Sanders was a pleasure to work with and made our whole buying process quite easy. We started just "looking" and he was patient and willing to keep showing us although we said we weren't ready to buy yet. When we quickly changed our decision and had limited availability to go back out, he made himself available. His knowledge of both the local community and broader area is a strong help to those new to the area!! Even when thrown some "unusual" challenges, his attitude remained positive and, as stated, made the process easy. We couldn't give a realtor a higher recommendation!

We are so glad we got a recommendation from a friend for Drew. We were from out of state and needed expert help in finding our new home. He asked questions about what we wanted/needed in a new home and knew exactly in what direction to take us. In a matter of days, we found our perfect home. He is/was very cordial, professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. He worked relentlessly (including Sunday) to help us. Highly recommend Drew!!

What a team! Shelley and Gary really understood what we were looking for and guided us to find our home. They were extremely knowledgeable and aided us in every step of the buying process. They are invested in their clients and make sure that everything goes smoothly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants top rate service.

We originally dealt very successfully with Richard many years ago and once again reached out to him. His service, communication, and follow-through were excellent. He made selling the property so easy and timely. We would highly recommend him to any prospective buyer or seller.

OUTSTANDING! From the start Tammy Moody’s knowledge of the inventory, pricing and challenging market provided us with extremely helpful advice and guidance every step of the way. She ensured that we understood all aspects involved in selling our home. Tammy helped us through some times when we had doubts and endless questions that all sellers have. Our home sold and we were thrilled. All we can say is high marks for Tammy and the Charter One Team.

“Sabrina did an outstanding job throughout the process. She was extremely responsive and proactive in locating listings that we would be interested in based upon our discussions with her. She also assisted in the negotiation process to help us get the best deal in light of the appraisal on the property we were buying. I would highly recommend her, especially for non-Hilton Head residents like ourselves.”

They helped us find the right property and made us feel confident every step of the way.

"We were lucky to find Shelley & Gary. We don’t live in the area and had only visited the island twice before realizing we wanted to buy an investment property.  Shelley and Gary took the time to understand what we wanted and worked diligently to find it for us. They always responded to our questions quickly and clearly communicated with us and those involved in our purchase. They also referred us to their trusted resources to help us close on our property without a hitch, despite us living in Colorado and amidst the global health pandemic. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor in the area. Simply put – they are exactly what a buyer wants and needs, and yet, they still go above and beyond for their clients."

Dan and Debbie have walked us through the selling of our home in Bluffton and the purchase of 2 oceanfront condos on Hilton Head. They both are truly masters of their trade! They perfectly complement each other in their skills which makes for a winning combination and successful results. They are knowledgeable about the area, diligently do their homework. and have have stellar marketing and negotiation skills. But what stands out to us is their excellent people and communication skills. They both make you feel like you are their only client, are responsive to questions, network and coordinate well with other realtors and service agencies and maintain professionalism, a positive outlook and a good sense of humor throughout the process! We highly recommend them!

"We all know the stress involved when selling or buying real estate and Brad [Wilson] has the ability to make all involved feel save and secure with one of the largest financial transactions of their life. His knowledge, and marketing and negotiation skills are superior to anyone I have ever experienced in the real estate industry. We were able to sell our house within a very short period of time for almost the full asking price and in this economy that is quite an accomplishment."

Drew was recommended by friends of ours who recently purchased a home in Indigo Run, we were very happy to work with Drew and Kim. The whole process couldn't have gone smoother. I had LOTS of questions during the process that Drew and Kim did a great job of answering in a very timely manner. Drew knows the Island very well; I would absolutely recommend if you are buying or selling.

Shelley and Gary were probably the most thorough real estate agents I have ever worked with. I used to be a agent in California and this team are truly the best in the business. They always answer their phones and keep you updated throughout the whole process! If you are looking to sell your home or buy a home you will be very happy!

We highly recommend Les Jones for realtor services. He recently helped us purchase a home and we were both impressed and appreciative of his highly professional services. He listened closely to our interests and performed diligent research to identify several options. Then, he worked closely with our calendars to schedule property viewings. He provided valuable insight about the various locations and had great recommendations for navigating the closing process. We hope to work with him again in the future.

Gary and Shelley were excellent agents for us. Shelley always responded to my questions right away. I could talk to her about any questions or concerns I had at any time. She is very professional and knows her job but also very friendly and caring. She is always on top of everything. We felt like someone was looking out for our interests. We feel like we made two new friends Gary and Shelley. If we ever come back to this area, we would definitely use their services again and would recommend them highly to our friends. I feel so lucky we found them to be our agents.

Chip was outstanding in every way! He is personable and well prepared. His robust analytics helped us settle on an appropriate pricing strategy that netted a full price offer in just five days! He has a full array of repairman, painters and housecleaners who worked efficiently to get the home into pristine condition. Moreover, since we had to be out of town on move-out day, he helped oversee the move. We were blown away by his professionalism and personal kindness. It was an exceptional experience at every level.

Krista was incredible. She worked with us for over a year to find the perfect home in the Bluffton area. Hard working, friendly, and knowledgeable, you will not be disappointed. She will work diligently to find you the right house but give you enough space to decide what is right for you or your family. We communicated constantly throughout the process and she was responsive at almost any hour in the day! Krista will find your dream home! We are happy to call her our friend and our realtor. We provide our highest recommendation!

We have executed multiple transactions with Andy as both buyers and sellers. He is, without question, the most thorough, well researched, and intelligent minds you will find in real estate, anywhere, not just in Sea Pines. He combines a conscientious, service-based style, with a keen business sense and impressive marketing skills. Any transaction we ever do will be with Andy Reed. If you’re smart, you will too.

Alec Smith has been our Realtor in two very successful real estate transactions in the past year, the sale of a spec house and a personal residence. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to navigate thru the demanding sales process are unmatched, and it has been a pleasure working with him.

A true team approach from the first meeting through the closing. They are all excellent communicators and go far beyond what I have experienced during other residential transactions. They are without question the best real estate firm I have had the pleasure of working with. I am so happy after interviewing three local realtors that we chose H&D!

Buying our new home with Debbie and Daniel was an unbelievably easy experience! Debbie went above and beyond to make sure every "i "was dotted and every "t" crossed. She and Daniel gave us great advice as to where to buy and who to get as our mortgage processor. A usually daunting experience was turned into a very easy and no stress experience. I HIGHLY recommend these very professional agents to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bluffton/HHI area. A business relationship has turned into a great friendship! Thanks Debbie and Daniel for our new home!!

Duke is by far the best person and most knowledgeable person to guide you through a purchase in the Lowcountry. He helped us pick the right community for our needs, was an expert in the negotiations to get a great deal and didn't stop after we purchased the home. We are new to the area, and he helped refer us to various skilled professionals to help maintain and set up our new home. Duke is fantastic and was very patient as we waited for the perfect home to come on the market. I would not hesitate to refer Duke and Linda to anyone looking to buy in Bluffton/Hilton Head.

We had an outstanding experience working with Shelley and Gary Elliott of the The Elliott Team as our realtors. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping us every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, always taking the time to answer our questions. We are so grateful for all their hard work and highly recommend Shelley and Gary Elliott to anyone looking for excellent real estate agents. They went above and beyond for us, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.

The BEST agents we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with were Gary & Shelley Elliott with Charter One Realty. They made the whole process from start to finish a pleasurable and easy experience. Their understanding of the market was invaluable, and they had our house sold in under a week. Their attention to detail was impressive when first listing our home. I was blown away with all the advertising and marketing that went out the day after we decided to sell our home. I have never met a realtor that helped you with the packing, the organizing, the cleaning, the moving of your home. Who does that? What an incredible team they are. They go above and beyond to help you in every way possible. Thank you, Gary and Shelley, for your amazing work and helping make our move much less stressful. You guys are the best and we will always sing your praises.

We were introduced to Duke when we realized we wanted to make Berkeley Hall our home. South Carolina is a new adventure for us! We so enjoyed working with him. Duke was very knowledgeable about the lots that were available and couldn’t do enough to answer our questions. We had an easy process picking our lot and he was helpful during the building process. He guided us with our homeowner’s insurance and home inspection. We would highly recommend Duke if you plan to live in the Bluffton area.

Working with Debbie Cort was absolutely seamless and perfect. Our Family needed to relocate to the area from Florida and we had no idea where to start looking for our new home. My wife sent an email regarding a property we might be interested in and Debbie responded immediately! We shared our lifestyle and current type of home we owned to help Debbie show us the best neighborhood to suit us in the shortest time frame. After 2-3 trips from Florida to look at our home buying options we landed on a beautiful home in Bluffton with the amenities that were exactly to our needs! Without Debbie Cort we wouldn't have been able to make our move happen so smooth. And we have built a great friendship along the way. Debbie puts her heart and soul into the entire process. And was always available for any questions that came up. Thanks Debbie and Dan!
