"Mark has been wonderful to work with. He's always professional, candid and friendly. Whenever we had questions or needs throughout the process of selling our home he was able to help immediately, and if he didn't have an answer right away, he worked hard to find the answer. Mark really stood out with his professionalism throughout the entire process, even when other parties were being less than professional in our dealings. We really appreciate everything Mark did to help us sell our home. Thank you!"

“Sabrina has been most responsive and helpful. She keeps on top of every aspect of the transaction. When looking for properties, she sets up viewings (in my case virtual) very quickly and provides her opinion on overall condition. I would highly recommend Sabrina to help in your property search.”

Incredibly seasoned, helpful and friendly. No detail escaped Richard MacDonald and he did a magnificent job of listing and selling our home in Hilton Head. Richard's long experience with real estate on the Island worked to our advantage. Very easy to work with as well.

We began our lowcountry real estate journey with Alec Smith about a year and a half ago. His extensive knowledge of the area guided us to our dream property, his shrewd negotiating skills ensured that we secured the best possible price, and his professionalism and attention to detail guaranteed that everything came together seamlessly. Alex will forever be our Realtor when the need arises, but now he is also our good friend!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Shelley and Gary! I’ve bought and sold 8 homes and this process was by far most supportive and enjoyable. They recently handled both a sale and purchase, all which took place in 2 quick months. They both went above and beyond every aspect of the sales. Their knowledge of the market and home buying process is without flaw. I hope to refer many clients to them in the future! I’m very thankful I made the decision to work with them.

Dan and Debbie have walked us through the selling of our home in Bluffton and the purchase of 2 oceanfront condos on Hilton Head. They both are truly masters of their trade! They perfectly complement each other in their skills which makes for a winning combination and successful results. They are knowledgeable about the area, diligently do their homework. and have have stellar marketing and negotiation skills. But what stands out to us is their excellent people and communication skills. They both make you feel like you are their only client, are responsive to questions, network and coordinate well with other realtors and service agencies and maintain professionalism, a positive outlook and a good sense of humor throughout the process! We highly recommend them!

“Sabrina was just fantastic in helping us find our second home in Hilton Head. She helped us find the perfect villa, guided us in making an offer, recommended all the necessary people to purchase the home and was our eyes and ears at the closing. She is very knowledgeable of the market and easy to work with - we recommend her without any hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Hilton Head area.”

I’ve known Drew for almost 30 years, and this is now my third real estate transaction with him. He knows the market extremely well, especially in Indigo Run, and is a fantastic negotiator. Drew is honest, trustworthy, and hardworking, always following up and making sure every detail is handled. With the support of his great assistant, Kim, the process is seamless. I wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else.

Look no further, David Wedgeworth is your guy. We had the pleasure of working with David for three real estate transactions over the last year and a half. From immediately talking with David we could tell he had the local knowledge, drive to sell our properties, and a genuineness that put us at ease. He was always available to answer questions and kept us informed on all the details throughout our transactions. He truly went above and beyond helping us find trusted companies for repairs that needed to be made and even met them at our home when we were unable to be there. He took away any stress that comes with buying and selling property. We are so thankful for David and his exceptional group over at The Wedgeworth Team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless real estate transaction.

Drew, Kim - We consider you two the dynamic duo. Drew, you are an amazing agent with a huge heart and eye not only for house sales but individuals that enhance the community. Your partner, Kim, is not a happen-chance coworker but truly your complement in selling homes, representing clients and assuring all parties that their wishes are valued. We have experienced 7 sales, but none as professionally orchestrated as 577 Colonial Dr. We thank you for your guidance, advice, representation and all-around friendship as we traversed this whirlwind house sale journey. Best wishes to you.

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.

"There aren't enough words to recommend Matt and Kara enough! As soon as we found out that they were venturing into real estate from previous years of successful careers in other fields, we knew that they would be who we'd want to work with in this next phase of our life. From our first showing when Kara entertained our kids so we could walk the house undisturbed, to the sale of our first family home, they’ve been nothing but exceptional. They both operate with the highest levels of professionalism and urgency. They always act with your best interests in mind and give great advice to ensure you earn top dollar on your property. We are so thankful to call Matt and Kara not only our agents, but best friends. They both truly care and are the team you want by your side during the house selling and buying journey. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank yall for everything!"

“Paul was part of a 2 person team that handled the sale of our home in Beaufort, SC. We appreciated his willingness to listen to our questions and answer them thoroughly. When he needed to get additional information he did not hesitate to do so and get back to us promptly. Paul is a down to earth kind of realtor and does not back away from the parts of the real estate process that take time and are the unseen steps that make it all work smoothly. We could not have been happier with his skills and with the result. Both my husband and I recommend Paul highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Beaufort SC area.”

We decided to list our home during difficult times with Covid-19. We were very concerned about people coming in and out of our house and Richard established a showing criteria that prospective buyers must meet prior to coming in the home and during their walkthrough which was for the safety of all concerned. With that said we listed the home at a price that Richard felt was right for the area. There was some criticism from other realtors that the price was too high. Richard was firm on his evaluation and pricing for the home. He was obviously right because the home sold in two days at the listing price. From there it was smooth sailing until closing. Richard handled all aspects of the process and was in constant contact with us. If you're looking for an agent, we would highly recommend him.

Christina is a gifted and talented real estate agent. In our experience in both our recent sale of a home and purchase of another one, Christina was not only on top of everything but made sure if there was a repair or something that needed to happen to make the transaction smooth or complete, she always knows just the right person to do the job. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the market on HHI as well as creative in marketing of any home. Christina always made herself available to answer any questions or discuss the progress of our buying or selling transactions.  Christina is by far the BEST realtor we've ever worked with, her professionalism, personality, attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to close deals were outstanding - both deals! If you are buying or selling a home, do yourselves a favor and hire Christina!

"Matt was a pleasure to work with on our most recent home purchase. Buying a property from out of state can be stressful but he helped the process go smoothly and answered all our questions. Matt set up home searches tailored to our needs, visited the property in advance, and showed us around the beautiful low country. He checked in during all stages and was very responsive to our texts/emails. He also provided recommendations for all of our other home buying needs. We would definitely recommend Matt if you are looking to buy/sell in the Lowcountry area."

Alec Smith was absolutely fantastic to work with. He far exceeded my expectations on the time it would take to sell my family’s land. In addition, he consistently kept me informed and the entire transaction could have not gone more smoothly. I highly recommend him.

Without a doubt Andy Reed has been the best realtor we have ever worked with. From our first contact he was direct, low pressure and had a keen sense of the current market environment. When our initial offer had buyers, who backed out of the contract, Andy made sure that we understood the ramifications of this. We again listed our villa and were successful with the sale. Andy is a communicator throughout the process and knows the Hilton Head real estate market. He is a five-star professional.

"I have experienced several moves over the years and this most recent move was the most challenging. I interviewed three realty firms and there was no contest. Austin Stokes and Ethan James, the Ethan James Team, of Charter One came to meet me ready to listen to my expectations and with a very professional presentation of how they wanted to market my home and were as interested as I in getting my home sold. Austin promised me he would help me in any way I needed from start to finish. This was more than just a sales pitch, a nice gesture. He has taken boxes for donations, trash bags out, and checked in often to see if I needed help with anything. He meant every word. Austin and Ethan are the knowledgeable, hardworking, professional gentlemen to whom you want to trust the buying or selling of your home."

Working with Debbie Cort was absolutely seamless and perfect. Our Family needed to relocate to the area from Florida and we had no idea where to start looking for our new home. My wife sent an email regarding a property we might be interested in and Debbie responded immediately! We shared our lifestyle and current type of home we owned to help Debbie show us the best neighborhood to suit us in the shortest time frame. After 2-3 trips from Florida to look at our home buying options we landed on a beautiful home in Bluffton with the amenities that were exactly to our needs! Without Debbie Cort we wouldn't have been able to make our move happen so smooth. And we have built a great friendship along the way. Debbie puts her heart and soul into the entire process. And was always available for any questions that came up. Thanks Debbie and Dan!

I have worked in my lifetime with over 20 real estate brokers. Buying and selling property in many different areas of the country is pretty typical for me. I must say that James Wedgeworth is by far the BEST broker I have ever dealt with. I could get into particulars and it would take an hour to write this review. So let me bullet point: -Professional -Extremely knowledgeable both to SC laws and local customs -Never say never attitude -Great negotiator -Superb listening skills -Amazing support staff (Erin is a rock star) -Kind, funny, witty and overall true southern gentleman. When push came to shove, he got the deal listed and sold in 6 days at my asking price. I can’t say enough. He took what was a difficult situation and made it work. Thank you James!

Throughout our recent buying efforts, we were impressed by Christina's knowledge of the community, surrounding trends of the rapidly changing local market, the ability to adapt at the last moment, and, of utmost importance her caring attitude. She never blinked at the rapid-fire requirements of Initiating offers, working the negotiations, and delivering a timely product through the process (of buying a home). In today's environment, the home buying process is not easy and could be very frustrating. Christina's unwavering dedication helped us to reach our goals and made the process delightful and satisfying. Collectively, we highly recommend Christina as a professional, knowledgeable, representative in today's fast-paced arena of real estate.

Alec Smith has helped us buy two homes and sell one house in the Celadon development on Lady's Island. His support and insight have been invaluable as we transitioned into the community and made this area our new home. He is detail-oriented, communicates exceptionally well, and is very professional. I would highly recommend Alec for buying or selling your home.

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.

Drew could not have been a better agent to work with. His knowledge of the market was excellent and his attention to detail was phenomenal. He facilitated all the inspections, made tremendous recommendations for any work that was needed, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. We would recommend Drew to everyone looking to buy on Hilton Head Island - you won't find a finer person to work with.
