“Working with Sabrina was the highlight of my moving experience. I was only able to visit houses with her for one day, but she made the most of that time and was really able to home in on exactly what I wanted. Over the next couple months as I worked to sell my home in New Jersey, Sabrina sent me emails of current listings tailored to every detail I had mentioned during our one day together. When the listing for my house came up I wasn't able to make the trip down to see it myself. Sabrina did a virtual walk-through with me and gave me her honest opinion that she thought this house could be the right fit. I trusted her so much that I bought my house site-unseen! Throughout it all Sabrina was kind, professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She made my home buying experience a breeze, which was much appreciated since my home selling experience in New Jersey was a nightmare. I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking to buy a home in the Hilton Head/Bluffton area.”

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.

We contacted Christina Forbis because we had heard from friends that she was the best on the Island, that turned out to be completely accurate. She responded immediately and was very accessible. She used the first day to show us areas that we were interested in. By the second day she hit the nail on the head. We found a property in the Port Royal Plantation that was perfect, she got us the home of our dreams!  That was only the beginning of all of the work she did for us. She coordinated every step after that and made the transition easy.  We can't say enough great things about Christina’s professionalism. We also feel like we made a new friend. She is super easy to talk to, we had a lot of laughs and now we are looking forward to being her neighbor in beautiful Port Royal.

It was serendipity that brought us together with Marisa as we began our exploration of the Lowcountry and Bluffton area, in general.  And it all blossomed from there. Marisa is fun and friendly, which make long days of touring communities and houses a whole lot more enjoyable. And she is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the process. We truly enjoyed her approach of introducing us first to the communities and helping us narrow down the list of choices to a much more manageable subset. She took the time to get to know us and try to understand how we described our likes and wants, so she could help us to first identify the community that is right for us. And she explained why this is an important step in the process.  Because we were coming in from out of town, she did a very nice job of being our “boots on the ground“. Marisa is also very professional and helped us through the entire home buying process. As others have noted, her service and care extended beyond signing the contract, as she helped us with utilities, with ideas about where to purchase furniture, etc. We are pleased to call Marisa a friend, now, and highly recommend her.

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.

“Working with Sabrina Zeoli as my realtor for selling my Hilton Head property was a gift. From the beginning, she diligently prioritized my needs and timeline, fully understanding the urgency and unique circumstances of the transaction. Because I was not physically present in the market, Sabrina stepped in seamlessly to represent me, managing every detail with professionalism, care, and integrity. She is incredibly strategic in her approach, always focused on maximizing the opportunity for a successful sale. Whether it was pricing, timing, or negotiations, she made sure every decision was in my best interest. What stood out most was her communication. Sabrina is consistent, thorough, and always one step ahead. She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a realtor who is not only knowledgeable and strategic but also truly committed to your success, Sabrina is the one you want in your corner.”

Even though we're still in the early stages of our search, Marisa has been incredibly generous with her time, knowledge, and expertise.She is truly a wealth of information about Bluffton and the surrounding communities. From helping us understand the different communities and lifestyles to answering countless questions about the area, she has been an invaluable resource.

Have been working with Richard for about 10 years. He has always been very helpful and very honest. Moved us through the process of buying and sell homes twice over a 7 year period. Could not have been faster to respond to our request to visit a home overnight, which led to us placing a purchase offer within 24 hrs. He placed our house on the market and had a contract in 24 hrs. All matters handled excellently. My wife and I are very happy to be working with Richard.

Marvin sold our home in Rose Hill and it was an awesome experience. He's extremely knowledgeable and professional, taking the time to explain every aspect of selling our home so we were comfortable with the experience. He kept in constant contact with us, taking care of all the details to ensure the sale went smoothly. After selling our home, Marvin helped us sell my mother's house in Sun City. My mother couldn't have been happier with Marvin and how he took care of all the details. If you're looking for a Realtor, look no further than Marvin Hall. He'll do an awesome job for you.

We had an amazing experience with Christina! From our first meeting, she was professional and easy to communicate with. You can tell that she is a real "go getter"! She worked so hard with us and provided great advice and feedback from start to finish. Selling a home during this Covid-19 pandemic was uncharted territory for all of us and she kept us grounded and got the job done in less than a month from list to close. You won't be disappointed with Christina, she is the real deal!

“ 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.”

Sanders was an absolute 10 out of 10. From the first email Sanders responsiveness was top notch. I think I maybe had one call that wasn’t picked up after the 3rd ring. He is friendly, patient and will take the time to get to know you and help you find the right house. He is not a pushy agent…he gives you honest responses and helps you understand the pro’s/con’s of areas and homes. Sanders is incredibly knowledgeable about the Hilton Head area as he grew up there plus he draws on the experience of his father Richard who has been an agent in the area for decades. Sanders was also invaluable in helping us transition into the area, introducing us to local vendors and personally helping us with the house. I strongly recommend Sanders and have to many close friends.

“Matt and Kara Raehn made the incredibly daunting task of selling our first home extremely manageable and less scary. While it was a ton of work, they made sure to hold my hand through it all and taught us how to get our home ready to list and made sure it sold for what we were hoping for. We quite literally could not have done it without them!”

I had the pleasure of co-listing a home in Hampton Lake with my fellow Charter One Realty agent and friend, Michelle Garbade. Michelle lives in Hampton Lake and brought both her knowledge of the community and the advantage of being right there whenever something needed attention at the property. What I especially appreciated was how easy Michelle was to work with. She was always willing to step in and help, and there was never a question of “whose job is this?” We simply worked together and did what was best for our sellers. That experience reminded me of one of the things I value about being part of Charter One Realty—the ability to collaborate with another experienced agent and bring our individual strengths together for the benefit of our clients. I would happily work with Michelle again and feel very comfortable recommending her to anyone buying or selling in Hampton Lake.

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!

When it was time to downsize my home on Hilton Head Island, I called Angela Barbic. After living here for over 50 years, I had a long list  of “must haves.” Angela listened. She took the time to understand what mattered the most. As she suggested homes, she made sure I knew all the details, amenities and community rules. She was always quick to respond to any questions, sometimes having to do research for the answers, but always got right back to me. Thanks to her, we found my perfect new home. She stayed by my side every step of the way, financing, inspections, and closing.  Her suggestions and recommendations have been absolutely invaluable.

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!

Alec Smith was incredible to work with. There were quite a number of challenges that presented themselves in the midst of marketing and selling our property and Alec tackled them head-on. His professional demeanor, knowledge of the area and professional contacts were a huge part in our closing being a success. I would highly recommend him and hope to work with him in the future.
