“Sabrina was just fantastic in helping us find our second home in Hilton Head. She helped us find the perfect villa, guided us in making an offer, recommended all the necessary people to purchase the home and was our eyes and ears at the closing. She is very knowledgeable of the market and easy to work with - we recommend her without any hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Hilton Head area.”

Alec Smith was absolutely fantastic to work with. He far exceeded my expectations on the time it would take to sell my family’s land. In addition, he consistently kept me informed and the entire transaction could have not gone more smoothly. I highly recommend him.

As first time homebuyers and now owners! We were beyond grateful for how Sander’s helped us during this process and how he made a way for us against all odds (LITERALLY: market being crazy high, outside of our budget, and the island being in such high demands) somehow, sanders made a miracle take place for us and we are truly grateful! Sanders was also incredibly communicative and very articulate in helping us understand the process from beginning to end. Honestly, the professionalism exceeded our expectations and we wouldn’t have wanted to be with any other realtor!

“Sabrina did an outstanding job assisting me with the purchase of my house. Her expertise in the market's geographic area was instrumental in helping me decide where I wanted to live. Sabrina was very involved with all aspects of the closing and was very friendly and was ready to help give any advice as needed.”

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!

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.

Duke and Linda Delcher recently sold our home in Berkeley Hall. They were very good at marketing the home with top notch advertising and photography for the property. Their support staff at Charter One Realty was also very professional. When issues arose during the negotiations and closing, they were quick to respond.

I wish there were more star to rate the Corts. THEY ARE FANTASTIC!! So professional. So responsive. So helpful. So honest. From pricing, to listing, to showing, to closing and finding our next house, Daniel and Debbie are an amazing team. We are so thankful we chose them!

Multiple friends recommended that we contact Christina Forbis to sell our home on Hilton Head Island, and we are so glad that they did. Christina provided us with valuable advice on the pricing of our home, because she knows the market so well. She negotiated to sell our home for more than we expected. She sold the house the first day that it was on the market. She added clauses to the standard contract that benefited us greatly.  This is the first time that we have sold a home (even though we are in our seventies) and she held our hands every step of the way.  She is truly a professional full service broker.  Plus, she is a fine person.  Christina has our highest recommendation.

“Sabrina Zeoli stands out from the rest! Having worked with numerous real estate agents nationwide and in Hilton Head Island (HHI), we found Sabrina to be truly the greatest of all time (The GOAT). We were blessed to meet Sabrina at an open house and immediately connected with her. She guided us on an amazing journey that led us to purchase our 30-year dream beach home on HHI! Sabrina is not just a real estate agent; we now proudly call her our friend. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank You Sabrina!”

We recently had the opportunity to work with Alec Smith on the sale of our property at Bull Point (Seabrook, SC). At every step of the process, Alec was proactive, responsive, professional and committed to getting our land sold. We are happy with his expertise and the results achieved and would not hesitate to recommend Alec.

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!

Great working with Paul. Listing to closing took less than a month. And was very accommodating considering we don’t live in the local area. Thank you, Paul!

We started a search for Hilton Head properties a few months ago when we were connected to Daniel and Deb Cort. When I spoke to Daniel he listened to exactly what I was looking for and what I wanted to do. He offered up his suggestions as a friend would when helping you to make a decision. My wife and I immediately felt very comfortable with his tremendous knowledge of the Island and the best places to look. He was able to walk us through properties while we were in FL and his attention to detail was amazing as we bought a property without actually walking through it. We were able to do this because of the trust and faith we quickly put in him and his team. When we started the process of the offer and negotiation, his wife Deb took over and her attention to detail and follow up was AMAZING. Again, we were doing this from 4 hours away and needed someone to represent us as they would a family member. That is truly what they have become to us. We then got a number of suggestions from them on handymen and rental agents and they have all been spot on. I can't give enough of a 5 star rating here as I would love to give more. They treated us like family and when you are making a large purchase it can be overwhelming. They truly went the extra mile to do more than asked!

I’ve know Kara and Matt for many years. As partners in the business, I know my referrals are in great hands. There is something special about agents who have called Bluffton/Hilton Head home for decades. They just understand the area and what is important to buyers and sellers more uniquely than agents who didn’t grow up in the area. And their relationships cannot be underestimated as this is a relationship based town - they have some tremendous connections. If you’re looking for transparent and honest people who make your goals their goals, you’re in good hands with these two.

Becky and her team have done two Real Estate transactions for us. She is professional, honest , competent and very caring. She is responsive and her team or she always answer questions, and return calls in a timely fashion. I can't imagine ever buying or selling without her as our advocate. Many thanks for everything!!!

“As my fiancé and I were looking to start the process of buying our first home together, we were lucky to have found Sabrina. Because we had a small window of time to find a home, we knew we needed someone who was knowledgeable about the housing market, dependable and had our best interest in mind. Sabrina truly did not disappoint and surpassed every expectation we had for a real estate agent. She took the time to sit down and explain everything and genuinely listened to the vision we had for our home. Not only is Sabrina professional and competent in her role, but she is also very charismatic, making all communication with her enjoyable. Overall, she is such a positive and fun person to work with, but so detail oriented at the same time - she doesn't miss a beat! I will definitely be recommending her to anyone in the need of an agent because I know they will be well taken care of.”

Alec was great from the start. Knowledgeable of the area and the local market, which was a huge plus since I live out of town . I was confident and trusted his experience and guidance through the sale of my Bull Point Plantation lot; he is very active and involved. If you need a realtor in Bull Point or in Beaufort, give Alec a call!

Daniel and Debbie are an amazing real estate team. Daniel quickly accessed our needs and identified a number of properties that met our investment criteria. In addition, his contacts enabled us to do a quick renovation and secure a great property manager that to date have been extremely beneficial. Debbie was extremely helpful in a number of logistical areas including helping dealing with attorneys and out of state tax issues related to the property. She provided the necessary push when things started to get bogged down. We would highly recommend the Cort Team for anyone’s real estate needs in the Hilton Head area. By far the best real estate experience we have ever had.

“Sabrina is amazing. She is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable with a wonderful personality. Sabrina worked tirelessly for us and was always available and accessible. She understood our goals and needs and, provided a clear roadmap to properties that fit our dreams. She found us the perfect home and stood firm on our behalf to make sure the property was in perfect condition for us before we took possession. Sabrina loves what she does, and it shows in every aspect of her work. We have bought and sold 10 homes (so far) in our lifetimes, and Sabrina is by far the best agent that we've ever worked with. We highly recommend Sabrina for anyone looking for property around HHI and will personally recommend her to everyone who is buying or selling a property in the Hilton Head area. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the top realtor, she is a 20!!”

Debbie and Daniel Cort are amazing! They are very helpful and walk through the whole process with you. Very responsive and there are no bad questions. I was very impressed with their knowledge of the market and their drive to find exactly what you are looking for. When it came time to make an offer they were right on top of everything and kept us in the loop of all the changes made by the sellers. I highly recommend them as they are very professional and friendly and will find you the home you are looking for.

“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!!!”

"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."

Drew made the process of finding the right property very easy, especially because we were not local.  His knowledge of the "personality" of each area in the HH region was especially useful.  Most helpful was his ability to identify properties coming available before listing which allowed us a first mover advantage - always a plus in real estate transactions.  Drew and his assistant, Kim, couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating since we were out of town during and subsequent to the closing.  They both acted as our true agent and helped make the entire transaction seamless! If I have the opportunity to recommend real estate professionals to others I will certainly steer them to Drew and Kim!

Sanders MacDonald was great! He helped us both buy and sell our homes. He understood what our wants were in finding a house. Went beyond the norm to find out information about houses we were interested in when it was not available in the seller’s disclosure. Sanders followed up consistently through buying and selling process (i.e. lawyers, realtors, inspectors, etc.) to insure no issues. Lastly, Sanders was very personable, easy going and upfront about a house’s pluses and minuses (i.e. artificial stucco vs stucco integrity). To date we have bought and sold 13 houses over the last 40 years. Sanders has been by far the best Realtor we have worked with both on the buy and sell side. We would seek out and work with him again without hesitation.

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!

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.
