Christina is an excellent agent who knows her job and performed it superbly. Christina provided exceptional help in listing and selling our Condo. She helped develop an appropriate selling price, prepared excellent sales materials, and guided us through a very successful negotiation process. We are grateful to her for managing the repairs that were required without our involvement. She made this a very easy task for us. It was effortless on our part. Thank you, Christina!

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!
Dale and Demetra MatthewsBuyers - Long Cove Club
We were very pleased with the excellent work of Herman and Davis Properties in the purchase of our home in Long Cove. Monica Davis was our realtor during this process and she was prompt, well-informed, professional, and cordial in all of our interactions. All aspects of buying a home were handled smoothly by Monica and her team. We highly recommend them without any reservations whatsoever. If you want the best, go to the best: Herman & Davis Properties.
Joyce H., Seller7 East Summerton Court, Belfair - October 2025
Marisa Cain was my Realtor selling my home. She was amazing from the beginning. She was very knowledgeable, very positive and very warm. She was the best combination. She attended every single showing of my house and reported back to me after every showing. She was always in contact with the showing realtors. It was amazing that she took so much time. She answered all of my questions. She calmed me down when I was concerned. She was there with the movers. Nothing was ever too much for her. Selling this house was the smoothest experience. And I owe it all to Marisa Cain!

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.
Satisfied Client
If real estate is all about location, location, location, James Wedgeworth takes it to another level: connections, connections, connections. Add common sense and a 24/7 drive to get deals and get ‘em done—experience counts and you’d be lucky to have him and his wonderful associate Mary Stuedemann in your corner. Our home got a lot of views and James was very skillful in negotiating a great purchase offer for us. Unfortunately the house needed new pipes which caused delays and there were complications about the survey. Each of these could have derailed the deal but James used great tact and called upon his career’s worth of contacts to move the two big issues forward. He kept us informed every step of the way. We’re convinced a less experienced and less connected agent would not have held it together to closing.
My husband and I met Linda 4 years ago and at that time I knew that if we didn't buy then we would someday. Fast forward to 2024 and we've quickly caught up, picked up where we left off and began the search for our next home and community. I still can't believe we found a property, made an offer, and had an acceptance in under two days! We appreciate all your help in the search for our newly purchased property and we are so excited to build our dream home. Your attention to details and knowledge of the community made the process easy, and we couldn't be happier we chose to work with you. We truly appreciated your flexibility, and willingness to accommodate our schedules knowing that we are not from the area and needed to fly in since we currently live so far away. You were terrific to create an agenda that maximized our time with the best result ever a property that we absolutely adore!

We know many real estate agents in Hilton Head, choosing one was very difficult, we chose Richard, and we couldn’t be happier. He helped us in preparation, guided us through the inspections, and was extremely knowledgeable at closing. Richard worked very hard and was always available when we needed him.
Lisbeth DoebereinerHilton Head Island
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.
The Furby'sBuyers, 44 Anchorage Way
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!
Bass FamilySellers 5 Albmarle Road
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.
Rachel Farris20 Royal Crest Drive, Port Royal
Christina Forbis was great to work with on the sale of our house in Port Royal Plantation. Her grasp of the real estate market on Hilton Head Island allowed us to quickly get our property under contract above asking price. Being a full service broker, Christina was instrumental in helping us from showings to our close date. We would highly recommend Christina.

"Hiring Michelle to help us find and purchase a property was the best thing we could do in purchasing the property we wanted and liked. She is amazing, very knowledgeable, professional, kind, always available, answering all the questions we had always in a timely manner, making sure we understood the entire process. We are highly recommending her and her team! Thank you, Michelle."

Drew could not have been a better agent to work with. His knowledge of the market was excellent and his attention to detail was phenomenal. He facilitated all the inspections, made tremendous recommendations for any work that was needed, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. We would recommend Drew to everyone looking to buy on Hilton Head Island - you won't find a finer person to work with.

"Alec is a professional through and through. His knowledge of his craft is impressive. I think what I enjoyed about working with Alec the most is he always kept me up to date at every turn so I always knew what to expect. He is committed to getting the job done and he did just that. I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home in the Beaufort, SC area."
Sara Huiss - Fellow Charter One Realty Colleague
I've known Diana for years now, and it's been such a joy to watch our relationship grow. We actually met when I moved here from Arlington, VA, and found the Belfair home I ended up buying — Diana was the listing agent, and I liked her instantly. Her energy is contagious, and she made what could've been a stressful cross-state move feel fun and exciting instead.
After that, I got into real estate myself, first with a local builder and then in general brokerage. I spent several years at another company before moving to Charter One. Still, throughout it all, Diana and I stayed in touch — the kind of relationship that doesn't need constant contact to stay real. Every time we caught up, it picked right back up.
When I was seriously considering Charter One, Diana was one of the people I leaned on. She spent real time walking me through their marketing, telling me what she genuinely loved about the company, and being honest about her own experience there. Her enthusiasm was contagious — again — and it made a big decision feel a lot easier.
Now we talk all the time. We share ideas, materials, what's working and what isn't, and we cheer each other on when the business gets hard, which it does. I value her opinion more than almost anyone else's in this industry, and I know I can count on her to be honest, generous, and genuinely happy to help.
Diana truly loves this job. It shows in everything she does, from how much fun she brings to the people around her to how deeply she cares about her clients. She's the real deal — as an agent and as a friend.
Christina Forbis ClientHilton Head Island
Choosing Christina Forbis to assist us with purchasing a home on Hilton Head Island was the best decision we could have made.
Over the years we have used the services of a number of listening and selling agents; Christina was, by far, the best we have ever encountered.
Christina exceeded all of our expectations with her advice, counsel, professionalism, service and responsiveness. As an example, Christina educated and counseled us on the current flood elevation laws, and the effect of a homes elevation on flood insurance rates. In addition, she did not hesitate to give us her opinion when she believed a home was not fairly priced in relations to its true market value.
She was there for us every step of the way, helping with even the smallest details. Even after closing, when most agents are nowhere to be found, Christina assisted us with other details, too many to identify here.
Should there be a future need, we would enthusiastically use Christina’s services again, and we highly recommend that anyone either purchasing or listing their home, partner with Christina.

“Sabrina is amazing. She is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable with a wonderful personality. Sabrina worked tirelessly for us and was always available and accessible. She understood our goals and needs and, provided a clear roadmap to properties that fit our dreams. She found us the perfect home and stood firm on our behalf to make sure the property was in perfect condition for us before we took possession. Sabrina loves what she does, and it shows in every aspect of her work. We have bought and sold 10 homes (so far) in our lifetimes, and Sabrina is by far the best agent that we've ever worked with. We highly recommend Sabrina for anyone looking for property around HHI and will personally recommend her to everyone who is buying or selling a property in the Hilton Head area. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the top realtor, she is a 20!!”

Debbie and Daniel Cort are hard-working and dedicated to the community in and around the Hilton Head area. They are diligent in selling and finding homes for their customers. I contacted them to sell my home, hoping to put it on the market in November, and it was sold by the end of November. I was hesitant because it was a lifestyle change I was not sure about, but I put my trust in Debbie and Daniel, and they advised me through each step of the process. They answered every call and question that I had. Debbie and Daniel are great listeners, and they made suggestions that I followed, which made the process less stressful. Debbie and Daniel are kind and patient, and they make selling and buying homes a positive experience.

"Mark has been wonderful to work with. He's always professional, candid and friendly. Whenever we had questions or needs throughout the process of selling our home he was able to help immediately, and if he didn't have an answer right away, he worked hard to find the answer. Mark really stood out with his professionalism throughout the entire process, even when other parties were being less than professional in our dealings. We really appreciate everything Mark did to help us sell our home. Thank you!"

“Ethan did a beautiful job marketing our home. It sold in just five weeks! He was very patient and
thorough from start to finish. He always took the time to answer our questions AND calmed us down when we became stressed. Thank you, Ethan... So thankful to have Paul represent us and help us transition into our next chapter of life!”

We had the pleasure of working with Matt and Kara on both the sale of our home and purchase of our new home. During every stage of the process they were attentive, responsive and kept an open line of communication to all parties involved. Their knowledge and communication style made this a seamless experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!
Kevin & Robin C. – Buyers of 3822 The Preserve at Indigo Run - May 2024
Drew was recommended by friends of ours who recently purchased a home in Indigo Run, we were very happy to work with Drew and Kim. The whole process couldn't have gone smoother. I had LOTS of questions during the process that Drew and Kim did a great job of answering in a very timely manner. Drew knows the Island very well; I would absolutely recommend if you are buying or selling.
Alicia H.
Michael and Michelle were an amazing team to work with. Their knowledge of the local market combined with their diverse skill sets were just the right combination that I needed to sell my unique property. They were patient and professional as I wavered on decisions and confidently guided me through how to respond to each of the multiple offers I received. They were always there to perform helpful tasks while I was out of town and Michael even revived a riding lawnmower that died in the middle of the yard before an open house! I highly recommend Michael and Michelle to sell or buy your next home. They will get the job done for you!
Joshua H.Buyers
I cannot say enough great things about Debbie and Daniel! #1 thing is that they were everything they presented themselves to be. They were incredible guides to my wife and I as we looked for and bought our first home. They're so helpful - they really put our wishes at the forefront of everything they did and went above and beyond. 10 out of 10 - I would go through the process again with them.
Lee W.
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!!
Satisfied ClientBuyer & Seller - Berkeley Hall
We decided to check out the real estate market in Berkeley Hall, where we were currently living, and called the Delchers about a listed home. We chose the Delchers because of their fine reputation in the real estate market in our area. However, that particular home did not turn out to be the home for us. We did not need to move, so we told Duke and Linda we only wanted something we fell in love with. They called a few weeks later and said they'd found the perfect house for us .......and it was! We're now the proud new owners of that property. Next came the sale of our current home. Linda and Duke were so helpful. Their marketing strategies were terrific. They made a lovely brochure featuring the various rooms and amenities of our home. A number of agents showed our home, and within a short time we had an offer. Linda also was very helpful in guiding us through the closing process, the property inspections, and finding us a move manager who also found us a mover. Once the ball was rolling, the whole process was seamless! We would strongly recommend the Delchers to anyone in the Bluffton/ Hilton Head area planning to buy or sell a home.
