I called Sara about a year ago regarding one of her listings. I explained that we were living out of state, but our daughter and her husband had built a home in The Lakes at New Riverside, which was where Sara’s listing was located. She gave me more than an hour of her time and said to me, ‘Keep in touch, and I’ll show you all the different neighborhoods once you and your husband come down for a visit.’ She was so professional and kind that I knew I had found the perfect Realtor. After we came to visit, Sara spent so much time organizing house showings and helped us realize something we didn’t even know about ourselves, that a 55+ neighborhood was the perfect fit for us. After viewing The Haven and Four Seasons, both of which had so much to offer, we were incredibly excited about the possibility of calling one of them home. After much consideration, we chose a new build in Four Seasons. Sara was there every step of the way. Since we lived out of state, she would check on the progress and send us pictures and videos. She was so efficient and caring, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her work ethic and loyalty! We have now closed our home and are preparing to become full-time residents of Bluffton. Having Sara by our side throughout the entire process has been wonderful! I highly recommend Sara, and I have friends in New York who are looking to relocate in the near future. Sara will definitely be working with them based on my wonderful experience. I know Sara started out as my Realtor, but honestly, she has become part of my family and is now someone I am proud to call my friend. I know that once you use Sara for your real estate needs, you will feel the same.

We recently purchased a home in Bluffton and had the pleasure of working with Sara Huiss throughout the transaction. From our initial property search through closing, Sara was responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. She was always available to answer questions, coordinate inspections, gather information, and keep the process moving forward. What we appreciated most was her willingness to go above and beyond. She took the time to introduce us to the equestrian facilities within Rose Dhu Creek Plantation and helped arrange conversations with people in the community so that we could better understand the neighborhood and its amenities. That extra effort was extremely helpful and gave us confidence in our decision. Sara was an effective advocate for our interests and helped make what could have been a complicated transaction much smoother. We are very pleased with our experience and would not hesitate to recommend Sara to anyone buying or selling property in the Bluffton area.

Sara was amazing - top notch, very professional and handled our sale with perfection. This was especially impressive given the challenging market we are in. She used her network effectively and was able to structure a creative deal that not only got us 5 offers in 3 days, but helped us land on the best one for our circumstances. - Highly recommended.

I first met Sara Huiss before she was even practicing real estate in South Carolina. She came with her Realtor to see one of my listings in Belfair while she was looking for a home in Bluffton. Sara was already a licensed Realtor in Washington, D.C., and ultimately purchased the home. That transaction was the beginning of a relationship that has grown over the years from Realtor and buyer to colleagues and, most importantly, friends. As Sara established her real estate career here, we stayed in touch. Even when we were with different companies, we shared listings, information and ideas. When Sara was considering moving her license to Charter One Realty, she reached out to me. We sat down together and talked openly about what I thought the pros and cons would be for her. I believed she would be a wonderful fit for Charter One, but I also knew something else—Sara was going to be successful wherever she chose to work because of who she is. Sara is engaging, positive and genuinely interested in people. She is also incredibly generous professionally. Today we talk almost every week about our businesses, sharing ideas, concepts and materials with one another. There is no sense of keeping a good idea to yourself. If Sara discovers something that might help me, she shares it—and I try to do the same for her. I have loved watching Sara's career grow and am delighted that today we are fellow Charter One Realty agents. Real estate may be a competitive business, but relationships like the one Sara and I share remind me that we can learn from one another, support one another and still each build our own successful businesses. I value Sara as a colleague and, even more, as a friend.
