When we began looking in South Carolina for a new home, we only knew we loved the Bluffton/Hilton Head area. We hadn’t yet set our sights on any specific plantation or community. Like most people, we arrived in Bluffton having only looked online at house listings, and had a few we hoped a realtor could show us. In our first meeting with Diana Sroufe, she suggested we first look at the communities to see what felt right, before we look at any houses. After all, it would do us no good to fall in love with a house if it was in a community we didn’t like. She took us on a tour of four or five different communities, until we had firmly settled on Belfair (was it the Oaks? the Belfair Wave? the friendly population? all three?).
Diana listened to all of our chatter that day and learned a lot about our lifestyle, the kind of community we were looking for, what type of house we wanted and all of our different wants and needs. As we went through homes in Belfair, she asked what we liked and didn’t like about each one and she used that information to determine which house to show us next.
On a second trip to the area a couple of weeks later, I was on a mission: I was here to buy a house. I had a timeline, and the pressure was on. Diana showed me everything she had that fit into our guidelines. After looking at quite a few homes, I was able to narrow it down to two. Diana listened as I talked through the potential renovations, the overall condition of each house, what would need to be added or removed. During these conversations Diana’s true expertise shined through as she prompted me to consider things I would never have thought of. For instance, one house faced East, the other West. This turned out to be a key factor in the final decision. In short, Diana helped me crystalize my decision without ever trying to influence it.
I don’t believe I would have chosen the right house had we not had the benefit of Diana’s insights, expertise and experience. Thankfully we did have her along for our ride, and we chose exactly the right home for us: the one facing East.

“Working with Sabrina Zeoli as my realtor for selling my Hilton Head property was a gift. From the beginning, she diligently prioritized my needs and timeline, fully understanding the urgency and unique circumstances of the transaction. Because I was not physically present in the market, Sabrina stepped in seamlessly to represent me, managing every detail with professionalism, care, and integrity. She is incredibly strategic in her approach, always focused on maximizing the opportunity for a successful sale. Whether it was pricing, timing, or negotiations, she made sure every decision was in my best interest. What stood out most was her communication. Sabrina is consistent, thorough, and always one step ahead. She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a realtor who is not only knowledgeable and strategic but also truly committed to your success, Sabrina is the one you want in your corner.”

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!!

“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.”

I have worked with Herman and Davis on four real estate transactions over the last six years. They truly care about you, listen to your needs, and go the extra mile to ensure you are happy. Their strong knowledge of the Hilton Head market proved very valuable. I highly recommend them.

“Sabrina was so easy to work with!! From pre-listing and all the questions, to closing, Sabrina was helpful, professional, friendly and very knowledgeable!! Her photos were beautiful and professional. We are so grateful for her help and would definitely work with her again!! She’s the BEST!!!”

“I know Ethan as an honest, hardworking man. An all-around good guy. It has been my pleasure to know him. He will never try to sell you a home or anything else, without having your best interest in mind, & he will not quit until things are right.”
Blair Streitenberger
Michelle is such a pleasure to work with. She helped me in selling my condo and we 'beat' the average time on market by months. She is attentive and patient, knows the real estate market broader landscape and makes great suggestions on strategy for selling. Listens to every question without judgment and always has thoughtful answers. Without complaint she will jump in and handle anything that you may not know to do (she personally organized my condo for me for my pictures - which came out great). She appreciates her clients deeply and shows it through dinner cruises and gift baskets. 10/10, 5 stars, never use another realtor!

Debbie and Daniel Cort are great at what they do! The are very patient and I would highly recommend them if you are considering buying a property, they are very knowledgeable. We love our new place.
Samantha W.
Tom has been our realtor since 2016 when we were first time home buyers to getting us into our forever home this past July! He is like another father to us when looking at houses and if he sees anything that looks fishy he points it out right away! We have experience with buying 2 homes with Tom and selling our first home with Tom. He made sure our sale listing had professional photos and the curb appeal it needed to sell within 48 hours of listing! Tom also showed us homes that we might not have considered but he asked us to give them a chance and we ended up in one as our forever home! I wouldn’t trust anybody else with selling or buying especially nowadays with how crazy the real estate market is! Thanks to Tom and his team for everything! The Masons!
Hilton Head Island Seller
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.

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.

“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.”

“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.

Buyers - 13 CrosstreeWindmill Harbour - Hilton Head Island
Sanders was a pleasure to work with and made our whole buying process quite easy. We started just "looking" and he was patient and willing to keep showing us although we said we weren't ready to buy yet. When we quickly changed our decision and had limited availability to go back out, he made himself available. His knowledge of both the local community and broader area is a strong help to those new to the area!! Even when thrown some "unusual" challenges, his attitude remained positive and, as stated, made the process easy. We couldn't give a realtor a higher recommendation!
Sarah and Ray DiCamilloHilton Head Island
We used Duke to buy and sell our first house on Hilton Head Island. Our experience was so positive we returned to him to purchase our second. Duke is prompt, thorough, knows the market and pushed us just enough to look in a neighborhood we weren’t leaning towards and it ended up being the perfect spot. We are thrilled with our new home and would return to Duke again with any real estate needs. We highly recommend Duke and Linda!

“Sabrina worked very hard for my wife and I. We bought our home remotely, and she helped us throughout the process. She was there for the final walk-through and inspection, and she took care of arranging and coordinating with local contractors. I highly recommend her if you need a realtor.”

Alec Smith has been our Realtor in two very successful real estate transactions in the past year, the sale of a spec house and a personal residence. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to navigate thru the demanding sales process are unmatched, and it has been a pleasure working with him.

Dale and Demetra MatthewsBuyers - Long Cove Club
We were very pleased with the excellent work of Herman and Davis Properties in the purchase of our home in Long Cove. Monica Davis was our realtor during this process and she was prompt, well-informed, professional, and cordial in all of our interactions. All aspects of buying a home were handled smoothly by Monica and her team. We highly recommend them without any reservations whatsoever. If you want the best, go to the best: Herman & Davis Properties.
Steve V.Buyer of 536 Colonial Drive & Seller of 8 Bethel Court - August 2025
I’ve known Drew for almost 30 years, and this is now my third real estate transaction with him. He knows the market extremely well, especially in Indigo Run, and is a fantastic negotiator. Drew is honest, trustworthy, and hardworking, always following up and making sure every detail is handled. With the support of his great assistant, Kim, the process is seamless. I wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else.
Michael & Malinda WirosloffHilton Head Island
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!
Alicia H.
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!

“This was arguably one of the most challenging processes I’ve experienced because of the seller and the agent husband / wife team. Had it not been for Judd, the closing attorneys and the mortgage broker I don’t think this deal would have happened. Many thanks to Judd Tracy and Charter One for their patience and professionalism getting this deal over the finish line. Couldn’t have done it without you."

Sarah AkinHabersham Buyer
"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."

We first met Drew Butler in 1995 when we purchased our lot at 79 Wedgefield Dr. through him. He has always been there for us to answer any questions and to furnish additional information once we built our home in 1998. When it came time to downsize 21 years later, Drew Butler was the only person who came to our minds. Once again his integrity and honesty as well as his personal touch were valuable assets in our transaction. We value Drew as a friend as well as our #1 Real Estate Person.
