Lonnie is a superstar! She was able to make the process of selling our family home seamless. I didn't have too much experience selling real estate but with Lonnie, I never had to worry. Our property is part of a gated community and she was able to coordinate everything with the HOA, the security logistics, and tight coordination with the buyer's realtor. I really only ever needed to 'sign things' as I quickly learned I could trust her to take care of it all. Highly recommend her for your real estate needs!

I have moved many times in my life, many real estate agent were good, some not so good, but I never experienced a GREAT agents until Shelley and Gary Elliott of Charter One Realty. They went above any expectations I had in helping me get my house “show” ready to list, they helped me manage my two kitties to keep them safe during showings, they helped me dispose of belongings I did not want to move to my next home, and they arranged for a clean up after I had moved out. This was a difficult move because I am now older and alone. Shelley and Gary were always there to help me and support me with anything that came up. I can't praise them enough!

My wife and I made the decision to move across the country from Arizona to Bluffton I the Spring of 2019.  Having a child still in high school made the window for this move quite small.  Diana Sroufe made this transition possible and provided us exactly what we needed.  We flew into town to look at homes on Easter weekend and Diana was awesome!  Not only did she show us what we wanted to see....even though she knew we would not pursue, but gave us insight and ideas as we viewed our first few homes together.  Diana listened and immediately came up with additional homes to view based on our criteria. Can we look at that one again?  I am sure this routine can be annoying, but Diana was there to show us listings....and even go back more than a few times. When we were ready, Diana took charge and our offer was submitted and accepted prior to our arrival in town for the second round of viewings.  Diana quickly took action and even had the home inspected while we were in town.  As we left, Diana had a complete list of preferred vendors for all of the things we needed and they were all top-notch. Working with Diana was the best decision and a major reason this move was stress-free."

"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 recently listed my home with Andy Reed from the Reed Team. I could not be happier with the process. The photo that he had taken we great and the listing looks good online. I am sure it will help sell my house and very happy I selected to work with them.

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!

The Elliott Team is impeccable in their extensive real estate knowledge and are consummate, skilled professionals. Without their invaluable help, we would not have found the perfect home. In addition to the unwavering attention they gave us, friends who were visiting us became interested in the area and wanted to investigate options. The result of the Elliott's efforts to accommodate our friend's limited schedule and stay, was quite simply, extraordinary. Our friends also found a wonderful house due to the Elliott’s focused action. We are grateful to have our friends here and also to say thank you, once again, for Shelley and Gary Elliott's incredible efforts.

Chip was outstanding in every way! He is personable and well prepared. His robust analytics helped us settle on an appropriate pricing strategy that netted a full price offer in just five days! He has a full array of repairman, painters and housecleaners who worked efficiently to get the home into pristine condition. Moreover, since we had to be out of town on move-out day, he helped oversee the move. We were blown away by his professionalism and personal kindness. It was an exceptional experience at every level.

"Matt and Kara have been the absolute best realtors we have ever dealt with. They are a great team and the minute we met them we knew we had chosen the right realtors. They were professional and knowledgeable about the entire process of listing our house, anticipating any concerns before they became issues. They were always one step ahead of the process and the best thing of all is that they are simply wonderful people. My wife and I feel so fortunate that we found them to help us sell our home, which ultimately was both easy and seamless."

Monica and the entire team at Herman and Davis proved themselves to be very valuable throughout my recent transaction on Hilton Head. I was buying a type of property that was new to me combined with living out of the area, but having Monica on my side made it a breeze. Monica is extremely knowledgeable about the market, has all the right connections, and her 20+ years of Hilton Head specific experience shows. She made the transaction very smooth and I cannot think of any way it could have been improved. If and when we are ready to list our property, there is no one else we would call. Thank you, Monica!

Richard MacDonald has been amazing! He was extremely patient to teach us about the Hilton Head market as we began our search. He was always prepared and had done all the legwork for us. Through numerous issues with the house, Richard was on top of everything, even after the closing. He’s professional, thorough, accessible, and super easy to deal with. He was our advocate in every step. We can’t say enough good things about Richard!

I am writing to firmly recommend Diana Sroufe for her outstanding service as a real estate agent. Throughout my husband’s and my experience working with Diana, we were consistently impressed by her exceptional qualities and dedication to her clients. We both listed a home and found and purchased our new home with Diana. Diana possesses an exceptional level of knowledge of the real estate market in the community which provides invaluable insights to make the best decisions. She meticulously guided us through every step of the real estate process and answered any questions which was comforting and helped us feel very supported. Most notable was Diana’s positive energy which was infectious, creating an atmosphere of optimism and confidence even in the most challenging situations. Beyond her positive demeanor, Diana is incredibly resourceful. As well, her willingness to go the extra mile honestly is limitless. For the home we were selling she provided assistance with contractors for any items that needed to be completed before closing. She met the contractors at the home to ensure everything was done properly and in a timely fashion. In summary, my husband and I cannot recommend Diana Sroufe highly enough. Her experienced and supportive approach, attention to detail, positive energy and willingness to go the extra mile make her an invaluable asset for selling a home or purchasing a new home. All of Diana’s qualities helped us feel very comfortable during this time of change in our lives.

I became acquainted with Christina Forbis at Charter One through her marketing of listings in my neighborhood. After a phone call and meeting with Christina to discuss my wants and needs I was favorably impressed and knew I wanted to be working with her.  All her suggestions to market my listing were made to put my home in the best possible light. While I may have sputtered to myself at times there is no doubt she is the expert!  I felt my interests were her priority. She was available, always a source of support and expertise. I would highly recommend Christina Forbis as a professional realtor who will look out for your best interests.

We recently listed our vacation rental condo with Shelley and Gary, and it was a fantastic experience! We were kicking around the idea for a while and decided to test the water since it seemed like prices might have been going up and we figured we would see what happens. We talked to Shelley and Gary a bunch as we were deciding whether to list the unit or not, and they were incredibly helpful with all the information that they provided. Through that whole process we felt like they just wanted us to do what was best for us and we didn't feel any pressure at all to list it now as opposed to waiting. Shelley and Gary just gave us the facts with regard to current and recent listings and sales and stood behind us no matter what we decided. Ultimately, we decided to try the market for this unit, and it worked out better than we could have hoped! Throughout the entire process, the communication from Shelley and Gary was great. They made sure that we knew exactly what to expect from the process/next steps/etc...and whenever we had any questions, they were right on top of things. We have done a number of real estate transactions over the years and this experience was by far the smoothest and most pleasant one that we have had thanks to Shelley and Gary! Looking forward to the next one!

As Jane and I sit in our incredible new home, we reflect on how we got here. As a couple that has moved 8 times, you are without a doubt the best realtor we have ever worked with. I realize I am not the easiest person to please, yet at every turn, you were there with a calmness to help us through the process. Your ability to find a home that suited both of us was not an easy task, yet your determination never wavered. You negotiated a very good price for us, and even after the sale, you continue to help us with anything that comes up; be it following up with the builder, recommending places to eat, or even finding us a handyman. You even delivered us a warm meal while we were unpacking. You can’t imagine how much that meant to us. To put it simply, Jack Menzie is the best realtor we have ever worked with.  Determined, thorough, honest, transparent, and willing to help at every turn. On top of that, we feel we gained a friend. Our gratitude is deep, and we are happy to share your good work with anyone.  Please don’t hesitate to ask if there is anything we can do for you. We came to you looking for a house, and you found us a home. Many thanks Jack, well done!!!

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.

"We were lucky to find Shelley & Gary. We don’t live in the area and had only visited the island twice before realizing we wanted to buy an investment property.  Shelley and Gary took the time to understand what we wanted and worked diligently to find it for us. They always responded to our questions quickly and clearly communicated with us and those involved in our purchase. They also referred us to their trusted resources to help us close on our property without a hitch, despite us living in Colorado and amidst the global health pandemic. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor in the area. Simply put – they are exactly what a buyer wants and needs, and yet, they still go above and beyond for their clients."

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!!

We consider ourselves to be some of the luckiest people in the world to have found Shelley and Gary. Their ability to hone in on our wants and needs in a matter of hours of meeting us was amazing. They keyed in on what we were looking for and took us to places that were exactly what we wanted. They are the perfect combination of enthusiasm and practicality. Shelley will find what you want and Gary will tell you how your future home fits on the property. Who could ask for more! They are the best!

“ It has been a pleasure to work with Paul Rittenhouse.. Selling a house is such a stressful experience. Using Paul as our agent took much of the worry out of the process. Paul is a no-nonsense, get-it-done kind of guy. He always extended an invitation to call him if we had any questions. What was so amazing about Paul, was he responded so quickly no matter what the question or concern was. We have had other experiences buying and selling homes, but we have never had anyone who genuinely seemed to care about us and our needs. His attention to detail is second to none; therefore, we highly recommend Paul to get the job done in the best possible way.”
