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.
Satisfied Client
David was a gift to work with in relocating to the Lowcountry. He was amazingly patient in helping us find the right house for our family, and his team did an incredible job ensuring that getting to the closing table was smooth sailing. More than a wealth of information on all things real estate, David is high character and non-anxious agent is more concerned about helping you find the right property than in closing a deal. I could not recommend David more highly.
Carol and Harlan WendellBuyers - Palmetto Bluff
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.
Tom Ruggio and Kelly Hebert-Ruggio
From our very first interaction, Beth Doudoukjian stood out for her exceptional professionalism and sincere warmth. She took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and concerns, crafting a personalized experience that made us feel genuinely valued and heard every step of the way.
Navigating the home-buying process from out of town came with its challenges, but Beth made everything feel seamless. She arranged virtual tours and video walkthroughs, connected us with reputable local resources, and was consistently responsive—always available to address our questions, no matter how small.
What truly sets Beth apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients, even after closing. She continued to provide thoughtful recommendations for local contractors and services, ensuring we felt supported well beyond the transaction.
If you’re looking for a real estate professional who blends deep expertise with heartfelt dedication, Beth Doudoukjian is the one you want by your side. We are truly grateful for her guidance, care, and advocacy throughout our journey.

We had a really great experience working with Diana Sroufe from Charter One. She was very professional, always responsive and kept us informed of everything all along the way. She has great knowledge of homes in the area and what buyers are looking for. Also she has a great network of service providers to help you through your sale and move. She did an excellent job listing our home with beautiful pictures and made sure to be on the premises at each showing to answer questions. We were so glad she represented us in selling our home. D Breunsbach
Whether you are buying or selling, Diana Sroufe is the “go to” realtor in Bluffton and the Lowcountry! In our case, she hit home runs for us on both the buy- and sell-side. Diana successfully sold our first home in Belfair for a premium price and worked with us to negotiate the purchase of another beautiful home in the same community. Both transactions required a shrewd understanding of the market dynamics and the “unique selling proposition” of each home. Diana worked with us to showcase our former home and, via FaceTime with out-of-state buyers, made the sale and quickly closed the deal. She also went above and beyond the call of duty to bring a challenging negotiation for our new home purchase to a satisfactory conclusion. We would not have closed that transaction without Diana. Also, as wonderful as Diana is, I’d like to give a shout out to her team at Charter One whose help was invaluable. You can’t go wrong with Team Sroufe!
Debbie M., Buyer
Debbie and Daniel Cort were recommended to us by very good friends. After contacting Daniel, he was very responsive and listened to what we were looking for and within a couple of days booked us for showings. Debbie kept us up to date where we were in the process from offer to closing escrow. Do not hesitate to contact them for your real estate needs.
Sally Beth and Dave Waibel Bluffton
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.

We have used Christina to represent us in the past. When it came time to sell our Port Royal Home, we knew who to call. Christina made the sale of our home so easy. At our 1st meeting, she quickly and efficiently explained the complicated documents. Christina advised us on preparing our home to present to prospective buyers. We had over 25 showings! We received multiple offers and once again, she guided us with suggestions to facilitate the best offer and terms. Christina’s advise was extremely important. Christina is GREAT!

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.
Sean R. Son of Seller - 19 Pond Drive - April 2024
Drew is the BEST! I was in a time crunch trying to clear out my mother's home before closing and Drew rolled up his sleeves and together, we got it done! Can you honestly say your agent would do that for you without being asked or guilted into helping? Not Drew. He's just that kind of guy. Drew's willing to do what he can to make your experience outstanding.

We are so excited about our move to Colleton River. Thank you so much for your guidance and knowledge of the Bluffton area to get us across the finish line.
Rudy & Lynette Shields Sea Pines (Calibogue Club)
Andy was recommended to us when we were ready to purchase a lot in our favorite vacation spot, Sea Pines, and he helped us find the perfect homesite. As our plans changed, we knew Andy could help us get the best price for selling our lot and he did. We came to Andy again when we decided to purchase a villa/home in Sea Pines. As a longtime realtor on the island, he knows and understands the market and helped us every step of the way. We are delighted with our new home and lifestyle choice. Andy gave us good solid advice along the way and helped make our transition to retirement easier. In addition to being our real estate go-to professional we are proud to also call him friend.

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!
Satisfied Client
Look no further, David Wedgeworth is your guy. We had the pleasure of working with David for three real estate transactions over the last year and a half. From immediately talking with David we could tell he had the local knowledge, drive to sell our properties, and a genuineness that put us at ease. He was always available to answer questions and kept us informed on all the details throughout our transactions. He truly went above and beyond helping us find trusted companies for repairs that needed to be made and even met them at our home when we were unable to be there. He took away any stress that comes with buying and selling property. We are so thankful for David and his exceptional group over at The Wedgeworth Team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless real estate transaction.
Terri F.Hilton Head Island
Debbie and Daniel Cort are hard-working and dedicated to the community in and around the Hilton Head area. They are diligent in selling and finding homes for their customers. I contacted them to sell my home, hoping to put it on the market in November, and it was sold by the end of November. I was hesitant because it was a lifestyle change I was not sure about, but I put my trust in Debbie and Daniel, and they advised me through each step of the process. They answered every call and question that I had. Debbie and Daniel are great listeners, and they made suggestions that I followed, which made the process less stressful. Debbie and Daniel are kind and patient, and they make selling and buying homes a positive experience.
Leigh and Michael ReardonBuyers
We had an extraordinary experience buying our Bluffton house through Marisa Cain with Charter One. She was diligent, responsive, flexible, competent, and always courteous. She was also incredibly even-keeled, helping guide us and calm us through the anxiety-producing process of buying a house in an unknown area. We were living in Northern Virginia, had just retired, and wanted to move somewhere ‘down south.’ Bluffton was one of several areas we wanted to look at during our 'southern tour.' We essentially cold-called Marisa and struck lucky. With little notice, she spent over 2 full days with us, educating us about and driving us through the various developments. She gave advice about the neighborhoods, health care, restaurants, etc. She had a good sense of the area and of the pros/cons of each development and which might best meet what we were looking for (which we weren't very clear about). When we returned to Virginia, she set up a continuing search to send us links to houses that fit our criteria until one jumped out to us. We quickly drove down and fell in love with it. She expertly guided us through the competitive buying process and was very patient with our many questions and requests. She attended inspections on our behalf in our absence. When she left on an extended vacation that coincided with our closing date, she left us in excellent hands with Diana Sroufe, the head of the office, who quickly picked up where Marisa left off, providing continuity and helping us through a last minute panic attack about a tax issue we misunderstood. Even while Marisa was gone, she was on top of everything, responding from Italy during her vacation. And after the sale, both Marisa and Diana have continued to provide us with resources, contacts, and useful information to help us get settled. They have made us feel like family rather than just another sale. We give them our highest, unqualified recommendation.
Ruth and Dick S.Sellers of 3 Cotesworth Place – September 2025
If you want a top-producing agent, choose Drew Butler. He sold our home in a short time frame despite the abundance of homes for sale in our area. It is clear that Drew’s knowledge of the Indigo Run market sets him above the rest of the agents. His preparation and use of professional tools to produce super marketing materials with top notch photography greatly contributed to the quick sale. Each step of the listing, sale and closing portions of the process were handled in a clear and decisive manner. He continually demonstrated a willingness to take the extra steps required to make "both the selling and purchasing parties more than satisfied. We highly recommend him to anyone that desires a professional to handle the sale of their home.
Scott Tease Sea Pines (Calibogue Club)
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.

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!

I cannot say enough great things about Debbie and Daniel! #1 thing is that they were everything they presented themselves to be. They were incredible guides to my wife and I as we looked for and bought our first home. They're so helpful - they really put our wishes at the forefront of everything they did and went above and beyond. 10 out of 10 - I would go through the process again with them.

Robert R.Buyer of 227 Berwick Drive - June 2025
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.
KathrynSun City Seller
I have moved many times in my life, many real estate agent were good, some not so good, but I never experienced a GREAT agents until Shelley and Gary Elliott of Charter One Realty. They went above any expectations I had in helping me get my house “show” ready to list, they helped me manage my two kitties to keep them safe during showings, they helped me dispose of belongings I did not want to move to my next home, and they arranged for a clean up after I had moved out. This was a difficult move because I am now older and alone. Shelley and Gary were always there to help me and support me with anything that came up. I can't praise them enough!

Alicia H.
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!

Alec [Smith] really did an amazing job at helping us find our beautiful home. He was very knowledgeable about the area and community we were looking in. He gave us great guidance on locating a home that met all of our family's needs. He understood our unique situation and was willing to show us several homes until we found the right one for us. He was always willing to answer questions and was by our side the whole step of the way, and assisted us with everything we needed to close. If you're looking for a new home I would recommend Alec to help you.
Dave & SharonSun City Sellers
As my wife and I celebrated our 61st anniversary last week, we also celebrated the sale of our Bluffton-Hilton Head area home! In our 61 years together, this was only the 2nd home we have ever sold. The vast experience and extensive knowledge of the Sun City area, combined with the utmost care for our entire process from Shelley, Gary and Allison, resulted in a seamless transaction. Their team took care of our sale from the pre-listing/listing, the staging, the competitive price point, the high quality marketing tools/brochure, and the special attention to every last detail while we were 800 miles away! Our home pended in the first week and closed with ease. We were so fortunate to have been paired with The Elliott Team through our daughter's (realtor in Indiana) Leading RE Referral Department. We not only found remarkable realtors, we found some very special "new friends". They are truly worthy of a 10 star rating... simply the best!
