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.

Drew was recommended by friends of ours who recently purchased a home in Indigo Run, we were very happy to work with Drew and Kim. The whole process couldn't have gone smoother. I had LOTS of questions during the process that Drew and Kim did a great job of answering in a very timely manner. Drew knows the Island very well; I would absolutely recommend if you are buying or selling.

David was a gift to work with in relocating to the Lowcountry. He was amazingly patient in helping us find the right house for our family, and his team did an incredible job ensuring that getting to the closing table was smooth sailing. More than a wealth of information on all things real estate, David is high character and non-anxious agent is more concerned about helping you find the right property than in closing a deal. I could not recommend David more highly.

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!

Being a first time home buyer can be scary, add in a new build and it’s even scarier! Michelle was incredible. She guided us through every step of the process and explained everything so simply. Honestly, I don’t know if I would have been able to do this without her spot on direction and guidance. She is amazing at what she does and makes the whole process run so smooth. She has become a friend who I appreciate so much! Even after closing she is making sure everything is taken care of and goes above and beyond! I would recommend her to anyone going through a new home purchase a million times! She is truly the best!

“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.”

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!

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.

In my experience, agents representing the home seller often have to wear many hats but most of all have to be connected to the market – Drew Butler is certainly connected to Indigo Run. We hired Drew, and he earned every cent of his commission – and then some.  I was selling my mother’s house long distance on her behalf.  It had a couple of challenges that required many showings to get a handful of offers.  The first contract fell through.  My mother unexpectedly passed away after the second contract was signed, but before the closing, leaving the deal in limbo.  Drew proactively put me in touch with an excellent estate attorney to help keep the transaction on track, and a versatile handyman to make necessary repairs.  He arranged for the removal of furniture that no one would take.  He was in constant communication – all the while displaying a highly polished personality and incessant wit.  The end result was a house that sold within the prescribed timeframe, for more than the asking price.  Drew is a person worth getting to know – even if one does not need a really, really good real estate agent.”

Chip was outstanding in every way! He is personable and well prepared. His robust analytics helped us settle on an appropriate pricing strategy that netted a full price offer in just five days! He has a full array of repairman, painters and housecleaners who worked efficiently to get the home into pristine condition. Moreover, since we had to be out of town on move-out day, he helped oversee the move. We were blown away by his professionalism and personal kindness. It was an exceptional experience at every level.

I highly recommend Jack Menzie of Charter One Realty based on our experience selling our family home in Rose Hill Plantation. From our initial consultation through closing, Jack demonstrated exceptional market knowledge, professionalism, and dedication. He provided valuable guidance on preparing and marketing the home, communicated clearly throughout the process, and handled negotiations with skill and confidence. Jack was especially patient and attentive to my parents’ specific needs, always taking the time to address questions and requests with care. His proactive approach, problem-solving skills, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire selling process smooth and as stress-free as possible. I am extremely grateful for his hard work and would confidently recommend Jack to anyone considering selling their home.

“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 have known Les Jones of Charter One Realty for years. He has assisted me with our real estate needs a number of times. He is very professional, experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and, perhaps most important, patient. I recommend him highly.

If you're looking for a realtor to sell your home in Sun City, you'll quickly discover there are countless agents to choose from. So why did I choose the Elliott Team? My journey began with a neighbor's recommendation. She sold her home with the Elliott Team and couldn't say enough about their professionalism, service, and results. After working with them myself, I can confidently say they exceeded every expectation I had. From the first meeting, Shelley, Gary, and Allison impressed me with their knowledge, organization, and genuine commitment to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. They clearly explained every step of the selling process, outlined what to expect, and developed a thoughtful strategy to position my home for success. There were no surprises—just excellent communication and a clear plan from start to finish. What stood out most was the way they treated me. Their friendly, family-oriented approach made me feel like I was their only client. Every phone call, email, text, or question was answered promptly, and their teamwork was seamless. We worked together as partners throughout the entire process, with everyone contributing to a successful sale. Now that my house is sold, I really do miss them. Their expertise proved invaluable every step of the way. They guided me on the ideal time to list, recommended the right asking price, suggested staging and improvements that made my home shine in photographs and in showings, expertly navigated the offer negotiations and inspection credit. Their understanding of the Sun City market gave me complete confidence, and the results spoke for themselves—my home sold in ten days after it was listed on the MLS. One piece of advice from the team stayed with me throughout the experience: "It's all about price and presentation." The Elliott Team knew exactly how to maximize both, and their guidance made all the difference. Any realtor can say it’s price and presentation, not every realtor can do it. Shelley and Gary definitely know how. With the Elliott Team, however, their service didn’t end with listing and showing the house. They have an outstanding network of trusted vendors for every need. Whether it was recommending an auction vendor for furniture, coordinating donations with free pickup, or recommending service providers to satisfy inspection items; every referral was prompt, professional, and high quality. It was obvious to me the vendors valued their relationship with the Elliott Team and were committed to providing exceptional service. The Elliott Team made selling my home a smooth, organized, and remarkably stress-free experience. Their market knowledge, communication, integrity, and genuine care for their clients are seen and felt. If you're looking for a real estate team that will work tirelessly on your behalf and deliver outstanding results, you don’t need to look further than Shelley and Gary Elliott.

We had an outstanding experience working with Shelley and Gary Elliott of the The Elliott Team as our realtors. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping us every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, always taking the time to answer our questions. We are so grateful for all their hard work and highly recommend Shelley and Gary Elliott to anyone looking for excellent real estate agents. They went above and beyond for us, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.

It is with great pleasure I am writing this. For the purchase of our 2nd home we dealt with Ryan Bassett from your company. We could not have been treated better if he were a family member!! Ryan made this deal work for us; without him I am sure it wouldn't have happened and we have many family members we are referring to Ryan!

"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."

I became acquainted with Christina Forbis at Charter One through her marketing of listings in my neighborhood. After a phone call and meeting with Christina to discuss my wants and needs I was favorably impressed and knew I wanted to be working with her.  All her suggestions to market my listing were made to put my home in the best possible light. While I may have sputtered to myself at times there is no doubt she is the expert!  I felt my interests were her priority. She was available, always a source of support and expertise. I would highly recommend Christina Forbis as a professional realtor who will look out for your best interests.

Multiple friends recommended that we contact Christina Forbis to sell our home on Hilton Head Island, and we are so glad that they did. Christina provided us with valuable advice on the pricing of our home, because she knows the market so well. She negotiated to sell our home for more than we expected. She sold the house the first day that it was on the market. She added clauses to the standard contract that benefited us greatly.  This is the first time that we have sold a home (even though we are in our seventies) and she held our hands every step of the way.  She is truly a professional full service broker.  Plus, she is a fine person.  Christina has our highest recommendation.

Marvin did a wonderful job assisting us with the sell and purchase of our homes. As one who isn't very knowledgeable about everything that it takes to navigate the process of selling and buying a home, he patiently walked with us through the entire journey. He gave us advice on what we should do to get our house staged and ready to sell and also helped a lot in the negotiating process to help us get to a comfortable price for the purchase of our new home. Marvin is a man of true honesty and integrity as a real estate agent, which is refreshing in the culture in which we live. I can't recommend him highly enough!

We contacted Christina Forbis because we had heard from friends that she was the best on the Island, that turned out to be completely accurate. She responded immediately and was very accessible. She used the first day to show us areas that we were interested in. By the second day she hit the nail on the head. We found a property in the Port Royal Plantation that was perfect, she got us the home of our dreams!  That was only the beginning of all of the work she did for us. She coordinated every step after that and made the transition easy.  We can't say enough great things about Christina’s professionalism. We also feel like we made a new friend. She is super easy to talk to, we had a lot of laughs and now we are looking forward to being her neighbor in beautiful Port Royal.
