I could not give Christina Forbis a higher recommendation to be your real estate agent  It was a very, very difficult decision to put our family home up for sale.  Thankfully, we listened to a recommendation to talk with Christina.  It very quickly became apparent that she was the person to help us.  Not only did she fully grasp all aspects of the real estate market, but truly empathized with the emotional impact to our family to have to say goodbye to a place we all loved. We live out of state and needed a person that had superior customer service and was a good communicator.  Christina was with us every step of the way and kept us regularly informed on the status of the sale.  Christina also carefully and masterfully guided us in each step of the sale.  From setting the selling price, staging of the home, navigating thru multiple offers and bringing the accepted offer to a closed sale.  She was excellent in negotiations with prospective buyers and helped us to obtain the best possible price on the sale. Christina also has excellent contacts in the area and referred us to several individuals that were professional, nice to work with, and important links to help with the sale of the home.   In summary, Christina is not only a top-tier real estate agent in all business aspects, but also a professional and fantastic person to work with.

“Sabrina Zeoli is fantastic! She worked with my husband and I to find the perfect second home on Hilton Head Island. She was patient and always available. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. She was very supportive from the beginning to the end of our home buying experience. She made the whole process seamless. It is evident that Sabrina cares about her clients and her community. We would love to work with her again in the future!”

My husband and I were treated as if we were the only client and our agent negotiated the entire sale with our best interests in mind. I never realized how valuable that was until I experienced it. Outstanding experience!

We recently listed our vacation rental condo with Shelley and Gary, and it was a fantastic experience! We were kicking around the idea for a while and decided to test the water since it seemed like prices might have been going up and we figured we would see what happens. We talked to Shelley and Gary a bunch as we were deciding whether to list the unit or not, and they were incredibly helpful with all the information that they provided. Through that whole process we felt like they just wanted us to do what was best for us and we didn't feel any pressure at all to list it now as opposed to waiting. Shelley and Gary just gave us the facts with regard to current and recent listings and sales and stood behind us no matter what we decided. Ultimately, we decided to try the market for this unit, and it worked out better than we could have hoped! Throughout the entire process, the communication from Shelley and Gary was great. They made sure that we knew exactly what to expect from the process/next steps/etc...and whenever we had any questions, they were right on top of things. We have done a number of real estate transactions over the years and this experience was by far the smoothest and most pleasant one that we have had thanks to Shelley and Gary! Looking forward to the next one!

“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!”

“We have bought and sold several homes in our lives and let me be clear…. Sabrina Zeoli is the ABSOLUTE BEST REALTOR WE HAVE EVER WORKED WITH!! She is on top of the current real estate market and knows how to get the absolutely best price for her clients. Sabrina is intelligent, caring, professional, and aggressively looks out for her client’s interests. We would gladly work with her again, and she has our unflinching recommendation for anyone looking to either buy or sell a home.”

We’ve owned a home in Port Royal since 2006 and over that time have met numerous realtors who profess to know the Port Royal market.  Christina Forbis however, is the only one who really does.  She has an excellent knowledge of the area, as well as past, current and upcoming listings and sales.  She gave us a thorough market analysis and discussed things we should consider doing to improve the marketability, and sales price of our home.  With us living out of state, she handled everything to make the sale go through, beginning with advance marketing to professional photographs of our home, verification of HOA assessment payments, arranging for carpet cleaning, coordinating the repair work with our handyman, termite inspection, to recommend of a closing attorney.  This is our fourth real estate purchase or sale in Hilton Head Island, but our first with Christina.  Her level of customer service far exceeds the others.  We’ll never use anyone else; she’s great.

Debbie and Daniel Cort are amazing! They are very helpful and walk through the whole process with you. Very responsive and there are no bad questions. I was very impressed with their knowledge of the market and their drive to find exactly what you are looking for. When it came time to make an offer they were right on top of everything and kept us in the loop of all the changes made by the sellers. I highly recommend them as they are very professional and friendly and will find you the home you are looking for.

“As my fiancé and I were looking to start the process of buying our first home together, we were lucky to have found Sabrina. Because we had a small window of time to find a home, we knew we needed someone who was knowledgeable about the housing market, dependable and had our best interest in mind. Sabrina truly did not disappoint and surpassed every expectation we had for a real estate agent. She took the time to sit down and explain everything and genuinely listened to the vision we had for our home. Not only is Sabrina professional and competent in her role, but she is also very charismatic, making all communication with her enjoyable. Overall, she is such a positive and fun person to work with, but so detail oriented at the same time - she doesn't miss a beat! I will definitely be recommending her to anyone in the need of an agent because I know they will be well taken care of.”

"Sabrina is an absolute gem, she is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. She made the process of selling our Hilton Head condo incredibly easy, she was always one step ahead. Her attention to detail, organization and common sense approach to all aspects of selling our property made it seamless from start to finish. Sabrina was wonderful and the added bonus is we made a new friend. Thank you Sabrina!!"

Drew Butler did an outstanding job selling our home. This was the 3rd home that we sold with Drew as our agent. We had previously bought 2 homes with the help of Drew. Drew is very detail oriented, and we think that really helps sell the home. This latest home was only on the market for a short time, and we got our asking price! If I was buying or selling a house in Indigo Run Hilton Head Island, I would use Drew as my agent!

Alec Smith did an outstanding job finding the right buyer for my property. He was very knowledgeable on the area and willing to go the extra mile to show potential buyers the property. He will communicate often to explain market conditions and will guide you to make decisions on price and best steps to get your property sold as fast as possible.

We have executed multiple transactions with Andy as both buyers and sellers. He is, without question, the most thorough, well researched, and intelligent minds you will find in real estate, anywhere, not just in Sea Pines. He combines a conscientious, service-based style, with a keen business sense and impressive marketing skills. Any transaction we ever do will be with Andy Reed. If you’re smart, you will too.

We originally dealt very successfully with Richard many years ago and once again reached out to him. His service, communication, and follow-through were excellent. He made selling the property so easy and timely. We would highly recommend him to any prospective buyer or seller.

“Ethan stepped in to handle the sale of our home when our original realtor was unable to continue. He was a huge bonus for us. Ethan is a lifelong resident of Beaufort and knows the market intimately. We immediately felt comfortable with him and were delighted with his efforts and the results. He did a superb job marketing our property and was incredibly responsive to all of our requests. He noticed at one point that I was feeling unusually stressed and quickly identified ways he could step in and take some of the weight off our shoulders. We have bought and sold many homes in the past 20 years. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ethan to anyone who is considering buying or selling a property in the Beaufort area.”

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 worked with David and his team on our last 2 homes we purchased and the sale of another. If it wasn’t for David and his infinite relationships in the Hilton Head area, I don’t believe we would have had the opportunity to purchase our current home.  Being new to the Hilton Head area, David was a tremendous help in answering our countless questions. What impressed me the most about David was the time he took to truly understand our preferences and needs and his patience in helping us find the perfect home. I am thrilled to recommend David to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

"The ultimate professionals in real estate! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this dynamic duo. Matt possesses extensive knowledge of the market, is a great listener and focused on our specific wants and needs, was patient and accommodating when we shifted our search to different areas and home styles. Kara offered expertise and guidance preparing our home prior to showing. As our agent Matt represented us very well during the contract process, went over and above to make sure our requests were honored. Matt constantly communicated with us from contract signing through closing. Matt and Kara will represent you well!"

Drew Butler is the most professional real estate person we have used.  He is very personable.  Living in various plantations on Hilton Head Island gives him expert knowledge about property on the island.   His expertise in knowing property value and how to market property so that it sells is #1.  Drew listed our property and the second person that looked at our property purchased it.   If you have property to sell or if you are interested in purchasing property on beautiful Hilton Head Island, Drew Butler is your agent!

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!

Richard was fully up to date on market conditions very professional in all areas of the process of selling my property. He kept me up to date at all times, answered any questions that I had; he took care of all details. It was a pleasure to work with Richard in the sale of my property which was completed quickly. This was the fifth time that Richard has worked with me in selling or buying property.

I have been involved in many real estate transactions in my life and have dealt with many realtors over the years. I have to take the time to write this review (I haven’t in the past) because of how terrific Alec [Smith] was from the start to the finish and even the follow up. His local knowledge of waterfront property is impressive to say the least. He got a premium for my home on waterfront and I attribute that to his expertise. Alec helped me with home improvements to maximize the value of my home. Everything from recommendations of contractors to driving over (on his free time) to check on the work being done while I traveled for work. I was beyond grateful to have him working to sell my home. Alec presented me with several ideas to market my home to get the best bang for the buck as well. I was impressed with his outside the box ideas and his commitment to my home. There were times where I wondered how in the world is this guy even making money on my transaction with the effort and time he put forth. My home sold several weeks ago and he has called me several times after the fact to make sure I was happy with how everything went and to see how I was currently doing. Unbelievable! The job was done and closed and he still took the time to see if I was satisfied and if things were going well. I’ve seen that ever before in a Relator. Absolute professional!

"We were lucky to find Shelley & Gary. We don’t live in the area and had only visited the island twice before realizing we wanted to buy an investment property.  Shelley and Gary took the time to understand what we wanted and worked diligently to find it for us. They always responded to our questions quickly and clearly communicated with us and those involved in our purchase. They also referred us to their trusted resources to help us close on our property without a hitch, despite us living in Colorado and amidst the global health pandemic. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor in the area. Simply put – they are exactly what a buyer wants and needs, and yet, they still go above and beyond for their clients."

Thank you, Drew, for selling our home in Indigo Run on Hilton Head Island.  You and your team, Linda and Erin, were true professionals throughout the entire process.  We especially appreciate all the time and effort you put into marketing our property.  You were always available to answer any questions we had and to provide us with good suggestions.   We highly recommend your services to anyone looking to sell a home in Indigo Run or in the Hilton Head Island area!

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.
