When moving to Beaufort and deciding we wanted to buy instead of continuing to rent, we met Alec. Alec helped us buy our first home and was the best realtor anybody could ask for. It was a home we wanted to keep forever, but upon receiving a job offer on the other side of the country we turned to him once more to help us sell our home. Once again, Alec exceeded our expectations and helped us sell our home and get the best deal possible. He works around the clock and is always available anytime you need him during the process. His knowledge of the local area and of the home buying/selling process is unparalleled. I honestly cannot imagine using a different realtor because Alec made both buying and selling our home as stress free as possible so that we could focus on other aspects of our move and life. I highly recommend you get in contact with Alec to buy or sell your home. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Thanks again for everything Alec!
“Out-of-state buyers. Kept us up to date all the way during a new build. From identifying the perfect neighborhood for us to the perfect house model house Sabrina send pictures and videos through the whole process.”

"Judd [Tracy] was instrumental in our successful purchase of a second home in Hilton Head. Judd was proactive and engaged while we evaluated options from afar. Judd went out of his way to understand our needs and suggest potential homes but also spend time helping us understand the the pros and cons of different areas on the island. He found great homes for us to look at that matched our interests but also exposed us to the different communities. At the end of our first day of seeing homes we made an offer and subsequently closed on a home. We found ourselves in a competitive situation and Judd guided us to a successful outcome. Judd remained engaged throughout and led us through preclosing and closing processes. He continues to provide advice, insight, and contacts when needed. A great guy and consummate professional."

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!

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!

Our experience with the Delchers in buying a new home and then selling ours was terrific! We decided to check out the real estate market in Berkeley Hall, where we were currently living, and called the Delchers about a listed home. We chose the Delchers because of their fine reputation in the real estate market in our area. However, that particular home did not turn out to be the home for us. We did not need to move, so we told Duke and Linda we only wanted something we fell in love with.
They called a few weeks later and said they’d found the perfect house for us .......and it was! We’re now the proud new owners of that property.
Next came the sale of our current home. Linda and Duke were so helpful. Their marketing strategies were terrific. They made a lovely brochure featuring the various rooms and amenities of our home. A number of agents showed our home, and within a short time we had an offer.
Linda also was very helpful in guiding us through the closing process, the property inspections, and finding us a move manager who also found us a mover. Once the ball was rolling, the whole process was seamless!
We would strongly recommend the Delchers to anyone in the Bluffton/ HiltonHead area planning to buy or sell a home.

We recently sold a property and had the pleasure of working with Sabrina. She is extremely knowledgeable in the process and was quite helpful in all aspects of our transaction. She made herself available to us, whenever we needed. She is energetic and enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services and we look forward to working with her in the future. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Our experience with the Wedgeworth Team in selling our home was superior in every way. They were respectful of our time and scheduled the appointments in a stress reducing way. Chip is a very kind person and we like him a lot. We will highly recommend him.

"Matt was a pleasure to work with on our most recent home purchase. Buying a property from out of state can be stressful but he helped the process go smoothly and answered all our questions. Matt set up home searches tailored to our needs, visited the property in advance, and showed us around the beautiful low country. He checked in during all stages and was very responsive to our texts/emails. He also provided recommendations for all of our other home buying needs. We would definitely recommend Matt if you are looking to buy/sell in the Lowcountry area."

Neil [Castellane] handled the sale of my condo, my husband’s condo, and subsequently the purchase of our beautiful new home on the island. Neil walked us through all of the steps and explained things in a way that was easily understandable (even the complicated paperwork). He provided a wealth of information when we had questions, and made excellent recommendations. He was very detail-oriented and told us what to expect, what items of the transaction we would be responsible for in each instance (whether buying or selling), and what kind of timeframe to expect. He kept things moving in a timely manner and was easily accessible when we had questions or needed information. Neil treats you like a PERSON - not a dollar sign, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent in the area!
John and Debbie
We would like to say that Brenda [Kline] worked quite hard at selling our home. It was a slow start but as the economy changed so did the interest in our home. She was very good at offering suggestions that worked best for our situation. Brenda was persistent and made it happen. Thank you Brenda!

Gary and Shelley make for an impeccable team. They compliment each other well and are fierce advocates for us as the sellers. They never missed anything and were always there to double-check and follow up and make sure that things went smoothly. We had a difficult buyer, and I always knew that they were on our side and ready to jump in to make this work. They are an absolutely fantastic choice for realtors.
Anne & Gary

Shelley and Gary are two of the best realtors that we have had the pleasure of working with. They flawlessly handled every stage in the sale of our home and obtained the maximum price. We would unhesitatingly recommend Shelley and Gary for your real estate needs.

Drew Butler uses his knowledge of the local market to advise his clients. He has been in the industry for many years in this area. His approach is professional and meticulous. Both Drew and his office were responsive to inquiry and initiated action when it was needed. I would recommend him to my friends.

Thanks to both Shelley and Gary for making this the easiest and fastest sale we have ever experienced! We are so happy that we decided to go with Team Elliott of Charter One Realty. Thank you for also referring us to Smith Law firm, for they were fantastic in every way. My husband (also a Realtor) and I were very impressed with how often they communicated via their portal and text messages. We will definitely connect with you the next time we are in Hilton Head!

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.
Lori Ferguson
We have worked with Becky Herman for many years and several real estate transactions. We would not call anyone else. She’s the best.

Andy Twisdale was so helpful with the purchase of my wonderful home in Hilton Head. Because he is so connected to the Island and an experienced agent, the purchase and closing went smoothly, and he was able to provide much help with recommendations on various contractors. He knew when to push back in the purchase process and was a good advocate for me. He was professional and kind. I highly recommend Andy as an agent.

We know many real estate agents in Hilton Head, choosing one was very difficult, we chose Richard, and we couldn’t be happier. He helped us in preparation, guided us through the inspections, and was extremely knowledgeable at closing. Richard worked very hard and was always available when we needed him.

I cannot say enough great things about Debbie and Daniel! #1 thing is that they were everything they presented themselves to be. They were incredible guides to my wife and I as we looked for and bought our first home. They're so helpful - they really put our wishes at the forefront of everything they did and went above and beyond. 10 out of 10 - I would go through the process again with them.
Nate Swearer
Hilton Head Island
Richard helped us purchase a home in Bluffton, and we couldn't be happier! He goes above and beyond for his clients, is a long-time Hilton Head resident, and has a great feel for the market. Experienced, patient, honest, straightforward, and trustworthy. Because of his local knowledge, he also knows exactly who to go to for loans, insurance, attorneys, inspections, repairmen, landscapers, contractors...you name it, he has an answer. 100%, 10/10, 5 Stars, whatever the scoring metric, he is one of the best.
Nina C.
Love the Corts! Such good contacts and such patience. They kept us informed and involved in every step. Could not have found a place in Hilton Head without them. Icing on the cake was the place was gorgeous and at a great price. Almost impossible to get that in the present times. Hire Them!! Did I say Love the Corts!
Melissa T.
Debbie and Daniel were fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond to make the purchase as easy as possible. They were also able to recommend a great financial and legal team to work with throughout our process. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future purchases.

Bluffton
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!
Linda Courey-Degnan
I don't even know how to begin reviewing the experience my wife and I had with Linda as our realtor. If I could give 10 stars, I would! She's that good. Linda is a total professional, but I feel like she became our good friend too. Friendly, smart, punctual, helpful, and thorough are just a few of the descriptions that apply. She made the entire process of buying our beach condo so much easier. She has a folder full of contacts of other pros just like her. "Need an attorney? I got a guy". "Need a home inspector? I got a guy" (This is New Jersey, after all...). Even after the sale she supplied us with names and numbers of handymen, floor experts, plumbers, you name it. Throughout the buying process, she was always there to text or call. There was no such thing as a stupid question. (And we had a bunch of them...) They were all answered. She was such a fantastic communications bridge between us, the listing agent, our attorney, and the HOA. My wife and I highly recommend Linda. We have every confidence that you will be pleased with the detailed service she will render you. We were so lucky we found her. She's the first friend we've made in our new neighborhood and we will remain in touch with her. She told us to call anytime if we need a recommendation. We will. And we will call to invite her for cocktails once the place is decorated!
“Sabrina is a great realtor with local market expertise and five-star service! She took care of everything for our off-site owner from the preparation, listing, closing and after-closing! We are very satisfied with our sale and definitely will recommend her to everyone!”

Our Experience with James Wedgeworth was... great as always - 5 sales in the past 20 years, (so I should know). Never a hitch, always smooth - Thanks again for a job well done.
