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 can't 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!

A 5-star experience from start to finish! We really don't know how the buying and selling process with Duke and Linda could be any better. Their delightful, calm demeanor throughout helped soothe the stress that moving creates. Excellent communication and professionalism every step of the way. First, they knew what we wanted and found the perfect home which we bought after one viewing. Only 3 days later they sold our house, again after one viewing. It seemed too good to be true. We highly recommend their services!

A true team approach from the first meeting through the closing. They are all excellent communicators and go far beyond what I have experienced during other residential transactions. They are without question the best real estate firm I have had the pleasure of working with. I am so happy after interviewing three local realtors that we chose H&D!

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.

“This was arguably one of the most challenging processes I’ve experienced because of the seller and the agent husband / wife team. Had it not been for Judd, the closing attorneys and the mortgage broker I don’t think this deal would have happened. Many thanks to Judd Tracy and Charter One for their patience and professionalism getting this deal over the finish line. Couldn’t have done it without you."

We used Duke to buy and sell our first house on Hilton Head Island. Our experience was so positive we returned to him to purchase our second. Duke is prompt, thorough, knows the market and pushed us just enough to look in a neighborhood we weren’t leaning towards and it ended up being the perfect spot. We are thrilled with our new home and would return to Duke again with any real estate needs. We highly recommend Duke and Linda!

Alec was great from the start. Knowledgeable of the area and the local market, which was a huge plus since I live out of town . I was confident and trusted his experience and guidance through the sale of my Bull Point Plantation lot; he is very active and involved. If you need a realtor in Bull Point or in Beaufort, give Alec a call!

My wife Julie and I have had the pleasure of working with The Reed Team for many years, and we consider them to be family.  They have represented my family and I in several real estate transactions, and our experience has consistently been first-class. Their professionalism, dedication, and knowledge of the Hilton Head real estate market is unmatched. Most recently, Andy Reed, worked on our behalf in the purchase of an oceanfront home in Sea Pines.  His expertise and knowledge of the Sea Pines market proved invaluable.  Not only was he responsive, but he took the time to understand our goals and objectives and represented us as if we were his number one priority.  We are thrilled with the long-term relationship we have enjoyed with Andy and The Reed Team and highly recommend Andy Reed if you are looking to buy or sell your property in Sea Pines.

Alec Smith came through for us in a very big way listing a property and getting us more than we expected. He was involved every step of the way throughout the process always available no matter how big or small the issue and did so with a smile. He gets results and helped us maximize for our charity. I would highly recommend him, He did an amazing job with patience, professionalism and understanding. Alec is truly a pleasure to work with, you know you are in good hands with him.

“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.”

"My wife and I have worked with Judd Tracy on several occasions. We have purchased and sold a property in Sea Pines. We have also referred him to friends that have interest in HHI. Judd is great to work with, he is professional and low key. Never any pressure. He is patient and willing to show as many properties that it takes. We will certainly work with Judd for our real estate needs.”

There are rare, but special, times in life when a professional contact becomes a trusted friend.  Five years ago, Sabeth Biangone helped us find a community and a home, shepherded the myriad details of a long-distance house purchase, and defended our legal contract against a seller's agent who tried to start a bidding war.  When it became time to sell, she expertly guided us through pricing, timing, and presenting our home to its best advantage.  The result was a quick and easy sale.  She is professional but fun to work with, no-nonsense but sympathetic, tireless and generous with her time, and unfailingly available and supportive.  Our meeting years ago started with a random phone call to Charter One Realty, and we are so lucky that she’s the one who answered the call.

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.

Michael Haire was great to work with in buying a home at Palmetto Bluff (PB). He asked questions and listened well to what we were looking for, and then showed us options that met or exceeded our expectations. His sense of humor and friendly side-kick Kona made the buying process a joy. Michael was a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable and he made times available to meet with us on short notice with our tight travel schedule. We love our new PB home and would highly recommend Michael for your Lowcountry real estate needs.

"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!"

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.

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.

OUTSTANDING! From the start Tammy Moody’s knowledge of the inventory, pricing and challenging market provided us with extremely helpful advice and guidance every step of the way. She ensured that we understood all aspects involved in selling our home. Tammy helped us through some times when we had doubts and endless questions that all sellers have. Our home sold and we were thrilled. All we can say is high marks for Tammy and the Charter One Team.

Ron and I were pleased that Herman and Davis Properties got results. They listed our property at the right price, prepared first class promotional materials, showed it, and sold it for our asking price in 4 days. They supported us during the closing that was executed without problems. We would recommend them without hesitation.

"We can't thank Shelley and Gary enough for all of their help finding us our dream home! These days with inventory moving so quickly, by the time you see something out there on the real estate sites it is usually already gone. Shelley and Gary worked tirelessly (and I'm not just saying that, I mean tirelessly!) to find us this home that finally checked every one of our boxes, and there were a number of boxes! Shelley and Gary were super patient with our quest to find the perfect spot and I think enjoyed when we found the perfect home as much as we did! They were very helpful with our many many questions along the way and even though we have gone through the process of purchasing a home a few times before it always helps to have someone there to guide you through the process."

Daniel and Debbie were amazing to work with. We connected right from the start. They were very attentive to what I was looking for and the two of them make a great team together. You really can't find better people to work with. They are responsive, professional, friendly and I am happy to say that not only did I find a great realtor team but I found a great friendship with the two of them. I would highly recommend them with your real estate needs.

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!

Selling a house is not easy for the seller or their agent. Emotions, economics, and the many variables in between can make for a stressful situation all around. Thankfully, we had Diana (first as our longtime friend then as our agent) to guide us through the process with resounding success. From pricing to staging to negotiating, Diana was always there for us. Her work ethic and attention to detail are second-to-none. Diana got us the price we were looking for and was a very effective liaison between us and the eventual buyer. Heck, she even arranged for some of our furnishings to be sold at auction after the transaction closed! And did we mention she knows Belfair better than anyone on the planet?! Thank you Diana for helping us start a new chapter in our lives….

I called Sara about a year ago regarding one of her listings. I explained that we were living out of state, but our daughter and her husband had built a home in The Lakes at New Riverside, which was where Sara’s listing was located. She gave me more than an hour of her time and said to me, ‘Keep in touch, and I’ll show you all the different neighborhoods once you and your husband come down for a visit.’ She was so professional and kind that I knew I had found the perfect Realtor. After we came to visit, Sara spent so much time organizing house showings and helped us realize something we didn’t even know about ourselves, that a 55+ neighborhood was the perfect fit for us. After viewing The Haven and Four Seasons, both of which had so much to offer, we were incredibly excited about the possibility of calling one of them home. After much consideration, we chose a new build in Four Seasons. Sara was there every step of the way. Since we lived out of state, she would check on the progress and send us pictures and videos. She was so efficient and caring, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her work ethic and loyalty! We have now closed our home and are preparing to become full-time residents of Bluffton. Having Sara by our side throughout the entire process has been wonderful! I highly recommend Sara, and I have friends in New York who are looking to relocate in the near future. Sara will definitely be working with them based on my wonderful experience. I know Sara started out as my Realtor, but honestly, she has become part of my family and is now someone I am proud to call my friend. I know that once you use Sara for your real estate needs, you will feel the same.

Becky and her team have done two Real Estate transactions for us. She is professional, honest , competent and very caring.

Buying our new home with Debbie and Daniel was an unbelievably easy experience! Debbie went above and beyond to make sure every "i "was dotted and every "t" crossed. She and Daniel gave us great advice as to where to buy and who to get as our mortgage processor. A usually daunting experience was turned into a very easy and no stress experience. I HIGHLY recommend these very professional agents to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bluffton/HHI area. A business relationship has turned into a great friendship! Thanks Debbie and Daniel for our new home!!
