“ 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!”
"Buying a house with Cort Lifestyle Pros was like having dinner with old friends. They helped us with every step of the process and anticipated our needs. Daniel and Debbie Cort went above and beyond before, during and after our home purchase. We will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.”
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.
Shelley & Gary are top-notch! We worked with them from 700 miles away for nearly 2 years as our relocation plans came together and we couldn't be happier! They listened to our future vision, took the ball and ran with it. They helped us zero in on exactly what our wants and needs were -- from the desired neighborhood to the specifics on the interior of the home. Even as all of those wants and needs evolved, they rolled with the punches and never gave up until they found the PERFECT home for us. We could not be happier with our new home and our decision to work with Shelley and Gary!
It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Andy Twisdale as a realtor on Hilton Head Island. In my view, Andy has the complete package of what someone who is selling a home in this highly competitive HHI market would want. His attributes include local knowledge (experience), a positive personality (responsiveness and communication) and perseverance to identify the best prospects. He has a knack to quickly assess which prospective buyers are genuine prospects and which are just tire kickers. He impressed me with his responsiveness -- keeping me in touch throughout the process, and he provided valuable tips on how to maintain our home looking its best at all times even though my wife and I both had full time jobs. He has lived on HHI for more than 45 years and is very involved in the community which proved to be a real asset and has earned him high respect of his peers in the realtor community.
Quick Sale - No Headaches! Delcher & Delcher delivered as promised. Would highly recommend.
We are so excited about our move to Colleton River. Thank you so much for your guidance and knowledge of the Bluffton area to get us across the finish line.
As first time homebuyers and now owners! We were beyond grateful for how Sander’s helped us during this process and how he made a way for us against all odds (LITERALLY: market being crazy high, outside of our budget, and the island being in such high demands) somehow, sanders made a miracle take place for us and we are truly grateful! Sanders was also incredibly communicative and very articulate in helping us understand the process from beginning to end. Honestly, the professionalism exceeded our expectations and we wouldn’t have wanted to be with any other realtor!
"Excellent experience with Daniel and Debbie. They are honest, hard working and truly had our interest in mind. When they say no pressure, they meant it. Nothing but helpful through our entire experience. I’d highly recommend using their services."
I want to thank Shelley and Gary Elliott for listing and selling my property. I spent the whole time in my easy chair while they did all the work. The phone calls to sell my furnishings that I was not taking with me. Setting up the mover to come and take my possessions to my new residence. They even contacted the people where I’m going to find out if everything was in place so that there would not be any hiccups. They arranged to have some ladies come in and pack up all my belongings that I was taking with me. Again, I spent my whole time in my easy chair.
James [Wedgeworth] brought a lifetime of experience and knowledge to bear when selling our home. In addition, James has assembled a team of professionals around him to make the process efficient and most productive. When you hire James and his team you eliminate a great deal risk in the process
“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!!”
Our relationship with Monica and her team spans 20 years, comprised of buying and selling an oceanfront villa and penthouse and finally buying the oceanfront forever home of our dreams! Monica has been there every step of the way handling ALL the details that might be typical and so many that were not. It is all but impossible to describe the value that Monica brings to the table as a seasoned expert in the field of real estate. The first thing that comes to mind, though, is that relationship is her priority over real estate, and by genuinely focusing on the client relationship, she delivers in the best possible way! Manageable accessibility for our daughter with special needs was one of the MANY boxes that had to be checked, and Monica often personally previewed homes to ensure that it was. As her client, we always knew her #1 concert was whether or not the home we were looking at would suit our needs and provide us with enjoyment for years to come.The only concern with having recently purchased our dream home is that we’re worried we won’t see Monica as frequently!
Richard is the absolute best real estate agent. He is kind, attentive, on top of things, knowledgeable of the market, and very professional. We couldn't have had a better agent.
It is rare in today’s world that we have the privilege of working with a realtor with as much honesty and integrity as Keene. We worked with Keene to find the perfect building lot on Palmetto Bluff and he exceeded our expectations. Very informative, no pressure and excellent service.
We were introduced to Duke when we realized we wanted to make Berkeley Hall our home. South Carolina is a new adventure for us! We so enjoyed working with him. Duke was very knowledgeable about the lots that were available and couldn’t do enough to answer our questions. We had an easy process picking our lot and he was helpful during the building process. He guided us with our homeowner’s insurance and home inspection. We would highly recommend Duke if you plan to live in the Bluffton area.
Diane and her team went above and beyond to help us through the process of selling our home. Initially, they created a strong marketing brochure that attracted potential buyers and used their extensive knowledge of the local market to cultivate buyers. Her patience, timely communication, and guidance made all the difference as we worked through challenges with buyers, inspections, and all the other steps of selling. It is easy for a realtor to be “hands on” when a house sells quickly, but Diane stayed the course with us and her guidance ultimately helped us sell our home at the price we wanted. If you want a realtor that will be with you through every step of this process, Diane and her team should be your first choice!
It was serendipity that brought us together with Marisa as we began our exploration of the Lowcountry and Bluffton area, in general. And it all blossomed from there.
Marisa is fun and friendly, which make long days of touring communities and houses a whole lot more enjoyable. And she is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the process. We truly enjoyed her approach of introducing us first to the communities and helping us narrow down the list of choices to a much more manageable subset. She took the time to get to know us and try to understand how we described our likes and wants, so she could help us to first identify the community that is right for us. And she explained why this is an important step in the process. Because we were coming in from out of town, she did a very nice job of being our “boots on the ground“.
Marisa is also very professional and helped us through the entire home buying process. As others have noted, her service and care extended beyond signing the contract, as she helped us with utilities, with ideas about where to purchase furniture, etc. We are pleased to call Marisa a friend, now, and highly recommend her.
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.
Andy Twisdale was so helpful with the purchase of my wonderful home in Hilton Head. Because he is so connected to the Island and an experienced agent, the purchase and closing went smoothly, and he was able to provide much help with recommendations on various contractors. He knew when to push back in the purchase process and was a good advocate for me. He was professional and kind. I highly recommend Andy as an agent.
My husband Chuck and I decided to build a new home at Belfair. Given that the new home was supposed to be completed by the Fall of 2020, we had to select a realtor to sell our existing home at 45 Newberry Court. The decision was a pretty easy one as we had many friends who highly recommended that we use Diana Sroufe. Diana lives at Belfair and knows the real estate market inside and out. She recommended that we put the house on the market in the first quarter of 2020, about 6 months prior to completion of the new home. From the start, Diana worked tirelessly to help us prepare our home for sale and we had quite a bit of interest early on, including a few offers, none of which panned out. Then Covid hit and put an abrupt halt to the all-important spring selling season. Throughout this time, Diana continued to market our home and to provide positive encouragement that with patience our home would sell. As soon as the Fall hit, the real estate market took off with a vengeance. Diana became super busy with many listings, but she still made us feel that our home was the one she had listed. We finally accepted an offer in October and Diana was with us right through closing in November. We have been thrilled with Diana’s knowledge of the real estate industry and her professionalism throughout the real estate transaction process. She is also a fellow golfer and a friend. We can’t imagine using any other realtor to represent us if/when we decide to enter the real estate market in the future.
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!
“Sabrina Zeoli is fantastic! She worked with my husband and I to find the perfect second home on Hilton Head Island. She was patient and always available. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. She was very supportive from the beginning to the end of our home buying experience. She made the whole process seamless. It is evident that Sabrina cares about her clients and her community. We would love to work with her again in the future!”
“Sabrina went above and beyond to ensure my relocation from NY to Bluffton would be smooth. She listened to what I thought I wanted (which were two different things) and patiently showed me many options, while being knowledgeable of the area. Sabrina diligently monitored coming soon listings and ultimately did a virtual tour for me – my home that I purchased without ever being in it myself. I was out of state and Sabrina was there for each step of the way. I absolutely trust and recommend Sabrina!”
"Kara and Matt are FANTASTIC!!! They made the selling and buying process so easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. They go above and beyond to make the process transparent and easy. Their promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, and kindness made them enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend Team Raehn!"
Rob Moore of Patrick and Taylor Real Estate at Charter One Realty, successfully sold our condo at full asking price. He was extremely professional, and very easy to deal with. Rob, acting as a sellers agent, made a long distance transaction seamless and uncomplicated. If ever we need a realtor again, he would be our first and ONLY choice. Thanks again for a job well done!
"We were lucky to find Shelley & Gary. We don’t live in the area and had only visited the island twice before realizing we wanted to buy an investment property. Shelley and Gary took the time to understand what we wanted and worked diligently to find it for us. They always responded to our questions quickly and clearly communicated with us and those involved in our purchase. They also referred us to their trusted resources to help us close on our property without a hitch, despite us living in Colorado and amidst the global health pandemic. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor in the area. Simply put – they are exactly what a buyer wants and needs, and yet, they still go above and beyond for their clients."
Tom represented us in both the selling of our home and the purchase of a new home. We found him to be knowledgeable, courteous and attentive. He helped us successfully navigate through several difficult issues. He was able to recommend other personnel we needed which helped move the process along smoothly. Tom’s amiable personality made the overall experience very pleasant. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Tom to our family and friends.
There are a lot of realtors on Hilton Head Island that do not work very hard. This is not the case with Herman & Davis Properties! They are aggressive in the marketplace and do an excellent job of customer relations and follow-though, all with a high degree of integrity and accountability. Highly recommended
It is our pleasure to say that Diana did an exemplary job in managing the sale of our house. Not only did she list it, but also sold it in less than one week! She went above and beyond the call of duty when marketing our home- her work ethic is truly admirable.
