In 2014, Christina helped us find our “forever home” in our “forever community.” Our daughters settled in the region, and now 5 grandchildren later we needed more room. Christina helped us develop a buy/sell strategy as well as navigate one of the more dynamic real estate markets in years. Christina’s professionalism and attention to details are unparalleled. We successfully purchased on next “forever home” in the same community we have grown to love – Port Royal Plantation. If you can imagine it, Christina can make it happen- I have seen her do it!

We have had the pleasure of working with Andy Reed on three real estate transactions.  We have bought, sold, and bought again with Andy.  It took us a couple of years to decide to sell our first house and buy something else.  Andy was extremely patient with us.  We never felt pressured to do something we weren’t ready to do.  His knowledge of the market and experience is vast which helped us in getting top dollar for our home and the best deal we could on our new property.  Communication is key when buying and selling real estate from a far.  Andy and his assistant, Ashley, were phenomenal communicators and handled every minute detail for us.  I don’t know what we would have done without them.  I don’t know what the future holds, but rest assured, if I buy or sell another property in Hilton Head, Andy Reed will be the first phone call I make.

The best relationships are based on trust and excellent communication skills. Alec [Smith] is an absolute professional. The communication level was often but not overwhelming and was supported with good data to help make educated decisions in a rapidly changing market.

This is the second time Richard has served as a broker for us. On both occasions his attention to detail, communication skills and hands-on involvement were exceptional. We would highly recommend Richard to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent to represent them in either the sale or purchase of real property.

Not all Realtors are created equal, which is why we chose Marvin Hall, the BEST in the Lowcountry. We recently relocated to Bluffton, SC, and engaged Marvin Hall of Charter One Realty to represent us in our real estate purchase. Prior to our arrival, we spoke with Marvin and gave him our list of wants and needs. Marvin listened carefully to our requirements, prepared a tailored selection of properties for us to view, and efficiently guided us to a successful contract. Marvin demonstrated thorough knowledge of South Carolina real estate regulations, taxes, and community fees. He negotiated effectively and represented us admirably. We highly recommend Marvin Hall for your next home sale or purchase.

When we decided to sell our townhouse we interviewed a number of realtors. We were most impressed with the presentation and professional approach of the Reed team. Most important to us was the way they kept us informed of progress and market conditions on a regular basis. They worked aggressively on our behalf and sold our property for what we felt was a fair and reasonable price.

We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Christine Reid! We were visiting Hilton Head Island just to explore Long Cove and Wexford and never expected to make an offer—let alone close on a home one month later. This is a second home for us, and we hadn’t been through the buying process in 25 years, but Christine made everything feel seamless and genuinely enjoyable.She was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly had our best interests at heart. She stayed on top of every detail, communicated promptly, and guided us with confidence every step of the way. We always felt supported and at ease.

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 asked Christina Forbis to handle the sale of my Port Royal home because I appreciated the way she represented the sellers when I bought my home and because I knew of her outstanding reputation in the community. I was never disappointed. At every point in the sale, she went above and beyond what you might expect from a realtor.  No matter how busy she was, she always made me feel like I was her top priority. Christina provides a concierge level experience, dealing with all issues with grace and professionalism.

“Sabrina has been most responsive and helpful. She keeps on top of every aspect of the transaction. When looking for properties, she sets up viewings (in my case virtual) very quickly and provides her opinion on overall condition. I would highly recommend Sabrina to help in your property search.”

Neil [Castellane] handled the sale of my condo, my husband’s condo, and subsequently the purchase of our beautiful new home on the island. Neil walked us through all of the steps and explained things in a way that was easily understandable (even the complicated paperwork). He provided a wealth of information when we had questions, and made excellent recommendations. He was very detail-oriented and told us what to expect, what items of the transaction we would be responsible for in each instance (whether buying or selling), and what kind of timeframe to expect. He kept things moving in a timely manner and was easily accessible when we had questions or needed information. Neil treats you like a PERSON - not a dollar sign, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent in the area!

Alec was great right from the start at listening to what we wanted and pivoting as we worked through where we wanted to buy property near Beaufort. He was always working for us to find the right properties and builders. We would recommend him to anyone either buying or selling a home and especially if you’re moving into the Lowcountry from out of state.

Relocating from not just out of state, but from the opposite side of the country, was a massive undertaking, and a bit scary. Gary and Shelley Elliott were the perfect guides for helping us find our new home. From the moment with we met with them, we were immediately comfortable working with them. They listened, they heard us, and helped talk us down from some stressful moments, all the while keeping their positive attitude and sense of humor. They not only helped us find our perfect home, they are so knowledgeable about the Sun City Hilton Head community. They went above and beyond, even helping us find a rental home to live in during our new home search. They put us in touch with local contractors and service providers to help make our move as stress free as possible. They are true professionals who care about their clients. We can not recommend them highly enough!

“Sabrina’s not just a great Hilton Head realtor, she’s a super-fantastic one! Sort of like a one-person welcome committee, providing useful tips and advice for what a newcomer needs to know about the housing market, specific homes and the local area. She treated my husband and I as if we were her ONLY clients. She made time for us. She got to know us and our housing preferences. And she sold us the house of our dreams in a very short period of time. But she didn’t stop there. She helped us secure temporary housing prior to our closing. She recommended great trades people, landscaper, cleaner, attorney and even restaurants. She also recommended a mover to the seller when they couldn’t find one that met our deadline. In short, Sabrina goes above and beyond, is passionate about what she does and, most of all, is someone who cares.”

Our experience with Christina Forbis in purchasing a house on Hilton Head Island couldn’t have been better! Her ability to dial in a house for our needs, and point us in the right direction was fantastic. During the process of closing on the house,  her communication was outstanding in solving any problems. After we purchased the house, her help and guidance in selecting the right contractors for our remodel needs was invaluable. It certainly helps to have a person who is dialed in on Hilton Head Island!

Tom Defazio was always available on short notice to show us properties we were interested in. Over a period of several months he was responsive to our changing property wish list and desired locations. In the end he helped us secure the right property in a great location. We recommend him without hesitation.

If real estate is all about location, location, location, James Wedgeworth takes it to another level: connections, connections, connections. Add common sense and a 24/7 drive to get deals and get ‘em done—experience counts and you’d be lucky to have him and his wonderful associate Mary Stuedemann in your corner. Our home got a lot of views and James was very skillful in negotiating a great purchase offer for us. Unfortunately the house needed new pipes which caused delays and there were complications about the survey. Each of these could have derailed the deal but James used great tact and called upon his career’s worth of contacts to move the two big issues forward. He kept us informed every step of the way. We’re convinced a less experienced and less connected agent would not have held it together to closing.

“Sabrina did an excellent job in selling our villa. We have worked with her on both sides of a real estate transaction as she helped us with the purchase of a property as well as selling a property. She has been great in both situations. What sets her apart from other realtors is as follows: - she is extremely proactive in her overall approach providing peace of mind that the process is being actively managed, - she assisted in coordinating contractors to address inspector comments immediately following receipt of the comments, - our property was a rental and she worked with the management company to seamlessly transition the property for the new owner, - she communicates constantly throughout the process with her client to keep them abreast of progress which alleviates the stress of the “unknown” for the client. We will use Sabrina for any future real estate transactions in the future - 5 star performance all around.”

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.

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!

When we began looking in South Carolina for a new home, we only knew we loved the Bluffton/Hilton Head area.  We hadn’t yet set our sights on any specific plantation or community.  Like most people, we arrived in Bluffton having only looked online at house listings, and had a few we hoped a realtor could show us.  In our first meeting with Diana Sroufe, she suggested we first look at the communities to see what felt right, before we look at any houses. After all, it would do us no good to fall in love with a house if it was in a community we didn’t like.  She took us on a tour of four or five different communities, until we had firmly settled on Belfair (was it the Oaks? the Belfair Wave? the friendly population? all three?).  Diana listened to all of our chatter that day and learned a lot about our lifestyle, the kind of community we were looking for, what type of house we wanted and all of our different wants and needs.  As we went through homes in Belfair, she asked what we liked and didn’t like about each one and she used that information to determine which house to show us next.   On a second trip to the area a couple of weeks later, I was on a mission: I was here to buy a house.  I had a timeline, and the pressure was on.  Diana showed me everything she had that fit into our guidelines. After looking at quite a few homes, I was able to narrow it down to two.  Diana listened as I talked through the potential renovations, the overall condition of each house, what would need to be added or removed. During these conversations Diana’s true expertise shined through as she prompted me to consider things I would never have thought of. For instance, one house faced East, the other West. This turned out to be a key factor in the final decision. In short, Diana helped me crystalize my decision without ever trying to influence it.    I don’t believe I would have chosen the right house had we not had the benefit of Diana’s insights, expertise and experience.  Thankfully we did have her along for our ride, and we chose exactly the right home for us: the one facing East.

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!!
