Daniel and Debbie are an amazing real estate team. Daniel quickly accessed our needs and identified a number of properties that met our investment criteria. In addition, his contacts enabled us to do a quick renovation and secure a great property manager that to date have been extremely beneficial. Debbie was extremely helpful in a number of logistical areas including helping dealing with attorneys and out of state tax issues related to the property. She provided the necessary push when things started to get bogged down. We would highly recommend the Cort Team for anyone’s real estate needs in the Hilton Head area. By far the best real estate experience we have ever had.

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.

Michelle helped us sell our 1 bedroom condo on Hilton Head and was a joy to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, tenacious and always professional. She guided us through every step of the process even anticipating our questions and needs. She followed through on every aspect of closing through an unexpected three day delay. We were not a large sale by Hilton Head standards, but we never felt like we were anything but a top priority for her. We would not hesitate for an instant to use Michelle again or to recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate professional in the Lowcountry.

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.

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!

The BEST agents we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with were Gary & Shelley Elliott with Charter One Realty. They made the whole process from start to finish a pleasurable and easy experience. Their understanding of the market was invaluable, and they had our house sold in under a week. Their attention to detail was impressive when first listing our home. I was blown away with all the advertising and marketing that went out the day after we decided to sell our home. I have never met a realtor that helped you with the packing, the organizing, the cleaning, the moving of your home. Who does that? What an incredible team they are. They go above and beyond to help you in every way possible. Thank you, Gary and Shelley, for your amazing work and helping make our move much less stressful. You guys are the best and we will always sing your praises.

Chip helped us sell our home and we could not recommend him highly enough. Clearly knows the local market and all the relevant players which was a huge advantage for us. And he always went above and beyond helping us as out of town owners -- even something as menial as moving furniture in/out of storage he was more than willing to help us with himself. We also had a great experience with the rest of the team getting the marketing materials prepared and published in really short order. Give Chip a call if you need help buying or selling a home!

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!

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!

Scott Collins was ideal to work with. He took the information we gave him and blended it with his own experience and knowledge to lead us to our dream home in a single day! Follow up was seamless. He dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s. He was there as a stand-in for us as necessary when we returned home 3,000 miles away. We would certainly recommend or use or Scott again in a heartbeat!

Gary and Shelley make for an impeccable team. They compliment each other well and are fierce advocates for us as the sellers. They never missed anything and were always there to double-check and follow up and make sure that things went smoothly. We had a difficult buyer, and I always knew that they were on our side and ready to jump in to make this work. They are an absolutely fantastic choice for realtors.

“Sabrina did an outstanding job throughout the process. She was extremely responsive and proactive in locating listings that we would be interested in based upon our discussions with her. She also assisted in the negotiation process to help us get the best deal in light of the appraisal on the property we were buying. I would highly recommend her, especially for non-Hilton Head residents like ourselves.”

My husband and I are thankful to have found Diana Sroufe as our realtor.  We are new to South Carolina and first time buyers in a golf community.  Diana was a wealth of information in helping us find both a fitting community for our desires and a perfect home. She was available to answer our many questions and a pleasure to work with.  We are so happy!

We worked with Drew on the sale of 8 Larium and could not be happier with Drew and Kim’s market knowledge, follow-through, and negotiation on behalf of us as a seller. Drew stayed in constant contact with each of us throughout the process, which was greatly appreciated. Their team struck a balance on necessary repairs and what was needed to position the house to sell. We would recommend Drew and his team to anyone looking for a realtor that has his seller’s best interest at the fore. Thank you, Drew and Kim!

Bud and I were impressed with Shelley and Gary from the first time we met. Their warm and winning personalities along with their marketing program was very impressive. They were also recommended by our neighbor. Once we signed on with them, professional photos of our home were taken and presented to us. There was constant communication from them by email, phone, and texts. We had moved up north and they arranged every service, hired the best workers and best of all they sold our home in less than Five Days!

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.

Krista was incredible. She worked with us for over a year to find the perfect home in the Bluffton area. Hard working, friendly, and knowledgeable, you will not be disappointed. She will work diligently to find you the right house but give you enough space to decide what is right for you or your family. We communicated constantly throughout the process and she was responsive at almost any hour in the day! Krista will find your dream home! We are happy to call her our friend and our realtor. We provide our highest recommendation!

Thanks to both Shelley and Gary for making this the easiest and fastest sale we have ever experienced! We are so happy that we decided to go with Team Elliott of Charter One Realty. Thank you for also referring us to Smith Law firm, for they were fantastic in every way. My husband (also a Realtor) and I were very impressed with how often they communicated via their portal and text messages. We will definitely connect with you the next time we are in Hilton Head!

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.

“Working with Sabrina Zeoli as my realtor for selling my Hilton Head property was a gift. From the beginning, she diligently prioritized my needs and timeline, fully understanding the urgency and unique circumstances of the transaction. Because I was not physically present in the market, Sabrina stepped in seamlessly to represent me, managing every detail with professionalism, care, and integrity. She is incredibly strategic in her approach, always focused on maximizing the opportunity for a successful sale. Whether it was pricing, timing, or negotiations, she made sure every decision was in my best interest. What stood out most was her communication. Sabrina is consistent, thorough, and always one step ahead. She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a realtor who is not only knowledgeable and strategic but also truly committed to your success, Sabrina is the one you want in your corner.”

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.
