When Diana asked me to write a testimonial of my experience of selling my house with her my remark was “easy peasy”.  She came to me very well prepared with data and comps which she presented in a very cohesive and cogent manner.  She wasn’t into “staging” for which I was grateful.  My home didn’t sell to the first looker so there was some hand holding involved in the process with her reasonable and thorough explanations.  She was present for all showings, and always got back to me with the buyers’ input about the home.> So if you want an organized, informed, smart , and very successful agent Diana’s  the one for you.  She sure was for me.

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.

Rob and I have enjoyed a long journey with Jack in searching for and relocating to what is now our perfect retirement home! We lived out of state when the search began almost 4 years ago and Jack was instrumental helping us navigate through the process from start to finish. His knowledge of the low country area, the various private communities, and the reputation of the local home builders guided us through our selection process. And we really appreciate how he kept an eye on things for us while we were still living almost 600 miles away! Jack was not only our realtor but he has also become our friend and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the low country. Thank you, Jack!

Buying our new home with Debbie and Daniel was an unbelievably easy experience! Debbie went above and beyond to make sure every "i "was dotted and every "t" crossed. She and Daniel gave us great advice as to where to buy and who to get as our mortgage processor. A usually daunting experience was turned into a very easy and no stress experience. I HIGHLY recommend these very professional agents to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bluffton/HHI area. A business relationship has turned into a great friendship! Thanks Debbie and Daniel for our new home!!

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.

The best relationships are based on trust and excellent communication skills. Alec [Smith] is an absolute professional. The communication level was often but not overwhelming and was supported with good data to help make educated decisions in a rapidly changing market.

Alec Smith did an outstanding job finding the right buyer for my property. He was very knowledgeable on the area and willing to go the extra mile to show potential buyers the property.

Matt and Kara were great agents and I never considered anyone else after our first encounter. They knew the area very well and showed us different areas to give us an understanding of each community. They responded to requests and made adjustments to accommodate my schedule. They were quick to get property details and help me understand the complete picture before engaging into negotiations. They are experienced working on relocations and were able to check out properties when I was not in the area. They were easy to work with and good, honest people looking out for my interests.

I highly recommend Jack Menzie of Charter One Realty based on our experience selling our family home in Rose Hill Plantation. From our initial consultation through closing, Jack demonstrated exceptional market knowledge, professionalism, and dedication. He provided valuable guidance on preparing and marketing the home, communicated clearly throughout the process, and handled negotiations with skill and confidence. Jack was especially patient and attentive to my parents’ specific needs, always taking the time to address questions and requests with care. His proactive approach, problem-solving skills, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire selling process smooth and as stress-free as possible. I am extremely grateful for his hard work and would confidently recommend Jack to anyone considering selling their home.

"WOW! It was certainly a journey but one worth it with the right realtor. It would be very remiss of me not to pass on how incredibly helpful Debbie and Daniel were to me during my first home buying process. Two individuals that truly care and take their time and are so understanding… incredibly patient, talented and immersive in how communicative they are on the entire spectrum of the process. I am so grateful! Thank you so much Debbie and Daniel!! ”

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.

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!

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!

I have moved many times in my life, many real estate agent were good, some not so good, but I never experienced a GREAT agents until Shelley and Gary Elliott of Charter One Realty. They went above any expectations I had in helping me get my house “show” ready to list, they helped me manage my two kitties to keep them safe during showings, they helped me dispose of belongings I did not want to move to my next home, and they arranged for a clean up after I had moved out. This was a difficult move because I am now older and alone. Shelley and Gary were always there to help me and support me with anything that came up. I can't praise them enough!

“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.”

Lorri Hunter was fantastic to work with. She’s easy to talk to, incredibly thoughtful, and makes the whole process feel effortless. With her deep knowledge of the area, she introduced us to several wonderful homes and ultimately helped us find our forever home. Lorri truly lives up to her “Expect Better” promise — she goes above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Drew's expertise in the Hilton Head market led us to Windmill Harbour several years ago, and so when it came time to sell, we never hesitated to put our home in his hands.  From the beginning, Drew led the effort.  He sat us down and provided sound advice on price in the current marketplace.   Drew brought in a stager to present the home in the best light possible, and then produced a breathtaking brochure.  He worked tirelessly to get us 30 showings and several offers in this tight market.  He followed up with buyer agents as well as my wife and me on a constant basis.  Drew and his staff went above and beyond our already high expectations, and in the end, we closed seven weeks after we listed with an all- cash sale.

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.

We highly recommend Christine for purchasing a home in the Beaufort County area. We worked with her remotely while living in Maryland, and the process was simple and rewarding. Once we shared our requirements, Christine continuously provided options that met our needs. She worked around our timelines, never rushed us, and flexibly accommodated home tours whenever we visited South Carolina. Once we chose a home, the deal closed within a few hours while we were traveling back to Maryland. Both before and after closing, Christine unexpectedly but generously offered to meet vendors and check on the property until we moved. She always had our best interests in mind. Anyone choosing Christine as their realtor will receive excellent attention and support.

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.
