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.

Incredibly seasoned, helpful and friendly. No detail escaped Richard MacDonald and he did a magnificent job of listing and selling our home in Hilton Head. Richard's long experience with real estate on the Island worked to our advantage. Very easy to work with as well.

Matt and Kara were great agents and I never considered anyone else after our first encounter. They knew the area very well and showed us different areas to give us an understanding of each community. They responded to requests and made adjustments to accommodate my schedule. They were quick to get property details and help me understand the complete picture before engaging into negotiations. They are experienced working on relocations and were able to check out properties when I was not in the area. They were easy to work with and good, honest people looking out for my interests.

Working with Debbie Cort was absolutely seamless and perfect. Our Family needed to relocate to the area from Florida and we had no idea where to start looking for our new home. My wife sent an email regarding a property we might be interested in and Debbie responded immediately! We shared our lifestyle and current type of home we owned to help Debbie show us the best neighborhood to suit us in the shortest time frame. After 2-3 trips from Florida to look at our home buying options we landed on a beautiful home in Bluffton with the amenities that were exactly to our needs! Without Debbie Cort we wouldn't have been able to make our move happen so smooth. And we have built a great friendship along the way. Debbie puts her heart and soul into the entire process. And was always available for any questions that came up. Thanks Debbie and Dan!

My wife and I worked with Marisa on a recent trip to the lowcountry and visited several communities over a couple of days.  The first thing that struck me about Marisa is her thoroughness and organization.  We have worked with other realtors in the past who are a bit scattered and a little slow on follow-up.   Marisa separated herself immediately from those experiences by taking the time to understand us individually and to do a deep dive into our likes/wants in a house.  She then provided a detail itinerary for the two days we were to spend with her. She followed up within minutes many times and was extremely organized over the two days.  Her commitment to doing things the right way really impressed us both as did her knowledge of the communities we visited.  She met every need we had during our time with her, and I would recommend Marisa to anyone looking for a home in the Lowcountry.

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.

Richard is friendly and professional. His experience in real estate is outstanding. He is flexible and aims to please. He spends extra time and resources to bring potential buyers.

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.

We recently purchased a home in Bluffton and had the pleasure of working with Sara Huiss throughout the transaction. From our initial property search through closing, Sara was responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. She was always available to answer questions, coordinate inspections, gather information, and keep the process moving forward. What we appreciated most was her willingness to go above and beyond. She took the time to introduce us to the equestrian facilities within Rose Dhu Creek Plantation and helped arrange conversations with people in the community so that we could better understand the neighborhood and its amenities. That extra effort was extremely helpful and gave us confidence in our decision. Sara was an effective advocate for our interests and helped make what could have been a complicated transaction much smoother. We are very pleased with our experience and would not hesitate to recommend Sara to anyone buying or selling property in the Bluffton area.

We recently sold our house with Drew Butler. The process was very successful from start to finish. Drew brought the data which made the pricing decision easy, his suggestions to “ready” the house for buyers was effective and not overly complicated. We had early showings and a buyer in several days at full price. Drew and his assistant, Kim Burke, were helpful through the inspection and follow-up. They were great at communications right up through the closing. It is extremely helpful that Drew knows Indigo Run and all the reasons it is the place to be on Hilton Head.

“Ethan stepped in to handle the sale of our home when our original realtor was unable to continue. He was a huge bonus for us. Ethan is a lifelong resident of Beaufort and knows the market intimately. We immediately felt comfortable with him and were delighted with his efforts and the results. He did a superb job marketing our property and was incredibly responsive to all of our requests. He noticed at one point that I was feeling unusually stressed and quickly identified ways he could step in and take some of the weight off our shoulders. We have bought and sold many homes in the past 20 years. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ethan to anyone who is considering buying or selling a property in the Beaufort area.”

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.

I am writing to firmly recommend Diana Sroufe for her outstanding service as a real estate agent. Throughout my husband’s and my experience working with Diana, we were consistently impressed by her exceptional qualities and dedication to her clients. We both listed a home and found and purchased our new home with Diana. Diana possesses an exceptional level of knowledge of the real estate market in the community which provides invaluable insights to make the best decisions. She meticulously guided us through every step of the real estate process and answered any questions which was comforting and helped us feel very supported. Most notable was Diana’s positive energy which was infectious, creating an atmosphere of optimism and confidence even in the most challenging situations. Beyond her positive demeanor, Diana is incredibly resourceful. As well, her willingness to go the extra mile honestly is limitless. For the home we were selling she provided assistance with contractors for any items that needed to be completed before closing. She met the contractors at the home to ensure everything was done properly and in a timely fashion. In summary, my husband and I cannot recommend Diana Sroufe highly enough. Her experienced and supportive approach, attention to detail, positive energy and willingness to go the extra mile make her an invaluable asset for selling a home or purchasing a new home. All of Diana’s qualities helped us feel very comfortable during this time of change in our lives.

Based on recommendations from several friends as well as personal knowledge, we chose Christina Forbis as our realtor. She worked with us throughout every aspect of the sale of our home.  Christina proved to be the ultimate professional and the best in the business. Her intimate knowledge of the Port Royal marketplace combined with her attention to every detail and her willingness to “go the extra mile”, led to a successful sale from listing through closing within 30 days. There is no doubt in our minds that Christina is the realtor you want to be with in the sale of your home.  She is simply beyond compare!

“This was arguably one of the most challenging processes I’ve experienced because of the seller and the agent husband / wife team. Had it not been for Judd, the closing attorneys and the mortgage broker I don’t think this deal would have happened. Many thanks to Judd Tracy and Charter One for their patience and professionalism getting this deal over the finish line. Couldn’t have done it without you."

I have been involved in many real estate transactions in my life and have dealt with many realtors over the years. I have to take the time to write this review (I haven’t in the past) because of how terrific Alec [Smith] was from the start to the finish and even the follow up. His local knowledge of waterfront property is impressive to say the least. He got a premium for my home on waterfront and I attribute that to his expertise. Alec helped me with home improvements to maximize the value of my home. Everything from recommendations of contractors to driving over (on his free time) to check on the work being done while I traveled for work. I was beyond grateful to have him working to sell my home. Alec presented me with several ideas to market my home to get the best bang for the buck as well. I was impressed with his outside the box ideas and his commitment to my home. There were times where I wondered how in the world is this guy even making money on my transaction with the effort and time he put forth. My home sold several weeks ago and he has called me several times after the fact to make sure I was happy with how everything went and to see how I was currently doing. Unbelievable! The job was done and closed and he still took the time to see if I was satisfied and if things were going well. I’ve seen that ever before in a Relator. Absolute professional!

All I can say is wow!!! I was trying to sell my parents' home following their passing and was very concerned and worried. When I engaged The Elliott Team, everything from our first meeting all the way through settlement went smoothly and quickly. I was nervous, but the Team was always there with advice and words of encouragement. The experience was so seamless that when and if I need to sell my home, I will engage them again. I've even referred The Team to a couple of friends and neighbors. They are the best!

Daniel & Debbie Cort were great to work with! We live out of state and were able to quickly find a condo on Hilton Head Island that met our needs for a great price. They used video chat for a walkthrough and very responsive to any questions. Highly recommended and will work with them for our next property!

Alec Smith has helped us buy two homes and sell one house in the Celadon development on Lady's Island. His support and insight have been invaluable as we transitioned into the community and made this area our new home. He is detail-oriented, communicates exceptionally well, and is very professional. I would highly recommend Alec for buying or selling your home.

I had a great experience with Tom. Back in June I put my house on the market and I needed to find my forever home, but due to the pandemic I was very nervous. Until I meet Tom he insured me that he will be there for me and my family every step of the way and that’s what he did. He went above and beyond for us. He made our selling and buying experience a great one and we are so happy that we had Tom represent us. If you want someone to find you the forever home or helping you sell your home call Tom you will not be disappointed.

Monica was terrific in our search for our home. In a competitive market, her excellent insight and strategy helped us secure the home of our dreams. She also prepped us for selling our townhome which sold for top dollar the day it was listed. We highly recommend her for buying or selling on Hilton Head Island.

We were referred to Christina Forbis by a friend and as soon as we met her we knew that she was going to be awesome and the one who we wanted to work with! Her professionalism is exceptional, her enthusiasm even better! She truly cared about our lives and listened to our goals, as we trusted her suggestions and honest advise. Christina was extremely prepared, experienced and determined, handling every detail and situation with attention and respect. Throughout our experience Christina went above and beyond to help us in every way which made our experience a pleasant and successful one.  She managed our home when it snowed, organized a home furniture sale, and guided us at every junction to make this sale happen, and in the end also aided in the purchase of condo! We appreciate everything she did for us and would highly recommend Christina, our new friend, to anyone interested in selling or buying! She made it fun!
