Daniel and Debbie are super people who made our house purchase process a breeze. They were always very responsive and made us feel that we were their only client. Debbie and Daniel are courteous and very professional which is not always easy to find. You will not go wrong with this awesome team.

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!!

“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.”

We began our lowcountry real estate journey with Alec Smith about a year and a half ago. His extensive knowledge of the area guided us to our dream property, his shrewd negotiating skills ensured that we secured the best possible price, and his professionalism and attention to detail guaranteed that everything came together seamlessly. Alex will forever be our Realtor when the need arises, but now he is also our good friend!
Mark and Janet W. - Buyers of 17 Sam's Point Ln - February 2024
Drew just helped us buy a home and we are still speaking of his and his team’s professionalism and his ability to listen and put our interests first. We were clearly not just a “commission check.” He was available and extremely knowledgeable about SC real estate. We would ask for his help again in the future and have already recommended him to family and friends.
Denise & Gail - Buyers16 Fairway Winds Place, Hilton Head
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.
Dick and Meg S. – Sellers of 21 Balmoral Place - December 2024
We recently sold our house with Drew Butler. The process was very successful from start to finish. Drew brought the data which made the pricing decision easy, his suggestions to “ready” the house for buyers was effective and not overly complicated. We had early showings and a buyer in several days at full price. Drew and his assistant, Kim Burke, were helpful through the inspection and follow-up. They were great at communications right up through the closing. It is extremely helpful that Drew knows Indigo Run and all the reasons it is the place to be on Hilton Head.
Satisfied ClientSeller - 8 Holly Grove Road, Berkeley Hall
Sold my house in one day! The Delcher's understand the Lowcountry golf communities like no other brokers. I found them to be extremely organized, professional, and very easy to work with. I let them guide me on what to list my house for based on their due diligence with the comps in our area. They marketed my home quickly and exceptionally. I had a contract on my house before it was actually listed on MLS. I highly recommend the Delcher's if you are looking for experienced brokers who know this market and are a pleasure to work with!
Julianne helped us with buying and selling our Beaufort home and she was fabulous. Even in a tough market, we were contingent within a month. She was great to work with and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a realtor in the Beaufort 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.
Randel ZahnBurton, Beaufort SC
Alec Smith is a very professional and customer Service oriented. Our home went on the market on a Monday and we were under Contract with a buyer by that Friday. He was always available and continuously offering assistance. I Highly Recommend Alec as a Realtor!!!!
I met Tom at an open house he was hosting. This property was not a fit for our needs. Tom's disciplined follow up approach made him the agent we needed and wanted to work with. Tom regularly communicated with us and updated us on all new listings coming to market. After several visits we landed the perfect house for our needs. Tom provided excellent counsel throughout the entire process. Beyond the strong local knowledge, process expertise and guidance, top rate responsiveness the added bonus is that Tom is a great guy ! I would use Tom for all my real estate needs.
Satisfied Client
From start to finish, James [Wedgeworth] provided exemplary service. His knowledge of the market and his proactive approach made the selling process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend his services.
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!

"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."
Annie AndrewsHampton Hall Seller & Rose Hill Buyer
“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!”

We’ve worked with several realtors in the past 30 years and Becky is absolutely the best. We’ve referred her to several friends and they all agree that she is outstanding.
The Ferrick Family, 129 Evian Villa Buyer
"Sabrina is amazing, she took the time to really get to know us and understand what type of property we were looking for. Her knowledge of real estate in general, and Hilton Head specifically, was invaluable as we are not from the area. Sabrina is an excellent communicator so we felt like we always knew exactly what was happening during what was, for us, a very quick offer to close situation. Sabrina went above and beyond what I would expect from any realtor. Even after we closed she has continued to stay in touch and been a resource. This is especially comforting as we do not live locally and it is wonderful to have someone in Hilton Head to touch base with if we have any concerns. Most importantly, Sabrina is an incredibly warm and caring person. She never pressured us and throughout the entire buying process it was clear that ultimately her goal was for us to find a very special home in Hilton Head. We feel very fortunate to have connected with Sabrina and highly recommend her!"
Michael and Gina CelesteBuyers - Latitude Margaritaville
My wife and I recently purchased a resale home in Latitude Margaritaville, Hilton Headed. The whole experience from beginning, to our new beginning, was exceptional. Our realtor and neighbor, Brenda Kline was professional, informative, respectful, responsive and fun. She truly made the process and transition an easy one. Thank you Brenda. Living in paradise began with you.
Sarah and JonSpring Island Buyers
It was serendipity that brought us together with Marisa as we began our exploration of the Lowcountry and Bluffton area, in general. And it all blossomed from there.
Marisa is fun and friendly, which make long days of touring communities and houses a whole lot more enjoyable. And she is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the process. We truly enjoyed her approach of introducing us first to the communities and helping us narrow down the list of choices to a much more manageable subset. She took the time to get to know us and try to understand how we described our likes and wants, so she could help us to first identify the community that is right for us. And she explained why this is an important step in the process. Because we were coming in from out of town, she did a very nice job of being our “boots on the ground“.
Marisa is also very professional and helped us through the entire home buying process. As others have noted, her service and care extended beyond signing the contract, as she helped us with utilities, with ideas about where to purchase furniture, etc. We are pleased to call Marisa a friend, now, and highly recommend her.

“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.“

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.

Drew is a true seasoned professional. He works tirelessly to make sure your property is getting maximum exposure. Our experience with Drew and Kim was a pleasure and as one of the top agents in Hilton Head Island and surrounding area, you can’t go wrong.

Debbie and Daniel Cort are amazing! They are very helpful and walk through the whole process with you. Very responsive and there are no bad questions. I was very impressed with their knowledge of the market and their drive to find exactly what you are looking for. When it came time to make an offer they were right on top of everything and kept us in the loop of all the changes made by the sellers. I highly recommend them as they are very professional and friendly and will find you the home you are looking for.

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. He will communicate often to explain market conditions and will guide you to make decisions on price and best steps to get your property sold as fast as possible.
