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.

Andy and The Reed Team came to us very highly recommended, and they delivered. We really appreciated his thorough knowledge of the real estate market in Long Cove.   We were kept fully informed from start to finish during the whole process of selling. Extremely satisfied with the results.

Multiple friends recommended that we contact Christina Forbis to sell our home on Hilton Head Island, and we are so glad that they did. Christina provided us with valuable advice on the pricing of our home, because she knows the market so well. She negotiated to sell our home for more than we expected. She sold the house the first day that it was on the market. She added clauses to the standard contract that benefited us greatly.  This is the first time that we have sold a home (even though we are in our seventies) and she held our hands every step of the way.  She is truly a professional full service broker.  Plus, she is a fine person.  Christina has our highest recommendation.

We had an outstanding experience working with Shelley and Gary Elliott of the The Elliott Team as our realtors. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping us every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, always taking the time to answer our questions. We are so grateful for all their hard work and highly recommend Shelley and Gary Elliott to anyone looking for excellent real estate agents. They went above and beyond for us, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.

Linda was fantastic - knowledgeable, very responsive and very professional. She made finding our dream home and selling our current vacation home an absolute breeze.

Alec [Smith] is a true professional realtor. He's very knowledgeable about the Low Country/Beaufort area and has great suggestions for service providers. We had a few challenges. But, Alec was a great communicator who kept us informed and guided us along the way. He was by our side giving encouragement during the whole process. Alec goes above and beyond what one should reasonably expect from their realtor. We highly recommend working with Alec.

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!

Incredibly seasoned, helpful and friendly. No detail escaped Richard MacDonald and he did a magnificent job of listing and selling our home in Hilton Head. Richard's long experience with real estate on the Island worked to our advantage. Very easy to work with as well.

“Paul successfully marketed and sold two homes for us on Long Island at our asking prices. He is knowledgeable, gave us great advice, and was so easy to work with, not to mention having a great sense of humor! Additionally, he has an extensive knowledge of construction and was able to guide us on needed repairs. I highly recommend him as a sales professional.”

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.

Michael and Michelle were an amazing team to work with. Their knowledge of the local market combined with their diverse skill sets were just the right combination that I needed to sell my unique property. They were patient and professional as I wavered on decisions and confidently guided me through how to respond to each of the multiple offers I received. They were always there to perform helpful tasks while I was out of town and Michael even revived a riding lawnmower that died in the middle of the yard before an open house! I highly recommend Michael and Michelle to sell or buy your next home. They will get the job done for you!

What a journey we’ve been on the last year! We knew that we needed to downsize but we also wanted a nice garden for Lisa. Daniel and Debbie were with us on every step of this journey and they were so generous of their patience with us! Their attention to detail was amazing and their advice was always well thought out. The respect they’ve earned in the community was obvious when dealing with contractors, roofers, plumbers, inspectors, etc. They were always able to get quick and reliable replies. Daniel and Debbie did a wonderful job selling our house and finding our new home. They are an awesome couple and you couldn’t go wrong with the Cort Team.

Drew could not have been a better agent to work with. His knowledge of the market was excellent and his attention to detail was phenomenal. He facilitated all the inspections, made tremendous recommendations for any work that was needed, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. We would recommend Drew to everyone looking to buy on Hilton Head Island - you won't find a finer person to work with.

Hannah was great to work with. Being a first time homebuyer can be intimidating but she made the process very easy and was great at explaining all the details. Hannah was always very responsive and was awesome at working with hectic work schedules. She even worked on her vacation to make sure we were able to get an offer in on the home we ended up purchasing. It was a pleasure working with Hannah and would highly recommend for anyone looking to purchase a home.

"Matt & Kara were beyond helpful in our journey of buying a home. They were timely, responsive, communicative, and answered every question we had. They went out of their way to send us listings and recommended certain areas/neighborhoods they believed checked the boxes of what our family was looking for. We are so grateful to have had their help and expertise during our home buying process. We can’t recommend them enough!"

We recently had the opportunity to work with Alec Smith on the sale of our property at Bull Point (Seabrook, SC). At every step of the process, Alec was proactive, responsive, professional and committed to getting our land sold. We are happy with his expertise and the results achieved and would not hesitate to recommend Alec.

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.

As my wife and I celebrated our 61st anniversary last week, we also celebrated the sale of our Bluffton-Hilton Head area home! In our 61 years together, this was only the 2nd home we have ever sold. The vast experience and extensive knowledge of the Sun City area, combined with the utmost care for our entire process from Shelley, Gary and Allison, resulted in a seamless transaction. Their team took care of our sale from the pre-listing/listing, the staging, the competitive price point, the high quality marketing tools/brochure, and the special attention to every last detail while we were 800 miles away! Our home pended in the first week and closed with ease. We were so fortunate to have been paired with The Elliott Team through our daughter's (realtor in Indiana) Leading RE Referral Department. We not only found remarkable realtors, we found some very special "new friends". They are truly worthy of a 10 star rating... simply the best!

Our introduction to Cristina was through the purchase of our new home in Port Royal, in which she represented the sellers of the house we ended up buying.  We agreed to a dual agent relationship whereby she handled both sides of the transaction.  Admittedly, we had some concerns about conflicts of interest but those were quickly allayed as she handled matters like a true pro.  We never felt like we were being played off against the other side, and that all negotiated points were balanced with an aim to closing the deal.  We had confidence in her ability to represent our interests fairly and genuinely throughout a process that went smoothly and with hardly any issues.  Even after the closing, Christina continues to be a resource.  As we are new to the HHI community, she’s provided valuable information that has enabled us to transition easily into our new home.  We stay in contact with her on a regular basis and she’s always available to take our call.  We consider her a friend and are very fortunate to have her counsel and assistance as needed.

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.

Finding a realtor while home hunting from out of town can be challenging, however, Hannah made the process easy. She made herself available whenever we needed to come see homes (even the day of her daughter’s 3rd birthday party). She kept great communication throughout the whole process, staying on top of everything that came our way with our new construction home. Whether you’re buying or selling, out of town or local, choosing Hannah for your realtor will make the whole process a lot smoother.

In 2014, Christina helped us find our “forever home” in our “forever community.” Our daughters settled in the region, and now 5 grandchildren later we needed more room. Christina helped us develop a buy/sell strategy as well as navigate one of the more dynamic real estate markets in years. Christina’s professionalism and attention to details are unparalleled. We successfully purchased on next “forever home” in the same community we have grown to love – Port Royal Plantation. If you can imagine it, Christina can make it happen- I have seen her do it!
