I became acquainted with Christina Forbis at Charter One through her marketing of listings in my neighborhood. After a phone call and meeting with Christina to discuss my wants and needs I was favorably impressed and knew I wanted to be working with her. All her suggestions to market my listing were made to put my home in the best possible light. While I may have sputtered to myself at times there is no doubt she is the expert! I felt my interests were her priority. She was available, always a source of support and expertise. I would highly recommend Christina Forbis as a professional realtor who will look out for your best interests.
Our experience with Christina Forbis in purchasing a house on Hilton Head Island couldn’t have been better! Her ability to dial in a house for our needs, and point us in the right direction was fantastic. During the process of closing on the house, her communication was outstanding in solving any problems. After we purchased the house, her help and guidance in selecting the right contractors for our remodel needs was invaluable. It certainly helps to have a person who is dialed in on Hilton Head Island!
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!
Christina is an excellent agent who knows her job and performed it superbly. Christina provided exceptional help in listing and selling our Condo. She helped develop an appropriate selling price, prepared excellent sales materials, and guided us through a very successful negotiation process. We are grateful to her for managing the repairs that were required without our involvement. She made this a very easy task for us. It was effortless on our part. Thank you, Christina!
Having lived on the island for many years, we have heard many of our neighbors say “if you want the best, you hire Christina”. We realized how true this was when we decided to list our home. Christina was exceptional in managing the entire experience - starting with 4 offers in the first two weeks of listing and managing the entire process to closing. Christina goes above and beyond in utilizing her entire personal and professional network to make the selling experience successful - she is truly an exceptional agent, second to none. We highly recommend Christina to anybody considering buying or selling a home on the island!
Christina has been our realtor for the past five years. We were searching for the “perfect spot” at Hilton head and she helped us find a lovely one! She was very patient during our long search of properties. She was always available, courteous, and professional. Christina went above and beyond what would be expected by a real estate agent. Bud and I appreciate her help and recommend Christina highly!
We contacted Christina Forbis because we had heard from friends that she was the best on the Island, that turned out to be completely accurate. She responded immediately and was very accessible. She used the first day to show us areas that we were interested in. By the second day she hit the nail on the head. We found a property in the Port Royal Plantation that was perfect, she got us the home of our dreams! That was only the beginning of all of the work she did for us. She coordinated every step after that and made the transition easy. We can't say enough great things about Christina’s professionalism. We also feel like we made a new friend. She is super easy to talk to, we had a lot of laughs and now we are looking forward to being her neighbor in beautiful Port Royal.
Choosing Christina Forbis to assist us with purchasing a home on Hilton Head Island was the best decision we could have made.
Over the years we have used the services of a number of listening and selling agents; Christina was, by far, the best we have ever encountered.
Christina exceeded all of our expectations with her advice, counsel, professionalism, service and responsiveness. As an example, Christina educated and counseled us on the current flood elevation laws, and the effect of a homes elevation on flood insurance rates. In addition, she did not hesitate to give us her opinion when she believed a home was not fairly priced in relations to its true market value.
She was there for us every step of the way, helping with even the smallest details. Even after closing, when most agents are nowhere to be found, Christina assisted us with other details, too many to identify here.
Should there be a future need, we would enthusiastically use Christina’s services again, and we highly recommend that anyone either purchasing or listing their home, partner with Christina.
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’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.
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.
We had an amazing experience with Christina! From our first meeting, she was professional and easy to communicate with. You can tell that she is a real "go getter"! She worked so hard with us and provided great advice and feedback from start to finish. Selling a home during this Covid-19 pandemic was uncharted territory for all of us and she kept us grounded and got the job done in less than a month from list to close. You won't be disappointed with Christina, she is the real deal!
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!
Multiple friends recommended that we contact Christina Forbis to sell our home on Hilton Head Island, and we are so glad that they did. Christina provided us with valuable advice on the pricing of our home, because she knows the market so well. She negotiated to sell our home for more than we expected. She sold the house the first day that it was on the market. She added clauses to the standard contract that benefited us greatly. This is the first time that we have sold a home (even though we are in our seventies) and she held our hands every step of the way. She is truly a professional full service broker. Plus, she is a fine person. Christina has our highest recommendation.
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.
Our introduction to Cristina was through the purchase of our new home in Port Royal, in which she represented the sellers of the house we ended up buying. We agreed to a dual agent relationship whereby she handled both sides of the transaction. Admittedly, we had some concerns about conflicts of interest but those were quickly allayed as she handled matters like a true pro. We never felt like we were being played off against the other side, and that all negotiated points were balanced with an aim to closing the deal. We had confidence in her ability to represent our interests fairly and genuinely throughout a process that went smoothly and with hardly any issues. Even after the closing, Christina continues to be a resource. As we are new to the HHI community, she’s provided valuable information that has enabled us to transition easily into our new home. We stay in contact with her on a regular basis and she’s always available to take our call. We consider her a friend and are very fortunate to have her counsel and assistance as needed.
Christina [Forbis] consistently proved passion and tenacity by keeping a dedicated close watch on every aspect of the transaction. She offered her intimate knowledge of the local market as well as professionally navigating the complicated short sale process each step of the way.
I could not give Christina Forbis a higher recommendation to be your real estate agent It was a very, very difficult decision to put our family home up for sale. Thankfully, we listened to a recommendation to talk with Christina. It very quickly became apparent that she was the person to help us. Not only did she fully grasp all aspects of the real estate market, but truly empathized with the emotional impact to our family to have to say goodbye to a place we all loved. We live out of state and needed a person that had superior customer service and was a good communicator. Christina was with us every step of the way and kept us regularly informed on the status of the sale. Christina also carefully and masterfully guided us in each step of the sale. From setting the selling price, staging of the home, navigating thru multiple offers and bringing the accepted offer to a closed sale. She was excellent in negotiations with prospective buyers and helped us to obtain the best possible price on the sale. Christina also has excellent contacts in the area and referred us to several individuals that were professional, nice to work with, and important links to help with the sale of the home. In summary, Christina is not only a top-tier real estate agent in all business aspects, but also a professional and fantastic person to work with.
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.

We recently sold our home on Hilton Head through Christina Forbis. We have known her for several years and found her a warm, compassionate and completely trustworthy person. She has extensive knowledge of the island realty market as well as workers, agents, bankers, service people and contractors.. Selling a home usually entails some degree of stress for the sellers. Not so with her. Working with Christina was a pleasure and effortless with us. She leaves no loose ends and was always available to answer our questions and concerns. She was relentless in her work, always showing and promoting our home to potential buyers. As we live out of state,Christina was kind enough to handle many of our last minute details on her own time. She loves her work, is a true professional and a wonderful friend. All her hard work produced a buyer with a good cash offer. Needless to say we were very pleased. Thank You Christina!
Christina Forbis was absolutely one of the best real estate agents that we have every dealt with. She is very knowledgeable and knows the market of the area that she serves. She is super attentive and responds quickly. She sold our house in record time. Thanks so much.
We recently purchased a home in Hilton Head Island. We are moving from out of state so that presented its own set of problems. The transaction couldn’t have gone smoother. Let me start by saying we have bought and sold several properties and normally don’t use a realtor. When we purchase our next few rentals on the island we will absolutely use Christina Forbis. She thought of everything, she was responsive, kind, genuine, honest, and upfront. She knows how to do her job and then exceeds your expectations. You are in good hands if you choose Christina as your realtor. Her knowledge of the area is priceless.
Christina Forbis did a wonderful job in preparing, selling, and following up in the selling of our Port Royal Plantation home. She started the process by coming up with just the right sales price (a science in and of itself), so exact the house sold within a week after it went on the market. Christina was enormously helpful in suggesting names of people who could help us in our move and frequently checked in and solicited feedback. Not only a first-class real estate salesperson but one who cares deeply of her clients. She was a pleasure to work with, and we recommend Christina without hesitation or reservation.
We have used Christina to represent us in the past. When it came time to sell our Port Royal Home, we knew who to call. Christina made the sale of our home so easy. At our 1st meeting, she quickly and efficiently explained the complicated documents. Christina advised us on preparing our home to present to prospective buyers. We had over 25 showings! We received multiple offers and once again, she guided us with suggestions to facilitate the best offer and terms. Christina’s advise was extremely important. Christina is GREAT!
In 2014, Christina helped us find our “forever home” in our “forever community.” Our daughters settled in the region, and now 5 grandchildren later we needed more room. Christina helped us develop a buy/sell strategy as well as navigate one of the more dynamic real estate markets in years. Christina’s professionalism and attention to details are unparalleled. We successfully purchased on next “forever home” in the same community we have grown to love – Port Royal Plantation. If you can imagine it, Christina can make it happen- I have seen her do it!
Christina did a wonderful, professional job selling my mother's house. The whole process, from signing her listing contract to the closing at the attorney's office, was a breeze...because she knows what she's doing. She convinced me she would get more money for the sale of the house than I could trying to sell it on my own...and she did! I was going to be away for the summer and knew I could trust her to take care of anything that might come up. She took time to do the extra things too...the house was empty, so she did house checks to make sure everything was OK. She even arranged to have a fallen large tree branch removed from the property. I have no hesitation in saying you won't be disappointed with her commitment to selling your house.
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 met Christina when looking at a house she was showing. She had also been recommended by the agent who helped us find our previous home on Hilton Head and was now retired. After falling in love with the home, we asked Christina to look at our existing home and ended up having her list it. She did an excellent job marketing our home and was on site for issues that arose when we were out of town. When a seemingly good offer was made, we accepted and Christina became our battlefield commander as the pending sale turned into a nightmare of frivolous issues from the other party. Her professional demeanor and extensive experience guided us through the quagmire and resulted in closing successfully. We highly recommend Christina as an excellent realtor and as importantly, a really good person!
