“For someone who’s never bought a house before, I was very fortunate to have Daniel and Debbie for a team. Between Daniel showing me home after home and Debbie’s updates on the backend of everything, they made the process of buying a home stress-free.”

Drew provided excellent service in the selling of our home. From the initial meeting to the listing and then the sale of our home Drew was responsive to our needs and kept us informed. We highly recommend using Drew for buying or selling a home in the Hilton Head area.
Leslie & Richard SnowSea Pines (Piping Plover)
We enjoyed a warm and welcoming feeling from The Reed Team. Andy really listened to what our dreams were, and then showed us how to make them come true ...with absolutely no pressure. It is also interesting to note, that even after our purchase, he continues to offer support, updating us on other HHI opportunities, new restaurants and community news. We look forward to visiting HHI, and know we have a friend there when we arrive.

Marisa and Diana were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home-buying process. We had a very condensed amount of time ‘on the ground’ in Bluffton, and Marisa was incredibly efficient. She quickly understood what we were looking for and gave great advice (not just what we wanted to hear), and pre-screened properties sometimes faster than they were even on the market. We have bought and sold many properties over the years – Marisa’s ability to understand what was important to us and what would appeal to us was unparalleled when compared to our previous experiences.
Marisa and Diana’s advice about the market, quality of construction and other pros/cons of various properties was indispensable and helped us tremendously in our decision process. Marisa is very matter-of-fact in negotiations and helped come to practical solutions so that we reached an agreement quickly with the buyer. She kept the process moving forward throughout the period leading up to the closing, and made sure that nothing slipped through the cracks – she was always one or two steps ahead of everyone! She also has great network of service providers and was able to quickly arrange things like inspections, and happy to help painters and other contactors get access to the property during the period up to the closing.
While Marisa and Diana are amazing professionals, the best part about working with them is the personal side. You can tell that they really care about their clients from all aspects – and I know that while we won’t be clients anymore, we already have two very good friends at our new home!

My wife and I made the decision to move across the country from Arizona to Bluffton I the Spring of 2019. Having a child still in high school made the window for this move quite small. Diana Sroufe made this transition possible and provided us exactly what we needed. We flew into town to look at homes on Easter weekend and Diana was awesome! Not only did she show us what we wanted to see....even though she knew we would not pursue, but gave us insight and ideas as we viewed our first few homes together. Diana listened and immediately came up with additional homes to view based on our criteria.
Can we look at that one again? I am sure this routine can be annoying, but Diana was there to show us listings....and even go back more than a few times.
When we were ready, Diana took charge and our offer was submitted and accepted prior to our arrival in town for the second round of viewings. Diana quickly took action and even had the home inspected while we were in town. As we left, Diana had a complete list of preferred vendors for all of the things we needed and they were all top-notch.
Working with Diana was the best decision and a major reason this move was stress-free."

My wife Julie and I have had the pleasure of working with The Reed Team for many years, and we consider them to be family. They have represented my family and I in several real estate transactions, and our experience has consistently been first-class. Their professionalism, dedication, and knowledge of the Hilton Head real estate market is unmatched. Most recently, Andy Reed, worked on our behalf in the purchase of an oceanfront home in Sea Pines. His expertise and knowledge of the Sea Pines market proved invaluable. Not only was he responsive, but he took the time to understand our goals and objectives and represented us as if we were his number one priority. We are thrilled with the long-term relationship we have enjoyed with Andy and The Reed Team and highly recommend Andy Reed if you are looking to buy or sell your property in Sea Pines.

Drew Butler with Charter One Realty has definitely gone above and beyond my expectations as a Realtor. I have been extremely impressed with his professionalism, time management and that he always took time to really listen to my questions and concerns. He even showed my home to the buyer on Christmas afternoon. His assistant, Kim Burke made herself available at all times to help coordinate all of the activities that are involved in the process of selling your home. My sincerest gratitude to both Drew and Kim for everything they did to help me. Job well done!

“Paul worked real hard to sell our place when the time came he had to. He worked on our behalf to sell it. He was very easy to get a hold of any time I needed him. I would use him again.“
Beth & DukeOut-Of-Town Seller
As an out-of-town seller, I had a wonderful experience selling my villa with Team Elliott! Shelley provided experienced advice and guidance throughout the entire process, and we sold for more than we had even hoped for! We received a FULL PRICE offer within 48 hrs. and closed 30 days later. Team Elliott is my "go-to" team for all future Hilton Head Island real estate transactions! I will refer them to all my friends and family!
Christine & JohnBuyers - Sun City
Shelley and Gary were both extremely professional. Plus, we felt that we were working with old friends who were helping and advising us in the purchase of a new home. Working with them made the experience both pleasant and less stressful. They quickly understood what we were seeking and guided us in the proper direction. We would highly recommend Gary and Shelley to anyone seeking a new home in a new community.
John and Michele M. - Sellers of 27 Hobonny Place – July 2024
We would recommend Drew Butler to anyone looking for not only an experienced and knowledgeable realtor, but a professional who is always a top-notch communicator with his clients! In the process of selling our home in Indigo Run, from beginning to end Drew went over and above to make sure that the process was a very successful one for us.
Tracey PerezHilton Head Island
We recently sold a property and had the pleasure of working with Sabrina. She is extremely knowledgeable in the process and was quite helpful in all aspects of our transaction. She made herself available to us, whenever we needed. She is energetic and enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services and we look forward to working with her in the future. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Bill & Charlotte Bartow Hilton Head Island
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.
Renee W.Hilton Head Island
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!
Rachel Farris20 Royal Crest Drive, Port Royal
Christina Forbis was great to work with on the sale of our house in Port Royal Plantation. Her grasp of the real estate market on Hilton Head Island allowed us to quickly get our property under contract above asking price. Being a full service broker, Christina was instrumental in helping us from showings to our close date. We would highly recommend Christina.

“Austin did a great job helping me find what I was looking for in a home. Organized, knowledgeable, and friendly.”
“Sabrina Zeoli is fantastic! She worked with my husband and I to find the perfect second home on Hilton Head Island. She was patient and always available. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. She was very supportive from the beginning to the end of our home buying experience. She made the whole process seamless. It is evident that Sabrina cares about her clients and her community. We would love to work with her again in the future!”
Tom and LisaHilton Head Island
Selling our home was an emotional process, but Christina walked with us every step of the way. Tapping into her expertise, professionalism, and understanding, Christina made our experience painless. We highly recommend you call Christina Forbis for any real estate transaction. You’ll get peace of mind along with an excellent realtor!
Claudine & ChrisHHI Buyers & Sellers
My husband and I have bought and sold a condo on HHI with Shelley and Gary. Both transactions were seamless. I was particularly impressed with the pricing of our condo. I thought it was a risk because it was $30k over what I thought we should list for. So glad I listened to Gary. We received a full price, cash offer the day our property went on the MLS. They know the market!!!!! Shelley and Gary took care of everything for us. They were always available to talk and kept us updated throughout the process. My husband and I joke that we feel like we are their only customers. They make the real estate process pleasurable by going above and beyond for each transaction. I can't imagine using anyone else for my real estate needs.
Linda Courey-Degnan
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!

Drew Butler is the most professional real estate person we have used. He is very personable. Living in various plantations on Hilton Head Island gives him expert knowledge about property on the island. His expertise in knowing property value and how to market property so that it sells is #1. Drew listed our property and the second person that looked at our property purchased it. If you have property to sell or if you are interested in purchasing property on beautiful Hilton Head Island, Drew Butler is your agent!

“Sabrina was an amazing realtor. She went above and beyond in everything she did to help make my buying experience as pleasant as possible. Sabrina is very knowledgeable of the Hilton Head market and this is what I needed since I was purchasing a condo from out of town. Sabrina cares about her clients and it shows.”

Kevin,
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all you have done for us. I know it was complicated and not easy for you. From the depths of my heart, I thank you, as you truly made our lives easier and for that I am forever grateful. I am indebted to you and want you to know how thankful I am. Cross paths again, either side, and praying for you and your beautiful family to be deeply blessed.

"Mark has been wonderful to work with. He's always professional, candid and friendly. Whenever we had questions or needs throughout the process of selling our home he was able to help immediately, and if he didn't have an answer right away, he worked hard to find the answer. Mark really stood out with his professionalism throughout the entire process, even when other parties were being less than professional in our dealings. We really appreciate everything Mark did to help us sell our home. Thank you!"
Satisfied Client
I have worked in my lifetime with over 20 real estate brokers. Buying and selling property in many different areas of the country is pretty typical for me. I must say that James Wedgeworth is by far the BEST broker I have ever dealt with. I could get into particulars and it would take an hour to write this review. So let me bullet point: -Professional -Extremely knowledgeable both to SC laws and local customs -Never say never attitude -Great negotiator -Superb listening skills -Amazing support staff (Erin is a rock star) -Kind, funny, witty and overall true southern gentleman. When push came to shove, he got the deal listed and sold in 6 days at my asking price. I can’t say enough. He took what was a difficult situation and made it work. Thank you James!
Nathan R.
100% recommend Julianne. This was me and my wife’s first time buying a home and I cannot image how difficult it could have been with a realtor who only did the bare minimum. Julianne has been working with us for 4 months to find a house and has been very responsive proactive and always working behind the scenes to make everything as smooth and easy as possible for us. She was very real with us, talked us down on a few houses where she saw problems that we did not to make sure that we, as first time home buyers, were not going to get ourselves into a house we could not handle or end up spending a ton of money in the future on potential unforeseen repairs. Now we have closed on a house that we are completely in love with and it would not have been possible without her. Thank you so much Julianne!
Heather Schumacher, Buyer, Palmetto Dunes
“Sabrina did an outstanding job throughout the process. She was extremely responsive and proactive in locating listings that we would be interested in based upon our discussions with her. She also assisted in the negotiation process to help us get the best deal in light of the appraisal on the property we were buying. I would highly recommend her, especially for non-Hilton Head residents like ourselves.”
Nate SwearerHilton Head Island
Richard helped us purchase a home in Bluffton, and we couldn't be happier! He goes above and beyond for his clients, is a long-time Hilton Head resident, and has a great feel for the market. Experienced, patient, honest, straightforward, and trustworthy. Because of his local knowledge, he also knows exactly who to go to for loans, insurance, attorneys, inspections, repairmen, landscapers, contractors...you name it, he has an answer. 100%, 10/10, 5 Stars, whatever the scoring metric, he is one of the best.
