When my husband & I were researching golf community properties in the Hilton Head/Beaufort/Bluffton area, we found Linda & Duke Delcher. They were not only very professional; but they understood our needs and let us find the right place for us. No opinions; no pressure. We eventually found our home (the last one we looked at) and we couldn't be happier! Duke and Linda were great to work with & we would recommend them with great enthusiasm!

From start to finish, Mark made the transaction smooth and stress-free while always keeping our best interests first.

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!

Michelle helped us sell our 1 bedroom condo on Hilton Head and was a joy to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, tenacious and always professional. She guided us through every step of the process even anticipating our questions and needs. She followed through on every aspect of closing through an unexpected three day delay. We were not a large sale by Hilton Head standards, but we never felt like we were anything but a top priority for her. We would not hesitate for an instant to use Michelle again or to recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate professional in the Lowcountry.

“Ethan did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our new home. Since we weren’t familiar with the area, his local expertise was both valuable and greatly appreciated. He was consistently responsive and guided us through every aspect of the process—especially impressive given that much of the transaction was handled remotely. Ethan went above and beyond during the closing process. He and his team maintained clear and constant communication, keeping us informed every step of the way. He offered thoughtful advice and recommendations we wouldn’t have considered on our own. Ethan was friendly, professional, and accommodating throughout. He even took the time to provide helpful referrals for landscaping, handyman, and contracting services—an added bonus that made settling in much easier. We’re truly grateful for his support and highly recommend his services.”

We began our lowcountry real estate journey with Alec Smith about a year and a half ago. His extensive knowledge of the area guided us to our dream property, his shrewd negotiating skills ensured that we secured the best possible price, and his professionalism and attention to detail guaranteed that everything came together seamlessly. Alex will forever be our Realtor when the need arises, but now he is also our good friend!

“Sabrina did an excellent job in selling our villa. We have worked with her on both sides of a real estate transaction as she helped us with the purchase of a property as well as selling a property. She has been great in both situations. What sets her apart from other realtors is as follows: - she is extremely proactive in her overall approach providing peace of mind that the process is being actively managed, - she assisted in coordinating contractors to address inspector comments immediately following receipt of the comments, - our property was a rental and she worked with the management company to seamlessly transition the property for the new owner, - she communicates constantly throughout the process with her client to keep them abreast of progress which alleviates the stress of the “unknown” for the client. We will use Sabrina for any future real estate transactions in the future - 5 star performance all around.”

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!!

“I have bought and sold 8 homes in my lifetime and Sabrina is by far the best Real Estate Agent I have ever experienced. My last purchase was in a very competitive market with multiple offers being presented on each home we were interested in. Sabrina was always there providing us guidance on each and every house we bid on. Although it took us several months to find our dream home, in the end we purchased our home for a fair value. In addition to her great negotiating skills, she helped navigate us through a difficult and challenging mortgage loan process. Near the end she even escalated to the Vice President of the bank to push our loan across the finish line. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Hilton Head Island SC. She is simply the best.”

"Mark has been wonderful to work with. He's always professional, candid and friendly. Whenever we had questions or needs throughout the process of selling our home he was able to help immediately, and if he didn't have an answer right away, he worked hard to find the answer. Mark really stood out with his professionalism throughout the entire process, even when other parties were being less than professional in our dealings. We really appreciate everything Mark did to help us sell our home. Thank you!"

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.

Drew Butler is not only one of the best realtors I have encountered, but also one of the most honest, trustworthy, and hardworking people I’ve had the privilege to associate with.  We started working with Drew over 3 years before our purchase. He took the time to meet with us, understand our needs, and present us with various opportunities throughout that time frame.  In the process, we shifted gears more than once before we ultimately decided on what type of purchase we were looking for. Throughout the process he was both understanding and patient and never gave up working hard to find the right match. We found his understanding of the Hilton Head market to be vast – with a special knowledge of the Indigo Run community. He worked tirelessly, even on Christmas Day, to help us with the purchase. He even went above and beyond after the close to ensure all small details were taken care of for us, which was especially important since we were remote throughout the closing and post close process. His dedication to helping his clients is unmatched in this field.  Should you be buying or selling, we highly recommend Drew to ensure your experience goes beyond expectations.

"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."

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.

We've known Andy Reed and his team for at least 20 years and have always respected and appreciated Andy's professionalism and knowledge. We consider him to be an expert and our go-to resource with regards to Hilton Head real estate. We were selling our lot in Long Cove in the midst of Hurricane Matthew, so it was a much more complex transaction than the typical lot sale. Andy exercised unbelievable patience, skill and diplomacy to both locate a buyer and agree to terms that worked for everyone. We would highly recommend Andy and his team for any real estate needs.

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.

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.

Since we were not living in the local area, Julianne took on the additional role of investigating potential properties along with the routine tasks expected of a realtor. We worked with her over a year before we found the perfect property. Julianne displayed the highest level of professionalism in all aspects of our transaction, and we recommend her without hesitation.

I found Alec Smith long before I moved to South Carolina. A friend in Maine had moved here and raved about it so I started checking it out and I found Alec. He educated me so much about the area, sending me maps, homes to look at, phone calls offering ups and downs of different areas, but most importantly, he wanted to know what I was looking for so he could help me "check off all the boxes". In May of 2022 I finally made the move here from Maine and began officially working with Alec to find a home. Because he listened intently to what I was looking for, it didn't take long to find my dream home in Battery Point with fabulous amenities. Alec will make sure you get everything thoroughly inspected before you make up your mind to buy or not to buy, e.g. inspection, termite inspection, appraisal, etc. He keeps his eye on the ball making sure things get taken care of quickly and correctly and the process continues to move along to closing. He spent months with me and was never pushy or impatient. AND he bought me a gift card to a high-end furniture store to boot! Alec's great!! I could go on and on and on. You can't go wrong with this broker. I highly, highly recommend him. Oh, and even though I'm in my home now, he still answers questions I have about the house, like how do I get the gas fireplace to work? He helped me figure that out!

We are extremely grateful to Drew Butler and his team for going above and beyond in helping us sell our condo in Hilton Head.  His marketplace expertise, initiative, responsiveness, and communications helped us achieve our goals while feeling totally supported every step of the way. He is one of the most knowledgeable, effective, and supportive realtors we’ve ever worked with and unequivocally recommend him.

We have worked with Andy Reed for 3 years. He has spent countless hours showing us homes in every neighborhood on Hilton Head, helping us to understand the pluses and minuses of each one. He was patient, he was honest, he was supportive, and he never pressured us to buy. When we did decide to buy, he explained the contract terms carefully and he handled the details. When we had questions, he returned phone calls and emails promptly. Andy was always professional, he represented us fairly and we now have a new friend.

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!

Her knowledge, professionalism, work ethic, energy and selflessness far surpassed our expectations. She is extremely personable and a great person while being a tough negotiator with very high standards, providing outstanding representation. Sabrina made the difference in making our dream of home ownership on the island a reality and we are forever grateful.  Buyer of 16 Honey Locust Circle Hilton Head Island SC, 29926.

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.

The Reed Team and Andy Reed in particular were very efficient and helpful when we first came to Hilton Head. They made our home purchase easy and actually fun. Negotiating through closing we were led through the process with ease and confidence. After moving in they helped us in so many ways to get settled and to find our way around the area and to locate different services. Since then, we have referred friends to the Reed Team and have been pleased with the way they were treated. We always felt our friends were their friends. Thank you all for the extra effort!
