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.

“Sabrina was an absolute joy to work with. Sabrina was extremely knowledgeable about the area and assured us that she could get us our asking price. She actually went above and beyond our expectations with that. I found her to be very easy to communicate with, and she was very timely in getting back to me regarding questions. I have sold three houses in my life time and Sabrina made this one a very positive, stress-free experience.”

We can’t recommend Jack Menzie highly enough! He helped our family achieve what we weren’t sure was possible—finding our dream home while staying in the neighborhood we love and successfully selling our home with a delayed listing strategy that worked perfectly. Throughout both the buying and selling process, Jack was professional, patient, and genuinely caring, making everything feel seamless instead of stressful. Even after closing, he went above and beyond by connecting us with trusted local contractors, proving his commitment doesn’t end at the closing table. Thank you, Jack, for making this journey such a positive and memorable experience!”

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.

"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."

"The ultimate professionals in real estate! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this dynamic duo. Matt possesses extensive knowledge of the market, is a great listener and focused on our specific wants and needs, was patient and accommodating when we shifted our search to different areas and home styles. Kara offered expertise and guidance preparing our home prior to showing. As our agent Matt represented us very well during the contract process, went over and above to make sure our requests were honored. Matt constantly communicated with us from contract signing through closing. Matt and Kara will represent you well!"

We had an outstanding experience working with Shelley and Gary Elliott of the The Elliott Team as our realtors. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping us every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, always taking the time to answer our questions. We are so grateful for all their hard work and highly recommend Shelley and Gary Elliott to anyone looking for excellent real estate agents. They went above and beyond for us, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.

Buying our new home with Debbie and Daniel was an unbelievably easy experience! Debbie went above and beyond to make sure every "i "was dotted and every "t" crossed. She and Daniel gave us great advice as to where to buy and who to get as our mortgage processor. A usually daunting experience was turned into a very easy and no stress experience. I HIGHLY recommend these very professional agents to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bluffton/HHI area. A business relationship has turned into a great friendship! Thanks Debbie and Daniel for our new home!!

The Elliott Team is impeccable in their extensive real estate knowledge and are consummate, skilled professionals. Without their invaluable help, we would not have found the perfect home. In addition to the unwavering attention they gave us, friends who were visiting us became interested in the area and wanted to investigate options. The result of the Elliott's efforts to accommodate our friend's limited schedule and stay, was quite simply, extraordinary. Our friends also found a wonderful house due to the Elliott’s focused action. We are grateful to have our friends here and also to say thank you, once again, for Shelley and Gary Elliott's incredible efforts.

Alec Smith was absolutely fantastic to work with. He far exceeded my expectations on the time it would take to sell my family’s land. In addition, he consistently kept me informed and the entire transaction could have not gone more smoothly. I highly recommend him.

"My family and I were considering relocating to Bluffton, SC, to be closer to some of our relatives. Through Suburban Jungle, we were connected with Matt and Kara, and from our very first interaction, it was clear we were in excellent hands. Matt's professionalism, honesty, and deep knowledge of the Bluffton area were evident right away.He provided us with thoughtfully curated listings that perfectly aligned with both our needs and preferences, giving us a clear understanding of what the area had to offer. When we visited and met in person, Matt went above and beyond, dedicating several hours to show us around the community, highlighting homes on the market, and sharing his insider knowledge about the local school system and the town as a whole.The entire experience was seamless, informative, and genuinely welcoming. Matt's attention to detail and ability to make us feel at ease throughout the process were truly remarkable. If you're in the market for a home in Bluffton, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt and his team. You won't be disappointed!"

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.

As first time homebuyers and now owners! We were beyond grateful for how Sander’s helped us during this process and how he made a way for us against all odds (LITERALLY: market being crazy high, outside of our budget, and the island being in such high demands) somehow, sanders made a miracle take place for us and we are truly grateful! Sanders was also incredibly communicative and very articulate in helping us understand the process from beginning to end. Honestly, the professionalism exceeded our expectations and we wouldn’t have wanted to be with any other realtor!

Mark Rushton is the epitome of excellence, professionalism, and skill. He is patient, extremely knowledgeable, and his attention to detail is unmatched. From the first showing until closing, Mark took care of every detail and provided us with honest guidance. We LOVE Mark and could not be more passionate in our recommendation of him! Our only regret is that we won’t be working with him again soon because he did such an outstanding job helping us find the perfect home for us! Truly, there is ZERO need to look anywhere else for a realtor; Mark is the very best!

“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!”

Hilton Head Island Seller
Having been close to four previous Hilton Head Island real estate transactions in which Dave was the agent, twice for the Buyer and twice for the Seller, when it came time to sell my own condo on Skull Creek I didn’t give any thought to asking anyone else to help me as the Seller’s agent. Dave has years of experience on the island and he is very aware of the current market. As expected I benefited from his calm and wise guidance during the entire process. Dave was extremely valuable in recommending people to take care of the issues that were identified during inspection. Other businesses that I called ignored my call, but Dave knows reliable people. And where Dave went above and beyond, in my opinion, was that several times when those folks came to take care of an inspection item I was not available to be there – Dave met the trades people and waited while they did the work, or until I was able to arrive. That was a huge help to me. I highly recommend Dave if you are buying or selling a house or condo on 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.

A true team approach from the first meeting through the closing. They are all excellent communicators and go far beyond what I have experienced during other residential transactions. They are without question the best real estate firm I have had the pleasure of working with. I am so happy after interviewing three local realtors that we chose H&D!

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.

My husband Chuck and I decided to build a new home at Belfair. Given that the new home was supposed to be completed by the Fall of 2020, we had to select a realtor to sell our existing home at 45 Newberry Court. The decision was a pretty easy one as we had many friends who highly recommended that we use Diana Sroufe. Diana lives at Belfair and knows the real estate market inside and out. She recommended that we put the house on the market in the first quarter of 2020, about 6 months prior to completion of the new home. From the start, Diana worked tirelessly to help us prepare our home for sale and we had quite a bit of interest early on, including a few offers, none of which panned out. Then Covid hit and put an abrupt halt to the all-important spring selling season. Throughout this time, Diana continued to market our home and to provide positive encouragement that with patience our home would sell. As soon as the Fall hit, the real estate market took off with a vengeance. Diana became super busy with many listings, but she still made us feel that our home was the one she had listed. We finally accepted an offer in October and Diana was with us right through closing in November. We have been thrilled with Diana’s knowledge of the real estate industry and her professionalism throughout the real estate transaction process. She is also a fellow golfer and a friend. We can’t imagine using any other realtor to represent us if/when we decide to enter the real estate market in the future.

My wife and I had three busy and fun-filled days with Shayne. She came with a strong understanding of Bluffton and Beaufort, making quick connections with her computer and phone. Lots of multitasking! Highly recommend Shayne for a home search in the Lowcountry. Looking forward to our future purchase with her. An incredibly nice person as well!
