Love the Corts! Such good contacts and such patience. They kept us informed and involved in every step. Could not have found a place in Hilton Head without them. Icing on the cake was the place was gorgeous and at a great price. Almost impossible to get that in the present times. Hire Them!! Did I say Love the Corts!
Drew Butler is not only one of the best realtors I have encountered, but also one of the most honest, trustworthy, and hardworking people I’ve had the privilege to associate with.
We started working with Drew over 3 years before our purchase. He took the time to meet with us, understand our needs, and present us with various opportunities throughout that time frame. In the process, we shifted gears more than once before we ultimately decided on what type of purchase we were looking for. Throughout the process he was both understanding and patient and never gave up working hard to find the right match. We found his understanding of the Hilton Head market to be vast – with a special knowledge of the Indigo Run community. He worked tirelessly, even on Christmas Day, to help us with the purchase. He even went above and beyond after the close to ensure all small details were taken care of for us, which was especially important since we were remote throughout the closing and post close process. His dedication to helping his clients is unmatched in this field.
Should you be buying or selling, we highly recommend Drew to ensure your experience goes beyond expectations.
"Working with Sabrina was an absolute dream! We were looking for a condo on Hilton Head, and her local expertise was unmatched. She knows the island inside and out, and after asking us just a few thoughtful questions, she was able to narrow down our showings to condos she knew we’d fall in love with. Sabrina’s knowledge of the neighborhoods and her understanding of exactly what type of property we wanted made the process so easy and enjoyable. On top of that, she negotiated an unbelievable offer for us and truly went above and beyond to make everything seamless. She took charge, kept us informed every step of the way, and made the whole experience stress-free. If you’re looking for a realtor on Hilton Head who combines local expertise, professionalism, and a personal touch, Sabrina is the one you want in your corner!"
Sanders MacDonald was great! He helped us both buy and sell our homes. He understood what our wants were in finding a house. Went beyond the norm to find out information about houses we were interested in when it was not available in the seller’s disclosure. Sanders followed up consistently through buying and selling process (i.e. lawyers, realtors, inspectors, etc.) to insure no issues. Lastly, Sanders was very personable, easy going and upfront about a house’s pluses and minuses (i.e. artificial stucco vs stucco integrity). To date we have bought and sold 13 houses over the last 40 years. Sanders has been by far the best Realtor we have worked with both on the buy and sell side. We would seek out and work with him again without hesitation.
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.
We had an extraordinary experience buying our Bluffton house through Marisa Cain with Charter One. She was diligent, responsive, flexible, competent, and always courteous. She was also incredibly even-keeled, helping guide us and calm us through the anxiety-producing process of buying a house in an unknown area. We were living in Northern Virginia, had just retired, and wanted to move somewhere ‘down south.’ Bluffton was one of several areas we wanted to look at during our 'southern tour.' We essentially cold-called Marisa and struck lucky. With little notice, she spent over 2 full days with us, educating us about and driving us through the various developments. She gave advice about the neighborhoods, health care, restaurants, etc. She had a good sense of the area and of the pros/cons of each development and which might best meet what we were looking for (which we weren't very clear about). When we returned to Virginia, she set up a continuing search to send us links to houses that fit our criteria until one jumped out to us. We quickly drove down and fell in love with it. She expertly guided us through the competitive buying process and was very patient with our many questions and requests. She attended inspections on our behalf in our absence. When she left on an extended vacation that coincided with our closing date, she left us in excellent hands with Diana Sroufe, the head of the office, who quickly picked up where Marisa left off, providing continuity and helping us through a last minute panic attack about a tax issue we misunderstood. Even while Marisa was gone, she was on top of everything, responding from Italy during her vacation. And after the sale, both Marisa and Diana have continued to provide us with resources, contacts, and useful information to help us get settled. They have made us feel like family rather than just another sale. We give them our highest, unqualified recommendation.
Carolyn Welch is an amazing real estate broker. She is incredibly knowledgeable and equally as responsive. She also showed great patience and was a great resource for finding an attorney, lender and all things related to a real estate purchase. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase property in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area.
Monica has helped us with two real estate transactions and we consider her the best on the island. She’s efficient, honest, never pushy, and fun to work with.
Michelle Elliott is exactly who you can trust to represent your needs and get your home sold. Michelle was timely and professional and backed by the entire A+ Charter One Realty team. All around a great experience!
(D)ominant in his knowledge of selling real estate in the ever-changing market. (R)eliable and relatable to his clients and willing to do the necessary market research to make things happen. (E)nthusiast about the opportunity to work closely with his clients. (W)isdom of just how important communication is to his clients. Drew's steady stream of support was always reassuring to us.
(B)rutally honest about his client's expectations. (U)nderstanding the pro's and con's of the selling process and the correct timing of selling. (T)rustworthy and thoughtful of all those involved. (L)oves his job, and it shows! Drew sets the gold standard that all real estate people should be measured by. (E)ager to stay on top of issues and communicates well with all those involved. (R)eminder of how having an encouraging attitude Drew brings out the best in people.
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.
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.
I have been involved in real estate transactions for over 40 years and Christina was one of the most professional, attentive, and transparent agents I have ever met. Her credibility is high based on her personal and professional style - not only answering questions and solving problems, but anticipating them as well. In our scenario, Christina navigated dual agency with style and grace which will long be remembered. I highly recommend Christina to anyone seeking assistance in the real estate arena. If/when we sell, Christina Forbis will be one of the first calls I make.
Mark Rushton was instrumental in helping us find the perfect land and views for our future 2nd retirement home! He was very professional and a pleasure to work with on our quest!
"Alec was a great resource for us, providing insights and advice that helped us make some important real estate decisions. When we decided to sell our property on St. Helena Island, Alec was extremely supportive through the entire process. If you’re seeking a knowledgeable and responsive professional, definitely consider Alec."
We recently sold a property and had the pleasure of working with Sabrina. She is extremely knowledgeable in the process and was quite helpful in all aspects of our transaction. She made herself available to us, whenever we needed. She is energetic and enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services and we look forward to working with her in the future. We look forward to working with her again in the future.
Having lived on the island for many years, we have heard many of our neighbors say “if you want the best, you hire Christina”. We realized how true this was when we decided to list our home. Christina was exceptional in managing the entire experience - starting with 4 offers in the first two weeks of listing and managing the entire process to closing. Christina goes above and beyond in utilizing her entire personal and professional network to make the selling experience successful - she is truly an exceptional agent, second to none. We highly recommend Christina to anybody considering buying or selling a home on the island!
As an out-of-town seller, I had a wonderful experience selling my villa with Team Elliott! Shelley provided experienced advice and guidance throughout the entire process, and we sold for more than we had even hoped for! We received a FULL PRICE offer within 48 hrs. and closed 30 days later. Team Elliott is my "go-to" team for all future Hilton Head Island real estate transactions! I will refer them to all my friends and family!
Based on recommendations from several friends as well as personal knowledge, we chose Christina Forbis as our realtor. She worked with us throughout every aspect of the sale of our home. Christina proved to be the ultimate professional and the best in the business. Her intimate knowledge of the Port Royal marketplace combined with her attention to every detail and her willingness to “go the extra mile”, led to a successful sale from listing through closing within 30 days. There is no doubt in our minds that Christina is the realtor you want to be with in the sale of your home. She is simply beyond compare!
Richard helped us purchase a home in Bluffton, and we couldn't be happier! He goes above and beyond for his clients, is a long-time Hilton Head resident, and has a great feel for the market. Experienced, patient, honest, straightforward, and trustworthy. Because of his local knowledge, he also knows exactly who to go to for loans, insurance, attorneys, inspections, repairmen, landscapers, contractors...you name it, he has an answer. 100%, 10/10, 5 Stars, whatever the scoring metric, he is one of the best.
“Paul successfully marketed and sold two homes for us on Long Island at our asking prices. He is knowledgeable, gave us great advice, and was so easy to work with, not to mention having a great sense of humor! Additionally, he has an extensive knowledge of construction and was able to guide us on needed repairs. I highly recommend him as a sales professional.”
When moving to Beaufort and deciding we wanted to buy instead of continuing to rent, we met Alec. Alec helped us buy our first home and was the best realtor anybody could ask for. It was a home we wanted to keep forever, but upon receiving a job offer on the other side of the country we turned to him once more to help us sell our home. Once again, Alec exceeded our expectations and helped us sell our home and get the best deal possible. He works around the clock and is always available anytime you need him during the process. His knowledge of the local area and of the home buying/selling process is unparalleled. I honestly cannot imagine using a different realtor because Alec made both buying and selling our home as stress free as possible so that we could focus on other aspects of our move and life. I highly recommend you get in contact with Alec to buy or sell your home. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Thanks again for everything Alec!
Hannah made our process as first time homeowners so simple. She was always available for questions, very attentive and professional. Thank you Hannah for going above and beyond to help us find our perfect home!
“Sabrina was an amazing realtor. She went above and beyond in everything she did to help make my buying experience as pleasant as possible. Sabrina is very knowledgeable of the Hilton Head market and this is what I needed since I was purchasing a condo from out of town. Sabrina cares about her clients and it shows.”
“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.”
“Sabrina was by far the best realtor we have ever used. She is the ultimate professional when it comes to real estate. Sabrina worked with us for several months to find the right house and worked with us through the entire process. She never let a day go by without assisting with inspectors, contractors etc. Highly recommend Sabrina to both sell and purchase a property. You won't find a better realtor!!!! Outstanding!!”
Alec did an outstanding job assisting with the purchase of a vacant lot on Lady’s Island. It is the ideal location for me to look at developing in the future. Alec was patient with listening to my wants and desires for the lot and took the time to review everything about the lot with me. His negotiating skills helped to secure the lot for the price I was willing to pay. Alec and his family will forever be considered friends and I know I will be working with Alec again in the future.
We have known Diana for many years and have found her to be extremely engaged as a realtor on a number of fronts. Her low keyed, engaging manner, allows her to be herself, and work in the best interest of her clients.One of the greatest assets Diana has is her ability to completely understand the needs of both the sellers whom she represents, and the buyers she meets, to grasp the salient aspects of what it may take to consummate a sale. In so doing, she works diligently on behalf of the seller to deliver on the faith that they have placed in her to represent them, but also makes every effort with a buyer to understand their needs and what needs to be done to finalize a deal.As is often the case in intricate Real Estate transactions, the “devil is in the details”. Diana, is very focused and detail oriented, which allows her to anticipate potential “roadblocks to a sale” and develop the means early on in the “sales process”, to remove any potential obstacles to a successful sale.In our most recent experience with Diana, she kept us informed with “daily updates” and made a number of recommendations relative to how we might enhance our ability to insure a successful sale. Following her recommendations, we were able to obtain a significant offer within 3 days of placing our home on the market!On balance, as noted above, there is none better, on a number of fronts, than Diana Sroufe!
We consider ourselves to be some of the luckiest people in the world to have found Shelley and Gary. Their ability to hone in on our wants and needs in a matter of hours of meeting us was amazing. They keyed in on what we were looking for and took us to places that were exactly what we wanted. They are the perfect combination of enthusiasm and practicality. Shelley will find what you want and Gary will tell you how your future home fits on the property. Who could ask for more! They are the best!
I have worked with Herman and Davis on four real estate transactions over the last six years. They truly care about you, listen to your needs, and go the extra mile to ensure you are happy. Their strong knowledge of the Hilton Head market proved very valuable. I highly recommend them.
