Monica and the entire team at Herman and Davis proved themselves to be very valuable throughout my recent transaction on Hilton Head. I was buying a type of property that was new to me combined with living out of the area, but having Monica on my side made it a breeze. Monica is extremely knowledgeable about the market, has all the right connections, and her 20+ years of Hilton Head specific experience shows. She made the transaction very smooth and I cannot think of any way it could have been improved. If and when we are ready to list our property, there is no one else we would call. Thank you, Monica!

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.

Working with Debbie Cort was absolutely seamless and perfect. Our Family needed to relocate to the area from Florida and we had no idea where to start looking for our new home. My wife sent an email regarding a property we might be interested in and Debbie responded immediately! We shared our lifestyle and current type of home we owned to help Debbie show us the best neighborhood to suit us in the shortest time frame. After 2-3 trips from Florida to look at our home buying options we landed on a beautiful home in Bluffton with the amenities that were exactly to our needs! Without Debbie Cort we wouldn't have been able to make our move happen so smooth. And we have built a great friendship along the way. Debbie puts her heart and soul into the entire process. And was always available for any questions that came up. Thanks Debbie and Dan!

Sabrina is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. She went above and beyond when we were looking for houses and then helped us get set up to meet with contractors and landscapers she has worked with.

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!

We first met Drew Butler in 1995 when we purchased our lot at 79 Wedgefield Dr. through him.  He has always been there for us to answer any questions and to furnish additional information once we built our home in 1998. When it came time to downsize 21 years later, Drew Butler was the only person who came to our minds. Once again his integrity and honesty as well as his personal touch were valuable assets in our transaction. We value Drew as a friend as well as our #1 Real Estate Person.

Becky and Monica were terrific throughout and after the successful marketing and sales process. They even send each client from the prior year another closing statement in case needed for filing purposes. A pleasure to deal with in every respect.

She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. She was very supportive from the beginning to the end of our home buying experience. She made the whole process seamless. It is evident that Sabrina cares about her clients and her community. We would love to work with her again in the future!”

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.

We highly recommend Les Jones for realtor services. He recently helped us purchase a home and we were both impressed and appreciative of his highly professional services. He listened closely to our interests and performed diligent research to identify several options. Then, he worked closely with our calendars to schedule property viewings. He provided valuable insight about the various locations and had great recommendations for navigating the closing process. We hope to work with him again in the future.

We worked with Richard on 2 buys and 1 sell in Hilton Head Island, SC. During these 3 business transactions Richard proved to be very professional and knowledgeable. He guided us to fair pricing and was patient with us and the counterparties. He followed up and the cleanliness of the house we bought and made sure it was spotless on the day we moved in. I recommend you contact him if you have any interest in buying or selling on Hilton Head. I assure you will be very pleased with his service and knowledge of the area.

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!

Duke is by far the best person and most knowledgeable person to guide you through a purchase in the Lowcountry. He helped us pick the right community for our needs, was an expert in the negotiations to get a great deal and didn't stop after we purchased the home. We are new to the area, and he helped refer us to various skilled professionals to help maintain and set up our new home. Duke is fantastic and was very patient as we waited for the perfect home to come on the market. I would not hesitate to refer Duke and Linda to anyone looking to buy in Bluffton/Hilton Head.

My husband and I have worked with James Wedgeworth on four separate real estate transactions. James has done an excellent job each time and we have always been extremely happy with the results. His knowledge of the area and his many years of experience made it easy to work with him. He was always able to answer are questions and put our minds at ease. In addition, his staff were always responsive, efficient, and pleasant to work with. We feel confident in working with James and would not use another realtor.

Richard was very helpful with his knowledge of contractors and other service providers on Hilton Head. When we first purchased in 2014 through the sale of home in 2020 we occasionally called him for suggestions. The providers he gave us were always timely and competitive pricewise.

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.

We recently sold our house with Drew Butler. The process was very successful from start to finish. Drew brought the data which made the pricing decision easy, his suggestions to “ready” the house for buyers was effective and not overly complicated. We had early showings and a buyer in several days at full price. Drew and his assistant, Kim Burke, were helpful through the inspection and follow-up. They were great at communications right up through the closing. It is extremely helpful that Drew knows Indigo Run and all the reasons it is the place to be on Hilton Head.

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.

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.

Sanders was an absolute 10 out of 10. From the first email Sanders responsiveness was top notch. I think I maybe had one call that wasn’t picked up after the 3rd ring. He is friendly, patient and will take the time to get to know you and help you find the right house. He is not a pushy agent…he gives you honest responses and helps you understand the pro’s/con’s of areas and homes. Sanders is incredibly knowledgeable about the Hilton Head area as he grew up there plus he draws on the experience of his father Richard who has been an agent in the area for decades. Sanders was also invaluable in helping us transition into the area, introducing us to local vendors and personally helping us with the house. I strongly recommend Sanders and have to many close friends.

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.
