The VA Home Loan Advantage: What Every Veteran Should Know Right Now

The VA Home Loan Advantage: What Every Veteran Should Know Right Now If you’ve served in the military (or if your spouse has), you have access to one of the most powerful homebuying tools out there. The chance to buy a home without having a down payment. Unfortunately, 70% of Veterans (that's 7 out of every 10) don’t know about this benefit, according to Veterans United. And that’s a big missed opportunity for those who’ve earned this benefit through...

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.

The Elliott Team is impeccable in their extensive real estate knowledge and are consummate, skilled professionals. Without their invaluable help, we would not have found the perfect home. In addition to the unwavering attention they gave us, friends who were visiting us became interested in the area and wanted to investigate options. The result of the Elliott's efforts to accommodate our friend's limited schedule and stay, was quite simply, extraordinary. Our friends also found a wonderful house due to the Elliott’s focused action. We are grateful to have our friends here and also to say thank you, once again, for Shelley and Gary Elliott's incredible efforts.

We have worked with Andy Reed for 3 years. He has spent countless hours showing us homes in every neighborhood on Hilton Head, helping us to understand the pluses and minuses of each one. He was patient, he was honest, he was supportive, and he never pressured us to buy. When we did decide to buy, he explained the contract terms carefully and he handled the details. When we had questions, he returned phone calls and emails promptly. Andy was always professional, he represented us fairly and we now have a new friend.

"Not only is Judd Tracy a great guy, but he is also an amazing Realtor. After Judd listed our house in Bluffton, we received two full-price offers within 24 hours! He also was extremely helpful in finding our new home. Judd is a Realtor you can trust, and I highly recommend him to anyone."

Having the both of you as part of our “Team” always gave us a sense of confidence throughout the process. Your warm welcoming demeanor, your marketing strategies, your expertise and insights regarding Colleton enabled us to meet our goals stress free and in a timely manner. We know that when we return to Colleton to purchase our next home, our expectations and needs will once again be fulfilled by a winning team of real estate agents.

Thanks to both Shelley and Gary for making this the easiest and fastest sale we have ever experienced! We are so happy that we decided to go with Team Elliott of Charter One Realty. Thank you for also referring us to Smith Law firm, for they were fantastic in every way. My husband (also a Realtor) and I were very impressed with how often they communicated via their portal and text messages. We will definitely connect with you the next time we are in Hilton Head!

Diane and her team went above and beyond to help us through the process of selling our home.  Initially, they created a strong marketing brochure that attracted potential buyers and used their extensive knowledge of the local market to cultivate buyers.  Her patience, timely communication, and guidance made all the difference as we worked through challenges with buyers, inspections, and all the other steps of selling.  It is easy for a realtor to be “hands on” when a house sells quickly, but Diane stayed the course with us and her guidance ultimately helped us sell our home at the price we wanted.  If you want a realtor that will be with you through every step of this process, Diane and her team should be your first choice!

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.

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!

"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."

We've known Andy Reed and his team for at least 20 years and have always respected and appreciated Andy's professionalism and knowledge. We consider him to be an expert and our go-to resource with regards to Hilton Head real estate. We were selling our lot in Long Cove in the midst of Hurricane Matthew, so it was a much more complex transaction than the typical lot sale. Andy exercised unbelievable patience, skill and diplomacy to both locate a buyer and agree to terms that worked for everyone. We would highly recommend Andy and his team for any real estate needs.

“Exceptionally responsive and handled a challenging timeline well. Helped us find the ideal investment property for our needs/budget. Went above and beyond to help navigate our purchase fully remote; from virtual tour, to inspections, to closing. Excellent for those from the northeast looking for investment properties in the Hilton Head area and understanding the differences in real estate transactions in SC vs. NY/NJ. Highly recommended!”

Sanders was a huge asset to our process / purchase. He was knowledgeable, organized and extremely personable. I would rate him 6 stars on all categories if I could. He was very patient in our process but also very communicative. We purchased from Maine, so our process could be considered a bit longer than a typical transaction. He had a great balance of being "in touch", but not too vigorous which I really appreciated. I am very confident when I say that anybody has Sanders represent them in a transaction will be very pleased with his work. He is a very genuine and honest. After the sale he didn't stop trying to help us get situated in Low Country. We don't plan to have another transaction soon, but there is no question Sanders would be our first call if we did!

Tom Defazio was always available on short notice to show us properties we were interested in. Over a period of several months he was responsive to our changing property wish list and desired locations. In the end he helped us secure the right property in a great location. We recommend him without hesitation.

Alec did an outstanding job assisting with the purchase of a vacant lot on Lady’s Island. It is the ideal location for me to look at developing in the future. Alec was patient with listening to my wants and desires for the lot and took the time to review everything about the lot with me. His negotiating skills helped to secure the lot for the price I was willing to pay. Alec and his family will forever be considered friends and I know I will be working with Alec again in the future.

Christina did a fantastic job! She was professional, knowledgeable, and competent throughout the entire process of selling our home. Most importantly, she listened! She "heard" our expectations and offered realistic advice that resulted in a quick and successful sale. She was in constant contact during the sale and even graciously offered assistance on the purchase of our new home. She goes "above and beyond" for her clients. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and recommend Christina to anyone considering the sale of their home.

We enjoyed a warm and welcoming feeling from The Reed Team. Andy really listened to what our dreams were, and then showed us how to make them come true ...with absolutely no pressure. It is also interesting to note, that even after our purchase, he continues to offer support, updating us on other HHI opportunities, new restaurants and community news. We look forward to visiting HHI, and know we have a friend there when we arrive.

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 were interested in purchasing a home in the Bluffton area and currently live in Pennsylvania. Our list of wants and needs were long and we weren’t sure if we could come close to finding anything in our price range and that checked off a lot of our boxes. Luckily we were introduced to Diana Sroufe from Charter One and immediately clicked. Diana took the time to get to know us and was able to understand our interests. Diana was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to all communications throughout the process. Diana is closely plugged in to the community and homes coming up for sale. We ended up with a lovely home that was exactly what we had hoped for. I know if we had any other realtor agent we would not have ended up as happy as we are today. Diana helped my sister find a home in Belfair last year. She helped my sister the same way she helped us. Our family can’t thank Diana enough for her hard work and diligence finding us a home.

“Sabrina was the listing agent on my condo at the Preserve in Hilton Head. We owned the unit for over 15 years and used it as rental; vacation home and primary residence over the years, it definitely had sentimental value to us. When it was time to sell, I decided to select an agent based on the recent sales in the community. I selected (3) agents by looking at Zillow Sold Properties, Sabrina was the only one that took my call on Saturday afternoon. We met with her the following Monday and within the week property was listed. Sabrina was very professional, straight forward and promised to look after our home after we left (we are from Nevada). Sabrina did an excellent job advertising the property, she was there before and after every showing, provided us with feedback and held several open houses. Sabrina’s hard work and dedication resulted in 2 offers after just 4 weeks on the market (July 2025 was already a buyers’ market). We sold the unit for price we wanted, entire process was super easy, she took care of the inspections, got us in touch with great attorney and pretty much took care of any issues that came up from the moment we handed her the keys. Sabrina is one of the best real estate agents we have worked with, and we would recommend her to any buyer or seller. Thank you Sabrina!!!”

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 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 cant 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!

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.

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!

“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.”
