"Alec was a great resource for us, providing insights and advice that helped us make some important real estate decisions. When we decided to sell our property on St. Helena Island, Alec was extremely supportive through the entire process. If you’re seeking a knowledgeable and responsive professional, definitely consider Alec."

“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!!!”

Not all Realtors are created equal, which is why we chose Marvin Hall, the BEST in the Lowcountry. We recently relocated to Bluffton, SC, and engaged Marvin Hall of Charter One Realty to represent us in our real estate purchase. Prior to our arrival, we spoke with Marvin and gave him our list of wants and needs. Marvin listened carefully to our requirements, prepared a tailored selection of properties for us to view, and efficiently guided us to a successful contract. Marvin demonstrated thorough knowledge of South Carolina real estate regulations, taxes, and community fees. He negotiated effectively and represented us admirably. We highly recommend Marvin Hall for your next home sale or purchase.

Thank you, Drew, for selling our home in Indigo Run on Hilton Head Island.  You and your team, Linda and Erin, were true professionals throughout the entire process.  We especially appreciate all the time and effort you put into marketing our property.  You were always available to answer any questions we had and to provide us with good suggestions.   We highly recommend your services to anyone looking to sell a home in Indigo Run or in the Hilton Head Island area!

Marisa Cain was my Realtor selling my home. She was amazing from the beginning. She was very knowledgeable, very positive and very warm. She was the best combination. She attended every single showing of my house and reported back to me after every showing. She was always in contact with the showing realtors. It was amazing that she took so much time. She answered all of my questions. She calmed me down when I was concerned. She was there with the movers. Nothing was ever too much for her. Selling this house was the smoothest experience. And I owe it all to Marisa Cain!

Mark, Ethan, and their team did a great job with the sale of our house. Through ever changing markets and adversity with buyers, they managed to sell the home quickly, according to our moving timeline. They had all of the resources we could need at the ready and scheduled all required inspections and maintenance for us. Highly recommended.

After renting a winter getaway home in the low country for six years, we decided to take the plunge and purchase a vacation home.  We started our search on the internet, and the very first listing we liked happened to be listed by Rich Reed with Charter One Realty.  This introduction led to us signing on with Rich to guide our search, and was a stroke of good fortune, for Rich is one of the leading brokers in the entire region and knows the markets first-hand.  This in-depth knowledge, coupled with his extensive experience in putting deals together, served us well, as the property we kept coming back to presented us with some challenges.  It was on a beautiful lot with scenic views and had appealing architecture, but it suffered from deferred maintenance and outdated interior finishes which we needed to reflect in our offer.  Rich was particularly helpful with his many local contacts who helped us with various cost estimates, and he also kept our negotiations on track with the seller.  His deal-making expertise proved invaluable as we came to know more about the property’s needs than the seller, which led to some protracted negotiations.  In the end Rich’s patience, persistence, and skill got us over the goal line.  As we worked with Rich it became evident that he understood where we were coming from, and what was most important to us, and he focused on our priorities to get the deal done.  We highly recommend Rich Reed for any low country real estate requirements.

Highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling! Debbie is simply the best!

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.

I have been involved in many real estate transactions in my life and have dealt with many realtors over the years. I have to take the time to write this review (I haven’t in the past) because of how terrific Alec [Smith] was from the start to the finish and even the follow up. His local knowledge of waterfront property is impressive to say the least. He got a premium for my home on waterfront and I attribute that to his expertise. Alec helped me with home improvements to maximize the value of my home. Everything from recommendations of contractors to driving over (on his free time) to check on the work being done while I traveled for work. I was beyond grateful to have him working to sell my home. Alec presented me with several ideas to market my home to get the best bang for the buck as well. I was impressed with his outside the box ideas and his commitment to my home. There were times where I wondered how in the world is this guy even making money on my transaction with the effort and time he put forth. My home sold several weeks ago and he has called me several times after the fact to make sure I was happy with how everything went and to see how I was currently doing. Unbelievable! The job was done and closed and he still took the time to see if I was satisfied and if things were going well. I’ve seen that ever before in a Relator. Absolute professional!

Scott Collins was ideal to work with. He took the information we gave him and blended it with his own experience and knowledge to lead us to our dream home in a single day! Follow up was seamless. He dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s. He was there as a stand-in for us as necessary when we returned home 3,000 miles away. We would certainly recommend or use or Scott again in a heartbeat!

"If you are looking for a fantastic realtor then I highly recommend Matt and Kara Raehn! What a team! Both Matt and Kara are reliable, punctual and thorough! They actually listened to our needs and wants. We are from out of state and hoping to find our dream home was like finding a needle in a haystack . The moment we connected on the phone for the first time we felt at ease, and it felt like talking with one of our family members. Last minute we decided to drive 10 hours to meet Matt and Kara to look at a home they found for us. They found it! They found our dream home. Matt met us on a holiday weekend, showed us the house, answered all of our questions and that night we decided we wanted to make an offer but wanted to see it again one more time. Kara met us the very next day to show us the house again and answer more of our questions. We made an offer and it was accepted! Matt and Kara you both helped us in so many ways and we are forever grateful for you both. Thank you for your patience in finding our dream home! We cannot wait to raise our family and make new memories in what now we call our home.”

My wife and I made a great choice when we selected Christina Forbis of Charter One as our realtor.  Christina has a real 'can do' spirit and knows the business and the market. She took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in our new house.  Despite the fact that we were working in a difficult market for buyers with limited inventory, she was patient with us and eventually found the perfect house for us in our preferred neighborhood.  Christina is super easy to work with & totally rocks!

I've known Diana for years now, and it's been such a joy to watch our relationship grow. We actually met when I moved here from Arlington, VA, and found the Belfair home I ended up buying — Diana was the listing agent, and I liked her instantly. Her energy is contagious, and she made what could've been a stressful cross-state move feel fun and exciting instead. After that, I got into real estate myself, first with a local builder and then in general brokerage. I spent several years at another company before moving to Charter One. Still, throughout it all, Diana and I stayed in touch — the kind of relationship that doesn't need constant contact to stay real. Every time we caught up, it picked right back up. When I was seriously considering Charter One, Diana was one of the people I leaned on. She spent real time walking me through their marketing, telling me what she genuinely loved about the company, and being honest about her own experience there. Her enthusiasm was contagious — again — and it made a big decision feel a lot easier. Now we talk all the time. We share ideas, materials, what's working and what isn't, and we cheer each other on when the business gets hard, which it does. I value her opinion more than almost anyone else's in this industry, and I know I can count on her to be honest, generous, and genuinely happy to help. Diana truly loves this job. It shows in everything she does, from how much fun she brings to the people around her to how deeply she cares about her clients. She's the real deal — as an agent and as a friend.

Kevin, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all you have done for us.  I know it was complicated and not easy for you. From the depths of my heart, I thank you, as you truly made our lives easier and for that I am forever grateful.  I am indebted to you and want you to know how thankful I am. Cross paths again, either side, and praying for you and your beautiful family to be deeply blessed.

"Richard is simply AMAZING! We bought our new home in Hilton Head in 2025 and we are so fortunate to have had him as our realtor. He truly has only your best interest in mind. So much knowledge and experience. A wonderful, kind southern gentleman. He will not disappoint you. We will never use another realtor, we found the best! Thank you again Richard!"

We recently sold our house with Drew Butler. The process was very successful from start to finish. Drew brought the data which made the pricing decision easy, his suggestions to “ready” the house for buyers was effective and not overly complicated. We had early showings and a buyer in several days at full price. Drew and his assistant, Kim Burke, were helpful through the inspection and follow-up. They were great at communications right up through the closing. It is extremely helpful that Drew knows Indigo Run and all the reasons it is the place to be on Hilton Head.

“Sabrina’s not just a great Hilton Head realtor, she’s a super-fantastic one! Sort of like a one-person welcome committee, providing useful tips and advice for what a newcomer needs to know about the housing market, specific homes and the local area. She treated my husband and I as if we were her ONLY clients. She made time for us. She got to know us and our housing preferences. And she sold us the house of our dreams in a very short period of time. But she didn’t stop there. She helped us secure temporary housing prior to our closing. She recommended great trades people, landscaper, cleaner, attorney and even restaurants. She also recommended a mover to the seller when they couldn’t find one that met our deadline. In short, Sabrina goes above and beyond, is passionate about what she does and, most of all, is someone who cares.”

We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Christine Reid! We were visiting Hilton Head Island just to explore Long Cove and Wexford and never expected to make an offer—let alone close on a home one month later. This is a second home for us, and we hadn’t been through the buying process in 25 years, but Christine made everything feel seamless and genuinely enjoyable.She was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly had our best interests at heart. She stayed on top of every detail, communicated promptly, and guided us with confidence every step of the way. We always felt supported and at ease.

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.

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!

We owned a Sea Pines townhouse and our desire was to sell that property and buy a single-family residence. We were introduced to Andy Reed and that turned out to be a huge positive as we were able to sell our townhouse in a few short weeks and later buy a residence that matched just what we were looking for.  Andy and his team listened to our wishes and fulfilled our goal. They are extremely professional, know the local marketplace and easy to work with. We have made new friends.

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.

Mark made the whole process of purchasing a home for my father as smooth as possible. Mark was very prompt in answering any question I had and at times acting as my therapist, listening to my struggles. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is purchasing or selling a home.
