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.

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!

Drew Butler uses his knowledge of the local market to advise his clients. He has been in the industry for many years in this area. His approach is professional and meticulous. Both Drew and his office were responsive to inquiry and initiated action when it was needed. I would recommend him to my friends.

Working with Gary and Shelley was an absolute pleasure. They are highly knowledgeable about the area and trends in the market. With their attention to detail and patience in our search we were able to find our home. We will use them in the future and recommend them frequently. They have many resources and connections with the best in the field. They were always available and easy to reach.

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.

Mark, Ethan, and their team did a great job with the sale of our house. Through ever changing markets and adversity with buyers, they managed to sell the home quickly, according to our moving timeline. They had all of the resources we could need at the ready and scheduled all required inspections and maintenance for us. Highly recommended.

Steve was amazing. He lined up multiple showings for us on several days when we were in HHI for a limited number of days. He made sure to explain the amenities of the different plantations. After we left without finding our dream home, Steve kept looking. He sent us several homes to review and even went house hunting with my sister. They called one day and told us they had found our home. We toured with them via video. Stave suggested an off er contingent on our seeing the home in person. The offer was accepted the next morning and we hit the road. Just as Steve said, our home looks even better in person than in the photos. Thanks so much Steve, without you, we would still be looking.

Simply outstanding from start to finish! Sabrina did a great job finding and showing us the perfect unit. Most importantly, she excelled with all the follow-up details. Buying a second property can be challenging, but Sabrina made the entire process easy and stress-free. We needed assistance with handyman services and insurance, and she provided several excellent options to choose from on the island. She also helped with setting up the condo, which was a tremendous help. Nicely done, Sabrina! Thank you again for all your hard work and support.

"We have bought, sold, and built homes throughout our lives. Shelley & Gary know the challenges of moving to a new state and they have a unique formula for finding the right community and home for you.  We decided to build after finding our community and are so fortunate to have selected them as our buyer's agents at no cost to us. They handled so many issues for us and we were assured our interests were being safeguarded. Thank you for making what is usually a very stressful process a most rewarding experience. We love our new home!"

I’ve known Drew for almost 30 years, and this is now my third real estate transaction with him. He knows the market extremely well, especially in Indigo Run, and is a fantastic negotiator. Drew is honest, trustworthy, and hardworking, always following up and making sure every detail is handled. With the support of his great assistant, Kim, the process is seamless. I wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else.

“Sabrina was just fantastic in helping us find our second home in Hilton Head. She helped us find the perfect villa, guided us in making an offer, recommended all the necessary people to purchase the home and was our eyes and ears at the closing. She is very knowledgeable of the market and easy to work with - we recommend her without any hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Hilton Head area.”

Shelley and Gary were nothing but the utmost professional individuals from the moment we were introduced to them. We were referred to them through another agent with no first-hand knowledge of their track record. We could not have gotten any luckier, especially since we were purchasing through a builder and almost decided not to use an agent. Shelley and Gary were patient, consultative and two people we could rely on through an extremely unpleasant homebuilding experience. They remained a calming force when we were issued threats of contract cancellation by the builder to continued shared disappointment and empathy in a process that conversations often included "We've never seen/dealt with anything like this". They endured our frustration with a patient ear while dealing with their own challenges dealing with a builder whose communication was terrible at best, and on more than one occasion inconsistent and untrustworthy. Shelley and Gary are two agents who work for every penny they earn through honest communication and a dedication to their client's best interests. We are so very fortunate to have been introduced to them and even more so to have put our trust in them to help our family with our home buying/building process. As someone who has spent the last 25+ years in the housing finance industry and understands many of the obstacles and complexities homebuyers endure, I can truly say that having Shelley and Gary on our side is something our family will always be thankful for. They are not only our realtors and trusted advisors but two wonderful people we can call our friends.

Last Spring, David [Hill] helped my husband and I find a perfect house in Hilton Head.  We started looking at houses when we were vacationing in March and ended up closing on a house in July.  David listened well to what our interests were in a house, sending us information weekly on houses that were available.  Going through the process of buying the home, we had many questions which David was always eager to answer, never making us feel uncomfortable to ask yet another question.  We would highly recommend David Hill to either sell your home or to use him to help find that perfect vacation home.

"Matt & Kara were fantastic to work with from the day we met virtually to discuss our needs and wants in purchasing a vacation home. Southern hospitality at its finest! They listened well and were intuitive in picking up on what was really important to us even if we didn't explicitly communicate it. They were responsive to our questions and patient with our decision-making process. And yes, they found us the perfect fit! We were impressed with how smooth the purchasing process was which made us feel even more confident that we made the right choice -- with the home and Matt & Kara as our agents. We appreciate the personal connection we made and now beyond the real estate transaction, consider them friends. We are grateful for their expertise in making our dream a reality!"

Krista was our super-agent who showed us so many areas, properties and homes during our search. She was patient and thorough, never showing us anything she didn’t think was right for us: newly retired couple moving to the low country to find a great neighborhood. We wound up buying property to build our home and Krista has gone above and beyond following up after closing and helping us with the build. Service, great attitude and fun. Thanks so much! Would highly recommend Krista Wilson!

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.

Chip Wedgeworth went above and beyond in every aspect of the selling process. His team members as well were incredibly friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Both Chip Wedgeworth and his team worked diligently and quickly sold our house. I think it took him about a week to have the house in the "under contract" status. Thanks to his wide and vast array of connections, his ability to peg the market and price accordingly, and to promptly and thoroughly give us any and all feedback that he received from other realtors and potential buyers. Mr. Wedgeworth and his team members worked with me in a variety of ways that can be described again as going above and beyond. They assisted me at what would be considered "after business" hours because of my own work schedule and did everything they could to accommodate us in the selling of our home to make the process seem much simpler than I thought it would have been. I would truly give the Wedgeworth team five stars in every single area above: local knowledge, process expertise, responsiveness, and negotiation skills amongst many other attributes that I would applaud with 5+ stars. I would recommend with the highest confidence Chip Wedgeworth and his team!

“Paul successfully marketed and sold two homes for us on Long Island at our asking prices. He is knowledgeable, gave us great advice, and was so easy to work with, not to mention having a great sense of humor! Additionally, he has an extensive knowledge of construction and was able to guide us on needed repairs. I highly recommend him as a sales professional.”

Debbie and Daniel Cort are amazing! They are very helpful and walk through the whole process with you. Very responsive and there are no bad questions. I was very impressed with their knowledge of the market and their drive to find exactly what you are looking for. When it came time to make an offer they were right on top of everything and kept us in the loop of all the changes made by the sellers. I highly recommend them as they are very professional and friendly and will find you the home you are looking for.
