If you are looking for an incredible real estate agent, look no further than Christine Reid. From day one, her deep industry knowledge and guidance gave us complete confidence in every decision we made. Beyond being a true professional, she is wonderfully easy to work with— approachable, organized and genuinely focused on our best interests. We are so grateful for her help and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!!

Duke and Linda brought this property to us to buy and when it was time to sell they took great care of us from start to finish. Duke went above and beyond handling this for us and we couldn’t be happier. Outstanding service before during and after the sale. Simply the best!

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.

Michael and Michelle were an amazing team to work with. Their knowledge of the local market combined with their diverse skill sets were just the right combination that I needed to sell my unique property. They were patient and professional as I wavered on decisions and confidently guided me through how to respond to each of the multiple offers I received. They were always there to perform helpful tasks while I was out of town and Michael even revived a riding lawnmower that died in the middle of the yard before an open house! I highly recommend Michael and Michelle to sell or buy your next home. They will get the job done for you!

"Matt and Kara [Raehn] are great! They recently planned a day with us to show us the area and multiple properties and neighborhoods. It was obvious that they listened to what was important to us, and scheduled a great day. We learned a lot from them. Their follow up has been impeccable and on point. It is great to work with true professionals."

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!

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 of 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.

Christina Forbis was great to work with on the sale of our house in Port Royal Plantation. Her grasp of the real estate market on Hilton Head Island allowed us to quickly get our property under contract above asking price. Being a full service broker, Christina was instrumental in helping us from showings to our close date. We would highly recommend Christina.

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.

"If not for Diana Sroufe, our home search would not have ended in Belfair.  Finding a home in a limited availability market, dealing with a long distance sale and move from Colorado, and the added pressure of the COVID hysteria proved almost too much for these new South Carolina residents. However we found “superwoman” Diana and she proved to be an indispensable resource for us. Even though she represented the seller, Diana became our go-to person to navigate the buying process in this state.  She could answer any question that we had — whether about Belfair, the Bluffton community, need for flood insurance, etc.  She was instrumental in ensuring the inspection items of concern were resolved in a timely manner to our satisfaction.  She answered many a late night call as we came to closing.  And she is a special ambassador for the Belfair community, going out of her way to introduce us to new friends and neighbors.  Not only was she a tremendous business asset during our transition, she has become a dear and trusted friend"

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!

“Mary Williams spent countless hours dedicated to our listing. Her efforts before the home was listed, during the showing period, and especially after negotiating the contract through to the final closing proved invaluable given our rushed move. Mary is a true professional—unmatched in our 19th home sale over 59 years. Thank you, Mary Williams and Charter One Realty.”

Debbie and Daniel Cort are hard-working and dedicated to the community in and around the Hilton Head area. They are diligent in selling and finding homes for their customers. I contacted them to sell my home, hoping to put it on the market in November, and it was sold by the end of November. I was hesitant because it was a lifestyle change I was not sure about, but I put my trust in Debbie and Daniel, and they advised me through each step of the process. They answered every call and question that I had. Debbie and Daniel are great listeners, and they made suggestions that I followed, which made the process less stressful. Debbie and Daniel are kind and patient, and they make selling and buying homes a positive experience.

Tom was an amazing agent to work with in purchasing our first home. He had all the resources that we needed and helped us step by step with the purchase. He was able to understand and evaluate the needs of our family and made sure to show us houses that would work for us. I will work with Tom again in a heartbeat and will recommend him with out hesitation.

Charter One Realty, Marisa Cain, my agent and Mary Williams the selling agent were amazing to work with. The communication between agents and then to me was on point and done in a timely manner. I was located in VA so the majority of my experience was done long distance. Everything was handled efficiently through settlement and I couldn’t be happier. I wholeheartedly recommend using Charter One Realty, you won’t regret your decision.

We love hearing from our clients! Check out what this seller in Belfair had to say about his experience with Scott Collins. I highly recommend Scott Collins and consider him to be the most professional real estate person I have ever dealt with. Over the years we have sold seven houses, dealt with as many real estate agents, but the experience with Scott was the best ever. Selling a home is always a stressful experience but Scott made it much less of one. He kept in contact with us from the very beginning, took the time to explain the market conditions, the current trend of buyers in our price range, the marketing strengths of his company and the strategies that would be used to interest and attract buyers. He was always available to answer questions and made us feel that we were his most important clients. Our house sold quickly thanks to Scott but an event that occurred just before closing on the sale of our home speaks volumes about his professionalism and caring nature. Due to some issues with our moving company, some items were left behind in the garage that needed to be disposed of but we had already left the area. Frantic, I called Scott the day before closing and explained the situation. Scott said not to worry about it. Two hours later the issue was resolved. Need I say more about why I recommend Scott.

Alec Smith has been our Realtor in two very successful real estate transactions in the past year, the sale of a spec house and a personal residence. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to navigate thru the demanding sales process are unmatched, and it has been a pleasure working with him.

“The formula for Sabrina's success is based on three simple tenets: honesty, persistence and an unparalleled commitment to us. This was not our first rodeo in searching to make a change, and we benefited from Sabrina's proven sales record, smart negotiating skills and 30 years of real estate experience! From the initial phone call to the day of closing and beyond, Sabrina made the transaction easy, understandable, and stress-free. Sabrina gave us an unrivaled level of service, with frequent updates and regular communication to ensure that you'll always feel updated on the process. There is no doubt that I would let Sabrina help us find or sell our next home!”

After renting a winter getaway home in the low country for six years, we decided to take the plunge and purchase a vacation home.  We started our search on the internet, and the very first listing we liked happened to be listed by Rich Reed with Charter One Realty.  This introduction led to us signing on with Rich to guide our search, and was a stroke of good fortune, for Rich is one of the leading brokers in the entire region and knows the markets first-hand.  This in-depth knowledge, coupled with his extensive experience in putting deals together, served us well, as the property we kept coming back to presented us with some challenges.  It was on a beautiful lot with scenic views and had appealing architecture, but it suffered from deferred maintenance and outdated interior finishes which we needed to reflect in our offer.  Rich was particularly helpful with his many local contacts who helped us with various cost estimates, and he also kept our negotiations on track with the seller.  His deal-making expertise proved invaluable as we came to know more about the property’s needs than the seller, which led to some protracted negotiations.  In the end Rich’s patience, persistence, and skill got us over the goal line.  As we worked with Rich it became evident that he understood where we were coming from, and what was most important to us, and he focused on our priorities to get the deal done.  We highly recommend Rich Reed for any low country real estate requirements.
