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.

As first time homebuyers and now owners! We were beyond grateful for how Sander’s helped us during this process and how he made a way for us against all odds (LITERALLY: market being crazy high, outside of our budget, and the island being in such high demands) somehow, sanders made a miracle take place for us and we are truly grateful! Sanders was also incredibly communicative and very articulate in helping us understand the process from beginning to end. Honestly, the professionalism exceeded our expectations and we wouldn’t have wanted to be with any other realtor!

I had a great experience with Tom. Back in June I put my house on the market and I needed to find my forever home, but due to the pandemic I was very nervous. Until I meet Tom he insured me that he will be there for me and my family every step of the way and that’s what he did. He went above and beyond for us. He made our selling and buying experience a great one and we are so happy that we had Tom represent us. If you want someone to find you the forever home or helping you sell your home call Tom you will not be disappointed.

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.

Purchased a home in Sea Pines with Andy and the Reed Team. Andy’s knowledge of the local area and the individual communities was very helpful. He worked with us over the span of two years as we searched for the right second home. During our search we came to the island several times and when Andy was not available Rich took us around. Then when we finally decided on a home, Andy and his Dad were both there to help out. It’s really a team approach and we appreciated that very much. As if finding the perfect home was not enough we were actually living out of the country when we went under contract - 2,500 miles away in Asia. Andy kept us up to date and on track for our closing. If you are looking for an agent or a team of agents that care about finding you the right home or second home - call on Andy and the Reed Team.

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.

“Sabrina Zeoli stands out from the rest! Having worked with numerous real estate agents nationwide and in Hilton Head Island (HHI), we found Sabrina to be truly the greatest of all time (The GOAT). We were blessed to meet Sabrina at an open house and immediately connected with her. She guided us on an amazing journey that led us to purchase our 30-year dream beach home on HHI! Sabrina is not just a real estate agent; we now proudly call her our friend. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank You Sabrina!”

We met Rich back in 2017 when we first decided to look into buying a home on HHI. Although that first trip to the Island was just to get an understanding of the market and what we would be looking at when purchasing, he never pressured us or made us feel like we had to make a decision at that time. Rich’s immense knowledge of the area along with his easy-going style and ability to listen to our wants and needs made the search very enjoyable. We were ready to make a purchase in 2020 and found our home on the first day of looking. We had 4 years vacationing in our home, but due to some changes in our free time, we decided to put it on the rental market during months we weren’t able to be on the island. We did decide to sell the house in December of 2024, and Rich, once again, held our hand through this side of the sales process. We have enjoyed working with Rich, and becoming friends with him and his family, and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell on HHI or Bluffton.

After renting a winter getaway home in the low country for six years, we decided to take the plunge and purchase a vacation home.  We started our search on the internet, and the very first listing we liked happened to be listed by Rich Reed with Charter One Realty.  This introduction led to us signing on with Rich to guide our search, and was a stroke of good fortune, for Rich is one of the leading brokers in the entire region and knows the markets first-hand.  This in-depth knowledge, coupled with his extensive experience in putting deals together, served us well, as the property we kept coming back to presented us with some challenges.  It was on a beautiful lot with scenic views and had appealing architecture, but it suffered from deferred maintenance and outdated interior finishes which we needed to reflect in our offer.  Rich was particularly helpful with his many local contacts who helped us with various cost estimates, and he also kept our negotiations on track with the seller.  His deal-making expertise proved invaluable as we came to know more about the property’s needs than the seller, which led to some protracted negotiations.  In the end Rich’s patience, persistence, and skill got us over the goal line.  As we worked with Rich it became evident that he understood where we were coming from, and what was most important to us, and he focused on our priorities to get the deal done.  We highly recommend Rich Reed for any low country real estate requirements.

Last Spring, David [Hill] helped my husband and I find a perfect house in Hilton Head.  We started looking at houses when we were vacationing in March and ended up closing on a house in July.  David listened well to what our interests were in a house, sending us information weekly on houses that were available.  Going through the process of buying the home, we had many questions which David was always eager to answer, never making us feel uncomfortable to ask yet another question.  We would highly recommend David Hill to either sell your home or to use him to help find that perfect vacation home.

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.

I am writing to firmly recommend Diana Sroufe for her outstanding service as a real estate agent. Throughout my husband’s and my experience working with Diana, we were consistently impressed by her exceptional qualities and dedication to her clients. We both listed a home and found and purchased our new home with Diana. Diana possesses an exceptional level of knowledge of the real estate market in the community which provides invaluable insights to make the best decisions. She meticulously guided us through every step of the real estate process and answered any questions which was comforting and helped us feel very supported. Most notable was Diana’s positive energy which was infectious, creating an atmosphere of optimism and confidence even in the most challenging situations. Beyond her positive demeanor, Diana is incredibly resourceful. As well, her willingness to go the extra mile honestly is limitless. For the home we were selling she provided assistance with contractors for any items that needed to be completed before closing. She met the contractors at the home to ensure everything was done properly and in a timely fashion. In summary, my husband and I cannot recommend Diana Sroufe highly enough. Her experienced and supportive approach, attention to detail, positive energy and willingness to go the extra mile make her an invaluable asset for selling a home or purchasing a new home. All of Diana’s qualities helped us feel very comfortable during this time of change in our lives.

Alec Smith is absolutely amazing to deal with and should be your only choice for Lowcountry real estate. I worked with him for almost two years before we finally found a property and he was never impatient or pushy. He worked very hard to find me exactly what I was looking for even though it wasn't a really large real estate purchase. We eventually bought land instead of a home but he worked as if he was selling us a mansion. I would definitely say he is driven by relationships over paychecks. Alec is very knowledgeable of the local real estate environment and has many resources at his disposal to help you make the proper decision. He provided many other points of contact that will be helpful as we move forward with our build. I will only use Alec for any purchases I make in the Beaufort area.

“Ethan did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our new home. Since we weren’t familiar with the area, his local expertise was both valuable and greatly appreciated. He was consistently responsive and guided us through every aspect of the process—especially impressive given that much of the transaction was handled remotely. Ethan went above and beyond during the closing process. He and his team maintained clear and constant communication, keeping us informed every step of the way. He offered thoughtful advice and recommendations we wouldn’t have considered on our own. Ethan was friendly, professional, and accommodating throughout. He even took the time to provide helpful referrals for landscaping, handyman, and contracting services—an added bonus that made settling in much easier. We’re truly grateful for his support and highly recommend his services.”

“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.”

Simply outstanding from start to finish! Sabrina did a great job finding and showing us the perfect unit. Most importantly, she excelled with all the follow-up details. Buying a second property can be challenging, but Sabrina made the entire process easy and stress-free. We needed assistance with handyman services and insurance, and she provided several excellent options to choose from on the island. She also helped with setting up the condo, which was a tremendous help. Nicely done, Sabrina! Thank you again for all your hard work and support.

Julianne Clark helped myself and my husband find a home and close within a month and a half !! She was so helpful and worked with us long distance until I was able to get to the state where I was buying. Julianne made sure to always address my concerns and put our needs first in the process of buying our home. Julianne is also very familiar with the low country and has given us the best information about the area. My favorite experience buying my first home! Many laughs exchanged and a lot of questions answered!

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!
