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!
Hannah is great to work with. She is very knowledgeable of the market, whether you are purchasing or selling she looks out for her clients.
My husband Jim and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Andy, having first bought a beautiful condominium and more recently our dream home. Andy has been courteous, efficient, and respectful. He has made the often times difficult job of buying real estate easy. His knowledge of HHI real estate is well founded. We would highly recommend Andy to our friends and anyone looking for their special place on the island.
We’ve worked with several realtors in the past 30 years and Becky is absolutely the best. We’ve referred her to several friends and they all agree that she is outstanding.
Alec Smith was absolutely fantastic to work with. He far exceeded my expectations on the time it would take to sell my family’s land. In addition, he consistently kept me informed and the entire transaction could have not gone more smoothly. I highly recommend him.
My husband and I are thankful to have found Diana Sroufe as our realtor. We are new to South Carolina and first time buyers in a golf community. Diana was a wealth of information in helping us find both a fitting community for our desires and a perfect home. She was available to answer our many questions and a pleasure to work with. We are so happy!
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.
“Sabrina is amazing. She is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable with a wonderful personality. Sabrina worked tirelessly for us and was always available and accessible. She understood our goals and needs and, provided a clear roadmap to properties that fit our dreams. She found us the perfect home and stood firm on our behalf to make sure the property was in perfect condition for us before we took possession. Sabrina loves what she does, and it shows in every aspect of her work. We have bought and sold 10 homes (so far) in our lifetimes, and Sabrina is by far the best agent that we've ever worked with. We highly recommend Sabrina for anyone looking for property around HHI and will personally recommend her to everyone who is buying or selling a property in the Hilton Head area. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the top realtor, she is a 20!!”
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.
Drew Butler is not only one of the best realtors I have encountered, but also one of the most honest, trustworthy, and hardworking people I’ve had the privilege to associate with.
We started working with Drew over 3 years before our purchase. He took the time to meet with us, understand our needs, and present us with various opportunities throughout that time frame. In the process, we shifted gears more than once before we ultimately decided on what type of purchase we were looking for. Throughout the process he was both understanding and patient and never gave up working hard to find the right match. We found his understanding of the Hilton Head market to be vast – with a special knowledge of the Indigo Run community. He worked tirelessly, even on Christmas Day, to help us with the purchase. He even went above and beyond after the close to ensure all small details were taken care of for us, which was especially important since we were remote throughout the closing and post close process. His dedication to helping his clients is unmatched in this field.
Should you be buying or selling, we highly recommend Drew to ensure your experience goes beyond expectations.
“From the very beginning, Ethan James displayed a caring can do attitude regarding the selling our home. After talking to other realtors, it was his confidence that persuaded us to select him as our agent on one of the biggest decisions we've ever made. Throughout the process, Ethan's diligence, professionalism and experience was the fabric that held us together, when at times, we wanted to call it quits. Furthermore, we were always assured that he worked for us and that the ball was in our court when making final decisions regardless the outcome. However, it was his professionalism and experience that always led us to making the right decision. Finally, selecting Ethan as our realtor was the best decision we made on selling our home. We're recommending him to everyone we know that is in the market of buying or selling a home.”
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.
Drew is the BEST! I was in a time crunch trying to clear out my mother's home before closing and Drew rolled up his sleeves and together, we got it done! Can you honestly say your agent would do that for you without being asked or guilted into helping? Not Drew. He's just that kind of guy. Drew's willing to do what he can to make your experience outstanding.
As soon as I met Christina I felt completely confident in her knowledge and expertise as a Realtor. Christina provided sound advice for listing my house. The sale of toy home was well beyond what I could have ever imagined.
Sanders MacDonald was great! He helped us both buy and sell our homes. He understood what our wants were in finding a house. Went beyond the norm to find out information about houses we were interested in when it was not available in the seller’s disclosure. Sanders followed up consistently through buying and selling process (i.e. lawyers, realtors, inspectors, etc.) to insure no issues. Lastly, Sanders was very personable, easy going and upfront about a house’s pluses and minuses (i.e. artificial stucco vs stucco integrity). To date we have bought and sold 13 houses over the last 40 years. Sanders has been by far the best Realtor we have worked with both on the buy and sell side. We would seek out and work with him again without hesitation.
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!
We have worked with Michael Haire on three property transactions. He is by far the most professional, helpful real estate professional we have ever encountered. He has earned our trust and proven himself to be an invaluable partner. We strongly recommend anyone looking for a high quality real estate professional to select Michael to help them with their real estate needs.
When it came time to sell our property we did our research and interviewed multiple top agents. We selected Chip and his team based upon his reputation of performance, his knowledge of the local market, his marketing expertise, and his communication style. Despite being out of state sellers, we always felt that we were a priority. There were multiple hurdles through the selling process and Chip was by our side negotiating on our behalf and providing constant communication. Again, as out of state sellers Chip was able to provide peace of mind and was able to guide us to a successful closing. We would highly recommend Chip and his team.
My husband and I met Linda 4 years ago and at that time I knew that if we didn't buy then we would someday. Fast forward to 2024 and we've quickly caught up, picked up where we left off and began the search for our next home and community. I still can't believe we found a property, made an offer, and had an acceptance in under two days! We appreciate all your help in the search for our newly purchased property and we are so excited to build our dream home. Your attention to details and knowledge of the community made the process easy, and we couldn't be happier we chose to work with you. We truly appreciated your flexibility, and willingness to accommodate our schedules knowing that we are not from the area and needed to fly in since we currently live so far away. You were terrific to create an agenda that maximized our time with the best result ever a property that we absolutely adore!
We had an extremely positive experience with Alec Smith as he helped us navigate our spec. home purchase from the time of contract through the 13 month build process. He was a proactive advocate and partner throughout and offered numerous suggestions and advice which streamlined communications with the builder, mortgage broker and and legal teams It is without hesitation that we would absolutely recommend Alec to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a home in the Beaufort/Bluffton area.
Mark Rushton was instrumental in helping us find the perfect land and views for our future 2nd retirement home! He was very professional and a pleasure to work with on our quest!
Best in the business! From the start Linda and Duke helped me through this process of selling a home that I lived in for 20 years. They communicated almost daily and gave help and support when needed. When I purchase again they will be #1 on my list. Thank you, Linda and Duke.
"Alec is a professional through and through. His knowledge of his craft is impressive. I think what I enjoyed about working with Alec the most is he always kept me up to date at every turn so I always knew what to expect. He is committed to getting the job done and he did just that. I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home in the Beaufort, SC area."
“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.”
We recently sold our home on Hilton Head through Christina Forbis. We have known her for several years and found her a warm, compassionate and completely trustworthy person. She has extensive knowledge of the island realty market as well as workers, agents, bankers, service people and contractors.. Selling a home usually entails some degree of stress for the sellers. Not so with her. Working with Christina was a pleasure and effortless with us. She leaves no loose ends and was always available to answer our questions and concerns. She was relentless in her work, always showing and promoting our home to potential buyers. As we live out of state,Christina was kind enough to handle many of our last minute details on her own time. She loves her work, is a true professional and a wonderful friend. All her hard work produced a buyer with a good cash offer. Needless to say we were very pleased. Thank You Christina!
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.
The Elliott Team did an amazing job and deserves all the accolades and praise for their outstanding work, attention to detail, and dedication to our transaction! I cannot express enough, my gratitude in all you have done to take care of my parents through this entire process. Shelley, Gary & Allison did so much to make this transaction flow so smoothly...down to every last detail. I could not have asked for or picked a better team to help out...you are an amazing group!
Excellent experience from pricing through the presentation of the property. Enjoyable, straightforward, professional, and highly satisfactory. Would highly recommend Alec Smith's services.
Duke (especially with his background) and Linda have an excellent grasp of the condition of the real estate market in gated communities. Both Linda and Duke are responsive and provide frank information on the market and what should or should not be done to sell your property.
If anyone is looking to sell or buy a home, Lonnie Goulet is the realtor to contact. She goes above and beyond to make what can be a difficult experience, turn into an easy transition. She will jump in to help even if it is not part of her job. This is our second experience working with Lonnie and never once has she tried to mislead us to make a sale. She is such an HONEST LADY...... and a Beautiful one to boot......Highly recommend Her....
