We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with in both selling our house and closing on a new, downsized home. Incredibly responsive and organized from day 1 - we truly felt like they were on our team, working hand in hand with us to find the best overall situation for our family. We would definitely work with the Corts again, and we would recommend them to anyone searching for a home or selling a home in the Bluffton area.

Our experience with Christina Forbis in purchasing a house on Hilton Head Island couldn’t have been better! Her ability to dial in a house for our needs, and point us in the right direction was fantastic. During the process of closing on the house, her communication was outstanding in solving any problems. After we purchased the house, her help and guidance in selecting the right contractors for our remodel needs was invaluable. It certainly helps to have a person who is dialed in on Hilton Head Island!

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.

“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.”

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.
Madison LeekleyBuyer and Seller - 2026
We had the pleasure of working with Matt and Kara on both the sale of our home and purchase of our new home. During every stage of the process they were attentive, responsive and kept an open line of communication to all parties involved. Their knowledge and communication style made this a seamless experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!

"Gary and Shelley have been a pleasure to work with both selling and buying a home. They are accessible day and night and make you feel like you are their first priority. There is no obstacle they can’t help you work through. Highly recommended!!!"
Sean R. Son of Seller - 19 Pond Drive - April 2024
Drew is the BEST! I was in a time crunch trying to clear out my mother's home before closing and Drew rolled up his sleeves and together, we got it done! Can you honestly say your agent would do that for you without being asked or guilted into helping? Not Drew. He's just that kind of guy. Drew's willing to do what he can to make your experience outstanding.

Terri F.Hilton Head Island
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.

Christina did a wonderful, professional job selling my mother's house. The whole process, from signing her listing contract to the closing at the attorney's office, was a breeze...because she knows what she's doing. She convinced me she would get more money for the sale of the house than I could trying to sell it on my own...and she did! I was going to be away for the summer and knew I could trust her to take care of anything that might come up. She took time to do the extra things too...the house was empty, so she did house checks to make sure everything was OK. She even arranged to have a fallen large tree branch removed from the property. I have no hesitation in saying you won't be disappointed with her commitment to selling your house.
Percy TuckerBluffton
My wife and I made the decision to move across the country from Arizona to Bluffton I the Spring of 2019. Having a child still in high school made the window for this move quite small. Diana Sroufe made this transition possible and provided us exactly what we needed. We flew into town to look at homes on Easter weekend and Diana was awesome! Not only did she show us what we wanted to see....even though she knew we would not pursue, but gave us insight and ideas as we viewed our first few homes together. Diana listened and immediately came up with additional homes to view based on our criteria.
Can we look at that one again? I am sure this routine can be annoying, but Diana was there to show us listings....and even go back more than a few times.
When we were ready, Diana took charge and our offer was submitted and accepted prior to our arrival in town for the second round of viewings. Diana quickly took action and even had the home inspected while we were in town. As we left, Diana had a complete list of preferred vendors for all of the things we needed and they were all top-notch.
Working with Diana was the best decision and a major reason this move was stress-free."

Sara was amazing - top notch, very professional and handled our sale with perfection. This was especially impressive given the challenging market we are in. She used her network effectively and was able to structure a creative deal that not only got us 5 offers in 3 days, but helped us land on the best one for our circumstances. - Highly recommended.

Client of Randy FixBluffton
Randy Fix was incredible to work with on the purchase of my new home in Bluffton. When I started looking at homes, Randy was a patient and really listened to the needs and aspects that I wanted in my new home. He was able to provide great options and I was able to select a perfect home that checked every box. Besides being an all around super person, Randy is extremely knowledgeable about the area and was able to provide excellent guidance during the process. From the very first day that we met to the day I closed, Randy was always there to support and help me with my home purchase. He acts with great integrity which was very important to me and it was clear that he is respected in the community. Randy has an easy going personality but don't be fooled, he gets the job done efficiently, quickly and perfectly. If I ever need help with real estate in the area, I will use him again and recommend him to anyone who needs help. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because he deserves them!
Nan & BillThe Crescent, Sellers
“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.”
Julie BergSea Pines Buyer
"Matt & Kara were fantastic to work with from the day we met virtually to discuss our needs and wants in purchasing a vacation home. Southern hospitality at its finest! They listened well and were intuitive in picking up on what was really important to us even if we didn't explicitly communicate it. They were responsive to our questions and patient with our decision-making process. And yes, they found us the perfect fit! We were impressed with how smooth the purchasing process was which made us feel even more confident that we made the right choice -- with the home and Matt & Kara as our agents. We appreciate the personal connection we made and now beyond the real estate transaction, consider them friends. We are grateful for their expertise in making our dream a reality!"
Dianna Sheets
Beth Doudoukjian is the ultimate professional with the expertise and knowledge to ensure her clients are getting the best possible real estate service. Her personality and demeanor put us at ease and provided us with a pleasurable experience in the purchase of our most recent property.
My husband and I had the privilege of engaging Beth to help us find a “fixer-upper” on the Island last year. Not only did she scour the market to find the perfect (most imperfect) property in our price range, she and her team were able to negotiate a great price with a quick closing date. Beth knows the area very well, having lived in Hilton Head for 20 plus years. It is clear that Beth studies the market to ensure she is up to date with and familiar with this dynamic real estate market.
We are so confident in her ability and expertise, that she will be listing our Villa next year and is currently searching for additional property for us to purchase.
SellerRose Hill
Marvin sold our home in Rose Hill and it was an awesome experience. He's extremely knowledgeable and professional, taking the time to explain every aspect of selling our home so we were comfortable with the experience. He kept in constant contact with us, taking care of all the details to ensure the sale went smoothly. After selling our home, Marvin helped us sell my mother's house in Sun City. My mother couldn't have been happier with Marvin and how he took care of all the details. If you're looking for a Realtor, look no further than Marvin Hall. He'll do an awesome job for you.
Dave & SharonSun City Sellers
As my wife and I celebrated our 61st anniversary last week, we also celebrated the sale of our Bluffton-Hilton Head area home! In our 61 years together, this was only the 2nd home we have ever sold. The vast experience and extensive knowledge of the Sun City area, combined with the utmost care for our entire process from Shelley, Gary and Allison, resulted in a seamless transaction. Their team took care of our sale from the pre-listing/listing, the staging, the competitive price point, the high quality marketing tools/brochure, and the special attention to every last detail while we were 800 miles away! Our home pended in the first week and closed with ease. We were so fortunate to have been paired with The Elliott Team through our daughter's (realtor in Indiana) Leading RE Referral Department. We not only found remarkable realtors, we found some very special "new friends". They are truly worthy of a 10 star rating... simply the best!
Melissa
I had a great experience with Tom. Back in June I put my house on the market and I needed to find my forever home, but due to the pandemic I was very nervous. Until I meet Tom he insured me that he will be there for me and my family every step of the way and that’s what he did. He went above and beyond for us. He made our selling and buying experience a great one and we are so happy that we had Tom represent us. If you want someone to find you the forever home or helping you sell your home call Tom you will not be disappointed.
Kurt RoessnerHilton Head Island
A pleasure to deal with. Went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Was always available and prepared. Would definitely use Drew again.
John & Suzanne PaullSellers
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.

The best relationships are based on trust and excellent communication skills. Alec [Smith] is an absolute professional. The communication level was often but not overwhelming and was supported with good data to help make educated decisions in a rapidly changing market.
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.
Richard and Judy CedronePalmetto Bluff
It is rare in today’s world that we have the privilege of working with a realtor with as much honesty and integrity as Keene. We worked with Keene to find the perfect building lot on Palmetto Bluff and he exceeded our expectations. Very informative, no pressure and excellent service.
Mark WilliamsHilton Head Island
There are a lot of realtors on Hilton Head Island that do not work very hard. This is not the case with Herman & Davis Properties! They are aggressive in the marketplace and do an excellent job of customer relations and follow-though, all with a high degree of integrity and accountability. Highly recommended
Satisfied Client
If real estate is all about location, location, location, James Wedgeworth takes it to another level: connections, connections, connections. Add common sense and a 24/7 drive to get deals and get ‘em done—experience counts and you’d be lucky to have him and his wonderful associate Mary Stuedemann in your corner. Our home got a lot of views and James was very skillful in negotiating a great purchase offer for us. Unfortunately the house needed new pipes which caused delays and there were complications about the survey. Each of these could have derailed the deal but James used great tact and called upon his career’s worth of contacts to move the two big issues forward. He kept us informed every step of the way. We’re convinced a less experienced and less connected agent would not have held it together to closing.
“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 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.”
