Last Spring, David [Hill] helped my husband and I find a perfect house in Hilton Head.  We started looking at houses when we were vacationing in March and ended up closing on a house in July.  David listened well to what our interests were in a house, sending us information weekly on houses that were available.  Going through the process of buying the home, we had many questions which David was always eager to answer, never making us feel uncomfortable to ask yet another question.  We would highly recommend David Hill to either sell your home or to use him to help find that perfect vacation home.

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.

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Shelley and Gary Elliott for all your real estate needs. They went above and beyond to list and sell my brother's home. From the very beginning, Shelley and Gary took the time to meet with me on Memorial Day, since I was in town for only a short time. They were able to understand my needs and provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process. When I had to return home, they spent countless hours overseeing the work that needed to be done on my brother's home. Gary kept me updated every step of the way with photos, videos and texts. Since I could not be there, they recommended and lined up reputable resources to complete the work that needed to be done. Shelley was always honest and transparent with me. She was always available to answer my many questions and concerns. Shelley walked me through the process step by step, even though I was out of state. I highly recommend Shelley and Gary to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. They are true professionals. They will work tirelessly to ensure that their client's needs are met. Thank you for everything!

We worked with Richard on 2 buys and 1 sell in Hilton Head Island, SC. During these 3 business transactions Richard proved to be very professional and knowledgeable. He guided us to fair pricing and was patient with us and the counterparties. He followed up and the cleanliness of the house we bought and made sure it was spotless on the day we moved in. I recommend you contact him if you have any interest in buying or selling on Hilton Head. I assure you will be very pleased with his service and knowledge of the area.

"There aren't enough words to recommend Matt and Kara enough! As soon as we found out that they were venturing into real estate from previous years of successful careers in other fields, we knew that they would be who we'd want to work with in this next phase of our life. From our first showing when Kara entertained our kids so we could walk the house undisturbed, to the sale of our first family home, they’ve been nothing but exceptional. They both operate with the highest levels of professionalism and urgency. They always act with your best interests in mind and give great advice to ensure you earn top dollar on your property. We are so thankful to call Matt and Kara not only our agents, but best friends. They both truly care and are the team you want by your side during the house selling and buying journey. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank yall for everything!"

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.

“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.”

Andy Twisdale represented us and closed the sale of our 6 Virginia Rail home on Hilton Head.

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!

Alec [Smith] is a true professional realtor. He's very knowledgeable about the Low Country/Beaufort area and has great suggestions for service providers. We had a few challenges. But, Alec was a great communicator who kept us informed and guided us along the way. He was by our side giving encouragement during the whole process. Alec goes above and beyond what one should reasonably expect from their realtor. We highly recommend working with Alec.

Charter One Realty, Marisa Cain, my agent and Mary Williams the selling agent were amazing to work with. The communication between agents and then to me was on point and done in a timely manner. I was located in VA so the majority of my experience was done long distance. Everything was handled efficiently through settlement and I couldn’t be happier. I wholeheartedly recommend using Charter One Realty, you won’t regret your decision.

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.

Nothing says quality like repeat business. We've worked with Les Jones on buying and selling four Hilton Head properties... and every experience was a true pleasure and terrific outcome! Les' Lowcountry approach is comforting... but, his thoroughness and steadfast commitment to being your advocate is what won us over each time. Truly one of the best!

My husband and I met Linda 4 years ago and at that time I knew that if we didn't buy then we would someday. Fast forward to 2024 and we've quickly caught up, picked up where we left off and began the search for our next home and community. I still can't believe we found a property, made an offer, and had an acceptance in under two days! We appreciate all your help in the search for our newly purchased property and we are so excited to build our dream home. Your attention to details and knowledge of the community made the process easy, and we couldn't be happier we chose to work with you. We truly appreciated your flexibility, and willingness to accommodate our schedules knowing that we are not from the area and needed to fly in since we currently live so far away. You were terrific to create an agenda that maximized our time with the best result ever a property that we absolutely adore!

All I can say is wow!!! I was trying to sell my parents' home following their passing and was very concerned and worried. When I engaged The Elliott Team, everything from our first meeting all the way through settlement went smoothly and quickly. I was nervous, but the Team was always there with advice and words of encouragement. The experience was so seamless that when and if I need to sell my home, I will engage them again. I've even referred The Team to a couple of friends and neighbors. They are the best!

We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Christine Reid! We were visiting Hilton Head Island just to explore Long Cove and Wexford and never expected to make an offer—let alone close on a home one month later. This is a second home for us, and we hadn’t been through the buying process in 25 years, but Christine made everything feel seamless and genuinely enjoyable.She was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly had our best interests at heart. She stayed on top of every detail, communicated promptly, and guided us with confidence every step of the way. We always felt supported and at ease.

Alec Smith was incredible to work with. There were quite a number of challenges that presented themselves in the midst of marketing and selling our property and Alec tackled them head-on. His professional demeanor, knowledge of the area and professional contacts were a huge part in our closing being a success. I would highly recommend him and hope to work with him in the future.

"Not only is Judd Tracy a great guy, but he is also an amazing Realtor. After Judd listed our house in Bluffton, we received two full-price offers within 24 hours! He also was extremely helpful in finding our new home. Judd is a Realtor you can trust, and I highly recommend him to anyone."

I would highly recommend them with your real estate needs.

We had an exceptional experience working with Matt and Kara for our low country vacation home purchase. From finding the perfect community to crafting an offer in a competitive sellers market, they were with us at each step. Matt made a tough process easier than it otherwise would have been with a difficult seller. Thank you Matt and Kara!

Rob Moore of Patrick and Taylor Real Estate at Charter One Realty, successfully sold our condo at full asking price.  He was extremely professional, and very easy to deal with. Rob, acting as a sellers agent, made a long distance transaction seamless and uncomplicated.   If ever we need a realtor again,  he would be our first and ONLY choice. Thanks again for a job well done!
