I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Shelley and Gary! I’ve bought and sold 8 homes and this process was by far most supportive and enjoyable. They recently handled both a sale and purchase, all which took place in 2 quick months. They both went above and beyond every aspect of the sales. Their knowledge of the market and home buying process is without flaw. I hope to refer many clients to them in the future! I’m very thankful I made the decision to work with them.

Scott Collins was ideal to work with. He took the information we gave him and blended it with his own experience and knowledge to lead us to our dream home in a single day! Follow up was seamless. He dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s. He was there as a stand-in for us as necessary when we returned home 3,000 miles away. We would certainly recommend or use or Scott again in a heartbeat!

We've known Andy Reed and his team for at least 20 years and have always respected and appreciated Andy's professionalism and knowledge. We consider him to be an expert and our go-to resource with regards to Hilton Head real estate. We were selling our lot in Long Cove in the midst of Hurricane Matthew, so it was a much more complex transaction than the typical lot sale. Andy exercised unbelievable patience, skill and diplomacy to both locate a buyer and agree to terms that worked for everyone. We would highly recommend Andy and his team for any real estate needs.

"Sabrina is an absolute gem, she is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. She made the process of selling our Hilton Head condo incredibly easy, she was always one step ahead. Her attention to detail, organization and common sense approach to all aspects of selling our property made it seamless from start to finish. Sabrina was wonderful and the added bonus is we made a new friend. Thank you Sabrina!!"

Richard MacDonald has been amazing! He was extremely patient to teach us about the Hilton Head market as we began our search. He was always prepared and had done all the legwork for us. Through numerous issues with the house, Richard was on top of everything, even after the closing. He’s professional, thorough, accessible, and super easy to deal with. He was our advocate in every step. We can’t say enough good things about Richard!

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 was recommended to us when we were ready to purchase a lot in our favorite vacation spot, Sea Pines, and he helped us find the perfect homesite. As our plans changed, we knew Andy could help us get the best price for selling our lot and he did. We came to Andy again when we decided to purchase a villa/home in Sea Pines. As a longtime realtor on the island, he knows and understands the market and helped us every step of the way. We are delighted with our new home and lifestyle choice. Andy gave us good solid advice along the way and helped make our transition to retirement easier.  In addition to being our real estate go-to professional we are proud to also call him friend.

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.

Buying our new home with Debbie and Daniel was an unbelievably easy experience! Debbie went above and beyond to make sure every "i "was dotted and every "t" crossed. She and Daniel gave us great advice as to where to buy and who to get as our mortgage processor. A usually daunting experience was turned into a very easy and no stress experience. I HIGHLY recommend these very professional agents to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bluffton/HHI area. A business relationship has turned into a great friendship! Thanks Debbie and Daniel for our new home!!

Lonnie is a superstar! She was able to make the process of selling our family home seamless. I didn't have too much experience selling real estate but with Lonnie, I never had to worry. Our property is part of a gated community and she was able to coordinate everything with the HOA, the security logistics, and tight coordination with the buyer's realtor. I really only ever needed to 'sign things' as I quickly learned I could trust her to take care of it all. Highly recommend her for your real estate needs!

Drew Butler has helped me sell and purchase a house and a condominium in the last year and a half. He and his team could not be more attentive and professional than they have been. Drew was always there when I had a question or needed information about the process. His staff made sure every necessary detail was covered to afford a smooth transition. I wouldn’t take a chance with anyone else in these important matters.

I found Tom DeFazio to be an asset to his company and a very highly attentive agent to my needs, as though I were his only client. He is very knowledgeable in his field, patient, and personable. Tom always returned my phone calls or texts the same day. I am pleased to recommend Tom DeFazio to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. In fact, he is working with my family right now to purchase a second home. If or when I decide to sell or purchase a home again, Tom DeFazio would be my first call.

Mark made the whole process of purchasing a home for my father as smooth as possible. Mark was very prompt in answering any question I had and at times acting as my therapist, listening to my struggles. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is purchasing or selling a home.

Sanders MacDonald was great! He helped us both buy and sell our homes. He understood what our wants were in finding a house. Went beyond the norm to find out information about houses we were interested in when it was not available in the seller’s disclosure. Sanders followed up consistently through buying and selling process (i.e. lawyers, realtors, inspectors, etc.) to insure no issues. Lastly, Sanders was very personable, easy going and upfront about a house’s pluses and minuses (i.e. artificial stucco vs stucco integrity). To date we have bought and sold 13 houses over the last 40 years. Sanders has been by far the best Realtor we have worked with both on the buy and sell side. We would seek out and work with him again without hesitation.

"We had the pleasure of working with Sabrina [Zeoli] to purchase our condo in Hilton Head Island, and we can’t imagine a better experience. From day one, Sabrina impressed us with her deep knowledge of the local market and her genuine commitment to helping us find the perfect place. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for—not just in terms of layout and price, but lifestyle and long-term value. Her insights into different condo communities, amenities, and HOA considerations were incredibly helpful. Sabrina found us the perfect condo at a great price. It checked every box, and we truly feel like we got an incredible value thanks to her knowledge and market savvy. Sabrina was always responsive, honest, and proactive. She guided us through every step—from showings to closing—with professionalism and warmth. Even after the sale, she checked in to make sure we were settling in well and continued to support us with any questions we had. If you're looking for a realtor who knows Hilton Head inside and out and truly puts your needs first, Sabrina is the one. We’re thrilled with our new condo and even more thankful for the experience she gave us."

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.

“Working with Sabrina Zeoli as my realtor for selling my Hilton Head property was a gift. From the beginning, she diligently prioritized my needs and timeline, fully understanding the urgency and unique circumstances of the transaction. Because I was not physically present in the market, Sabrina stepped in seamlessly to represent me, managing every detail with professionalism, care, and integrity. She is incredibly strategic in her approach, always focused on maximizing the opportunity for a successful sale. Whether it was pricing, timing, or negotiations, she made sure every decision was in my best interest. What stood out most was her communication. Sabrina is consistent, thorough, and always one step ahead. She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a realtor who is not only knowledgeable and strategic but also truly committed to your success, Sabrina is the one you want in your corner.”

Brad Wilson made the experience of selling my parents' home not only easy, but very successful as well. We relied on his expertise, honesty, experience and incredible staff, particularly since we are not South Carolina residents. I am so happy to have chosen Brad as our Realtor and hightly recommend him to anyone who is buying or selling in the Hilton Head Island Area.

Alec Smith was absolutely fantastic to work with. He far exceeded my expectations on the time it would take to sell my family’s land. In addition, he consistently kept me informed and the entire transaction could have not gone more smoothly. I highly recommend him.

We have worked with Andy Reed for 3 years. He has spent countless hours showing us homes in every neighborhood on Hilton Head, helping us to understand the pluses and minuses of each one. He was patient, he was honest, he was supportive, and he never pressured us to buy. When we did decide to buy, he explained the contract terms carefully and he handled the details. When we had questions, he returned phone calls and emails promptly. Andy was always professional, he represented us fairly and we now have a new friend.

Marisa Cain was a pivotal reason we bought our home. From the beginning, she struck the perfect balance—warm and enthusiastic, yet candid and insightful. We valued these attributes in Marisa, especially being new to the area. After just one morning of touring homes, she quickly honed in on what truly mattered to us. A week later, she had a strong instinct about a new listing and let us know right away. She was absolutely right—it turned out to be the one. Marisa guided us through every step of the process with efficiency and care. She made sure we fully understood each aspect of the home and addressed any potential concerns on our checklist. We always felt she was advocating for us, representing our best interests throughout the entire home buying process. Even after our offer was accepted, Marisa remained hands-on, leading us seamlessly through closing and generously sharing her trusted contacts for services like painting, landscaping, and cleaning. She is a true professional. We wholeheartedly recommend Marisa to anyone looking to buy a home.

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.

Tom Defazio was always available on short notice to show us properties we were interested in. Over a period of several months he was responsive to our changing property wish list and desired locations. In the end he helped us secure the right property in a great location. We recommend him without hesitation.
