"We have bought, sold, and built homes throughout our lives. Shelley & Gary know the challenges of moving to a new state and they have a unique formula for finding the right community and home for you.  We decided to build after finding our community and are so fortunate to have selected them as our buyer's agents at no cost to us. They handled so many issues for us and we were assured our interests were being safeguarded. Thank you for making what is usually a very stressful process a most rewarding experience. We love our new home!"

After vacationing on Hilton Head Island for several years, we were ready to house hunt and Christina Forbis was recommended to us by one of her very satisfied former clients.  She hung in there with us for several more years, showing us properties as we continued to vacation and ponder retirement on the Island.    We were all over the place with our search and Christina patiently helped us hone in on the areas we liked best and the type of house we wanted.   She helped us learn about Hilton Head and its communities and made adjustments to our search as our thinking evolved. We relied on her experience and expertise to help us navigate the sales and closing processes and she was quick to respond to the dozens of questions we threw her way.   We enjoyed working with Christina and found her sense of humor, professional demeanor and code of ethics to be in line with the qualities we wanted in a real estate agent.  We would certainly recommend her without reservation.

“ Paul Rittenhouse helped us find our dream home! My husband and I had to move across the country and were not be able to be in person to house hunt. Working with Paul felt like we had boots on the ground. He was eager to show us any property that caught our interest, making us feel like we were his top priority at all times. Ultimately, he navigated us through a tough situation, and found us our dream home that we were able to get an accepted offer on before it hit market. So thankful to have Paul represent us and help us transition into our next chapter of life!”

Andy Twisdale represented us and closed the sale of our 6 Virginia Rail home on Hilton Head. We recommend him for his professional and friendly manner and his willingness to handle the listing with our being out of town. He handled several issues in a timely manner which required attention for the successful sale.

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with in both selling our house and closing on a new, downsized home. Incredibly responsive and organized from day 1 - we truly felt like they were on our team, working hand in hand with us to find the best overall situation for our family. We would definitely work with the Corts again, and we would recommend them to anyone searching for a home or selling a home in the Bluffton area.

Hannah was great to work with. Being a first time homebuyer can be intimidating but she made the process very easy and was great at explaining all the details. Hannah was always very responsive and was awesome at working with hectic work schedules. She even worked on her vacation to make sure we were able to get an offer in on the home we ended up purchasing. It was a pleasure working with Hannah and would highly recommend for anyone looking to purchase a home.

We were very pleased with the excellent work of Herman and Davis Properties in the purchase of our home in Long Cove. Monica Davis was our realtor during this process and she was prompt, well-informed, professional, and cordial in all of our interactions. All aspects of buying a home were handled smoothly by Monica and her team. We highly recommend them without any reservations whatsoever. If you want the best, go to the best: Herman & Davis Properties.

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!

Krista was our super-agent who showed us so many areas, properties and homes during our search. She was patient and thorough, never showing us anything she didn’t think was right for us: newly retired couple moving to the low country to find a great neighborhood. We wound up buying property to build our home and Krista has gone above and beyond following up after closing and helping us with the build. Service, great attitude and fun. Thanks so much! Would highly recommend Krista Wilson!

“I have bought and sold 8 homes in my lifetime and Sabrina is by far the best Real Estate Agent I have ever experienced. My last purchase was in a very competitive market with multiple offers being presented on each home we were interested in. Sabrina was always there providing us guidance on each and every house we bid on. Although it took us several months to find our dream home, in the end we purchased our home for a fair value. In addition to her great negotiating skills, she helped navigate us through a difficult and challenging mortgage loan process. Near the end she even escalated to the Vice President of the bank to push our loan across the finish line. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Hilton Head Island SC. She is simply the best.”

Based on recommendations from several friends as well as personal knowledge, we chose Christina Forbis as our realtor. She worked with us throughout every aspect of the sale of our home.  Christina proved to be the ultimate professional and the best in the business. Her intimate knowledge of the Port Royal marketplace combined with her attention to every detail and her willingness to “go the extra mile”, led to a successful sale from listing through closing within 30 days. There is no doubt in our minds that Christina is the realtor you want to be with in the sale of your home.  She is simply beyond compare!

"Marvin sold our home in Rose Hill and it was an awesome experience. He's extremely knowledgeable and professional, taking the time to explain every aspect of selling our home so we were comfortable with the experience. He kept in constant contact with us, taking care of all the details to ensure the sale went smoothly. After selling our home, Marvin helped us sell my mother's house in Sun City. My mother couldn't have been happier with Marvin and how he took care of all the details. If you're looking for a Realtor, look no further than Marvin Hall. He'll do an awesome job for you."

Daniel and Debbie are super people who made our house purchase process a breeze. They were always very responsive and made us feel that we were their only client. Debbie and Daniel are courteous and very professional which is not always easy to find. You will not go wrong with this awesome team.

As one of the original members of the Palmetto Bluff real estate team and the longest serving member of that team, few if any know Palmetto Bluff and Palmetto Bluff real estate as well as Keene Reese. We surely benefitted from his depth of knowledge and excellent relationships when we purchased and developed our Palmetto Bluff homesite. Keene’s wonderful personality and superior character added to our very favorable experience. We certainly intend to involve Keene in our next Lowcountry transaction.

“Sabrina was by far the best realtor we have ever used. She is the ultimate professional when it comes to real estate. Sabrina worked with us for several months to find the right house and worked with us through the entire process. She never let a day go by without assisting with inspectors, contractors etc. Highly recommend Sabrina to both sell and purchase a property. You won't find a better realtor!!!! Outstanding!!”

I don't even know how to begin reviewing the experience my wife and I had with Linda as our realtor. If I could give 10 stars, I would! She's that good. Linda is a total professional, but I feel like she became our good friend too. Friendly, smart, punctual, helpful, and thorough are just a few of the descriptions that apply. She made the entire process of buying our beach condo so much easier. She has a folder full of contacts of other pros just like her. "Need an attorney? I got a guy". "Need a home inspector? I got a guy" (This is New Jersey, after all...). Even after the sale she supplied us with names and numbers of handymen, floor experts, plumbers, you name it. Throughout the buying process, she was always there to text or call. There was no such thing as a stupid question. (And we had a bunch of them...) They were all answered. She was such a fantastic communications bridge between us, the listing agent, our attorney, and the HOA. My wife and I highly recommend Linda. We have every confidence that you will be pleased with the detailed service she will render you. We were so lucky we found her. She's the first friend we've made in our new neighborhood and we will remain in touch with her. She told us to call anytime if we need a recommendation. We will. And we will call to invite her for cocktails once the place is decorated!

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!

“We are extremely happy with Sabrina’s performance! She is a very hard worker and always responded to our calls and texts promptly. She answered all of our questions and took care of many “hands on” issues for us since we lived over 4 hours away. Thank you Sabrina for your guidance and professionalism. We look forward to working with you again.”

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Shelley and Gary Elliott for all your real estate needs. They went above and beyond to list and sell my brother's home. From the very beginning, Shelley and Gary took the time to meet with me on Memorial Day, since I was in town for only a short time. They were able to understand my needs and provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process. When I had to return home, they spent countless hours overseeing the work that needed to be done on my brother's home. Gary kept me updated every step of the way with photos, videos and texts. Since I could not be there, they recommended and lined up reputable resources to complete the work that needed to be done. Shelley was always honest and transparent with me. She was always available to answer my many questions and concerns. Shelley walked me through the process step by step, even though I was out of state. I highly recommend Shelley and Gary to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. They are true professionals. They will work tirelessly to ensure that their client's needs are met. Thank you for everything!

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.

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.

“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 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.
