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!

Andy Reed at the Reed Team has helped me with 3 properties since I have been buying property in Hilton Head. The first one was when we wanted to sell our property in Sea Pines to build another house. Andy did a fantastic job of determining what we needed to do- to sell the house and then how the house would best show. Small things to us as buyers, but only items that a “Good Realtor” would know: some of the things Andy helped us with: “cut some limbs so you can see the house better” “Power-wash the house so it is clean” Things that to a seller, we really didn’t notice, but to someone, like Andy – he knew what it would take to sell the house! Our house sold in about 3 weeks! Man we were surprised! Then on to the building process, that Andy helped us find a builder and helped us review the floor plan to determine the best house we could build (by the way he wasn’t even making a commission). Although, I guess Andy knows how to keep a customer – because since Andy had helped us so much on the last sell, we asked him to be our Realtor on a purchase we made in order to live – until our house was built. NOW we are in our DREAM HOME and have Andy to help us sell our other house. Andy is always available and helpful in anything you ask him!!! Thanks Andy for a job well done!

My wife and I made a great choice when we selected Christina Forbis of Charter One as our realtor. Christina has a real 'can do' spirit and knows the business and the market. She took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in our new house. Despite the fact that we were working in a difficult market for buyers with limited inventory, she was patient with us and eventually found the perfect house for us in our preferred neighborhood. Christina is super easy to work with & totally rocks!

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with in both selling our house and closing on a new, downsized home. Incredibly responsive and organized from day 1 - we truly felt like they were on our team, working hand in hand with us to find the best overall situation for our family. We would definitely work with the Corts again, and we would recommend them to anyone searching for a home or selling a home in the Bluffton area.

Buyers - Sun City
Shelley and Gary were both extremely professional. Plus, we felt that we were working with old friends who were helping and advising us in the purchase of a new home. Working with them made the experience both pleasant and less stressful. They quickly understood what we were seeking and guided us in the proper direction. We would highly recommend Gary and Shelley to anyone seeking a new home in a new community.
Arnie Nothnagel
"When I first inquired about property on HHI, I contacted several Realtors. None of them inspired confidence. I then met Tom Reed of the Reed Team. From my first conversation with Tom, I knew I had met someone who would guide me toward the correct real estate decision. This judgment has stood the test of time from both a satisfaction and investment perspective. With Tom's assistance, I am currently working toward my next real estate purchase on HHI. I strongly recommend Tom Reed and his associates."

Buyers - Palmetto Bluff
We wandered into Michael Haire’s office unannounced and without any plan to leave California and move to Palmetto Bluff. Fast forward just a few months, and we were back for a “visit”. Michael’s knowledge of the community and his ability to assess and respond to what we liked and didn’t like as we toured homes made the buying experience easy. His dry sense of humor made it fun. With his help, we found the perfect home and closed escrow painlessly, despite doing so long distance. He is a consummate professional, a great guy and the best broker we’ve ever worked with anywhere.

Buyer & Seller - Sun City
My husband and I have used John Weber to not only purchase and build a retirement home in Sun City, but also sell our retirement home in Sun City. John also assisted us in finding a top notch realtor for our purchase and new construction build in GA. We've had the best buying and selling experience with John. His years of experience and knowledge in residential sales was so helpful to us with our buying and selling needs. John's professionalism is 2nd to none. John will always keep you updated and is ready to help with any residential needs. We're glad to call John our friend.

Alec did an outstanding job assisting with the purchase of a vacant lot on Lady’s Island. It is the ideal location for me to look at developing in the future. Alec was patient with listening to my wants and desires for the lot and took the time to review everything about the lot with me. His negotiating skills helped to secure the lot for the price I was willing to pay. Alec and his family will forever be considered friends and I know I will be working with Alec again in the future.

“This was arguably one of the most challenging processes I’ve experienced because of the seller and the agent husband / wife team. Had it not been for Judd, the closing attorneys and the mortgage broker I don’t think this deal would have happened. Many thanks to Judd Tracy and Charter One for their patience and professionalism getting this deal over the finish line. Couldn’t have done it without you."
Jeff Rosenblatt
Krista was our super-agent who showed us so many areas, properties and homes during our search. She was patient and thorough, never showing us anything she didn’t think was right for us: newly retired couple moving to the low country to find a great neighborhood. We wound up buying property to build our home and Krista has gone above and beyond following up after closing and helping us with the build. Service, great attitude and fun. Thanks so much! Would highly recommend Krista Wilson!

“It was a pleasure to work with Sabrina every step of the way through the entire process of selling our home. Sabrina worked tirelessly to get us the best price for the home. She made several trips to town hall and the building department on our behalf, to settle issues concerning building permits, certificates of occupancy, etc. Whether buying or selling we will certainly work with Sabrina again in the future.”
Monica S.
“Sabrina was the listing agent on my condo at the Preserve in Hilton Head. We owned the unit for over 15 years and used it as rental; vacation home and primary residence over the years, it definitely had sentimental value to us. When it was time to sell, I decided to select an agent based on the recent sales in the community. I selected (3) agents by looking at Zillow Sold Properties, Sabrina was the only one that took my call on Saturday afternoon. We met with her the following Monday and within the week property was listed. Sabrina was very professional, straight forward and promised to look after our home after we left (we are from Nevada). Sabrina did an excellent job advertising the property, she was there before and after every showing, provided us with feedback and held several open houses. Sabrina’s hard work and dedication resulted in 2 offers after just 4 weeks on the market (July 2025 was already a buyers’ market). We sold the unit for price we wanted, entire process was super easy, she took care of the inspections, got us in touch with great attorney and pretty much took care of any issues that came up from the moment we handed her the keys. Sabrina is one of the best real estate agents we have worked with, and we would recommend her to any buyer or seller. Thank you Sabrina!!!”

"Julianne is the “Gold Standard” of real estate! In Beaufort, SC!! Starting from Day 1 she never took a day off to sell the property. She went above and beyond than any realtor that I’ve come across!! I put it in her hands and it was complete cruise control for me. I would highly recommend that if you are looking to sell in the Beaufort/St.Helena area there is no other choice for a realtor!! Julianne Clark is the Realtor to choose!! A++"

In 2014, Christina helped us find our “forever home” in our “forever community.” Our daughters settled in the region, and now 5 grandchildren later we needed more room. Christina helped us develop a buy/sell strategy as well as navigate one of the more dynamic real estate markets in years. Christina’s professionalism and attention to details are unparalleled. We successfully purchased on next “forever home” in the same community we have grown to love – Port Royal Plantation. If you can imagine it, Christina can make it happen- I have seen her do it!

We first became acquainted with the John Weber Team at Charter One through watching John's videos. Once we made the decision to move from California to Sun City Hilton Head, we connected with Carolyn Welch. She was exceptional to work with! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind, and helped us through every step of the way, including referrals for home inspection, closing attorney, and information about getting our utilities set up. Carolyn treated us like friends or family, and it was appreciated throughout the six-month process. I would highly recommend Carolyn for your next home purchase!

I highly recommend Andy Reed and the Reed team. They led me each step of the way and worked hard in my interest. They kept me informed and were committed to helping me. It was a pleasure to work with them.
“Sabrina was an absolute joy to work with. Sabrina was extremely knowledgeable about the area and assured us that she could get us our asking price. She actually went above and beyond our expectations with that. I found her to be very easy to communicate with, and she was very timely in getting back to me regarding questions. I have sold three houses in my life time and Sabrina made this one a very positive, stress-free experience.”

Charles Sampson of Charter One Realty in Hilton Head recently helped my husband and me find a condo to purchase in Hilton Head. He was very personable and very professional and, after touring many properties, we found the perfect one for our family. He helped us so much with all the things we needed to do and it was one of our easiest closings ever. He is also wonderful with service after the sale. We recently had some packages delivered to our condo and when the person who was scheduled to meet the delivery people didn’t show up, Charles graciously went to the condo to take care of the situation. We highly recommend Charles Sampson to anyone needing a realtor in the Hilton Head area.
Tom Gardo
It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Andy Twisdale as a realtor on Hilton Head Island. In my view, Andy has the complete package of what someone who is selling a home in this highly competitive HHI market would want. His attributes include local knowledge (experience), a positive personality (responsiveness and communication) and perseverance to identify the best prospects. He has a knack to quickly assess which prospective buyers are genuine prospects and which are just tire kickers. He impressed me with his responsiveness -- keeping me in touch throughout the process, and he provided valuable tips on how to maintain our home looking its best at all times even though my wife and I both had full time jobs. He has lived on HHI for more than 45 years and is very involved in the community which proved to be a real asset and has earned him high respect of his peers in the realtor community.

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.
“We are extremely happy with Sabrina’s performance! She is a very hard worker and always responded to our calls and texts promptly. She answered all of our questions and took care of many “hands on” issues for us since we lived over 4 hours away. Thank you Sabrina for your guidance and professionalism. We look forward to working with you again.”
Diana Sroufe - Fellow Charter One Realty Colleague
I first had the opportunity to work with Sabeth Biangone when she represented the buyers and I represented the sellers in a transaction. From the beginning, we worked extremely well together. We each understood who we represented and advocated for our respective clients, but we also understood that ultimately we had a shared goal—to bring our buyers and sellers together and get everyone successfully to the closing table.
Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Sabeth in other situations, and I’ve seen firsthand how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She has a wonderful ability to reassure them, listen to their concerns and confidently guide them through the decisions that come with buying or selling a home.
One experience that particularly impressed me was when Sabeth invited me to meet with clients whose Belfair home she was preparing to list. She had represented them when they purchased the property, and when they questioned whether her recommended listing price might be too low, Sabeth wanted another perspective from someone with extensive experience in the Belfair market. I thought that said a great deal about her. Her priority wasn't proving that she was right—it was making sure her clients had the information and confidence they needed to make the right decision.
Sabeth and I have become friends since that first transaction, and I have tremendous respect for her both personally and professionally. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again—whether we're on the same side of a transaction or sitting across the table representing our respective clients.

“Mary Williams spent countless hours dedicated to our listing. Her efforts before the home was listed, during the showing period, and especially after negotiating the contract through to the final closing proved invaluable given our rushed move. Mary is a true professional—unmatched in our 19th home sale over 59 years. Thank you, Mary Williams and Charter One Realty.”

Terrific local knowledge! Even better negotiating skills! I will absolutely be using Alec Smith in my future real estate transactions. He was very detailed and organized.

Lonnie is a superstar! She was able to make the process of selling our family home seamless. I didn't have too much experience selling real estate but with Lonnie, I never had to worry. Our property is part of a gated community and she was able to coordinate everything with the HOA, the security logistics, and tight coordination with the buyer's realtor. I really only ever needed to 'sign things' as I quickly learned I could trust her to take care of it all.
Highly recommend her for your real estate needs!
Jeff Stutz
Lonnie Goulet handled the sale of our home. We found Lonnie to be knowledgeable, responsive, proactive, professional, thorough, and efficient. That’s a lot of positive adjectives to use about a Realtor’s performance and Lonnie earned it via her outstanding work. Our home was on the market for less than two weeks prior to receipt of an offer to purchase. She did a terrific job as a seller’s agent and we would not hesitate to call her if we buy or sell property in the low country in the future.
Mark Breedlove
Seabrook, SC
Alec Smith did an outstanding job finding the right buyer for my property. He was very knowledgeable on the area and willing to go the extra mile to show potential buyers the property. He will communicate often to explain market conditions and will guide you to make decisions on price and best steps to get your property sold as fast as possible.
Paul & Deirdre Hewett
Hilton Head Island
Our introduction to Cristina was through the purchase of our new home in Port Royal, in which she represented the sellers of the house we ended up buying. We agreed to a dual agent relationship whereby she handled both sides of the transaction. Admittedly, we had some concerns about conflicts of interest but those were quickly allayed as she handled matters like a true pro. We never felt like we were being played off against the other side, and that all negotiated points were balanced with an aim to closing the deal. We had confidence in her ability to represent our interests fairly and genuinely throughout a process that went smoothly and with hardly any issues. Even after the closing, Christina continues to be a resource. As we are new to the HHI community, she’s provided valuable information that has enabled us to transition easily into our new home. We stay in contact with her on a regular basis and she’s always available to take our call. We consider her a friend and are very fortunate to have her counsel and assistance as needed.
