Linda and Duke Delcher are wonderful agents to work with! Very knowledgeable and accommodating!! They spent time needed & went above and beyond to answer all questions. Extremely nice, good-hearted people!!
Jerry Knight & Holly McCollumHilton Head Island
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.

Kristen and Steven HackettBuyers
Marisa and Diana were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home-buying process. We had a very condensed amount of time ‘on the ground’ in Bluffton, and Marisa was incredibly efficient. She quickly understood what we were looking for and gave great advice (not just what we wanted to hear), and pre-screened properties sometimes faster than they were even on the market. We have bought and sold many properties over the years – Marisa’s ability to understand what was important to us and what would appeal to us was unparalleled when compared to our previous experiences.
Marisa and Diana’s advice about the market, quality of construction and other pros/cons of various properties was indispensable and helped us tremendously in our decision process. Marisa is very matter-of-fact in negotiations and helped come to practical solutions so that we reached an agreement quickly with the buyer. She kept the process moving forward throughout the period leading up to the closing, and made sure that nothing slipped through the cracks – she was always one or two steps ahead of everyone! She also has great network of service providers and was able to quickly arrange things like inspections, and happy to help painters and other contactors get access to the property during the period up to the closing.
While Marisa and Diana are amazing professionals, the best part about working with them is the personal side. You can tell that they really care about their clients from all aspects – and I know that while we won’t be clients anymore, we already have two very good friends at our new home!
Peter & Janet DawsonRose Dhu Creek Plantation
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.
The Ferrick Family, 129 Evian Villa Buyer
"Sabrina is amazing, she took the time to really get to know us and understand what type of property we were looking for. Her knowledge of real estate in general, and Hilton Head specifically, was invaluable as we are not from the area. Sabrina is an excellent communicator so we felt like we always knew exactly what was happening during what was, for us, a very quick offer to close situation. Sabrina went above and beyond what I would expect from any realtor. Even after we closed she has continued to stay in touch and been a resource. This is especially comforting as we do not live locally and it is wonderful to have someone in Hilton Head to touch base with if we have any concerns. Most importantly, Sabrina is an incredibly warm and caring person. She never pressured us and throughout the entire buying process it was clear that ultimately her goal was for us to find a very special home in Hilton Head. We feel very fortunate to have connected with Sabrina and highly recommend her!"
BH (RR) and Rebecca - 10 Dune House Lane #51
"Working with Sabrina was an absolute dream! We were looking for a condo on Hilton Head, and her local expertise was unmatched. She knows the island inside and out, and after asking us just a few thoughtful questions, she was able to narrow down our showings to condos she knew we’d fall in love with. Sabrina’s knowledge of the neighborhoods and her understanding of exactly what type of property we wanted made the process so easy and enjoyable. On top of that, she negotiated an unbelievable offer for us and truly went above and beyond to make everything seamless. She took charge, kept us informed every step of the way, and made the whole experience stress-free. If you’re looking for a realtor on Hilton Head who combines local expertise, professionalism, and a personal touch, Sabrina is the one you want in your corner!"

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.

“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.”

Monica has helped us with two real estate transactions and we consider her the best on the island. She’s efficient, honest, never pushy, and fun to work with.
Andre & Erin N.Buyer & Seller - Bluffton / Hilton Head
Dan and Debbie have walked us through the selling of our home in Bluffton and the purchase of 2 oceanfront condos on Hilton Head. They both are truly masters of their trade! They perfectly complement each other in their skills which makes for a winning combination and successful results. They are knowledgeable about the area, diligently do their homework. and have have stellar marketing and negotiation skills. But what stands out to us is their excellent people and communication skills. They both make you feel like you are their only client, are responsive to questions, network and coordinate well with other realtors and service agencies and maintain professionalism, a positive outlook and a good sense of humor throughout the process! We highly recommend them!
Jonathon J.HHI Condo Seller
We recently listed our vacation rental condo with Shelley and Gary, and it was a fantastic experience! We were kicking around the idea for a while and decided to test the water since it seemed like prices might have been going up and we figured we would see what happens. We talked to Shelley and Gary a bunch as we were deciding whether to list the unit or not, and they were incredibly helpful with all the information that they provided. Through that whole process we felt like they just wanted us to do what was best for us and we didn't feel any pressure at all to list it now as opposed to waiting. Shelley and Gary just gave us the facts with regard to current and recent listings and sales and stood behind us no matter what we decided. Ultimately, we decided to try the market for this unit, and it worked out better than we could have hoped! Throughout the entire process, the communication from Shelley and Gary was great. They made sure that we knew exactly what to expect from the process/next steps/etc...and whenever we had any questions, they were right on top of things. We have done a number of real estate transactions over the years and this experience was by far the smoothest and most pleasant one that we have had thanks to Shelley and Gary! Looking forward to the next one!
“Sabrina did an outstanding job assisting me with the purchase of my house. Her expertise in the market's geographic area was instrumental in helping me decide where I wanted to live. Sabrina was very involved with all aspects of the closing and was very friendly and was ready to help give any advice as needed.”
Buyer - Doug MilnesBluffton, SC
My wife and I had three busy and fun-filled days with Shayne. She came with a strong understanding of Bluffton and Beaufort, making quick connections with her computer and phone. Lots of multitasking! Highly recommend Shayne for a home search in the Lowcountry. Looking forward to our future purchase with her. An incredibly nice person as well!

Shari Berman and Tom DickerBuyers
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.

Hannah was extremely helpful throughout the process. She was there for every stage of the process and made sure everything was ready for us.
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.
Matthew O.
Tom was an amazing agent to work with in purchasing our first home. He had all the resources that we needed and helped us step by step with the purchase. He was able to understand and evaluate the needs of our family and made sure to show us houses that would work for us. I will work with Tom again in a heartbeat and will recommend him with out hesitation.
Christine C.
Debbie and Daniel Cort are great at what they do! The are very patient and I would highly recommend them if you are considering buying a property, they are very knowledgeable. We love our new place.
Bud and Marise KuhlkeHilton Head Island
Christina has been our realtor for the past five years. We were searching for the “perfect spot” at Hilton head and she helped us find a lovely one! She was very patient during our long search of properties. She was always available, courteous, and professional. Christina went above and beyond what would be expected by a real estate agent. Bud and I appreciate her help and recommend Christina highly!
Client of Randy FixBluffton
Randy Fix was incredible to work with on the purchase of my new home in Bluffton. When I started looking at homes, Randy was a patient and really listened to the needs and aspects that I wanted in my new home. He was able to provide great options and I was able to select a perfect home that checked every box. Besides being an all around super person, Randy is extremely knowledgeable about the area and was able to provide excellent guidance during the process. From the very first day that we met to the day I closed, Randy was always there to support and help me with my home purchase. He acts with great integrity which was very important to me and it was clear that he is respected in the community. Randy has an easy going personality but don't be fooled, he gets the job done efficiently, quickly and perfectly. If I ever need help with real estate in the area, I will use him again and recommend him to anyone who needs help. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because he deserves them!
Joe SerraSea Pines (Marsh Wren)
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.
Satisfied Buyer & Seller
Marvin did a wonderful job assisting us with the sell and purchase of our homes. As one who isn't very knowledgeable about everything that it takes to navigate the process of selling and buying a home, he patiently walked with us through the entire journey. He gave us advice on what we should do to get our house staged and ready to sell and also helped a lot in the negotiating process to help us get to a comfortable price for the purchase of our new home. Marvin is a man of true honesty and integrity as a real estate agent, which is refreshing in the culture in which we live. I can't recommend him highly enough!
The Toebbe FamilyBluffton
Donna & I would like to thank you Jack Menzie for the professionalism he provided to us in buying our new home. Jack there every step of the way and his insights helped us tremendously. His knowledge of the local market made our house hunting more enjoyable and stress-free. I would strongly recommend to anyone looking to buy a home to utilize Jack's services.
Thanks again!!!
Melissa T.
Debbie and Daniel were fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond to make the purchase as easy as possible. They were also able to recommend a great financial and legal team to work with throughout our process. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future purchases.
Satisfied Client
From start to finish, James [Wedgeworth] provided exemplary service. His knowledge of the market and his proactive approach made the selling process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend his services.
John Kelley
Carolyn Welch is an amazing real estate broker. She is incredibly knowledgeable and equally as responsive. She also showed great patience and was a great resource for finding an attorney, lender and all things related to a real estate purchase. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase property in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area.
Diana Sroufe - Fellow Charter One Realty Colleague
I first had the opportunity to work with Sabeth Biangone when she represented the buyers and I represented the sellers in a transaction. From the beginning, we worked extremely well together. We each understood who we represented and advocated for our respective clients, but we also understood that ultimately we had a shared goal—to bring our buyers and sellers together and get everyone successfully to the closing table.
Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Sabeth in other situations, and I’ve seen firsthand how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She has a wonderful ability to reassure them, listen to their concerns and confidently guide them through the decisions that come with buying or selling a home.
One experience that particularly impressed me was when Sabeth invited me to meet with clients whose Belfair home she was preparing to list. She had represented them when they purchased the property, and when they questioned whether her recommended listing price might be too low, Sabeth wanted another perspective from someone with extensive experience in the Belfair market. I thought that said a great deal about her. Her priority wasn't proving that she was right—it was making sure her clients had the information and confidence they needed to make the right decision.
Sabeth and I have become friends since that first transaction, and I have tremendous respect for her both personally and professionally. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again—whether we're on the same side of a transaction or sitting across the table representing our respective clients.
