Neil [Castellane] handled the sale of my condo, my husband’s condo, and subsequently the purchase of our beautiful new home on the island. Neil walked us through all of the steps and explained things in a way that was easily understandable (even the complicated paperwork). He provided a wealth of information when we had questions, and made excellent recommendations. He was very detail-oriented and told us what to expect, what items of the transaction we would be responsible for in each instance (whether buying or selling), and what kind of timeframe to expect. He kept things moving in a timely manner and was easily accessible when we had questions or needed information. Neil treats you like a PERSON - not a dollar sign, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent in the area!

Whether you are buying or selling, Diana Sroufe is the “go to” realtor in Bluffton and the Lowcountry! In our case, she hit home runs for us on both the buy- and sell-side. Diana
successfully sold our first home in Belfair for a price that we were very happy with and worked with us to negotiate the purchase of another beautiful home in the same community. Both transactions required a shrewd understanding of the market dynamics and the “unique selling proposition” of each home. Diana worked with us to showcase our former home and, via FaceTime with out-of-state buyers, made the sale and quickly closed the deal. She also went above and beyond the call of duty to bring a challenging negotiation for our new home purchase to a satisfactory conclusion. We would not have closed that transaction without Diana. Also, as wonderful as Diana is, I’d like to give a shout-out to her team at Charter One, Amy, and Terry, whose help was invaluable. You can’t go wrong with Team Sroufe!

Richard was very helpful with his knowledge of contractors and other service providers on Hilton Head. When we first purchased in 2014 through the sale of home in 2020 we occasionally called him for suggestions. The providers he gave us were always timely and competitive pricewise.

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.

Randy Fix was incredible to work with on the purchase of my new home in Bluffton. When I started looking at homes, Randy was a patient and really listened to the needs and aspects that I wanted in my new home. He was able to provide great options and I was able to select a perfect home that checked every box. Besides being an all around super person, Randy is extremely knowledgeable about the area and was able to provide excellent guidance during the process. From the very first day that we met to the day I closed, Randy was always there to support and help me with my home purchase. He acts with great integrity which was very important to me and it was clear that he is respected in the community. Randy has an easy going personality but don't be fooled, he gets the job done efficiently, quickly and perfectly. If I ever need help with real estate in the area, I will use him again and recommend him to anyone who needs help. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because he deserves them!

My husband and I were treated as if we were the only client and our agent negotiated the entire sale with our best interests in mind. I never realized how valuable that was until I experienced it. Outstanding experience!

I have known Les Jones of Charter One Realty for years. He has assisted me with our real estate needs a number of times. He is very professional, experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and, perhaps most important, patient. I recommend him highly.

Hilton Head and surrounding area is fortunate to have Charlie Reed and the Reed family as long time residents and contributing members to our local community. Qualities such as honesty, integrity and hard work clearly define Charlie and set the standard for the entire Reed Team at Charter One. Personally I value their direct and candid advice and greatly value their knowledge of the area real estate market. In handling our real estate needs, we have chosen the Reed Team to represent us whether it has been in the purchase of a property, selling our home, selecting an architect or a builder for a new home.

Ric: We wanted to thank you and those working with you for the stellar efforts you made in selling our home in near-record time. When we met you on that Sunday afternoon, we hadn't completely made up our mind we were ready to go through such an arduous procedure, but you made the process so effortless, on our part, that it erased all those fears. Selling a home is a very emotional time, but it was listed and sold so fast, those fears were minimized. Our road to closing was a bit bumpy only because we wished to lease our house back until the house we are building is finished, but your diligent work in accomplishing that task is much more than appreciated. Moving once is difficult but moving twice is a near impossible effort, at any stage. Selling our home was not an easy decision to make but with your guidance and help we not only decided to sell but we now know it was the right thing to do.

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!

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.

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.

I asked Christina Forbis to handle the sale of my Port Royal home because I appreciated the way she represented the sellers when I bought my home and because I knew of her outstanding reputation in the community. I was never disappointed. At every point in the sale, she went above and beyond what you might expect from a realtor.  No matter how busy she was, she always made me feel like I was her top priority. Christina provides a concierge level experience, dealing with all issues with grace and professionalism.

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.

Having been displaced by Hurricane Sandy a year ago, I was happy to be rescued by Brad Wilson. With his enthusiastic support and uderstanding of my needs, he has helped me to purchase two condos on the sialnd. His vast knowledge of the current market conditions and communities made it easier for me to make an informed decision. Brad is not only a superb Realtor but has now become a great friend.

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.

We had the pleasure to work with Drew recently, representing us in two real estate transactions, buying and selling. Drew made these transactions completely uneventful and extremely easy. We liked his communication style and sense of urgency. We described to him the characteristics of the property we were looking for and he provided a package with valuable detailed information for us to evaluate the properties during the showings. We were able to make our decision immediately after the showings. Based on our experience, Drew cares genuinely about his customers. He is very professional, experienced, and trustworthy. We will definitely work with Drew on our next real estate transaction and we highly recommend him to anyone.
