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.

We were interested in purchasing a home in the Bluffton area and currently live in Pennsylvania. Our list of wants and needs were long and we weren’t sure if we could come close to finding anything in our price range and that checked off a lot of our boxes. Luckily we were introduced to Diana Sroufe from Charter One and immediately clicked. Diana took the time to get to know us and was able to understand our interests. Diana was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to all communications throughout the process. Diana is closely plugged in to the community and homes coming up for sale. We ended up with a lovely home that was exactly what we had hoped for. I know if we had any other realtor agent we would not have ended up as happy as we are today. Diana helped my sister find a home in Belfair last year. She helped my sister the same way she helped us. Our family can’t thank Diana enough for her hard work and diligence finding us a home.

Marisa (Light Cain) and Ann (Walton) are the Dynamic Duo! It Started with Marisa sending us all the latest and greatest listings for months – Then we popped into town last Sept and showed up around everywhere! They were an absolute pleasure to work with, showing us some amazing properties/communities in Beaufort, all the while answering all of our questions, educating us on the area, and genuinely caring about us and what we were looking for. When we found our dream home, they dug in handling all of the leg work, negotiation, paperwork, etc., truly making our experience of buying a house out of state as stress free as possible! If you're looking for Agents who give support, expertise, and thoughtfulness, Marisa and Ann deliver! We liked them so much we keep in touch and look forward to having them over for dinner soon!

Mark Rushton was a great help in purchasing my first home. He helped me through the process while out of state in a different time zone. He even went as far as replacing the old refrigerator in the house himself. He knows the area and I ended up buying a house recommended by him that I was unaware of. I would recommend him as a real estate agent.

I recently had the pleasure of working with David Wedgeworth to sell my home. From our initial conversations and throughout the whole process, David was always professional and highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure I always felt like a priority. At each step in the whole process, David came through with a commitment to excellence. David and his staff always went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of, from arranging inspections to finding qualified people to do any necessary repairs. He came to the house in a tropical storm to make sure that everything was ship-shape and to see if I required any assistance. He was especially knowledgeable about my neighborhood and was able to answer questions and help a buyer understand living on a marsh. He has lived on Hilton Head his whole life and the knowledge he has gained from that is incredibly broad and helpful to buyers and sellers alike.

After vacationing on Hilton Head Island for several years, we were ready to house hunt and Christina Forbis was recommended to us by one of her very satisfied former clients.  She hung in there with us for several more years, showing us properties as we continued to vacation and ponder retirement on the Island.    We were all over the place with our search and Christina patiently helped us hone in on the areas we liked best and the type of house we wanted.   She helped us learn about Hilton Head and its communities and made adjustments to our search as our thinking evolved. We relied on her experience and expertise to help us navigate the sales and closing processes and she was quick to respond to the dozens of questions we threw her way.   We enjoyed working with Christina and found her sense of humor, professional demeanor and code of ethics to be in line with the qualities we wanted in a real estate agent.  We would certainly recommend her without reservation.

"My wife and I have worked with Judd Tracy on several occasions. We have purchased and sold a property in Sea Pines. We have also referred him to friends that have interest in HHI. Judd is great to work with, he is professional and low key. Never any pressure. He is patient and willing to show as many properties that it takes. We will certainly work with Judd for our real estate needs.”

Purchased a home in Sea Pines with Andy and the Reed Team. Andy’s knowledge of the local area and the individual communities was very helpful. He worked with us over the span of two years as we searched for the right second home. During our search we came to the island several times and when Andy was not available Rich took us around. Then when we finally decided on a home, Andy and his Dad were both there to help out. It’s really a team approach and we appreciated that very much. As if finding the perfect home was not enough we were actually living out of the country when we went under contract - 2,500 miles away in Asia. Andy kept us up to date and on track for our closing. If you are looking for an agent or a team of agents that care about finding you the right home or second home - call on Andy and the Reed Team.

Alec did an outstanding job assisting with the purchase of a vacant lot on Lady’s Island. It is the ideal location for me to look at developing in the future. Alec was patient with listening to my wants and desires for the lot and took the time to review everything about the lot with me. His negotiating skills helped to secure the lot for the price I was willing to pay. Alec and his family will forever be considered friends and I know I will be working with Alec again in the future.

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.

Debbie and Daniel were fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond to make the purchase as easy as possible.

I want to thank Shelley and Gary Elliott for listing and selling my property. I spent the whole time in my easy chair while they did all the work. The phone calls to sell my furnishings that I was not taking with me. Setting up the mover to come and take my possessions to my new residence. They even contacted the people where I’m going to find out if everything was in place so that there would not be any hiccups. They arranged to have some ladies come in and pack up all my belongings that I was taking with me. Again, I spent my whole time in my easy chair.

I’ve known Drew for almost 30 years, and this is now my third real estate transaction with him. He knows the market extremely well, especially in Indigo Run, and is a fantastic negotiator. Drew is honest, trustworthy, and hardworking, always following up and making sure every detail is handled. With the support of his great assistant, Kim, the process is seamless. I wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else.

We started a search for Hilton Head properties a few months ago when we were connected to Daniel and Deb Cort. When I spoke to Daniel he listened to exactly what I was looking for and what I wanted to do. He offered up his suggestions as a friend would when helping you to make a decision. My wife and I immediately felt very comfortable with his tremendous knowledge of the Island and the best places to look. He was able to walk us through properties while we were in FL and his attention to detail was amazing as we bought a property without actually walking through it. We were able to do this because of the trust and faith we quickly put in him and his team. When we started the process of the offer and negotiation, his wife Deb took over and her attention to detail and follow up was AMAZING. Again, we were doing this from 4 hours away and needed someone to represent us as they would a family member. That is truly what they have become to us. We then got a number of suggestions from them on handymen and rental agents and they have all been spot on. I cant give enough of a 5 star rating here as I would love to give more. They treated us like family and when you are making a large purchase it can be overwhelming. They truly went the extra mile to do more than asked!

We consider ourselves to be some of the luckiest people in the world to have found Shelley and Gary. Their ability to hone in on our wants and needs in a matter of hours of meeting us was amazing. They keyed in on what we were looking for and took us to places that were exactly what we wanted. They are the perfect combination of enthusiasm and practicality. Shelley will find what you want and Gary will tell you how your future home fits on the property. Who could ask for more! They are the best!

"I have experienced several moves over the years and this most recent move was the most challenging. I interviewed three realty firms and there was no contest. Austin Stokes and Ethan James, the Ethan James Team, of Charter One came to meet me ready to listen to my expectations and with a very professional presentation of how they wanted to market my home and were as interested as I in getting my home sold. Austin promised me he would help me in any way I needed from start to finish. This was more than just a sales pitch, a nice gesture. He has taken boxes for donations, trash bags out, and checked in often to see if I needed help with anything. He meant every word. Austin and Ethan are the knowledgeable, hardworking, professional gentlemen to whom you want to trust the buying or selling of your home."

Alec Smith is absolutely amazing to deal with and should be your only choice for Lowcountry real estate. I worked with him for almost two years before we finally found a property and he was never impatient or pushy. He worked very hard to find me exactly what I was looking for even though it wasn't a really large real estate purchase. We eventually bought land instead of a home but he worked as if he was selling us a mansion. I would definitely say he is driven by relationships over paychecks. Alec is very knowledgeable of the local real estate environment and has many resources at his disposal to help you make the proper decision. He provided many other points of contact that will be helpful as we move forward with our build. I will only use Alec for any purchases I make in the Beaufort area.

Dan and Debbie have walked us through the selling of our home in Bluffton and the purchase of 2 oceanfront condos on Hilton Head. They both are truly masters of their trade! They perfectly complement each other in their skills which makes for a winning combination and successful results. They are knowledgeable about the area, diligently do their homework. and have have stellar marketing and negotiation skills. But what stands out to us is their excellent people and communication skills. They both make you feel like you are their only client, are responsive to questions, network and coordinate well with other realtors and service agencies and maintain professionalism, a positive outlook and a good sense of humor throughout the process! We highly recommend them!
