We highly recommend Christine for purchasing a home in the Beaufort County area. We worked with her remotely while living in Maryland, and the process was simple and rewarding. Once we shared our requirements, Christine continuously provided options that met our needs. She worked around our timelines, never rushed us, and flexibly accommodated home tours whenever we visited South Carolina. Once we chose a home, the deal closed within a few hours while we were traveling back to Maryland. Both before and after closing, Christine unexpectedly but generously offered to meet vendors and check on the property until we moved. She always had our best interests in mind. Anyone choosing Christine as their realtor will receive excellent attention and support.

Alec has been absolutely wonderful! It took us awhile to find the home we wanted and he was extremely patient and knowledgeable.. And definitely went out of his way to help us in any way he can could! We highly recommend him!!!

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.

Debbie and Daniel Cort are amazing! They are very helpful and walk through the whole process with you. Very responsive and there are no bad questions. I was very impressed with their knowledge of the market and their drive to find exactly what you are looking for. When it came time to make an offer they were right on top of everything and kept us in the loop of all the changes made by the sellers. I highly recommend them as they are very professional and friendly and will find you the home you are looking for.

Shelley and Gary are the best!  They helped myself and my brother purchase a condo at Hilton Head Resort.  We had a complicated situation with my brother being located in South Korea.  Timing and communication were tricky.  Every potential issue was handled with patience and understanding.  Their communication is top notch and expertise of the area is second to none.  We were able to get a fantastic deal in a very competitive and fast-moving market thanks to the hard work of Shelley and Gary.  You will not be disappointed with the service you and get from Shelley and Gary Elliott.

Ethan is native to the LowCountry, and his knowledge of the Beaufort area and its housing market is exceptional. My family is so grateful to have had his assistance and insight through our home buying process. Would recommend this team without reservation.

“Sabrina was by far the best realtor we have ever used. She is the ultimate professional when it comes to real estate. Sabrina worked with us for several months to find the right house and worked with us through the entire process. She never let a day go by without assisting with inspectors, contractors etc. Highly recommend Sabrina to both sell and purchase a property. You won't find a better realtor!!!! Outstanding!!”

“ It has been a pleasure to work with Paul Rittenhouse.. Selling a house is such a stressful experience. Using Paul as our agent took much of the worry out of the process. Paul is a no-nonsense, get-it-done kind of guy. He always extended an invitation to call him if we had any questions. What was so amazing about Paul, was he responded so quickly no matter what the question or concern was. We have had other experiences buying and selling homes, but we have never had anyone who genuinely seemed to care about us and our needs. His attention to detail is second to none; therefore, we highly recommend Paul to get the job done in the best possible way.”

Alec was great from the start. Knowledgeable of the area and the local market, which was a huge plus since I live out of town . I was confident and trusted his experience and guidance through the sale of my Bull Point Plantation lot; he is very active and involved. If you need a realtor in Bull Point or in Beaufort, give Alec a call!

We originally met Marisa when friends of ours used her to purchase their home in Bluffton this past February. They spoke so highly of her and how helpful she was during their move from NJ. Marissa completely understood our requirements for purchasing our vacation home. It took only two days of viewing homes with her to find our perfect spot. That is because of all the behind-the-scenes leg work and research she put into everything. She is an excellent communicator and fabulous with follow through; two important criteria for us as our primary home is in GA. In addition to every step in the buying process, once we closed, she was there with resources for every thing and every one a new resident might need to know. We highly recommend Marisa to any potential buyers!

We enjoyed a warm and welcoming feeling from The Reed Team. Andy really listened to what our dreams were, and then showed us how to make them come true ...with absolutely no pressure. It is also interesting to note, that even after our purchase, he continues to offer support, updating us on other HHI opportunities, new restaurants and community news. We look forward to visiting HHI, and know we have a friend there when we arrive.

We used Duke to buy and sell our first house on Hilton Head Island. Our experience was so positive we returned to him to purchase our second. Duke is prompt, thorough, knows the market and pushed us just enough to look in a neighborhood we weren’t leaning towards and it ended up being the perfect spot. We are thrilled with our new home and would return to Duke again with any real estate needs. We highly recommend Duke and Linda!

100% recommend Julianne. This was me and my wife’s first time buying a home and I cannot image how difficult it could have been with a realtor who only did the bare minimum. Julianne has been working with us for 4 months to find a house and has been very responsive proactive and always working behind the scenes to make everything as smooth and easy as possible for us. She was very real with us, talked us down on a few houses where she saw problems that we did not to make sure that we, as first time home buyers, were not going to get ourselves into a house we could not handle or end up spending a ton of money in the future on potential unforeseen repairs. Now we have closed on a house that we are completely in love with and it would not have been possible without her. Thank you so much Julianne!

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.

“Sabrina was the listing agent on my condo at the Preserve in Hilton Head. We owned the unit for over 15 years and used it as rental; vacation home and primary residence over the years, it definitely had sentimental value to us. When it was time to sell, I decided to select an agent based on the recent sales in the community. I selected (3) agents by looking at Zillow Sold Properties, Sabrina was the only one that took my call on Saturday afternoon. We met with her the following Monday and within the week property was listed. Sabrina was very professional, straight forward and promised to look after our home after we left (we are from Nevada). Sabrina did an excellent job advertising the property, she was there before and after every showing, provided us with feedback and held several open houses. Sabrina’s hard work and dedication resulted in 2 offers after just 4 weeks on the market (July 2025 was already a buyers’ market). We sold the unit for price we wanted, entire process was super easy, she took care of the inspections, got us in touch with great attorney and pretty much took care of any issues that came up from the moment we handed her the keys. Sabrina is one of the best real estate agents we have worked with, and we would recommend her to any buyer or seller. Thank you Sabrina!!!”

Matt and Kara are an amazing team. They took care of all the small details through the prospecting stages from dinner recommendations to making sure the homes we saw were the ones that fit our checklist. Once we were under contract Matt and Kara handled the negotiations with the sellers with pure class. 10 out 10 experience working with the Raehn team.

Duke and Linda Delcher recently sold our home in Berkeley Hall. They were very good at marketing the home with top notch advertising and photography for the property. Their support staff at Charter One Realty was also very professional. When issues arose during the negotiations and closing, they were quick to respond.

"Matt and Kara have been the absolute best realtors we have ever dealt with. They are a great team and the minute we met them we knew we had chosen the right realtors. They were professional and knowledgeable about the entire process of listing our house, anticipating any concerns before they became issues. They were always one step ahead of the process and the best thing of all is that they are simply wonderful people. My wife and I feel so fortunate that we found them to help us sell our home, which ultimately was both easy and seamless."

We have executed multiple transactions with Andy as both buyers and sellers. He is, without question, the most thorough, well researched, and intelligent minds you will find in real estate, anywhere, not just in Sea Pines. He combines a conscientious, service-based style, with a keen business sense and impressive marketing skills. Any transaction we ever do will be with Andy Reed. If you’re smart, you will too.

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!

If anyone is looking to sell or buy a home, Lonnie Goulet is the realtor to contact. She goes above and beyond to make what can be a difficult experience, turn into an easy transition. She will jump in to help even if it is not part of her job. This is our second experience working with Lonnie and never once has she tried to mislead us to make a sale. She is such an HONEST LADY...... and a Beautiful one to boot......Highly recommend Her....

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!

Drew's expertise in the Hilton Head market led us to Windmill Harbour several years ago, and so when it came time to sell, we never hesitated to put our home in his hands.  From the beginning, Drew led the effort.  He sat us down and provided sound advice on price in the current marketplace.   Drew brought in a stager to present the home in the best light possible, and then produced a breathtaking brochure.  He worked tirelessly to get us 30 showings and several offers in this tight market.  He followed up with buyer agents as well as my wife and me on a constant basis.  Drew and his staff went above and beyond our already high expectations, and in the end, we closed seven weeks after we listed with an all- cash sale.

You patiently walked us through every stage, & we can't thank you enough, Andy [Twisdale], & will certainly recommend you in the future.  YOU'RE THE BEST

Christina Forbis Client Hilton 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.
