Richard MacDonald gave me expert assistance, taking care of every detail, from finding a buyer to locating people to take care of minor moving details I highly recommend him and have already done so. We have known Richard for many years. He was our broker when the home was purchased 25 years ago, and instrumental in selling the home now. Thank you Richard for your very professional help.

"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!"

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.

Have been working with Richard for about 10 years. He has always been very helpful and very honest. Moved us through the process of buying and sell homes twice over a 7 year period. Could not have been faster to respond to our request to visit a home overnight, which led to us placing a purchase offer within 24 hrs. He placed our house on the market and had a contract in 24 hrs. All matters handled excellently. My wife and I are very happy to be working with Richard.

“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.”

I asked Christina Forbis to handle the sale of my Port Royal home because I appreciated the way she represented the sellers when I bought my home and because I knew of her outstanding reputation in the community. I was never disappointed. At every point in the sale, she went above and beyond what you might expect from a realtor.  No matter how busy she was, she always made me feel like I was her top priority. Christina provides a concierge level experience, dealing with all issues with grace and professionalism.

Marisa and Diana were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home-buying process. We had a very condensed amount of time ‘on the ground’ in Bluffton, and Marisa was incredibly efficient. She quickly understood what we were looking for and gave great advice (not just what we wanted to hear), and pre-screened properties sometimes faster than they were even on the market. We have bought and sold many properties over the years – Marisa’s ability to understand what was important to us and what would appeal to us was unparalleled when compared to our previous experiences.  Marisa and Diana’s advice about the market, quality of construction and other pros/cons of various properties was indispensable and helped us tremendously in our decision process.  Marisa is very matter-of-fact in negotiations and helped come to practical solutions so that we reached an agreement quickly with the buyer.  She kept the process moving forward throughout the period leading up to the closing, and made sure that nothing slipped through the cracks – she was always one or two steps ahead of everyone!  She also has great network of service providers and was able to quickly arrange things like inspections, and happy to help painters and other contactors get access to the property during the period up to the closing.    While Marisa and Diana are amazing professionals, the best part about working with them is the personal side. You can tell that they really care about their clients from all aspects – and I know that while we won’t be clients anymore, we already have two very good friends at our new home!

As an out-of-town seller, I had a wonderful experience selling my villa with Team Elliott! Shelley provided experienced advice and guidance throughout the entire process, and we sold for more than we had even hoped for! We received a FULL PRICE offer within 48 hrs. and closed 30 days later. Team Elliott is my "go-to" team for all future Hilton Head Island real estate transactions! I will refer them to all my friends and family!

“Sabrina was an absolute joy to work with. Sabrina was extremely knowledgeable about the area and assured us that she could get us our asking price. She actually went above and beyond our expectations with that. I found her to be very easy to communicate with, and she was very timely in getting back to me regarding questions. I have sold three houses in my life time and Sabrina made this one a very positive, stress-free experience.”

Recently my wife and I have had the privilege of working with Angela Barbic of Charter One Realty.  Angela recognized that we were coming from Virginia and our time in Bluffton was limited and valuable. Angela and I discussed our desires/requirements/priorities prior to our visit to Bluffton.  It was a pleasure to see that she took into account all that we had asked for and presented us with properties which were as close to our needs as possible.  It was a pleasure not to be led around and shown properties which were not what we wanted.  She is a true professional who had our best interests as a top priority.  We plan to move to Bluffton in, hopefully, the near future and look forward to working with Angela in achieving our goals.  I would be the first to recommend Angela to anybody I knew who was moving to the Hilton Head area.  Angela is a true asset to your organization.

Andy Reed came highly recommended to us by long-time friends and residents of Long Cove Club, and we were extremely satisfied with our process.  With his experience and ability to understand our wants and needs, we were able to quickly determine the best communities and ultimately decided on Long Cove.  The house was perfect, the contract and settlement process went exceedingly well, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with Andy and his great team.

What a journey we’ve been on the last year! We knew that we needed to downsize but we also wanted a nice garden for Lisa. Daniel and Debbie were with us on every step of this journey and they were so generous of their patience with us! Their attention to detail was amazing and their advice was always well thought out. The respect they’ve earned in the community was obvious when dealing with contractors, roofers, plumbers, inspectors, etc. They were always able to get quick and reliable replies. Daniel and Debbie did a wonderful job selling our house and finding our new home. They are an awesome couple and you couldn’t go wrong with the Cort Team.

James Wedgeworth did an outstanding job in assisting me with the sale of my home. He provided detailed analyses of the local market and changes in trends. He helped me understand how to best list the property and James helped me evaluate and maneuver through multiple offers. Throughout the entire process, from listing to closing, James and his team were incredibly patient and understanding with me, providing assistance as needed.

Andy Reed is our "go-to" man.  If you want tailor made attention to your real estate needs, Andy is the man you want as a realtor who represents the unique atmosphere of Long Cove Club.  He has lived and raised a family in LCC for 26 years.  Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend this affable member of Charter One Realty.  We trust him and have been happy here for 19 years.

"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."

"When I first inquired about property on HHI, I contacted several Realtors. None of them inspired confidence. I then met Tom Reed of the Reed Team. From my first conversation with Tom, I knew I had met someone who would guide me toward the correct real estate decision. This judgment has stood the test of time from both a satisfaction and investment perspective. With Tom's assistance, I am currently working toward my next real estate purchase on HHI. I strongly recommend Tom Reed and his associates."

I have been a real estate investor for over 30 years and would happily recommend Alec Smith. He has been one of the best agents that I have ever worked with. He was professional and helpful from my first phone call to my closing. He is very knowledgeable about the area and will provide you with all the necessary information and contacts to insure that your project will be successful. Happy shopping for your next venture.

Purchased a home in Sea Pines with Andy and the Reed Team. Andy’s knowledge of the local area and the individual communities was very helpful. He worked with us over the span of two years as we searched for the right second home. During our search we came to the island several times and when Andy was not available Rich took us around. Then when we finally decided on a home, Andy and his Dad were both there to help out. It’s really a team approach and we appreciated that very much. As if finding the perfect home was not enough we were actually living out of the country when we went under contract - 2,500 miles away in Asia. Andy kept us up to date and on track for our closing. If you are looking for an agent or a team of agents that care about finding you the right home or second home - call on Andy and the Reed Team.

We recently sold our house with Drew Butler. The process was very successful from start to finish. Drew brought the data which made the pricing decision easy, his suggestions to “ready” the house for buyers was effective and not overly complicated. We had early showings and a buyer in several days at full price. Drew and his assistant, Kim Burke, were helpful through the inspection and follow-up. They were great at communications right up through the closing. It is extremely helpful that Drew knows Indigo Run and all the reasons it is the place to be on Hilton Head.

The Reed Team and Andy Reed in particular were very efficient and helpful when we first came to Hilton Head. They made our home purchase easy and actually fun. Negotiating through closing we were led through the process with ease and confidence. After moving in they helped us in so many ways to get settled and to find our way around the area and to locate different services. Since then, we have referred friends to the Reed Team and have been pleased with the way they were treated. We always felt our friends were their friends. Thank you all for the extra effort!

My wife and I made the decision to move across the country from Arizona to Bluffton I the Spring of 2019.  Having a child still in high school made the window for this move quite small.  Diana Sroufe made this transition possible and provided us exactly what we needed.  We flew into town to look at homes on Easter weekend and Diana was awesome!  Not only did she show us what we wanted to see....even though she knew we would not pursue, but gave us insight and ideas as we viewed our first few homes together.  Diana listened and immediately came up with additional homes to view based on our criteria. Can we look at that one again?  I am sure this routine can be annoying, but Diana was there to show us listings....and even go back more than a few times. When we were ready, Diana took charge and our offer was submitted and accepted prior to our arrival in town for the second round of viewings.  Diana quickly took action and even had the home inspected while we were in town.  As we left, Diana had a complete list of preferred vendors for all of the things we needed and they were all top-notch. Working with Diana was the best decision and a major reason this move was stress-free."

Daniel and Debbie are an amazing real estate team. Daniel quickly accessed our needs and identified a number of properties that met our investment criteria. In addition, his contacts enabled us to do a quick renovation and secure a great property manager that to date have been extremely beneficial. Debbie was extremely helpful in a number of logistical areas including helping dealing with attorneys and out of state tax issues related to the property. She provided the necessary push when things started to get bogged down. We would highly recommend the Cort Team for anyone’s real estate needs in the Hilton Head area. By far the best real estate experience we have ever had.
