We recently had the opportunity to work with Alec Smith on the sale of our property at Bull Point (Seabrook, SC). At every step of the process, Alec was proactive, responsive, professional and committed to getting our land sold. We are happy with his expertise and the results achieved and would not hesitate to recommend Alec.

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 all know the stress involved when selling or buying real estate and Brad [Wilson] has the ability to make all involved feel save and secure with one of the largest financial transactions of their life. His knowledge, and marketing and negotiation skills are superior to anyone I have ever experienced in the real estate industry. We were able to sell our house within a very short period of time for almost the full asking price and in this economy that is quite an accomplishment."

What a team! Shelley and Gary really understood what we were looking for and guided us to find our home. They were extremely knowledgeable and aided us in every step of the buying process. They are invested in their clients and make sure that everything goes smoothly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants top rate service.

"Matt was tremendous to work with from start to finish in the home buying process. He had great working knowledge and insights into the area, a friendly, professional communication style and took the time to understand what we were looking for and then applied that understanding to the houses he showed us. He expertly negotiated the deal and got the price and terms we wanted in a competitive situation. But what impressed me the most was Matt’s responsiveness - unbelievable throughout the sale process and after. Whether by email, text or phone call, he always quickly got back to us even if it was only to acknowledge the message. So few people do that anymore. We always felt we had a true partner throughout the buying process and we can’t recommend Matt more highly if you need a real estate 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."

If anyone is looking to sell or buy a home, Lonnie Goulet is the realtor to contact. She goes above and beyond to make what can be a difficult experience, turn into an easy transition. She will jump in to help even if it is not part of her job. This is our second experience working with Lonnie and never once has she tried to mislead us to make a sale. She is such an HONEST LADY...... and a Beautiful one to boot......Highly recommend Her....

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!

10 out of 5 Stars! Julianne is the quintessential realtor…leaves no stone unturned in order to consummate the transaction…if you choose someone else, you haven’t chosen the best.

We worked with Drew on the sale of 8 Larium and could not be happier with Drew and Kim’s market knowledge, follow-through, and negotiation on behalf of us as a seller. Drew stayed in constant contact with each of us throughout the process, which was greatly appreciated. Their team struck a balance on necessary repairs and what was needed to position the house to sell. We would recommend Drew and his team to anyone looking for a realtor that has his seller’s best interest at the fore. Thank you, Drew and Kim!

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.

"Sabrina is amazing, she took the time to really get to know us and understand what type of property we were looking for. Her knowledge of real estate in general, and Hilton Head specifically, was invaluable as we are not from the area. Sabrina is an excellent communicator so we felt like we always knew exactly what was happening during what was, for us, a very quick offer to close situation. Sabrina went above and beyond what I would expect from any realtor. Even after we closed she has continued to stay in touch and been a resource. This is especially comforting as we do not live locally and it is wonderful to have someone in Hilton Head to touch base with if we have any concerns. Most importantly, Sabrina is an incredibly warm and caring person. She never pressured us and throughout the entire buying process it was clear that ultimately her goal was for us to find a very special home in Hilton Head. We feel very fortunate to have connected with Sabrina and highly recommend her!"

We were referred to Christina Forbis by a friend and as soon as we met her we knew that she was going to be awesome and the one who we wanted to work with! Her professionalism is exceptional, her enthusiasm even better! She truly cared about our lives and listened to our goals, as we trusted her suggestions and honest advise. Christina was extremely prepared, experienced and determined, handling every detail and situation with attention and respect. Throughout our experience Christina went above and beyond to help us in every way which made our experience a pleasant and successful one.  She managed our home when it snowed, organized a home furniture sale, and guided us at every junction to make this sale happen, and in the end also aided in the purchase of condo! We appreciate everything she did for us and would highly recommend Christina, our new friend, to anyone interested in selling or buying! She made it fun!

When we decided to move to Hilton Head, we were told the only real estate agents to use were the Reed Team.  After buying and selling four properties using them, we couldn’t agree more.   They know the market extremely well. In addition, they really tried to learn our goals, and then match properties to meet those goals.  Our first property was an ocean front house, that we rented for 3 years until we tore it down to build our dream house.  The advice we were given by the Reed Team during that time proved to be right on.  The other transactions were for investment reasons, and they all exceeded our goals as well.   There are three things we especially liked about dealing with the Reed Team; first, they would tell us exactly how they felt about a property, and actually steered us away from some we liked. Secondly, they have a very practical, common sense approach about real estate deals. And thirdly, they worked hard on building long-term relationships, they weren’t just transaction processors. They stayed very involved during escrow and way past the closings, ensuring that the deal got done to our satisfaction. We only wish they had an office in southern California when we relocated here.

We owned a Sea Pines townhouse and our desire was to sell that property and buy a single-family residence. We were introduced to Andy Reed and that turned out to be a huge positive as we were able to sell our townhouse in a few short weeks and later buy a residence that matched just what we were looking for.  Andy and his team listened to our wishes and fulfilled our goal. They are extremely professional, know the local marketplace and easy to work with. We have made new friends.

Her attention to detail, organization and common sense approach to all aspects of selling our property made it seamless from start to finish. Sabrina was wonderful and the added bonus is we made a new friend. Thank you Sabrina!!"

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.

We recently sold a property and had the pleasure of working with Sabrina. She is extremely knowledgeable in the process and was quite helpful in all aspects of our transaction. She made herself available to us, whenever we needed. She is energetic and enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services and we look forward to working with her in the future. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

We have had the pleasure of working with Andy Reed on three real estate transactions.  We have bought, sold, and bought again with Andy.  It took us a couple of years to decide to sell our first house and buy something else.  Andy was extremely patient with us.  We never felt pressured to do something we weren’t ready to do.  His knowledge of the market and experience is vast which helped us in getting top dollar for our home and the best deal we could on our new property.  Communication is key when buying and selling real estate from a far.  Andy and his assistant, Ashley, were phenomenal communicators and handled every minute detail for us.  I don’t know what we would have done without them.  I don’t know what the future holds, but rest assured, if I buy or sell another property in Hilton Head, Andy Reed will be the first phone call I make.

Selling a house is not easy for the seller or their agent. Emotions, economics, and the many variables in between can make for a stressful situation all around. Thankfully, we had Diana (first as our longtime friend then as our agent) to guide us through the process with resounding success. From pricing to staging to negotiating, Diana was always there for us. Her work ethic and attention to detail are second-to-none. Diana got us the price we were looking for and was a very effective liaison between us and the eventual buyer. Heck, she even arranged for some of our furnishings to be sold at auction after the transaction closed! And did we mention she knows Belfair better than anyone on the planet?! Thank you Diana for helping us start a new chapter in our lives….

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.

"Excellent experience! Austin was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of selling our house. Austin was always available when we had questions or need help understanding the selling process. Even though he had other clients, he treats you and is available to you like you’re his only client. I highly recommend Austin if you and your family is interested buying or selling a home!"

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.
