We love hearing from our clients! Check out what this seller in Belfair had to say about his experience with Scott Collins. I highly recommend Scott Collins and consider him to be the most professional real estate person I have ever dealt with. Over the years we have sold seven houses, dealt with as many real estate agents, but the experience with Scott was the best ever. Selling a home is always a stressful experience but Scott made it much less of one. He kept in contact with us from the very beginning, took the time to explain the market conditions, the current trend of buyers in our price range, the marketing strengths of his company and the strategies that would be used to interest and attract buyers. He was always available to answer questions and made us feel that we were his most important clients. Our house sold quickly thanks to Scott but an event that occurred just before closing on the sale of our home speaks volumes about his professionalism and caring nature. Due to some issues with our moving company, some items were left behind in the garage that needed to be disposed of but we had already left the area. Frantic, I called Scott the day before closing and explained the situation. Scott said not to worry about it. Two hours later the issue was resolved. Need I say more about why I recommend Scott.

“Paul was part of a 2 person team that handled the sale of our home in Beaufort, SC. We appreciated his willingness to listen to our questions and answer them thoroughly. When he needed to get additional information he did not hesitate to do so and get back to us promptly. Paul is a down to earth kind of realtor and does not back away from the parts of the real estate process that take time and are the unseen steps that make it all work smoothly. We could not have been happier with his skills and with the result. Both my husband and I recommend Paul highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Beaufort SC area.”

We originally dealt very successfully with Richard many years ago and once again reached out to him. His service, communication, and follow-through were excellent. He made selling the property so easy and timely. We would highly recommend him to any prospective buyer or seller.

I could not give Christina Forbis a higher recommendation to be your real estate agent  It was a very, very difficult decision to put our family home up for sale.  Thankfully, we listened to a recommendation to talk with Christina.  It very quickly became apparent that she was the person to help us.  Not only did she fully grasp all aspects of the real estate market, but truly empathized with the emotional impact to our family to have to say goodbye to a place we all loved. We live out of state and needed a person that had superior customer service and was a good communicator.  Christina was with us every step of the way and kept us regularly informed on the status of the sale.  Christina also carefully and masterfully guided us in each step of the sale.  From setting the selling price, staging of the home, navigating thru multiple offers and bringing the accepted offer to a closed sale.  She was excellent in negotiations with prospective buyers and helped us to obtain the best possible price on the sale. Christina also has excellent contacts in the area and referred us to several individuals that were professional, nice to work with, and important links to help with the sale of the home.   In summary, Christina is not only a top-tier real estate agent in all business aspects, but also a professional and fantastic person to work with.

Marisa (Light Cain) and Ann (Walton) are the Dynamic Duo! It Started with Marisa sending us all the latest and greatest listings for months – Then we popped into town last Sept and showed up around everywhere! They were an absolute pleasure to work with, showing us some amazing properties/communities in Beaufort, all the while answering all of our questions, educating us on the area, and genuinely caring about us and what we were looking for. When we found our dream home, they dug in handling all of the leg work, negotiation, paperwork, etc., truly making our experience of buying a house out of state as stress free as possible! If you're looking for Agents who give support, expertise, and thoughtfulness, Marisa and Ann deliver! We liked them so much we keep in touch and look forward to having them over for dinner soon!

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!

Charles Sampson of Charter One Realty in Hilton Head recently helped my husband and me find a condo to purchase in Hilton Head. He was very personable and very professional and, after touring many properties, we found the perfect one for our family. He helped us so much with all the things we needed to do and it was one of our easiest closings ever. He is also wonderful with service after the sale. We recently had some packages delivered to our condo and when the person who was scheduled to meet the delivery people didn’t show up, Charles graciously went to the condo to take care of the situation. We highly recommend Charles Sampson to anyone needing a realtor in the Hilton Head area.

We can’t say enough about Marisa. From the moment we started working with her, she proved to be an outstanding real estate agent. She always went the extra mile and her constant monitoring and timely updates kept us informed. This was particularly relevant as we were able to make an offer on a house previously under agreement and if it wasn’t for her regular communication we would have missed the opportunity. Marisa’s professionalism attention to detail, and incredible follow-through set her apart. She was always accessible and promptly responded to our emails, phone calls, and texts. Her knowledge of the real estate market was impressive, and even if she didn’t have an immediate answer to our questions, she diligently followed up to provide us with accurate information. What truly stood out was Marisa’s dedication and caring nature. She didn’t just focus on the buying process; she ensured that our move-in experience would be as seamless as possible. She provided us with valuable support and resources that made the transition easier for us. Beyond her exceptional skills, Marisa exudes a positive vibe that made working with her a pleasure. Her enthusiasm and genuine care for her clients make her an agent we would highly recommend to anyone in need of a real estate professional. Thank you, Marisa, for making our home buying journey an incredible experience.

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.

We had a wonderful experience using Drew Butler as our Realtor. We are not from the area so we needed a lot of guidance. Drew was patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect home. We have already recommended him to friends that are moving to the area as well!

Richard was very helpful with his knowledge of contractors and other service providers on Hilton Head. When we first purchased in 2014 through the sale of home in 2020 we occasionally called him for suggestions. The providers he gave us were always timely and competitive pricewise.

We could not have asked for a better agent. Relocating from Kentucky to Georgia was a big plan and huge leap of faith, and finding a house was so much easier with Hannah’s help. From doing virtual showings, a video of the town we picked, working with our lender and just listening to my worries it was above and beyond service and care. If we need to move again we will be calling Hannah without a doubt.

Carolyn Welch is an amazing real estate broker. She is incredibly knowledgeable and equally as responsive. She also showed great patience and was a great resource for finding an attorney, lender and all things related to a real estate purchase. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase property in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area.

Linda was fantastic helping us find the right home for us and really good with recommendations for all the services we would require to get settled in properly. She made us feel so comfortable which really helped us relax and make a good decision. Duke and Linda helped negotiate a deal that was satisfactory to both parties. Were a little disappointed they were not more attentive to the inspection. Also, a little less attentive after the close but overall, we are very happy with our new home and the job they did to get us here.

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

"Matt & Kara have given me amazing support as I have gone through the process of searching & purchasing my new home. They have asked great questions to help guide me as I honed in on area & ultimately found my new home, answered all of my questions (even the goofy ones) & have been true partners in the process. I cannot say enough about how diligent, kind, and professional they’ve been throughout this journey. They are a great team and people who I now happily call my friends."

Julianne was my realtor for my very first home purchase! She was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel extremely comfortably during the purchasing process. This was a very scary time as a first time buyer, I am SO THANKFUL that I had Julianne by my side to help assist in this process! She will be my only choice of realtor as well as choice of agent to refer in the Lowcountry! — thank you so much for all of your help!

We were referred to Christina Forbis by a friend and as soon as we met her we knew that she was going to be awesome and the one who we wanted to work with! Her professionalism is exceptional, her enthusiasm even better! She truly cared about our lives and listened to our goals, as we trusted her suggestions and honest advise. Christina was extremely prepared, experienced and determined, handling every detail and situation with attention and respect. Throughout our experience Christina went above and beyond to help us in every way which made our experience a pleasant and successful one.  She managed our home when it snowed, organized a home furniture sale, and guided us at every junction to make this sale happen, and in the end also aided in the purchase of condo! We appreciate everything she did for us and would highly recommend Christina, our new friend, to anyone interested in selling or buying! She made it fun!

Our experience with Christina Forbis in purchasing a house on Hilton Head Island couldn’t have been better! Her ability to dial in a house for our needs, and point us in the right direction was fantastic. During the process of closing on the house,  her communication was outstanding in solving any problems. After we purchased the house, her help and guidance in selecting the right contractors for our remodel needs was invaluable. It certainly helps to have a person who is dialed in on Hilton Head Island!

Christina did a fantastic job! She was professional, knowledgeable, and competent throughout the entire process of selling our home. Most importantly, she listened! She "heard" our expectations and offered realistic advice that resulted in a quick and successful sale. She was in constant contact during the sale and even graciously offered assistance on the purchase of our new home. She goes "above and beyond" for her clients. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and recommend Christina to anyone considering the sale of their home.

Alec [Smith] really did an amazing job at helping us find our beautiful home. He was very knowledgeable about the area and community we were looking in. He gave us great guidance on locating a home that met all of our family's needs. He understood our unique situation and was willing to show us several homes until we found the right one for us. He was always willing to answer questions and was by our side the whole step of the way, and assisted us with everything we needed to close. If you're looking for a new home I would recommend Alec to help you.

James Wedgeworth did an outstanding job in assisting me with the sale of my home. He provided detailed analyses of the local market and changes in trends. He helped me understand how to best list the property and James helped me evaluate and maneuver through multiple offers. Throughout the entire process, from listing to closing, James and his team were incredibly patient and understanding with me, providing assistance as needed.

We have worked with many agents over the years and our experience with Ethan and his team was, by far, the best experience ever! He knew his market extremely well and knew exactly what to push for and when! It's the first agent that we've ever had that we felt like was fighting for what was best for us and not just working to 'close the deal'. GREAT experience!

It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Andy Twisdale as a realtor on Hilton Head Island. In my view, Andy has the complete package of what someone who is selling a home in this highly competitive HHI market would want. His attributes include local knowledge (experience), a positive personality (responsiveness and communication) and perseverance to identify the best prospects. He has a knack to quickly assess which prospective buyers are genuine prospects and which are just tire kickers. He impressed me with his responsiveness -- keeping me in touch throughout the process, and he provided valuable tips on how to maintain our home looking its best at all times even though my wife and I both had full time jobs. He has lived on HHI for more than 45 years and is very involved in the community which proved to be a real asset and has earned him high respect of his peers in the realtor community.

Richard's experience with the community, being up to date with the real estate trends and our needs were helpful with the initial listing. With his marketing and showing of the house, he was able to present an offer to us within a short time (2 weeks). Then he worked with us to successfully negotiate the contract and see it through closing.
