“Matt and Kara Raehn made the incredibly daunting task of selling our first home extremely manageable and less scary. While it was a ton of work, they made sure to hold my hand through it all and taught us how to get our home ready to list and made sure it sold for what we were hoping for. We quite literally could not have done it without them!”

"Buying a house with Cort Lifestyle Pros was like having dinner with old friends. They helped us with every step of the process and anticipated our needs. Daniel and Debbie Cort went above and beyond before, during and after our home purchase. We will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.”

10 out of 5 Stars! Julianne is the quintessential realtor…leaves no stone unturned in order to consummate the transaction…if you choose someone else, you haven’t chosen the best.
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!

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!

"We recently sold our home with the help of Matt and Kara Raehn, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our very first meeting, they brought a perfect balance of professionalism, market expertise, and genuine care that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Matt and Kara guided us through every step — from preparing the home, to setting the right price, marketing it strategically, and negotiating the sale. Thanks to their hard work, we had strong interest right away and received an offer in no time. What stood out the most was their communication. They were always available to answer questions, offer advice, and keep us informed at every turn. Their attention to detail and dedication to our success truly went above and beyond our expectations. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, we wholeheartedly recommend Matt and Kara. Their professionalism, experience, and personal touch made all the difference — and we are so grateful to have had them by our side."

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Shelley and Gary Elliott for all your real estate needs. They went above and beyond to list and sell my brother's home. From the very beginning, Shelley and Gary took the time to meet with me on Memorial Day, since I was in town for only a short time. They were able to understand my needs and provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process. When I had to return home, they spent countless hours overseeing the work that needed to be done on my brother's home. Gary kept me updated every step of the way with photos, videos and texts. Since I could not be there, they recommended and lined up reputable resources to complete the work that needed to be done. Shelley was always honest and transparent with me. She was always available to answer my many questions and concerns. Shelley walked me through the process step by step, even though I was out of state. I highly recommend Shelley and Gary to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. They are true professionals. They will work tirelessly to ensure that their client's needs are met. Thank you for everything!

“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.”

When it was time to downsize my home on Hilton Head Island, I called Angela Barbic. After living here for over 50 years, I had a long list of “must haves.” Angela listened. She took the time to understand what mattered the most. As she suggested homes, she made sure I knew all the details, amenities and community rules. She was always quick to respond to any questions, sometimes having to do research for the answers, but always got right back to me. Thanks to her, we found my perfect new home. She stayed by my side every step of the way, financing, inspections, and closing. Her suggestions and recommendations have been absolutely invaluable.
Mark, Ethan, and their team did a great job with the sale of our house. Through ever changing markets and adversity with buyers, they managed to sell the home quickly, according to our moving timeline. They had all of the resources we could need at the ready and scheduled all required inspections and maintenance for us. Highly recommended.
Satisfied Client
Chip was outstanding in every way! He is personable and well prepared. His robust analytics helped us settle on an appropriate pricing strategy that netted a full price offer in just five days! He has a full array of repairman, painters and housecleaners who worked efficiently to get the home into pristine condition. Moreover, since we had to be out of town on move-out day, he helped oversee the move. We were blown away by his professionalism and personal kindness. It was an exceptional experience at every level.
Michael and Gina CelesteBuyers - Latitude Margaritaville
My wife and I recently purchased a resale home in Latitude Margaritaville, Hilton Headed. The whole experience from beginning, to our new beginning, was exceptional. Our realtor and neighbor, Brenda Kline was professional, informative, respectful, responsive and fun. She truly made the process and transition an easy one. Thank you Brenda. Living in paradise began with you.
Heather Schumacher, Buyer, Palmetto Dunes
“Sabrina did an outstanding job throughout the process. She was extremely responsive and proactive in locating listings that we would be interested in based upon our discussions with her. She also assisted in the negotiation process to help us get the best deal in light of the appraisal on the property we were buying. I would highly recommend her, especially for non-Hilton Head residents like ourselves.”
Beth & PatsyBluffton Seller
Shelley and Gary came highly recommended to assist us in the sale of my mother’s home and they did not disappoint! They are a wonderful team and we felt completely confident in their capable hands! They explained everything in the process with patience and thorough communication. They were willing to assist us in every aspect during the course of getting the house ready to sell and moving my mother to assisted living with numerous resources. They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and quickly! We feel extremely blessed to have worked with them in the sale of my mom’s home.
The Schultz'sBuyers - Colleton River
When my husband & I were researching golf community properties in the Hilton Head/Beaufort/Bluffton area, we found Linda & Duke Delcher. They were not only very professional; but they understood our needs and let us find the right place for us. No opinions; no pressure. We eventually found our home (the last one we looked at) and we couldn't be happier! Duke and Linda were great to work with & we would recommend them with great enthusiasm!
Joan & SteveSellers - Rose Dhu Creek Plantation
Steve and I are so happy that we selected Shelley and Gary to sell our home in Rose Dhu Creek Plantation. We have been married 50 years and over that period of time we have purchased and sold 17 homes. The process of buying and selling real estate is very familiar to us and it is without hesitation, that we can say that Gary and Shelley are the best, most professional and experienced agents we have ever met. When anyone was in our home, they were always in attendance to answer any questions and assure that showings and inspections were concluded with optimum results. They facilitated the process of moving far beyond what one should expect from real estate agents. We hired Shelley and Gary based on a recommendation from a neighbor and friend and so glad that we did.
Patrick S.Hilton Head Island
We started a search for Hilton Head properties a few months ago when we were connected to Daniel and Deb Cort. When I spoke to Daniel he listened to exactly what I was looking for and what I wanted to do. He offered up his suggestions as a friend would when helping you to make a decision. My wife and I immediately felt very comfortable with his tremendous knowledge of the Island and the best places to look. He was able to walk us through properties while we were in FL and his attention to detail was amazing as we bought a property without actually walking through it. We were able to do this because of the trust and faith we quickly put in him and his team. When we started the process of the offer and negotiation, his wife Deb took over and her attention to detail and follow up was AMAZING. Again, we were doing this from 4 hours away and needed someone to represent us as they would a family member. That is truly what they have become to us. We then got a number of suggestions from them on handymen and rental agents and they have all been spot on. I can't give enough of a 5 star rating here as I would love to give more. They treated us like family and when you are making a large purchase it can be overwhelming. They truly went the extra mile to do more than asked!
SusanBluffton Seller & Buyer
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Shelley and Gary! I’ve bought and sold 8 homes and this process was by far most supportive and enjoyable. They recently handled both a sale and purchase, all which took place in 2 quick months. They both went above and beyond every aspect of the sales. Their knowledge of the market and home buying process is without flaw. I hope to refer many clients to them in the future! I’m very thankful I made the decision to work with them.
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.
Bill and Diane WattHilton Head Island
Christina did a fantastic job! She was professional, knowledgeable, and competent throughout the entire process of selling our home. Most importantly, she listened! She "heard" our expectations and offered realistic advice that resulted in a quick and successful sale. She was in constant contact during the sale and even graciously offered assistance on the purchase of our new home. She goes "above and beyond" for her clients. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and recommend Christina to anyone considering the sale of their home.
“I have bought and sold 8 homes in my lifetime and Sabrina is by far the best Real Estate Agent I have ever experienced. My last purchase was in a very competitive market with multiple offers being presented on each home we were interested in. Sabrina was always there providing us guidance on each and every house we bid on. Although it took us several months to find our dream home, in the end we purchased our home for a fair value. In addition to her great negotiating skills, she helped navigate us through a difficult and challenging mortgage loan process. Near the end she even escalated to the Vice President of the bank to push our loan across the finish line. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Hilton Head Island SC. She is simply the best.”

“Paul worked real hard to sell our place when the time came he had to. He worked on our behalf to sell it. He was very easy to get a hold of any time I needed him. I would use him again.“
Seller of Holly GroveBluffton
Duke (especially with his background) and Linda have an excellent grasp of the condition of the real estate market in gated communities. Both Linda and Duke are responsive and provide frank information on the market and what should or should not be done to sell your property.
Satisfied ClientBeaufort, SC
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!
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.

“For someone who’s never bought a house before, I was very fortunate to have Daniel and Debbie for a team. Between Daniel showing me home after home and Debbie’s updates on the backend of everything, they made the process of buying a home stress-free.”

Alec Smith was great to work with. His knowledge of the area and local market conditions made the entire process easy. I would recommend Alec to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Bull Point Plantation community.
Ray ChappelBattery Point, Beaufort SC
Alec Smith is very personable, a good listener and easy to work with. He is proactive and very knowledgeable of the local property market and contacts in the area. He kept us appraised of the status of the listing throughout the process and made recommendations to aid in selling the property. He sold our property when two other prior Realtors could not. We strongly recommend Alec to others.
Laura Burke
“Paul successfully marketed and sold two homes for us on Long Island at our asking prices. He is knowledgeable, gave us great advice, and was so easy to work with, not to mention having a great sense of humor! Additionally, he has an extensive knowledge of construction and was able to guide us on needed repairs. I highly recommend him as a sales professional.”
Mark Rushton was a great help in purchasing my first home. He helped me through the process while out of state in a different time zone. He even went as far as replacing the old refrigerator in the house himself. He knows the area and I ended up buying a house recommended by him that I was unaware of. I would recommend him as a real estate agent.
