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!

“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.”

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!!

We recently sold our home on Hilton Head through Christina Forbis. We have known her for several years and found her a warm, compassionate and completely trustworthy person. She has extensive knowledge of the island realty market as well as workers, agents, bankers, service people and contractors.. Selling a home usually entails some degree of stress for the sellers. Not so with her. Working with Christina was a pleasure and effortless with us. She leaves no loose ends and was always available to answer our questions and concerns. She was relentless in her work, always showing and promoting our home to potential buyers. As we live out of state,Christina was kind enough to handle many of our last minute details on her own time. She loves her work, is a true professional and a wonderful friend. All  her hard work produced a buyer with a good cash offer. Needless to say we were very pleased. Thank You Christina!

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.

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.

We wandered into Michael Haire’s office unannounced and without any plan to leave California and move to Palmetto Bluff. Fast forward just a few months, and we were back for a “visit”. Michael’s knowledge of the community and his ability to assess and respond to what we liked and didn’t like as we toured homes made the buying experience easy. His dry sense of humor made it fun. With his help, we found the perfect home and closed escrow painlessly, despite doing so long distance. He is a consummate professional, a great guy and the best broker we’ve ever worked with anywhere.

Drew Butler has helped me sell and purchase a house and a condominium in the last year and a half. He and his team could not be more attentive and professional than they have been. Drew was always there when I had a question or needed information about the process. His staff made sure every necessary detail was covered to afford a smooth transition. I wouldn’t take a chance with anyone else in these important matters.

Our experience with the Delchers in buying a new home and then selling ours was terrific! 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/ HiltonHead  area planning to buy or sell a home.

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!

Sanders was a huge asset to our process / purchase. He was knowledgeable, organized and extremely personable. I would rate him 6 stars on all categories if I could. He was very patient in our process but also very communicative. We purchased from Maine, so our process could be considered a bit longer than a typical transaction. He had a great balance of being "in touch", but not too vigorous which I really appreciated. I am very confident when I say that anybody has Sanders represent them in a transaction will be very pleased with his work. He is a very genuine and honest. After the sale he didn't stop trying to help us get situated in Low Country. We don't plan to have another transaction soon, but there is no question Sanders would be our first call if we did!

All I can say is wow!!! I was trying to sell my parents' home following their passing and was very concerned and worried. When I engaged The Elliott Team, everything from our first meeting all the way through settlement went smoothly and quickly. I was nervous, but the Team was always there with advice and words of encouragement. The experience was so seamless that when and if I need to sell my home, I will engage them again. I've even referred The Team to a couple of friends and neighbors. They are the best!!

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.

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!

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....

We were referred to Hannah for the sale of our home. We had a tough order for her. We made a contingent offer on another home out-of-state and had to get our home listed within just 3 days. We also had a short window to get our place sold. Not only did she get our home photographed and listed within that 48 hours, she got it under contract and closed weeks before the contingent contract on our new home expired. When I had questions or concerns, Hannah had solutions! She was never a roadblock. Her real estate knowledge is phenomenal and she knows how to close a deal! If you want a realtor to be your best advocate, you want Hannah Howell! If you want a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients, you want Hannah Howell! If you want a realtor to close the deal, you want Hannah Howell! Thank you, Hannah! We are grateful for you!

Carolyn Welch was my realtor and I couldn't have asked for a better person to navigate buying a home in Sun City SC. She was knowledgeable, kind and patient. She listened to my needs and was able to find the perfect home for me. One of the best things about Carolyn is her responsiveness to any questions or concerns might have. She was a pleasure to work with and a good representative of The John Weber Team of Charter One Realty.

The Elliotts are quite the team!!! They work extremely well together and never leave a stone unturned. After selling several homes over 50 years, they, without a doubt, provided the best service of any realtor I have previously used. I would not hesitate to call on them again myself or to recommend them to others.

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!

Duke and Linda directed the sale of our home in a most professional way.  Their cadre of professionals put together an effective marketing effort that saved us time and removed any doubt about the outcome.   Duke especially is a man of few words, each chosen carefully with truth at their core.  In a profession marked by lots of hype and hoopla, Delcher’s do better.  They deliver results.

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.

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.

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.
