We’ve worked with several realtors in the past 30 years and Becky is absolutely the best. We’ve referred her to several friends and they all agree that she is outstanding.

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!

“Paul was part of a 2 person team that handled the sale of our home in Beaufort, SC. We appreciated his willingness to listen to our questions and answer them thoroughly. When he needed to get additional information he did not hesitate to do so and get back to us promptly. Paul is a down to earth kind of realtor and does not back away from the parts of the real estate process that take time and are the unseen steps that make it all work smoothly. We could not have been happier with his skills and with the result. Both my husband and I recommend Paul highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Beaufort SC area.”

I met Tom at an open house he was hosting. This property was not a fit for our needs. Tom's disciplined follow up approach made him the agent we needed and wanted to work with. Tom regularly communicated with us and updated us on all new listings coming to market. After several visits we landed the perfect house for our needs. Tom provided excellent counsel throughout the entire process. Beyond the strong local knowledge, process expertise and guidance, top rate responsiveness the added bonus is that Tom is a great guy ! I would use Tom for all my real estate needs.

"Matt was tremendous to work with from start to finish in the home buying process. He had great working knowledge and insights into the area, a friendly, professional communication style and took the time to understand what we were looking for and then applied that understanding to the houses he showed us. He expertly negotiated the deal and got the price and terms we wanted in a competitive situation. But what impressed me the most was Matt’s responsiveness - unbelievable throughout the sale process and after. Whether by email, text or phone call, he always quickly got back to us even if it was only to acknowledge the message. So few people do that anymore. We always felt we had a true partner throughout the buying process and we can’t recommend Matt more highly if you need a real estate professional."

“Sabrina went above and beyond to ensure my relocation from NY to Bluffton would be smooth. She listened to what I thought I wanted (which were two different things) and patiently showed me many options, while being knowledgeable of the area. Sabrina diligently monitored coming soon listings and ultimately did a virtual tour for me – my home that I purchased without ever being in it myself. I was out of state and Sabrina was there for each step of the way. I absolutely trust and recommend Sabrina!”

Being a first time home buyer can be scary, add in a new build and it’s even scarier! Michelle was incredible. She guided us through every step of the process and explained everything so simply. Honestly, I don’t know if I would have been able to do this without her spot on direction and guidance. She is amazing at what she does and makes the whole process run so smooth. She has become a friend who I appreciate so much! Even after closing she is making sure everything is taken care of and goes above and beyond! I would recommend her to anyone going through a new home purchase a million times! She is truly the best!

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.

Richard was fully up to date on market conditions very professional in all areas of the process of selling my property. He kept me up to date at all times, answered any questions that I had; he took care of all details. It was a pleasure to work with Richard in the sale of my property which was completed quickly. This was the fifth time that Richard has worked with me in selling or buying property.

“From the very beginning, Ethan James displayed a caring can do attitude regarding the selling our home. After talking to other realtors, it was his confidence that persuaded us to select him as our agent on one of the biggest decisions we've ever made. Throughout the process, Ethan's diligence, professionalism and experience was the fabric that held us together, when at times, we wanted to call it quits. Furthermore, we were always assured that he worked for us and that the ball was in our court when making final decisions regardless the outcome. However, it was his professionalism and experience that always led us to making the right decision. Finally, selecting Ethan as our realtor was the best decision we made on selling our home. We're recommending him to everyone we know that is in the market of buying or selling a home.”

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 cant 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!

They have asked great questions to help guide me as I honed in on area & ultimately found my new home, answered all of my questions (even the goofy ones) & have been true partners in the process. I cannot say enough about how diligent, kind, and professional they’ve been throughout this journey. They are a great team and people who I now happily call my friends."

“Sabrina Zeoli is fantastic! She worked with my husband and I to find the perfect second home on Hilton Head Island. She was patient and always available. 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!”

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.

"Sabrina is amazing, she took the time to really get to know us and understand what type of property we were looking for. Her knowledge of real estate in general, and Hilton Head specifically, was invaluable as we are not from the area. Sabrina is an excellent communicator so we felt like we always knew exactly what was happening during what was, for us, a very quick offer to close situation. Sabrina went above and beyond what I would expect from any realtor. Even after we closed she has continued to stay in touch and been a resource. This is especially comforting as we do not live locally and it is wonderful to have someone in Hilton Head to touch base with if we have any concerns. Most importantly, Sabrina is an incredibly warm and caring person. She never pressured us and throughout the entire buying process it was clear that ultimately her goal was for us to find a very special home in Hilton Head. We feel very fortunate to have connected with Sabrina and highly recommend her!"

The BEST agents we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with were Gary & Shelley Elliott with Charter One Realty. They made the whole process from start to finish a pleasurable and easy experience. Their understanding of the market was invaluable, and they had our house sold in under a week. Their attention to detail was impressive when first listing our home. I was blown away with all the advertising and marketing that went out the day after we decided to sell our home. I have never met a realtor that helped you with the packing, the organizing, the cleaning, the moving of your home. Who does that? What an incredible team they are. They go above and beyond to help you in every way possible. Thank you, Gary and Shelley, for your amazing work and helping make our move much less stressful. You guys are the best and we will always sing your praises.

"Matt and Kara were exceptional from start to finish - guiding us seamlessly through both selling our existing home and purchasing our new one. They were endlessly patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond for us, working seven days a week until every question was answered and every detail was taken care of. Their dedication and professionalism made the entire process stress-free. We couldn't recommend them more highly!"

Suzanne Schriver Oceanfront - Buyer & Seller
Our relationship with Monica and her team spans 20 years, comprised of buying and selling an oceanfront villa and penthouse and finally buying the oceanfront forever home of our dreams! Monica has been there every step of the way handling ALL the details that might be typical and so many that were not. It is all but impossible to describe the value that Monica brings to the table as a seasoned expert in the field of real estate. The first thing that comes to mind, though, is that relationship is her priority over real estate, and by genuinely focusing on the client relationship, she delivers in the best possible way! Manageable accessibility for our daughter with special needs was one of the MANY boxes that had to be checked, and Monica often personally previewed homes to ensure that it was. As her client, we always knew her #1 concert was whether or not the home we were looking at would suit our needs and provide us with enjoyment for years to come.The only concern with having recently purchased our dream home is that we’re worried we won’t see Monica as frequently!

“Sabrina was just fantastic in helping us find our second home in Hilton Head. She helped us find the perfect villa, guided us in making an offer, recommended all the necessary people to purchase the home and was our eyes and ears at the closing. She is very knowledgeable of the market and easy to work with - we recommend her without any hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Hilton Head area.”

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.

We were introduced to Duke when we realized we wanted to make Berkeley Hall our home. South Carolina is a new adventure for us! We so enjoyed working with him. Duke was very knowledgeable about the lots that were available and couldn’t do enough to answer our questions. We had an easy process picking our lot and he was helpful during the building process. He guided us with our homeowner’s insurance and home inspection. We would highly recommend Duke if you plan to live in the Bluffton area.

We finally made our dream of owning a home in Hilton Head come true! Drew Butler made the process not only smooth but enjoyable. His professionalism and knowledge of the area is unmatched. Living in Ohio, it took a few trips over the years to finally find the right property at the right time and Drew was always helpful, patient, and attentive. No one could ask for more from a realtor. Working with Drew was a true blessing!

Christina has been our realtor for the past five years. We were searching for the “perfect spot” at Hilton head and she helped us find a lovely one! She was very patient during our long search of properties.  She was always available, courteous, and professional. Christina went above and beyond what would be expected by a real estate agent. Bud and I appreciate her help and recommend Christina highly!

I called Sara about a year ago regarding one of her listings. I explained that we were living out of state, but our daughter and her husband had built a home in The Lakes at New Riverside, which was where Sara’s listing was located. She gave me more than an hour of her time and said to me, ‘Keep in touch, and I’ll show you all the different neighborhoods once you and your husband come down for a visit.’ She was so professional and kind that I knew I had found the perfect Realtor. After we came to visit, Sara spent so much time organizing house showings and helped us realize something we didn’t even know about ourselves, that a 55+ neighborhood was the perfect fit for us. After viewing The Haven and Four Seasons, both of which had so much to offer, we were incredibly excited about the possibility of calling one of them home. After much consideration, we chose a new build in Four Seasons. Sara was there every step of the way. Since we lived out of state, she would check on the progress and send us pictures and videos. She was so efficient and caring, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her work ethic and loyalty! We have now closed our home and are preparing to become full-time residents of Bluffton. Having Sara by our side throughout the entire process has been wonderful! I highly recommend Sara, and I have friends in New York who are looking to relocate in the near future. Sara will definitely be working with them based on my wonderful experience. I know Sara started out as my Realtor, but honestly, she has become part of my family and is now someone I am proud to call my friend. I know that once you use Sara for your real estate needs, you will feel the same.
