Our purchase with Shelley and Gary was by long distance. They worked tirelessly to make sure we felt we had as much information about properties as if we were there. This included FaceTime, photos, and videos. They went the extra mile by going many times to the house for inspection and even getting contractors in for measurements, so we were ready when we arrived. They are eager to share information about the Lowcountry which is very new to us. Their response to our inquiries was always quick and friendly. We are now moved in, and they continue to be a great source for information. We highly recommend them without reservation.

Andy and the Reed Team have helped me conduct three transactions on the island in the past five years. With their decades of experience on HHI, the Reed Team brought to me a wealth of knowledge that helped me gain the confidence to make my purchases. Together, we put together a “game plan” that took into account my short and long term investment goals. I would recommend Andy and the Reed Team to anyone who wants to make an informed purchase on HHI.

Christine was fantastic to work with. She made the entire process of buying our lot simple, clear, and stress-free. From answering all our questions to handling the contract smoothly, Christine was supportive every step of the way. We highly recommend her to anyone buying property!

I just want to thank you for the great service and support you gave to me as I purchased my new home in Sun City and sold my existing one in Rose Hill.  You were terrific. Whenever there was a need for someone to meet with home inspectors or potential buyers or other realtors to help with the process, you were there.  I was out of town for much of the time during the purchase of my home in Sun City and we had to correspond via email and text.  That is clearly not the most efficient way to buy a house, but you guided me through it.  I think we may have single handedly raised the income of the DocuSign people to a higher level.  You made it understandable and easy. It was great.  When it came to selling my home in Rose Hill, you once again led me through the process.  I was not in the best of health during that time but you laid everything out for me, arranged for some needed work to be done, and it all came together.  I was able to net from the sale more funds that I had even hoped for.  I can’t thank you enough. I know that the real estate sales industry is a very competitive one.  If you ever need to respond to someone asking for references, please feel free to have them contact me.  I would be happy to tell them of my experiences with you and Charter One.

I don't even know how to begin reviewing the experience my wife and I had with Linda as our realtor. If I could give 10 stars, I would! She's that good. Linda is a total professional, but I feel like she became our good friend too. Friendly, smart, punctual, helpful, and thorough are just a few of the descriptions that apply. She made the entire process of buying our beach condo so much easier. She has a folder full of contacts of other pros just like her. "Need an attorney? I got a guy". "Need a home inspector? I got a guy" (This is New Jersey, after all...). Even after the sale she supplied us with names and numbers of handymen, floor experts, plumbers, you name it. Throughout the buying process, she was always there to text or call. There was no such thing as a stupid question. (And we had a bunch of them...) They were all answered. She was such a fantastic communications bridge between us, the listing agent, our attorney, and the HOA. My wife and I highly recommend Linda. We have every confidence that you will be pleased with the detailed service she will render you. We were so lucky we found her. She's the first friend we've made in our new neighborhood and we will remain in touch with her. She told us to call anytime if we need a recommendation. We will. And we will call to invite her for cocktails once the place is decorated!

“It was a pleasure to work with Sabrina every step of the way through the entire process of selling our home. Sabrina worked tirelessly to get us the best price for the home. She made several trips to town hall and the building department on our behalf, to settle issues concerning building permits, certificates of occupancy, etc. Whether buying or selling we will certainly work with Sabrina again in the future.”

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!

"Matt was tremendous to work with from start to finish in the home buying process. He had great working knowledge and insights into the area, a friendly, professional communication style and took the time to understand what we were looking for and then applied that understanding to the houses he showed us. He expertly negotiated the deal and got the price and terms we wanted in a competitive situation. But what impressed me the most was Matt’s responsiveness - unbelievable throughout the sale process and after. Whether by email, text or phone call, he always quickly got back to us even if it was only to acknowledge the message. So few people do that anymore. We always felt we had a true partner throughout the buying process and we can’t recommend Matt more highly if you need a real estate professional."

It is with great pleasure I am writing this. For the purchase of our 2nd home we dealt with Ryan Bassett from your company. We could not have been treated better if he were a family member!! Ryan made this deal work for us; without him I am sure it wouldn't have happened and we have many family members we are referring to Ryan!

There are rare, but special, times in life when a professional contact becomes a trusted friend.  Five years ago, Sabeth Biangone helped us find a community and a home, shepherded the myriad details of a long-distance house purchase, and defended our legal contract against a seller's agent who tried to start a bidding war.  When it became time to sell, she expertly guided us through pricing, timing, and presenting our home to its best advantage.  The result was a quick and easy sale.  She is professional but fun to work with, no-nonsense but sympathetic, tireless and generous with her time, and unfailingly available and supportive.  Our meeting years ago started with a random phone call to Charter One Realty, and we are so lucky that she’s the one who answered the call.

We had a wonderful experience with Les Jones! We received a flyer from Les about a condo in our building on Hilton Head Island going up for sale. We really had not thought about selling ours. Out of curiosity, I contacted Les & he told me about the low inventory on the island & the increased demand & increase on price. He was absolutely the nicest man to talk to. Also, he is very laid back & not pushy. We talked about price & after about two weeks he called me back, just to check on us. We thought about it a little longer & we decided it was time to sell our unit. Les had our unit sold within 5 days. He & his office were very professional & thorough. We finally met Les when we were cleaning out our personal items. He is a very nice man & knows his business. Would highly recommend Les & his staff.

We have executed multiple transactions with Andy as both buyers and sellers. He is, without question, the most thorough, well researched, and intelligent minds you will find in real estate, anywhere, not just in Sea Pines. He combines a conscientious, service-based style, with a keen business sense and impressive marketing skills. Any transaction we ever do will be with Andy Reed. If you’re smart, you will too.

What a journey we’ve been on the last year! We knew that we needed to downsize but we also wanted a nice garden for Lisa. Daniel and Debbie were with us on every step of this journey and they were so generous of their patience with us! Their attention to detail was amazing and their advice was always well thought out. The respect they’ve earned in the community was obvious when dealing with contractors, roofers, plumbers, inspectors, etc. They were always able to get quick and reliable replies. Daniel and Debbie did a wonderful job selling our house and finding our new home. They are an awesome couple and you couldn’t go wrong with the Cort Team.

She made herself available to us, whenever we needed. She is energetic and enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services and we look forward to working with her in the future.”

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.

Daniel and Debbie are an amazing real estate team. Daniel quickly accessed our needs and identified a number of properties that met our investment criteria. In addition, his contacts enabled us to do a quick renovation and secure a great property manager that to date have been extremely beneficial. Debbie was extremely helpful in a number of logistical areas including helping dealing with attorneys and out of state tax issues related to the property. She provided the necessary push when things started to get bogged down. We would highly recommend the Cort Team for anyone’s real estate needs in the Hilton Head area. By far the best real estate experience we have ever had.

When we decided to move to Hilton Head, we were told the only real estate agents to use were the Reed Team.  After buying and selling four properties using them, we couldn’t agree more.   They know the market extremely well. In addition, they really tried to learn our goals, and then match properties to meet those goals.  Our first property was an ocean front house, that we rented for 3 years until we tore it down to build our dream house.  The advice we were given by the Reed Team during that time proved to be right on.  The other transactions were for investment reasons, and they all exceeded our goals as well.   There are three things we especially liked about dealing with the Reed Team; first, they would tell us exactly how they felt about a property, and actually steered us away from some we liked. Secondly, they have a very practical, common sense approach about real estate deals. And thirdly, they worked hard on building long-term relationships, they weren’t just transaction processors. They stayed very involved during escrow and way past the closings, ensuring that the deal got done to our satisfaction. We only wish they had an office in southern California when we relocated here.

Mark Rushton is the epitome of excellence, professionalism, and skill. He is patient, extremely knowledgeable, and his attention to detail is unmatched. From the first showing until closing, Mark took care of every detail and provided us with honest guidance. We LOVE Mark and could not be more passionate in our recommendation of him! Our only regret is that we won’t be working with him again soon because he did such an outstanding job helping us find the perfect home for us! Truly, there is ZERO need to look anywhere else for a realtor; Mark is the very best!

Let me start by saying that we have bought and sold many houses over the years and it has never been what I would call an enjoyable experience. Krista Wilson changed that experience. She was competent and supportive throughout the whole process. We found her by chance as we were in the early stages of our search. She guided us through this with patience. There were no high pressure tactics and she allowed us the time to consider our next steps. I appreciated the fact that she gave us space that we needed to feel comfortable in our decisions. Krista was responsive and handled all issues with the sellers competently. She somehow managed to find resolutions where everyone agreeably walked away from the table. This will probably be the last house we buy in our lifetime and the only downside I can see to this is that we won't have the opportunity to spend more time with Krista. She's a gem!

Alec Smith was incredible. His patience, guidance and knowledge was exactly what I needed since I don't currently live locally. He gave me solid advice and was honest when I needed it. I really appreciated the insights he offered which helped me with my decision making. Overall, it couldn't have been a better experience! I highly recommend Alec.

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.
