"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!"

What a journey we’ve been on the last year! We knew that we needed to downsize but we also wanted a nice garden for Lisa. Daniel and Debbie were with us on every step of this journey and they were so generous of their patience with us! Their attention to detail was amazing and their advice was always well thought out. The respect they’ve earned in the community was obvious when dealing with contractors, roofers, plumbers, inspectors, etc. They were always able to get quick and reliable replies. Daniel and Debbie did a wonderful job selling our house and finding our new home. They are an awesome couple and you couldn’t go wrong with the Cort Team.

100% recommend Julianne. This was me and my wife’s first time buying a home and I cannot image how difficult it could have been with a realtor who only did the bare minimum. Julianne has been working with us for 4 months to find a house and has been very responsive proactive and always working behind the scenes to make everything as smooth and easy as possible for us. She was very real with us, talked us down on a few houses where she saw problems that we did not to make sure that we, as first time home buyers, were not going to get ourselves into a house we could not handle or end up spending a ton of money in the future on potential unforeseen repairs. Now we have closed on a house that we are completely in love with and it would not have been possible without her. Thank you so much Julianne!

Beth Doudoukjian is the ultimate professional with the expertise and knowledge to ensure her clients are getting the best possible real estate service. Her personality and demeanor put us at ease and provided us with a pleasurable experience in the purchase of our most recent property.  My husband and I had the privilege of engaging Beth to help us find a “fixer-upper” on the Island last year.  Not only did she scour the market to find the perfect (most imperfect) property in our price range, she and her team were able to negotiate a great price with a quick closing date.  Beth knows the area very well, having lived in Hilton Head for 20 plus years. It is clear that Beth studies the market to ensure she is up to date with and familiar with this dynamic real estate market.   We are so confident in her ability and expertise, that she will be listing our Villa next year and is currently searching for additional property for us to purchase.

"I have experienced several moves over the years and this most recent move was the most challenging. I interviewed three realty firms and there was no contest. Austin Stokes and Ethan James, the Ethan James Team, of Charter One came to meet me ready to listen to my expectations and with a very professional presentation of how they wanted to market my home and were as interested as I in getting my home sold. Austin promised me he would help me in any way I needed from start to finish. This was more than just a sales pitch, a nice gesture. He has taken boxes for donations, trash bags out, and checked in often to see if I needed help with anything. He meant every word. Austin and Ethan are the knowledgeable, hardworking, professional gentlemen to whom you want to trust the buying or selling of your home."

Michael and Michelle were an amazing team to work with. Their knowledge of the local market combined with their diverse skill sets were just the right combination that I needed to sell my unique property. They were patient and professional as I wavered on decisions and confidently guided me through how to respond to each of the multiple offers I received. They were always there to perform helpful tasks while I was out of town and Michael even revived a riding lawnmower that died in the middle of the yard before an open house! I highly recommend Michael and Michelle to sell or buy your next home. They will get the job done for you!

If you want a top-producing agent, choose Drew Butler. He sold our home in a short time frame despite the abundance of homes for sale in our area. It is clear that Drew’s knowledge of the Indigo Run market sets him above the rest of the agents.  His preparation and use of professional tools to produce super marketing materials with top notch photography greatly contributed to the quick sale.  Each step of the listing, sale and closing portions of the process were handled in a clear and decisive manner. He continually demonstrated a willingness to take the extra steps required to make "both the selling and purchasing parties more than satisfied.  We highly recommend him to anyone that desires a professional to handle the sale of their home.

From the very beginning, his personality stood out—he’s incredibly passionate about his work, genuinely kind, and fiercely advocates for his buyers. He always kept my best interests at the center of every conversation and decision. He’s a “hustler” in the best way: focused, persistent, and always moving the process forward. His intelligence and expertise were evident at every step. Alec has a deep understanding of real estate and knows the local market like the back of his hand. He has the buying process down to a science. He’s a natural problem solver with exceptional attention to detail, and I always felt reassured knowing he could answer any question I threw his way—even the ones I worried were “dumb.” I was equally impressed by his drive. He stayed looped into every communication and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. When I got behind on tasks or requests, he nudged me forward with encouragement rather than pressure. Alec was also incredibly patient with my family and me. We weren’t always quick or decisive, but he supported us at every turn without frustration or judgment. Another standout quality was his extensive professional network. Alec clearly had a positive working relationship with the seller’s agent, and he seemed to know reliable people for every part of the home-buying process. From inspections to lawn care, he had top-quality recommendations ready to go. Finally—and most importantly—Alec is honest. He carries himself with real integrity, and I always felt he brought the truth to every situation, even when it wasn’t the easiest or most convenient thing to say. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for someone driven, knowledgeable, genuine, and truly dedicated to his clients, call Alec for your next home purchase.

Based on recommendations from several friends as well as personal knowledge, we chose Christina Forbis as our realtor. She worked with us throughout every aspect of the sale of our home.  Christina proved to be the ultimate professional and the best in the business. Her intimate knowledge of the Port Royal marketplace combined with her attention to every detail and her willingness to “go the extra mile”, led to a successful sale from listing through closing within 30 days. There is no doubt in our minds that Christina is the realtor you want to be with in the sale of your home.  She is simply beyond compare!

My wife and I made the decision to move across the country from Arizona to Bluffton I the Spring of 2019.  Having a child still in high school made the window for this move quite small.  Diana Sroufe made this transition possible and provided us exactly what we needed.  We flew into town to look at homes on Easter weekend and Diana was awesome!  Not only did she show us what we wanted to see....even though she knew we would not pursue, but gave us insight and ideas as we viewed our first few homes together.  Diana listened and immediately came up with additional homes to view based on our criteria. Can we look at that one again?  I am sure this routine can be annoying, but Diana was there to show us listings....and even go back more than a few times. When we were ready, Diana took charge and our offer was submitted and accepted prior to our arrival in town for the second round of viewings.  Diana quickly took action and even had the home inspected while we were in town.  As we left, Diana had a complete list of preferred vendors for all of the things we needed and they were all top-notch. Working with Diana was the best decision and a major reason this move was stress-free."

I asked Christina Forbis to handle the sale of my Port Royal home because I appreciated the way she represented the sellers when I bought my home and because I knew of her outstanding reputation in the community. I was never disappointed. At every point in the sale, she went above and beyond what you might expect from a realtor.  No matter how busy she was, she always made me feel like I was her top priority. Christina provides a concierge level experience, dealing with all issues with grace and professionalism.

Christina Forbis was great to work with on the sale of our house in Port Royal Plantation. Her grasp of the real estate market on Hilton Head Island allowed us to quickly get our property under contract above asking price. Being a full service broker, Christina was instrumental in helping us from showings to our close date. We would highly recommend Christina.

"Mark Rushton is the absolute best Realtor I have ever had! Not only did he accommodate the selling of my house while I’m out of state, he went above and beyond by single handedly taking care of my property while I was away. Everything from cutting the grass to personal walk throughs. His communication skills are unmatched, I was always informed of any decision, big or small. He made the process very easy, I felt like I didn’t have to ask him questions because he was already providing me the answers. I have had bad previous experiences with other companies and realtors, and I have to say these gentlemen were exceptional. I'd recommend Mark to anyone and everyone in the area."

We recently sold our home on Hilton Head through Christina Forbis. We have known her for several years and found her a warm, compassionate and completely trustworthy person. She has extensive knowledge of the island realty market as well as workers, agents, bankers, service people and contractors.. Selling a home usually entails some degree of stress for the sellers. Not so with her. Working with Christina was a pleasure and effortless with us. She leaves no loose ends and was always available to answer our questions and concerns. She was relentless in her work, always showing and promoting our home to potential buyers. As we live out of state,Christina was kind enough to handle many of our last minute details on her own time. She loves her work, is a true professional and a wonderful friend. All  her hard work produced a buyer with a good cash offer. Needless to say we were very pleased. Thank You Christina!

Marisa Cain was a pivotal reason we bought our home. From the beginning, she struck the perfect balance—warm and enthusiastic, yet candid and insightful. We valued these attributes in Marisa, especially being new to the area. After just one morning of touring homes, she quickly honed in on what truly mattered to us. A week later, she had a strong instinct about a new listing and let us know right away. She was absolutely right—it turned out to be the one. Marisa guided us through every step of the process with efficiency and care. She made sure we fully understood each aspect of the home and addressed any potential concerns on our checklist. We always felt she was advocating for us, representing our best interests throughout the entire home buying process. Even after our offer was accepted, Marisa remained hands-on, leading us seamlessly through closing and generously sharing her trusted contacts for services like painting, landscaping, and cleaning. She is a true professional. We wholeheartedly recommend Marisa to anyone looking to buy a home.

Shelley & Gary are top-notch! We worked with them from 700 miles away for nearly 2 years as our relocation plans came together and we couldn't be happier! They listened to our future vision, took the ball and ran with it. They helped us zero in on exactly what our wants and needs were -- from the desired neighborhood to the specifics on the interior of the home. Even as all of those wants and needs evolved, they rolled with the punches and never gave up until they found the PERFECT home for us. We could not be happier with our new home and our decision to work with Shelley and Gary!

Having been close to four previous Hilton Head Island real estate transactions in which Dave was the agent, twice for the Buyer and twice for the Seller, when it came time to sell my own condo on Skull Creek I didn’t give any thought to asking anyone else to help me as the Seller’s agent. Dave has years of experience on the island and he is very aware of the current market. As expected I benefited from his calm and wise guidance during the entire process. Dave was extremely valuable in recommending people to take care of the issues that were identified during inspection. Other businesses that I called ignored my call, but Dave knows reliable people. And where Dave went above and beyond, in my opinion, was that several times when those folks came to take care of an inspection item I was not available to be there – Dave met the trades people and waited while they did the work, or until I was able to arrive. That was a huge help to me. I highly recommend Dave if you are buying or selling a house or condo on Hilton Head Island.

Linda was fantastic helping us find the right home for us and really good with recommendations for all the services we would require to get settled in properly. She made us feel so comfortable which really helped us relax and make a good decision. Duke and Linda helped negotiate a deal that was satisfactory to both parties. Were a little disappointed they were not more attentive to the inspection. Also, a little less attentive after the close but overall, we are very happy with our new home and the job they did to get us here.

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.

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.

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!

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!!
