Alec Smith is a very professional and customer Service oriented. Our home went on the market on a Monday and we were under Contract with a buyer by that Friday. He was always available and continuously offering assistance. I Highly Recommend Alec as a Realtor!!!!
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.
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.
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!!!
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!
Daniel & Debbie Cort were great to work with! We live out of state and were able to quickly find a condo on Hilton Head Island that met our needs for a great price. They used video chat for a walkthrough and very responsive to any questions. Highly recommended and will work with them for our next property!
“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt and Kara on the sale of our home and the purchase of a lot in a different neighborhood. Matt and Kara are a dream to work with! Their approach is a balance of listening to your wants/needs and using their expert knowledge to offer excellent direction, advice, and feedback. They are proactive, diligent, trustworthy, and professional, but above all they are kind and a joy to spend time with!! They went above and beyond, and the whole experience has been better than we could have expected! We would recommend them to anyone, and everyone looking to buy or sell in the Lowcountry!”
Lonnie Goulet handled the sale of our home. We found Lonnie to be knowledgeable, responsive, proactive, professional, thorough, and efficient. That’s a lot of positive adjectives to use about a Realtor’s performance and Lonnie earned it via her outstanding work. Our home was on the market for less than two weeks prior to receipt of an offer to purchase. She did a terrific job as a seller’s agent and we would not hesitate to call her if we buy or sell property in the low country in the future.
“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.”
Alec Smith is absolutely amazing to deal with and should be your only choice for Lowcountry real estate. I worked with him for almost two years before we finally found a property and he was never impatient or pushy. He worked very hard to find me exactly what I was looking for even though it wasn't a really large real estate purchase. We eventually bought land instead of a home but he worked as if he was selling us a mansion. I would definitely say he is driven by relationships over paychecks. Alec is very knowledgeable of the local real estate environment and has many resources at his disposal to help you make the proper decision. He provided many other points of contact that will be helpful as we move forward with our build. I will only use Alec for any purchases I make in the Beaufort area.
We are extremely grateful to Drew Butler and his team for going above and beyond in helping us sell our condo in Hilton Head. His marketplace expertise, initiative, responsiveness, and communications helped us achieve our goals while feeling totally supported every step of the way. He is one of the most knowledgeable, effective, and supportive realtors we’ve ever worked with and unequivocally recommend him.
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.
“Sabrina worked very hard for my wife and I. We bought our home remotely, and she helped us throughout the process. She was there for the final walk-through and inspection, and she took care of arranging and coordinating with local contractors. I highly recommend her if you need a realtor.”
We have done several transactions with Andy. He is professional, a good communicator and works very hard for his clients.
We highly recommend Andy.
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.
My husband Jim and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Andy, having first bought a beautiful condominium and more recently our dream home. Andy has been courteous, efficient, and respectful. He has made the often times difficult job of buying real estate easy. His knowledge of HHI real estate is well founded. We would highly recommend Andy to our friends and anyone looking for their special place on the island.
We originally met Marisa when friends of ours used her to purchase their home in Bluffton this past February. They spoke so highly of her and how helpful she was during their move from NJ. Marissa completely understood our requirements for purchasing our vacation home. It took only two days of viewing homes with her to find our perfect spot. That is because of all the behind-the-scenes leg work and research she put into everything. She is an excellent communicator and fabulous with follow through; two important criteria for us as our primary home is in GA. In addition to every step in the buying process, once we closed, she was there with resources for every thing and every one a new resident might need to know. We highly recommend Marisa to any potential buyers!
My husband and I met Linda 4 years ago and at that time I knew that if we didn't buy then we would someday. Fast forward to 2024 and we've quickly caught up, picked up where we left off and began the search for our next home and community. I still can't believe we found a property, made an offer, and had an acceptance in under two days! We appreciate all your help in the search for our newly purchased property and we are so excited to build our dream home. Your attention to details and knowledge of the community made the process easy, and we couldn't be happier we chose to work with you. We truly appreciated your flexibility, and willingness to accommodate our schedules knowing that we are not from the area and needed to fly in since we currently live so far away. You were terrific to create an agenda that maximized our time with the best result ever a property that we absolutely adore!
“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.”
I want to thank Shelley and Gary Elliott for listing and selling my property. I spent the whole time in my easy chair while they did all the work. The phone calls to sell my furnishings that I was not taking with me. Setting up the mover to come and take my possessions to my new residence. They even contacted the people where I’m going to find out if everything was in place so that there would not be any hiccups. They arranged to have some ladies come in and pack up all my belongings that I was taking with me. Again, I spent my whole time in my easy chair.
“Sabrina is amazing. She is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable with a wonderful personality. Sabrina worked tirelessly for us and was always available and accessible. She understood our goals and needs and, provided a clear roadmap to properties that fit our dreams. She found us the perfect home and stood firm on our behalf to make sure the property was in perfect condition for us before we took possession. Sabrina loves what she does, and it shows in every aspect of her work. We have bought and sold 10 homes (so far) in our lifetimes, and Sabrina is by far the best agent that we've ever worked with. We highly recommend Sabrina for anyone looking for property around HHI and will personally recommend her to everyone who is buying or selling a property in the Hilton Head area. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the top realtor, she is a 20!!”
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.
We decided to check out the real estate market in Berkeley Hall, where we were currently living, and called the Delchers about a listed home. We chose the Delchers because of their fine reputation in the real estate market in our area. However, that particular home did not turn out to be the home for us. We did not need to move, so we told Duke and Linda we only wanted something we fell in love with. They called a few weeks later and said they'd found the perfect house for us .......and it was! We're now the proud new owners of that property. Next came the sale of our current home. Linda and Duke were so helpful. Their marketing strategies were terrific. They made a lovely brochure featuring the various rooms and amenities of our home. A number of agents showed our home, and within a short time we had an offer. Linda also was very helpful in guiding us through the closing process, the property inspections, and finding us a move manager who also found us a mover. Once the ball was rolling, the whole process was seamless! We would strongly recommend the Delchers to anyone in the Bluffton/ Hilton Head area planning to buy or sell a home.
Shelley and Gary were probably the most thorough real estate agents I have ever worked with. I used to be a agent in California and this team are truly the best in the business. They always answer their phones and keep you updated throughout the whole process! If you are looking to sell your home or buy a home you will be very happy!
"If not for Diana Sroufe, our home search would not have ended in Belfair. Finding a home in a limited availability market, dealing with a long distance sale and move from Colorado, and the added pressure of the COVID hysteria proved almost too much for these new South Carolina residents. However we found “superwoman” Diana and she proved to be an indispensable resource for us. Even though she represented the seller, Diana became our go-to person to navigate the buying process in this state. She could answer any question that we had — whether about Belfair, the Bluffton community, need for flood insurance, etc. She was instrumental in ensuring the inspection items of concern were resolved in a timely manner to our satisfaction. She answered many a late night call as we came to closing. And she is a special ambassador for the Belfair community, going out of her way to introduce us to new friends and neighbors. Not only was she a tremendous business asset during our transition, she has become a dear and trusted friend"
"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."
I found Tom DeFazio to be an asset to his company and a very highly attentive agent to my needs, as though I were his only client. He is very knowledgeable in his field, patient, and personable. Tom always returned my phone calls or texts the same day. I am pleased to recommend Tom DeFazio to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. In fact, he is working with my family right now to purchase a second home. If or when I decide to sell or purchase a home again, Tom DeFazio would be my first call.
We first became acquainted with the John Weber Team at Charter One through watching John's videos. Once we made the decision to move from California to Sun City Hilton Head, we connected with Carolyn Welch. She was exceptional to work with! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind, and helped us through every step of the way, including referrals for home inspection, closing attorney, and information about getting our utilities set up. Carolyn treated us like friends or family, and it was appreciated throughout the six-month process. I would highly recommend Carolyn for your next home purchase!
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.”
Marisa Cain was a pivotal reason we bought our home. From the beginning, she struck the perfect balance—warm and enthusiastic, yet candid and insightful. We valued these attributes in Marisa, especially being new to the area. After just one morning of touring homes, she quickly honed in on what truly mattered to us. A week later, she had a strong instinct about a new listing and let us know right away. She was absolutely right—it turned out to be the one.
Marisa guided us through every step of the process with efficiency and care. She made sure we fully understood each aspect of the home and addressed any potential concerns on our checklist. We always felt she was advocating for us, representing our best interests throughout the entire home buying process.
Even after our offer was accepted, Marisa remained hands-on, leading us seamlessly through closing and generously sharing her trusted contacts for services like painting, landscaping, and cleaning. She is a true professional. We wholeheartedly recommend Marisa to anyone looking to buy a home.
