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.
“My experience with Sabrina couldn't have been better. I would definitely recommend her for your real estate needs. She is very knowledgeable and responsive in a timely manner.”

Richard was a great asset in helping us find a Hilton Head location. He understood what our goals were and what type of home we wanted. He was on top of things when opportunities came in. He is a great communicator and ended up us getting exactly what we had set out to get. Even after the closing, he still has been helpful and checked in to see that all was ok and if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend him to others.
Alejandro and Marisol NateraHilton Head Island
We had the pleasure to work with Drew recently, representing us in two real estate transactions, buying and selling. Drew made these transactions completely uneventful and extremely easy. We liked his communication style and sense of urgency. We described to him the characteristics of the property we were looking for and he provided a package with valuable detailed information for us to evaluate the properties during the showings. We were able to make our decision immediately after the showings. Based on our experience, Drew cares genuinely about his customers. He is very professional, experienced, and trustworthy. We will definitely work with Drew on our next real estate transaction and we highly recommend him to anyone.

Sanders was a huge asset to our process / purchase. He was knowledgeable, organized and extremely personable. I would rate him 6 stars on all categories if I could. He was very patient in our process but also very communicative. We purchased from Maine, so our process could be considered a bit longer than a typical transaction. He had a great balance of being "in touch", but not too vigorous which I really appreciated. I am very confident when I say that anybody has Sanders represent them in a transaction will be very pleased with his work. He is a very genuine and honest. After the sale he didn't stop trying to help us get situated in Low Country. We don't plan to have another transaction soon, but there is no question Sanders would be our first call if we did!

"Kara and Matt are FANTASTIC!!! They made the selling and buying process so easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. They go above and beyond to make the process transparent and easy. Their promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, and kindness made them enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend Team Raehn!"
Phil & SteveBuyers - Hilton Head Resort
Shelley and Gary are the best! They helped myself and my brother purchase a condo at Hilton Head Resort. We had a complicated situation with my brother being located in South Korea. Timing and communication were tricky. Every potential issue was handled with patience and understanding. Their communication is top notch and expertise of the area is second to none. We were able to get a fantastic deal in a very competitive and fast-moving market thanks to the hard work of Shelley and Gary. You will not be disappointed with the service you and get from Shelley and Gary Elliott.
Jim BakerSeabrook, SC
I was the owner of a building lot in the bull Point development. I worked with Alec Smith to sell the property. I chose Alec because he has a lot of experience selling lots at bull Point and he knows the value of most lots because of his experience. Hepriced my lot right and was able to sell it for me in a relatively short period of time. Alec is very professional and very hard-working. I would highly recommend Alec as a real estate agent.
“We are extremely happy with Sabrina’s performance! She is a very hard worker and always responded to our calls and texts promptly. She answered all of our questions and took care of many “hands on” issues for us since we lived over 4 hours away. Thank you Sabrina for your guidance and professionalism. We look forward to working with you again.”
Trina, Seller of 1 Caleb Court
All I can say is wow!!! I was trying to sell my parents' home following their passing and was very concerned and worried. When I engaged The Elliott Team, everything from our first meeting all the way through settlement went smoothly and quickly. I was nervous, but the Team was always there with advice and words of encouragement. The experience was so seamless that when and if I need to sell my home, I will engage them again. I've even referred The Team to a couple of friends and neighbors. They are the best!!
Jay MinicucciHilton Head Island
Brad Wilson made the experience of selling my parents' home not only easy, but very successful as well. We relied on his expertise, honesty, experience and incredible staff, particularly since we are not South Carolina residents. I am so happy to have chosen Brad as our Realtor and hightly recommend him to anyone who is buying or selling in the Hilton Head Island Area.
Jim Titus, Bluffton, SC
I just want to thank you for the great service and support you gave to me as I purchased my new home in Sun City and sold my existing one in Rose Hill. You were terrific. Whenever there was a need for someone to meet with home inspectors or potential buyers or other realtors to help with the process, you were there. I was out of town for much of the time during the purchase of my home in Sun City and we had to correspond via email and text. That is clearly not the most efficient way to buy a house, but you guided me through it. I think we may have single handedly raised the income of the DocuSign people to a higher level. You made it understandable and easy. It was great. When it came to selling my home in Rose Hill, you once again led me through the process. I was not in the best of health during that time but you laid everything out for me, arranged for some needed work to be done, and it all came together. I was able to net from the sale more funds that I had even hoped for. I can’t thank you enough. I know that the real estate sales industry is a very competitive one. If you ever need to respond to someone asking for references, please feel free to have them contact me. I would be happy to tell them of my experiences with you and Charter One.

"Buying a house with Cort Lifestyle Pros was like having dinner with old friends. They helped us with every step of the process and anticipated our needs. Daniel and Debbie Cort went above and beyond before, during and after our home purchase. We will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.”
Bluffton BuyersThe Four Seasons at New Riverside
I called Sara about a year ago regarding one of her listings. I explained that we were living out of state, but our daughter and her husband had built a home in The Lakes at New Riverside, which was where Sara’s listing was located. She gave me more than an hour of her time and said to me, ‘Keep in touch, and I’ll show you all the different neighborhoods once you and your husband come down for a visit.’ She was so professional and kind that I knew I had found the perfect Realtor. After we came to visit, Sara spent so much time organizing house showings and helped us realize something we didn’t even know about ourselves, that a 55+ neighborhood was the perfect fit for us. After viewing The Haven and Four Seasons, both of which had so much to offer, we were incredibly excited about the possibility of calling one of them home. After much consideration, we chose a new build in Four Seasons. Sara was there every step of the way. Since we lived out of state, she would check on the progress and send us pictures and videos. She was so efficient and caring, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her work ethic and loyalty! We have now closed our home and are preparing to become full-time residents of Bluffton. Having Sara by our side throughout the entire process has been wonderful! I highly recommend Sara, and I have friends in New York who are looking to relocate in the near future. Sara will definitely be working with them based on my wonderful experience. I know Sara started out as my Realtor, but honestly, she has become part of my family and is now someone I am proud to call my friend. I know that once you use Sara for your real estate needs, you will feel the same.
Shari Berman and Tom DickerBuyers
We can’t say enough about Marisa. From the moment we started working with her, she proved to be an outstanding real estate agent. She always went the extra mile and her constant monitoring and timely updates kept us informed. This was particularly relevant as we were able to make an offer on a house previously under agreement and if it wasn’t for her regular communication we would have missed the opportunity. Marisa’s professionalism attention to detail, and incredible follow-through set her apart. She was always accessible and promptly responded to our emails, phone calls, and texts. Her knowledge of the real estate market was impressive, and even if she didn’t have an immediate answer to our questions, she diligently followed up to provide us with accurate information. What truly stood out was Marisa’s dedication and caring nature. She didn’t just focus on the buying process; she ensured that our move-in experience would be as seamless as possible. She provided us with valuable support and resources that made the transition easier for us. Beyond her exceptional skills, Marisa exudes a positive vibe that made working with her a pleasure. Her enthusiasm and genuine care for her clients make her an agent we would highly recommend to anyone in need of a real estate professional. Thank you, Marisa, for making our home buying journey an incredible experience.
Dennis DurickHilton Head Island
Monica and the entire team at Herman and Davis proved themselves to be very valuable throughout my recent transaction on Hilton Head. I was buying a type of property that was new to me combined with living out of the area, but having Monica on my side made it a breeze. Monica is extremely knowledgeable about the market, has all the right connections, and her 20+ years of Hilton Head specific experience shows. She made the transaction very smooth and I cannot think of any way it could have been improved. If and when we are ready to list our property, there is no one else we would call. Thank you, Monica!

Looking for an amazing realtor who really knows real estate and listens to her clients? Tammy Moody is the right one! Tammy is simply amazing and she takes fabulous care of her clients. We have used her on 3, or maybe 4, transactions and she is incredible! Look no further!

Christine was fantastic to work with. She made the entire process of buying our lot simple, clear, and stress-free. From answering all our questions to handling the contract smoothly, Christine was supportive every step of the way. We highly recommend her to anyone buying property!

"Julianne is the “Gold Standard” of real estate! In Beaufort, SC!! Starting from Day 1 she never took a day off to sell the property. She went above and beyond than any realtor that I’ve come across!! I put it in her hands and it was complete cruise control for me. I would highly recommend that if you are looking to sell in the Beaufort/St.Helena area there is no other choice for a realtor!! Julianne Clark is the Realtor to choose!! A++"
Michelle & Justin B.Buyers
"We were lucky to find Shelley & Gary. We don’t live in the area and had only visited the island twice before realizing we wanted to buy an investment property. Shelley and Gary took the time to understand what we wanted and worked diligently to find it for us. They always responded to our questions quickly and clearly communicated with us and those involved in our purchase. They also referred us to their trusted resources to help us close on our property without a hitch, despite us living in Colorado and amidst the global health pandemic. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor in the area. Simply put – they are exactly what a buyer wants and needs, and yet, they still go above and beyond for their clients."
Nelson ReyesOld Town Bluffton Buyer
"My wife and I recently had the great pleasure of working with Matt & Kara Raehn. From the moment we met Matt we knew that we would become partners in the search for our retirement home. His knowledge of the area and his expertise as a professional realtor truly made for a wonderful experience. We purchased our new home after seeing 3 homes. Matt was always there to answer questions or with suggestions; he went above and beyond our expectations. There is an old saying that says: "PEOPLE LIKE DOING BUSINESS WITH PEOPLE THEY LIKE" We like Matt, he truly is a pleasure to work with. Thank you Matt & Kara Raehn for introducing us to Bluffton!"

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!
John Dandolph
"Judd [Tracy] was instrumental in our successful purchase of a second home in Hilton Head. Judd was proactive and engaged while we evaluated options from afar. Judd went out of his way to understand our needs and suggest potential homes but also spend time helping us understand the the pros and cons of different areas on the island. He found great homes for us to look at that matched our interests but also exposed us to the different communities. At the end of our first day of seeing homes we made an offer and subsequently closed on a home. We found ourselves in a competitive situation and Judd guided us to a successful outcome. Judd remained engaged throughout and led us through preclosing and closing processes. He continues to provide advice, insight, and contacts when needed. A great guy and consummate professional."
“Sabrina was an absolute joy to work with. Sabrina was extremely knowledgeable about the area and assured us that she could get us our asking price. She actually went above and beyond our expectations with that. I found her to be very easy to communicate with, and she was very timely in getting back to me regarding questions. I have sold three houses in my life time and Sabrina made this one a very positive, stress-free experience.”
Best in the business! From the start Linda and Duke helped me through this process of selling a home that I lived in for 20 years. They communicated almost daily and gave help and support when needed. When I purchase again they will be #1 on my list. Thank you, Linda and Duke.

We had a wonderful experience with Les Jones! We received a flyer from Les about a condo in our building on Hilton Head Island going up for sale. We really had not thought about selling ours. Out of curiosity, I contacted Les & he told me about the low inventory on the island & the increased demand & increase on price. He was absolutely the nicest man to talk to. Also, he is very laid back & not pushy. We talked about price & after about two weeks he called me back, just to check on us. We thought about it a little longer & we decided it was time to sell our unit. Les had our unit sold within 5 days. He & his office were very professional & thorough. We finally met Les when we were cleaning out our personal items. He is a very nice man & knows his business. Would highly recommend Les & his staff.
Diana Sroufe - Fellow Charter One Realty Colleague
I first had the opportunity to work with Sabeth Biangone when she represented the buyers and I represented the sellers in a transaction. From the beginning, we worked extremely well together. We each understood who we represented and advocated for our respective clients, but we also understood that ultimately we had a shared goal—to bring our buyers and sellers together and get everyone successfully to the closing table.
Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Sabeth in other situations, and I’ve seen firsthand how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She has a wonderful ability to reassure them, listen to their concerns and confidently guide them through the decisions that come with buying or selling a home.
One experience that particularly impressed me was when Sabeth invited me to meet with clients whose Belfair home she was preparing to list. She had represented them when they purchased the property, and when they questioned whether her recommended listing price might be too low, Sabeth wanted another perspective from someone with extensive experience in the Belfair market. I thought that said a great deal about her. Her priority wasn't proving that she was right—it was making sure her clients had the information and confidence they needed to make the right decision.
Sabeth and I have become friends since that first transaction, and I have tremendous respect for her both personally and professionally. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again—whether we're on the same side of a transaction or sitting across the table representing our respective clients.
“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.”

Alec [Smith] really did an amazing job at helping us find our beautiful home. He was very knowledgeable about the area and community we were looking in. He gave us great guidance on locating a home that met all of our family's needs. He understood our unique situation and was willing to show us several homes until we found the right one for us. He was always willing to answer questions and was by our side the whole step of the way, and assisted us with everything we needed to close. If you're looking for a new home I would recommend Alec to help you.
