Christina [Forbis] consistently proved passion and tenacity by keeping a dedicated close watch on every aspect of the transaction. She offered her intimate knowledge of the local market as well as professionally navigating the complicated short sale process each step of the way.

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.

“Ethan stepped in to handle the sale of our home when our original realtor was unable to continue. He was a huge bonus for us. Ethan is a lifelong resident of Beaufort and knows the market intimately. We immediately felt comfortable with him and were delighted with his efforts and the results. He did a superb job marketing our property and was incredibly responsive to all of our requests. He noticed at one point that I was feeling unusually stressed and quickly identified ways he could step in and take some of the weight off our shoulders. We have bought and sold many homes in the past 20 years. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ethan to anyone who is considering buying or selling a property in the Beaufort area.”

"Kara and Matt are FANTASTIC!!! They made the selling and buying process so easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. They go above and beyond to make the process transparent and easy. Their promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, and kindness made them enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend Team Raehn!"

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!

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!

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.

“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.”

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!

Daniel & Debbie Cort were great to work with! We live out of state and were able to quickly find a condo on Hilton Head Island that met our needs for a great price. They used video chat for a walkthrough and very responsive to any questions. Highly recommended and will work with them for our next property!

“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.”

Dan and Debbie have walked us through the selling of our home in Bluffton and the purchase of 2 oceanfront condos on Hilton Head. They both are truly masters of their trade! They perfectly complement each other in their skills which makes for a winning combination and successful results. They are knowledgeable about the area, diligently do their homework. and have have stellar marketing and negotiation skills. But what stands out to us is their excellent people and communication skills. They both make you feel like you are their only client, are responsive to questions, network and coordinate well with other realtors and service agencies and maintain professionalism, a positive outlook and a good sense of humor throughout the process! We highly recommend them!

Christina Forbis did a wonderful job in preparing, selling, and following up in the selling of our Port Royal Plantation home. She started the process by coming up with just the right sales price (a science in and of itself), so exact the house sold within a week after it went on the market. Christina was enormously helpful in suggesting names of people who could help us in our move and frequently checked in and solicited feedback. Not only a first-class real estate salesperson but one who cares deeply of her clients. She was a pleasure to work with, and we recommend Christina without hesitation or reservation.

Debbie and Daniel were fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond to make the purchase as easy as possible. They were also able to recommend a great financial and legal team to work with throughout our process. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future purchases.

Lorri Hunter was fantastic to work with. She’s easy to talk to, incredibly thoughtful, and makes the whole process feel effortless. With her deep knowledge of the area, she introduced us to several wonderful homes and ultimately helped us find our forever home. Lorri truly lives up to her “Expect Better” promise — she goes above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We originally met Marisa when friends of ours used her to purchase their home in Bluffton this past February. They spoke so highly of her and how helpful she was during their move from NJ. Marissa completely understood our requirements for purchasing our vacation home. It took only two days of viewing homes with her to find our perfect spot. That is because of all the behind-the-scenes leg work and research she put into everything. She is an excellent communicator and fabulous with follow through; two important criteria for us as our primary home is in GA. In addition to every step in the buying process, once we closed, she was there with resources for every thing and every one a new resident might need to know. We highly recommend Marisa to any potential buyers!

As one of the original members of the Palmetto Bluff real estate team and the longest serving member of that team, few if any know Palmetto Bluff and Palmetto Bluff real estate as well as Keene Reese. We surely benefitted from his depth of knowledge and excellent relationships when we purchased and developed our Palmetto Bluff homesite. Keene’s wonderful personality and superior character added to our very favorable experience. We certainly intend to involve Keene in our next Lowcountry transaction.

I don't even know how to begin reviewing the experience my wife and I had with Linda as our realtor. If I could give 10 stars, I would! She's that good. Linda is a total professional, but I feel like she became our good friend too. Friendly, smart, punctual, helpful, and thorough are just a few of the descriptions that apply. She made the entire process of buying our beach condo so much easier. She has a folder full of contacts of other pros just like her. "Need an attorney? I got a guy". "Need a home inspector? I got a guy" (This is New Jersey, after all...). Even after the sale she supplied us with names and numbers of handymen, floor experts, plumbers, you name it. Throughout the buying process, she was always there to text or call. There was no such thing as a stupid question. (And we had a bunch of them...) They were all answered. She was such a fantastic communications bridge between us, the listing agent, our attorney, and the HOA. My wife and I highly recommend Linda. We have every confidence that you will be pleased with the detailed service she will render you. We were so lucky we found her. She's the first friend we've made in our new neighborhood and we will remain in touch with her. She told us to call anytime if we need a recommendation. We will. And we will call to invite her for cocktails once the place is decorated!

There are a lot of realtors on Hilton Head Island that do not work very hard. This is not the case with Herman & Davis Properties! They are aggressive in the marketplace and do an excellent job of customer relations and follow-though, all with a high degree of integrity and accountability. Highly recommended

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 cant 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!

We decided to list our home during difficult times with Covid-19. We were very concerned about people coming in and out of our house and Richard established a showing criteria that prospective buyers must meet prior to coming in the home and during their walkthrough which was for the safety of all concerned. With that said we listed the home at a price that Richard felt was right for the area. There was some criticism from other realtors that the price was too high. Richard was firm on his evaluation and pricing for the home. He was obviously right because the home sold in two days at the listing price. From there it was smooth sailing until closing. Richard handled all aspects of the process and was in constant contact with us. If you're looking for an agent, we would highly recommend him.

We decided to check out the real estate market in Berkeley Hall, where we were currently living, and called the Delchers about a listed home. We chose the Delchers because of their fine reputation in the real estate market in our area. However, that particular home did not turn out to be the home for us. We did not need to move, so we told Duke and Linda we only wanted something we fell in love with. They called a few weeks later and said they'd found the perfect house for us .......and it was! We're now the proud new owners of that property. Next came the sale of our current home. Linda and Duke were so helpful. Their marketing strategies were terrific. They made a lovely brochure featuring the various rooms and amenities of our home. A number of agents showed our home, and within a short time we had an offer. Linda also was very helpful in guiding us through the closing process, the property inspections, and finding us a move manager who also found us a mover. Once the ball was rolling, the whole process was seamless! We would strongly recommend the Delchers to anyone in the Bluffton/ Hilton Head area planning to buy or sell a home.

All I can say is wow!!! I was trying to sell my parents' home following their passing and was very concerned and worried. When I engaged The Elliott Team, everything from our first meeting all the way through settlement went smoothly and quickly. I was nervous, but the Team was always there with advice and words of encouragement. The experience was so seamless that when and if I need to sell my home, I will engage them again. I've even referred The Team to a couple of friends and neighbors. They are the best!

I really appreciated the insights he offered which helped me with my decision making. Overall, it couldn't have been a better experience! I highly recommend Alec.
