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.”

Things were great from start to finish. One of the best things was the communication. Marvin [Hall] picked up on the first ring or called back in minutes. Another thing that was important was his list of recommendations. They were spot on doing excellent work at reasonable prices. Marvin also put together a pamphlet of our home that was over the top and made us wonder why we would sell that house! Marvin was an excellent choice to list our house. We would highly recommend him as your first choice in listing your home.

"Matt & Kara were beyond helpful in our journey of buying a home. They were timely, responsive, communicative, and answered every question we had. They went out of their way to send us listings and recommended certain areas/neighborhoods they believed checked the boxes of what our family was looking for. We are so grateful to have had their help and expertise during our home buying process. We can’t recommend them enough!"

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!

Team Elliott helped us out tremendously, as first-time home sellers they were very knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. They guided us through and took care and pride in helping us reach our goals. After meeting with them we knew instantly that they had our best interest in mind. I cannot praise them enough for their guidance. My wife and I were very pleased with their service and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for realtors in the area.

Becky and her team have done two Real Estate transactions for us. She is professional, honest , competent and very caring. She is responsive and her team or she always answer questions, and return calls in a timely fashion. I can't imagine ever buying or selling without her as our advocate. Many thanks for everything!!!

"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."

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!

Brad Wilson made the experience of selling my parents' home not only easy, but very successful as well. We relied on his expertise, honesty, experience and incredible staff, particularly since we are not South Carolina residents. I am so happy to have chosen Brad as our Realtor and hightly recommend him to anyone who is buying or selling in the Hilton Head Island Area.

"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!"

100% recommend Julianne. This was me and my wife’s first time buying a home and I cannot image how difficult it could have been with a realtor who only did the bare minimum. Julianne has been working with us for 4 months to find a house and has been very responsive proactive and always working behind the scenes to make everything as smooth and easy as possible for us. She was very real with us, talked us down on a few houses where she saw problems that we did not to make sure that we, as first time home buyers, were not going to get ourselves into a house we could not handle or end up spending a ton of money in the future on potential unforeseen repairs. Now we have closed on a house that we are completely in love with and it would not have been possible without her. Thank you so much Julianne!

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!

I've known Diana for years now, and it's been such a joy to watch our relationship grow. We actually met when I moved here from Arlington, VA, and found the Belfair home I ended up buying — Diana was the listing agent, and I liked her instantly. Her energy is contagious, and she made what could've been a stressful cross-state move feel fun and exciting instead. After that, I got into real estate myself, first with a local builder and then in general brokerage. I spent several years at another company before moving to Charter One. Still, throughout it all, Diana and I stayed in touch — the kind of relationship that doesn't need constant contact to stay real. Every time we caught up, it picked right back up. When I was seriously considering Charter One, Diana was one of the people I leaned on. She spent real time walking me through their marketing, telling me what she genuinely loved about the company, and being honest about her own experience there. Her enthusiasm was contagious — again — and it made a big decision feel a lot easier. Now we talk all the time. We share ideas, materials, what's working and what isn't, and we cheer each other on when the business gets hard, which it does. I value her opinion more than almost anyone else's in this industry, and I know I can count on her to be honest, generous, and genuinely happy to help. Diana truly loves this job. It shows in everything she does, from how much fun she brings to the people around her to how deeply she cares about her clients. She's the real deal — as an agent and as a friend.

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.

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.

Our introduction to Cristina was through the purchase of our new home in Port Royal, in which she represented the sellers of the house we ended up buying.  We agreed to a dual agent relationship whereby she handled both sides of the transaction.  Admittedly, we had some concerns about conflicts of interest but those were quickly allayed as she handled matters like a true pro.  We never felt like we were being played off against the other side, and that all negotiated points were balanced with an aim to closing the deal.  We had confidence in her ability to represent our interests fairly and genuinely throughout a process that went smoothly and with hardly any issues.  Even after the closing, Christina continues to be a resource.  As we are new to the HHI community, she’s provided valuable information that has enabled us to transition easily into our new home.  We stay in contact with her on a regular basis and she’s always available to take our call.  We consider her a friend and are very fortunate to have her counsel and assistance as needed.

"Julianne is the “Gold Standard” of real estate! In Beaufort, SC!! Starting from Day 1 she never took a day off to sell the property. She went above and beyond than any realtor that I’ve come across!! I put it in her hands and it was complete cruise control for me. I would highly recommend that if you are looking to sell in the Beaufort/St.Helena area there is no other choice for a realtor!! Julianne Clark is the Realtor to choose!! A++"

We wandered into Michael Haire’s office unannounced and without any plan to leave California and move to Palmetto Bluff. Fast forward just a few months, and we were back for a “visit”. Michael’s knowledge of the community and his ability to assess and respond to what we liked and didn’t like as we toured homes made the buying experience easy. His dry sense of humor made it fun. With his help, we found the perfect home and closed escrow painlessly, despite doing so long distance. He is a consummate professional, a great guy and the best broker we’ve ever worked with anywhere.

“Sabrina Zeoli stands out from the rest! Having worked with numerous real estate agents nationwide and in Hilton Head Island (HHI), we found Sabrina to be truly the greatest of all time (The GOAT). We were blessed to meet Sabrina at an open house and immediately connected with her. She guided us on an amazing journey that led us to purchase our 30-year dream beach home on HHI! Sabrina is not just a real estate agent; we now proudly call her our friend. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank You Sabrina!”

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!!

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.

"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!"

Christina has been our realtor for the past five years. We were searching for the “perfect spot” at Hilton head and she helped us find a lovely one! She was very patient during our long search of properties.  She was always available, courteous, and professional. Christina went above and beyond what would be expected by a real estate agent. Bud and I appreciate her help and recommend Christina highly!

When it came time to sell our property we did our research and interviewed multiple top agents. We selected Chip and his team based upon his reputation of performance, his knowledge of the local market, his marketing expertise, and his communication style. Despite being out of state sellers, we always felt that we were a priority. There were multiple hurdles through the selling process and Chip was by our side negotiating on our behalf and providing constant communication. Again, as out of state sellers Chip was able to provide peace of mind and was able to guide us to a successful closing. We would highly recommend Chip and his team.
