Mark Rushton was a great help in purchasing my first home. He helped me through the process while out of state in a different time zone. He even went as far as replacing the old refrigerator in the house himself. He knows the area and I ended up buying a house recommended by him that I was unaware of. I would recommend him as a real estate agent.

"Julianne has been such a blessing to my grandson & myself through the entire process. I initially contacted her with a million questions about selling and what the market was doing plus some about how to handle an inheritance situation. She walked us through it all, questions and then from the listing to closing. I was overwhelmed by 20+ years of "stuff" and "treasures". If I hit a road block, I could call and she was able to get me back on the correct timeline. She was exceptional from beginning to end. If I were to move back to that area she would be one of the first people I would call."

Gary and Shelley make for an impeccable team. They compliment each other well and are fierce advocates for us as the sellers. They never missed anything and were always there to double-check and follow up and make sure that things went smoothly. We had a difficult buyer, and I always knew that they were on our side and ready to jump in to make this work. They are an absolutely fantastic choice for realtors.

As soon as I met Christina I felt completely confident in her knowledge and expertise as a Realtor. Christina provided sound advice for listing my house. The sale of toy home was well beyond what I could have ever imagined.

Lorri Hunter was fantastic to work with. She’s easy to talk to, incredibly thoughtful, and makes the whole process feel effortless. With her deep knowledge of the area, she introduced us to several wonderful homes and ultimately helped us find our forever home. Lorri truly lives up to her “Expect Better” promise — she goes above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I have been a real estate investor for over 30 years and would happily recommend Alec Smith. He has been one of the best agents that I have ever worked with. He was professional and helpful from my first phone call to my closing. He is very knowledgeable about the area and will provide you with all the necessary information and contacts to insure that your project will be successful. Happy shopping for your next venture.

I have been involved in real estate transactions for over 40 years and Christina was one of the most professional, attentive, and transparent agents I have ever met. Her credibility is high based on her personal and professional style - not only answering questions and solving problems, but anticipating them as well. In our scenario, Christina navigated dual agency with style and grace which will long be remembered. I highly recommend Christina to anyone seeking assistance in the real estate arena. If/when we sell, Christina Forbis will be one of the first calls I make.

Shelley and Gary were probably the most thorough real estate agents I have ever worked with. I used to be a agent in California and this team are truly the best in the business. They always answer their phones and keep you updated throughout the whole process! If you are looking to sell your home or buy a home you will be very happy!

“Paul was part of a 2 person team that handled the sale of our home in Beaufort, SC. We appreciated his willingness to listen to our questions and answer them thoroughly. When he needed to get additional information he did not hesitate to do so and get back to us promptly. Paul is a down to earth kind of realtor and does not back away from the parts of the real estate process that take time and are the unseen steps that make it all work smoothly. We could not have been happier with his skills and with the result. Both my husband and I recommend Paul highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Beaufort SC area.”

“Sabrina Zeoli is fantastic! She worked with my husband and I to find the perfect second home on Hilton Head Island. She was patient and always available. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. She was very supportive from the beginning to the end of our home buying experience. She made the whole process seamless. It is evident that Sabrina cares about her clients and her community. We would love to work with her again in the future!”

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.

Our introduction to Cristina was through the purchase of our new home in Port Royal, in which she represented the sellers of the house we ended up buying.  We agreed to a dual agent relationship whereby she handled both sides of the transaction.  Admittedly, we had some concerns about conflicts of interest but those were quickly allayed as she handled matters like a true pro.  We never felt like we were being played off against the other side, and that all negotiated points were balanced with an aim to closing the deal.  We had confidence in her ability to represent our interests fairly and genuinely throughout a process that went smoothly and with hardly any issues.  Even after the closing, Christina continues to be a resource.  As we are new to the HHI community, she’s provided valuable information that has enabled us to transition easily into our new home.  We stay in contact with her on a regular basis and she’s always available to take our call.  We consider her a friend and are very fortunate to have her counsel and assistance as needed.

“Sabrina was an amazing realtor. She went above and beyond in everything she did to help make my buying experience as pleasant as possible. Sabrina is very knowledgeable of the Hilton Head market and this is what I needed since I was purchasing a condo from out of town. Sabrina cares about her clients and it shows.”

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!

If you are selling your home and want an agent who will be completely invested in your success from day one, look no further than Christina Forbis. We recently sold our home, and she provided exceptional guidance every step of the way. From the very beginning, Christina came prepared with a clear, strategic plan. She provided expert coaching on staging our home, walking us through exactly what to prioritize, what to change, and what to leave alone. Her recommendations weren't generic advice, they were thoughtful, targeted suggestions that made a real difference in how our home presented to buyers. She knew how to make the space feel inviting and market-ready without requiring us to over-invest. Once we were under contract, Christina's attention to detail truly set her apart. The contracting and closing process can be overwhelming, but she was on top of every document, every deadline, and every detail, staying ahead of issues before they became problems. She was responsive, communicative, and never left us wondering where things stood. We always felt informed and confident, even during the more stressful moments of the transaction. What makes Christina exceptional isn't just her skill set, it's the combination of professionalism, discipline, and genuine care she brings to her clients. She was an advocate for us at every turn. If you want an agent who will work tirelessly on your behalf and execute with precision, she is the one!

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.

Andy Reed is our "go-to" man.  If you want tailor made attention to your real estate needs, Andy is the man you want as a realtor who represents the unique atmosphere of Long Cove Club.  He has lived and raised a family in LCC for 26 years.  Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend this affable member of Charter One Realty.  We trust him and have been happy here for 19 years.

Alec [Smith] is a true professional realtor. He's very knowledgeable about the Low Country/Beaufort area and has great suggestions for service providers. We had a few challenges. But, Alec was a great communicator who kept us informed and guided us along the way. He was by our side giving encouragement during the whole process. Alec goes above and beyond what one should reasonably expect from their realtor. We highly recommend working with Alec.

OUTSTANDING! From the start Tammy Moody’s knowledge of the inventory, pricing and challenging market provided us with extremely helpful advice and guidance every step of the way. She ensured that we understood all aspects involved in selling our home. Tammy helped us through some times when we had doubts and endless questions that all sellers have. Our home sold and we were thrilled. All we can say is high marks for Tammy and the Charter One Team.

My wife Julie and I have had the pleasure of working with The Reed Team for many years, and we consider them to be family.  They have represented my family and I in several real estate transactions, and our experience has consistently been first-class. Their professionalism, dedication, and knowledge of the Hilton Head real estate market is unmatched. Most recently, Andy Reed, worked on our behalf in the purchase of an oceanfront home in Sea Pines.  His expertise and knowledge of the Sea Pines market proved invaluable.  Not only was he responsive, but he took the time to understand our goals and objectives and represented us as if we were his number one priority.  We are thrilled with the long-term relationship we have enjoyed with Andy and The Reed Team and highly recommend Andy Reed if you are looking to buy or sell your property in Sea Pines.

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!

I recently listed my home with Andy Reed from the Reed Team. I could not be happier with the process. The photo that he had taken we great and the listing looks good online. I am sure it will help sell my house and very happy I selected to work with them.
