Cori Blankenship is a dedicated hometown Realtor with over three years of professional real estate experience and more than 30 years of living in the Western North Carolina and Smokies area she proudly serves. As a member of Gateway Realty Group, powered by Keller Williams Great Smokies, Cori combines deep-rooted local insight with a caring, client-first approach.

Growing up and building her life in the community gives Cori a unique understanding of the market, the people, and the mountain lifestyle that makes this area so special. Her clients value her warm communication style, attention to detail, and the calm, steady guidance she brings to every transaction.

Cori’s experience includes working with first-time homebuyers, listing and marketing mountain properties, navigating investment opportunities, and helping sellers present their homes at their best. With each client, her goal is the same: to create a smooth, stress-free experience grounded in trust and personalized service.

Outside of real estate, Cori’s greatest joy is being a mom to her 6-month-old miracle baby boy, Parker. Whether she’s spending time with family, enjoying the mountains, or staying involved in her community, Cori remains deeply connected to the place she has called home for decades.
