward to having the opportunity to utilize her again in the future.

Donna was SOOO patient with me through the entire process of selling my mom's home. My mom had just gone home to be with Jesus, so the entire process from start to finish was extremely overwhelming for me, and on top of everything I was clueless about what to do and how the whole process worked. Donna took her time with me, spent countless days on the phone walking me through every step, giving me guidance and answering questions, often times answering the very SAME question over and over again because I just wasn't understanding and needed things broken down to where a first grader could understand. The process is over now, but Donna is someone who has become a friend, someone that I can still call. I would highly recommend her!!
