Working with Steve Harmon has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. When I began the journey of searching for properties on Hilton Head Island, I never imagined I would - or could - buy a home sight unseen. Steve was the ultimate partner, not only in finding wonderful candidates, but also by being a second set of eyes and feet on the ground. Steve toured properties for me, and even with me via Facetime. When I found a property that I loved, Steve coached me through a highly competitive offer process, helping me to strengthen my offer and to make it the most attractive option for the buyers.After my offer was accepted, Steve negotiated and handled a closing punch list for the seller to implement, and then introduced me to a network of local Inspectors, Closing Lawyers and Insurance Agents - truly a gift as I negotiated this process from thousands of miles away. His help didn't stop there ... after moving in, when the AC failed, Steve had an HVAC team at my place immediately. When we needed an electrician and plumber for home renovations and projects, Steve had us covered. He has been the best resource from day one, and someone that I trust for advice on an ongoing basis.This may very well be my dream home that I'm living in, but if it's not, I know exactly who I'll be calling to assist me in my search for the next one.

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.

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.

“Sabrina’s not just a great Hilton Head realtor, she’s a super-fantastic one! Sort of like a one-person welcome committee, providing useful tips and advice for what a newcomer needs to know about the housing market, specific homes and the local area. She treated my husband and I as if we were her ONLY clients. She made time for us. She got to know us and our housing preferences. And she sold us the house of our dreams in a very short period of time. But she didn’t stop there. She helped us secure temporary housing prior to our closing. She recommended great trades people, landscaper, cleaner, attorney and even restaurants. She also recommended a mover to the seller when they couldn’t find one that met our deadline. In short, Sabrina goes above and beyond, is passionate about what she does and, most of all, is someone who cares.”

Alec did an outstanding job assisting with the purchase of a vacant lot on Lady’s Island. It is the ideal location for me to look at developing in the future. Alec was patient with listening to my wants and desires for the lot and took the time to review everything about the lot with me. His negotiating skills helped to secure the lot for the price I was willing to pay. Alec and his family will forever be considered friends and I know I will be working with Alec again in the future.

As Jane and I sit in our incredible new home, we reflect on how we got here. As a couple that has moved 8 times, you are without a doubt the best realtor we have ever worked with. I realize I am not the easiest person to please, yet at every turn, you were there with a calmness to help us through the process. Your ability to find a home that suited both of us was not an easy task, yet your determination never wavered. You negotiated a very good price for us, and even after the sale, you continue to help us with anything that comes up; be it following up with the builder, recommending places to eat, or even finding us a handyman. You even delivered us a warm meal while we were unpacking. You can’t imagine how much that meant to us. To put it simply, Jack Menzie is the best realtor we have ever worked with.  Determined, thorough, honest, transparent, and willing to help at every turn. On top of that, we feel we gained a friend. Our gratitude is deep, and we are happy to share your good work with anyone.  Please don’t hesitate to ask if there is anything we can do for you. We came to you looking for a house, and you found us a home. Many thanks Jack, well done!!!

“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!”

Alec Smith has been our Realtor in two very successful real estate transactions in the past year, the sale of a spec house and a personal residence. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to navigate thru the demanding sales process are unmatched, and it has been a pleasure working with him.

When moving to Beaufort and deciding we wanted to buy instead of continuing to rent, we met Alec. Alec helped us buy our first home and was the best realtor anybody could ask for. It was a home we wanted to keep forever, but upon receiving a job offer on the other side of the country we turned to him once more to help us sell our home. Once again, Alec exceeded our expectations and helped us sell our home and get the best deal possible. He works around the clock and is always available anytime you need him during the process. His knowledge of the local area and of the home buying/selling process is unparalleled. I honestly cannot imagine using a different realtor because Alec made both buying and selling our home as stress free as possible so that we could focus on other aspects of our move and life. I highly recommend you get in contact with Alec to buy or sell your home. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Thanks again for everything Alec!

Andy, we really appreciate your diligent professionalism in obtaining a buyer for our lot. Your guidance was right on the mark and the sale went through without a hitch. You and your team are great and deserve all the kudos in the world. Thanks for all of your help.

“The formula for Sabrina's success is based on three simple tenets: honesty, persistence and an unparalleled commitment to us. This was not our first rodeo in searching to make a change, and we benefited from Sabrina's proven sales record, smart negotiating skills and 30 years of real estate experience! From the initial phone call to the day of closing and beyond, Sabrina made the transaction easy, understandable, and stress-free. Sabrina gave us an unrivaled level of service, with frequent updates and regular communication to ensure that you'll always feel updated on the process. There is no doubt that I would let Sabrina help us find or sell our next home!”

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.

We can’t say enough about Marisa. From the moment we started working with her, she proved to be an outstanding real estate agent. She always went the extra mile and her constant monitoring and timely updates kept us informed. This was particularly relevant as we were able to make an offer on a house previously under agreement and if it wasn’t for her regular communication we would have missed the opportunity. Marisa’s professionalism attention to detail, and incredible follow-through set her apart. She was always accessible and promptly responded to our emails, phone calls, and texts. Her knowledge of the real estate market was impressive, and even if she didn’t have an immediate answer to our questions, she diligently followed up to provide us with accurate information. What truly stood out was Marisa’s dedication and caring nature. She didn’t just focus on the buying process; she ensured that our move-in experience would be as seamless as possible. She provided us with valuable support and resources that made the transition easier for us. Beyond her exceptional skills, Marisa exudes a positive vibe that made working with her a pleasure. Her enthusiasm and genuine care for her clients make her an agent we would highly recommend to anyone in need of a real estate professional. Thank you, Marisa, for making our home buying journey an incredible experience.

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 consider ourselves to be some of the luckiest people in the world to have found Shelley and Gary. Their ability to hone in on our wants and needs in a matter of hours of meeting us was amazing. They keyed in on what we were looking for and took us to places that were exactly what we wanted. They are the perfect combination of enthusiasm and practicality. Shelley will find what you want and Gary will tell you how your future home fits on the property. Who could ask for more! They are the best!

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!

We are extremely grateful to Drew Butler and his team for going above and beyond in helping us sell our condo in Hilton Head.  His marketplace expertise, initiative, responsiveness, and communications helped us achieve our goals while feeling totally supported every step of the way. He is one of the most knowledgeable, effective, and supportive realtors we’ve ever worked with and unequivocally recommend him.

The BEST agents we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with were Gary & Shelley Elliott with Charter One Realty. They made the whole process from start to finish a pleasurable and easy experience. Their understanding of the market was invaluable, and they had our house sold in under a week. Their attention to detail was impressive when first listing our home. I was blown away with all the advertising and marketing that went out the day after we decided to sell our home. I have never met a realtor that helped you with the packing, the organizing, the cleaning, the moving of your home. Who does that? What an incredible team they are. They go above and beyond to help you in every way possible. Thank you, Gary and Shelley, for your amazing work and helping make our move much less stressful. You guys are the best and we will always sing your praises.

The DELCHER team is one of the best in The Hilton Head/Bluffton area.  When they listed our townhome, we were anxious for it to sell.  Their on-point marketing, availability for questions, business acumen, and professionalism were the keys to selling our home in 2 weeks!  They guided us through the process step by step and reassured us when we needed it.

Bud and I were impressed with Shelley and Gary from the first time we met. Their warm and winning personalities along with their marketing program was very impressive. They were also recommended by our neighbor. Once we signed on with them, professional photos of our home were taken and presented to us. There was constant communication from them by email, phone, and texts. We had moved up north and they arranged every service, hired the best workers and best of all they sold our home in less than Five Days!

We originally dealt very successfully with Richard many years ago and once again reached out to him. His service, communication, and follow-through were excellent. He made selling the property so easy and timely. We would highly recommend him to any prospective buyer or seller.

“ It has been a pleasure to work with Paul Rittenhouse.. Selling a house is such a stressful experience. Using Paul as our agent took much of the worry out of the process. Paul is a no-nonsense, get-it-done kind of guy. He always extended an invitation to call him if we had any questions. What was so amazing about Paul, was he responded so quickly no matter what the question or concern was. We have had other experiences buying and selling homes, but we have never had anyone who genuinely seemed to care about us and our needs. His attention to detail is second to none; therefore, we highly recommend Paul to get the job done in the best possible way.”

Michelle helped us sell our 1 bedroom condo on Hilton Head and was a joy to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, tenacious and always professional. She guided us through every step of the process even anticipating our questions and needs. She followed through on every aspect of closing through an unexpected three day delay. We were not a large sale by Hilton Head standards, but we never felt like we were anything but a top priority for her. We would not hesitate for an instant to use Michelle again or to recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate professional in the Lowcountry.

Purchased a home in Sea Pines with Andy and the Reed Team. Andy’s knowledge of the local area and the individual communities was very helpful. He worked with us over the span of two years as we searched for the right second home. During our search we came to the island several times and when Andy was not available Rich took us around. Then when we finally decided on a home, Andy and his Dad were both there to help out. It’s really a team approach and we appreciated that very much. As if finding the perfect home was not enough we were actually living out of the country when we went under contract - 2,500 miles away in Asia. Andy kept us up to date and on track for our closing. If you are looking for an agent or a team of agents that care about finding you the right home or second home - call on Andy and the Reed Team.
