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!

We owned a Sea Pines townhouse and our desire was to sell that property and buy a single-family residence. We were introduced to Andy Reed and that turned out to be a huge positive as we were able to sell our townhouse in a few short weeks and later buy a residence that matched just what we were looking for.  Andy and his team listened to our wishes and fulfilled our goal. They are extremely professional, know the local marketplace and easy to work with. We have made new friends.

My wife and I made a great choice when we selected Christina Forbis of Charter One as our realtor.  Christina has a real 'can do' spirit and knows the business and the market. She took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in our new house.  Despite the fact that we were working in a difficult market for buyers with limited inventory, she was patient with us and eventually found the perfect house for us in our preferred neighborhood.  Christina is super easy to work with & totally rocks!

The Reed Team and Andy Reed in particular were very efficient and helpful when we first came to Hilton Head. They made our home purchase easy and actually fun. Negotiating through closing we were led through the process with ease and confidence. After moving in they helped us in so many ways to get settled and to find our way around the area and to locate different services. Since then, we have referred friends to the Reed Team and have been pleased with the way they were treated. We always felt our friends were their friends. Thank you all for the extra effort!

Hi Marisa, I want you to know how much we appreciate everything you and Dianna have done for us to help our daughter Stacy relocate to Bluffton. There was an instant connection the minute we walked into 280 and both of you greeted us. Then there was the fact that all of us really fell in love with the house and all the decorating. Yesterday was wonderful Marisa. I cannot begin to tell you how much it meant to us to meet the owners and get to know them. Quite frankly, it’s almost like this was meant to be. They’re wonderful people and I prayed for them last night because I sensed the worry around David’s heart condition. Your job must be so rewarding when people connect the way we all did yesterday. It was truly lovely. It’s been a pleasure working with you and I hope our paths cross again in the future. We will want to have you over once Stacy has moved in.

"We all know the stress involved when selling or buying real estate and Brad [Wilson] has the ability to make all involved feel save and secure with one of the largest financial transactions of their life. His knowledge, and marketing and negotiation skills are superior to anyone I have ever experienced in the real estate industry. We were able to sell our house within a very short period of time for almost the full asking price and in this economy that is quite an accomplishment."

Great working with Paul. Listing to closing took less than a month. And was very accommodating considering we don’t live in the local area. Thank you, Paul!

Christina Forbis did a wonderful job in preparing, selling, and following up in the selling of our Port Royal Plantation home. She started the process by coming up with just the right sales price (a science in and of itself), so exact the house sold within a week after it went on the market. Christina was enormously helpful in suggesting names of people who could help us in our move and frequently checked in and solicited feedback. Not only a first-class real estate salesperson but one who cares deeply of her clients. She was a pleasure to work with, and we recommend Christina without hesitation or reservation.

Marisa Cain was my Realtor selling my home. She was amazing from the beginning. She was very knowledgeable, very positive and very warm. She was the best combination. She attended every single showing of my house and reported back to me after every showing. She was always in contact with the showing realtors. It was amazing that she took so much time. She answered all of my questions. She calmed me down when I was concerned. She was there with the movers. Nothing was ever too much for her. Selling this house was the smoothest experience. And I owe it all to Marisa Cain!

Becky and Monica were terrific throughout and after the successful marketing and sales process. They even send each client from the prior year another closing statement in case needed for filing purposes. A pleasure to deal with in every respect.

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt and Kara on the sale of our home and the purchase of a lot in a different neighborhood. Matt and Kara are a dream to work with! Their approach is a balance of listening to your wants/needs and using their expert knowledge to offer excellent direction, advice, and feedback. They are proactive, diligent, trustworthy, and professional, but above all they are kind and a joy to spend time with!! They went above and beyond, and the whole experience has been better than we could have expected! We would recommend them to anyone, and everyone looking to buy or sell in the Lowcountry!”

Tom represented us in both the selling of our home and the purchase of a new home. We found him to be knowledgeable, courteous and attentive. He helped us successfully navigate through several difficult issues. He was able to recommend other personnel we needed which helped move the process along smoothly. Tom’s amiable personality made the overall experience very pleasant. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Tom to our family and friends.

Duke and Linda brought this property to us to buy and when it was time to sell they took great care of us from start to finish. Duke went above and beyond handling this for us and we couldn’t be happier. Outstanding service before during and after the sale. Simply the best!

“Sabrina did an outstanding job assisting me with the purchase of my house. Her expertise in the market's geographic area was instrumental in helping me decide where I wanted to live. Sabrina was very involved with all aspects of the closing and was very friendly and was ready to help give any advice as needed.”

Becky and her team have done two Real Estate transactions for us. She is professional, honest , competent and very caring. She is responsive and her team or she always answer questions, and return calls in a timely fashion. I can't imagine ever buying or selling without her as our advocate. Many thanks for everything!!!

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!

Matt and Kara were outstanding throughout our home search. Since we were planning to re-locate to Bluffton, SC, their local knowledge, patience, and guidance were incredibly valuable. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, answered every question, and never made us feel rushed or pressured.Their professionalism, responsiveness, and friendly approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They helped us find the right property and made us feel confident every step of the way. I would highly recommend Matt and Kara to anyone looking to buy a home or property in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area!

Our realtor was Lorri Hunter. She was wonderful and efficient! She learned quickly what we wanted in a house and took us to some great neighborhoods until we found our dream home in Hilton head Lakes. She was always quick to return phone calls or answer texts. She explained the buying process along the way. She helped make the whole process easier. We would choose Lorri again if ever we move again!

Hilton Head Island Seller
Having been close to four previous Hilton Head Island real estate transactions in which Dave was the agent, twice for the Buyer and twice for the Seller, when it came time to sell my own condo on Skull Creek I didn’t give any thought to asking anyone else to help me as the Seller’s agent. Dave has years of experience on the island and he is very aware of the current market. As expected I benefited from his calm and wise guidance during the entire process. Dave was extremely valuable in recommending people to take care of the issues that were identified during inspection. Other businesses that I called ignored my call, but Dave knows reliable people. And where Dave went above and beyond, in my opinion, was that several times when those folks came to take care of an inspection item I was not available to be there – Dave met the trades people and waited while they did the work, or until I was able to arrive. That was a huge help to me. I highly recommend Dave if you are buying or selling a house or condo on Hilton Head Island.

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.

The Elliotts are quite the team!!! They work extremely well together and never leave a stone unturned. After selling several homes over 50 years, they, without a doubt, provided the best service of any realtor I have previously used. I would not hesitate to call on them again myself or to recommend them to others.

Mark, Ethan, and their team did a great job with the sale of our house. Through ever changing markets and adversity with buyers, they managed to sell the home quickly, according to our moving timeline. They had all of the resources we could need at the ready and scheduled all required inspections and maintenance for us. Highly recommended.

Richard was fully up to date on market conditions very professional in all areas of the process of selling my property. He kept me up to date at all times, answered any questions that I had; he took care of all details. It was a pleasure to work with Richard in the sale of my property which was completed quickly. This was the fifth time that Richard has worked with me in selling or buying property.

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.

“Ethan is very knowledgeable in every aspect of Real Estate. He is Hard working and a person with passion and integrity! I would recommend Ethan with all of our real estate needs. What drew us to Ethan was his patience and willingness to take the time to work with you. He understands that looking for a home is a personal journey and can be a life-changing decision. I would highly recommend working with Ethan at James Real Estate Advisors!”

Working with Debbie Cort was absolutely seamless and perfect. Our Family needed to relocate to the area from Florida and we had no idea where to start looking for our new home. My wife sent an email regarding a property we might be interested in and Debbie responded immediately! We shared our lifestyle and current type of home we owned to help Debbie show us the best neighborhood to suit us in the shortest time frame. After 2-3 trips from Florida to look at our home buying options we landed on a beautiful home in Bluffton with the amenities that were exactly to our needs! Without Debbie Cort we wouldn't have been able to make our move happen so smooth. And we have built a great friendship along the way. Debbie puts her heart and soul into the entire process. And was always available for any questions that came up. Thanks Debbie and Dan!
