Daniel and Debbie are super people who made our house purchase process a breeze. They were always very responsive and made us feel that we were their only client. Debbie and Daniel are courteous and very professional which is not always easy to find. You will not go wrong with this awesome team.

We worked with David and his team on our last 2 homes we purchased and the sale of another. If it wasn’t for David and his infinite relationships in the Hilton Head area, I don’t believe we would have had the opportunity to purchase our current home. Being new to the Hilton Head area, David was a tremendous help in answering our countless questions. What impressed me the most about David was the time he took to truly understand our preferences and needs and his patience in helping us find the perfect home. I am thrilled to recommend David to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

Duke and Linda brought this property to us to buy and when it was time to sell they took great care of us from start to finish. Duke went above and beyond handling this for us and we couldn’t be happier. Outstanding service before during and after the sale.
Simply the best!

“It was a pleasure to work with Sabrina every step of the way through the entire process of selling our home. Sabrina worked tirelessly to get us the best price for the home. She made several trips to town hall and the building department on our behalf, to settle issues concerning building permits, certificates of occupancy, etc. Whether buying or selling we will certainly work with Sabrina again in the future.”
Chris A.557 Queens Grant, Palmetto Dunes
"We had the pleasure of working with Sabrina [Zeoli] to purchase our condo in Hilton Head Island, and we can’t imagine a better experience. From day one, Sabrina impressed us with her deep knowledge of the local market and her genuine commitment to helping us find the perfect place. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for—not just in terms of layout and price, but lifestyle and long-term value. Her insights into different condo communities, amenities, and HOA considerations were incredibly helpful. Sabrina found us the perfect condo at a great price. It checked every box, and we truly feel like we got an incredible value thanks to her knowledge and market savvy. Sabrina was always responsive, honest, and proactive. She guided us through every step—from showings to closing—with professionalism and warmth. Even after the sale, she checked in to make sure we were settling in well and continued to support us with any questions we had. If you're looking for a realtor who knows Hilton Head inside and out and truly puts your needs first, Sabrina is the one. We’re thrilled with our new condo and even more thankful for the experience she gave us."
Tara M.Sun City Seller
If you're looking for a realtor to sell your home in Sun City, you'll quickly discover there are countless agents to choose from. So why did I choose the Elliott Team? My journey began with a neighbor's recommendation. She sold her home with the Elliott Team and couldn't say enough about their professionalism, service, and results. After working with them myself, I can confidently say they exceeded every expectation I had. From the first meeting, Shelley, Gary, and Allison impressed me with their knowledge, organization, and genuine commitment to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. They clearly explained every step of the selling process, outlined what to expect, and developed a thoughtful strategy to position my home for success. There were no surprises—just excellent communication and a clear plan from start to finish. What stood out most was the way they treated me. Their friendly, family-oriented approach made me feel like I was their only client. Every phone call, email, text, or question was answered promptly, and their teamwork was seamless. We worked together as partners throughout the entire process, with everyone contributing to a successful sale. Now that my house is sold, I really do miss them. Their expertise proved invaluable every step of the way. They guided me on the ideal time to list, recommended the right asking price, suggested staging and improvements that made my home shine in photographs and in showings, expertly navigated the offer negotiations and inspection credit. Their understanding of the Sun City market gave me complete confidence, and the results spoke for themselves—my home sold in ten days after it was listed on the MLS. One piece of advice from the team stayed with me throughout the experience: "It's all about price and presentation." The Elliott Team knew exactly how to maximize both, and their guidance made all the difference. Any realtor can say it’s price and presentation, not every realtor can do it. Shelley and Gary definitely know how. With the Elliott Team, however, their service didn’t end with listing and showing the house. They have an outstanding network of trusted vendors for every need. Whether it was recommending an auction vendor for furniture, coordinating donations with free pickup, or recommending service providers to satisfy inspection items; every referral was prompt, professional, and high quality. It was obvious to me the vendors valued their relationship with the Elliott Team and were committed to providing exceptional service. The Elliott Team made selling my home a smooth, organized, and remarkably stress-free experience. Their market knowledge, communication, integrity, and genuine care for their clients are seen and felt. If you're looking for a real estate team that will work tirelessly on your behalf and deliver outstanding results, you don’t need to look further than Shelley and Gary Elliott.

Drew is the BEST! I was in a time crunch trying to clear out my mother's home before closing and Drew rolled up his sleeves and together, we got it done! Can you honestly say your agent would do that for you without being asked or guilted into helping? Not Drew. He's just that kind of guy. Drew's willing to do what he can to make your experience outstanding.
Melanie and Lyles GlennPalmetto Bluff
As one of the original members of the Palmetto Bluff real estate team and the longest serving member of that team, few if any know Palmetto Bluff and Palmetto Bluff real estate as well as Keene Reese. We surely benefitted from his depth of knowledge and excellent relationships when we purchased and developed our Palmetto Bluff homesite. Keene’s wonderful personality and superior character added to our very favorable experience. We certainly intend to involve Keene in our next Lowcountry transaction.
Linda was fantastic - knowledgeable, very responsive and very professional. She made finding our dream home and selling our current vacation home an absolute breeze.

We have done several transactions with Andy. He is professional, a good communicator and works very hard for his clients.
We highly recommend Andy.
Terry and Julie W.Hilton Head Island
Daniel and Debbie are an amazing real estate team. Daniel quickly accessed our needs and identified a number of properties that met our investment criteria. In addition, his contacts enabled us to do a quick renovation and secure a great property manager that to date have been extremely beneficial. Debbie was extremely helpful in a number of logistical areas including helping dealing with attorneys and out of state tax issues related to the property. She provided the necessary push when things started to get bogged down. We would highly recommend the Cort Team for anyone’s real estate needs in the Hilton Head area. By far the best real estate experience we have ever had.

Christina Forbis has her pulse on the real estate market and worked tirelessly to make our dream come true. We highly recommend Christina – she is the “go to” realtor on the island!

"There aren't enough words to recommend Matt and Kara enough! As soon as we found out that they were venturing into real estate from previous years of successful careers in other fields, we knew that they would be who we'd want to work with in this next phase of our life. From our first showing when Kara entertained our kids so we could walk the house undisturbed, to the sale of our first family home, they’ve been nothing but exceptional. They both operate with the highest levels of professionalism and urgency. They always act with your best interests in mind and give great advice to ensure you earn top dollar on your property. We are so thankful to call Matt and Kara not only our agents, but best friends. They both truly care and are the team you want by your side during the house selling and buying journey. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank yall for everything!"

Sara was amazing - top notch, very professional and handled our sale with perfection. This was especially impressive given the challenging market we are in. She used her network effectively and was able to structure a creative deal that not only got us 5 offers in 3 days, but helped us land on the best one for our circumstances. - Highly recommended.
Jeffrey EastonBerkeley Hall Seller
"Matt and Kara have been the absolute best realtors we have ever dealt with. They are a great team and the minute we met them we knew we had chosen the right realtors. They were professional and knowledgeable about the entire process of listing our house, anticipating any concerns before they became issues. They were always one step ahead of the process and the best thing of all is that they are simply wonderful people. My wife and I feel so fortunate that we found them to help us sell our home, which ultimately was both easy and seamless."
Mark BlythePort Royal, SC
Alec Smith knows the area and market very well. He went above and beyond to help us price our house appropriately and sell quickly. He was there for every step of the process and answered all of our questions from listing to closing. We highly recommend him.

Debbie and Daniel Cort are amazing! They are very helpful and walk through the whole process with you. Very responsive and there are no bad questions. I was very impressed with their knowledge of the market and their drive to find exactly what you are looking for. When it came time to make an offer they were right on top of everything and kept us in the loop of all the changes made by the sellers. I highly recommend them as they are very professional and friendly and will find you the home you are looking for.
Sun City BuyersBuyers of 68 Honesty Lane
Working with Sabrina was the highlight of my moving experience. I was only able to visit houses with her for one day, but she made the most of that time and was really able to home in on exactly what I wanted. Over the next couple of months, as I worked to sell my home in New Jersey, Sabrina sent me emails of current listings tailored to every detail I had mentioned during our one day together. When the listing for my house came up I wasn't able to make the trip down to see it myself. Sabrina did a virtual walk-through with me and gave me her honest opinion that she thought this house could be the right fit. I trusted her so much that I bought my house site unseen! Throughout it all Sabrina was kind, professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She made my home-buying experience a breeze, which was much appreciated since my home-selling experience in New Jersey was a nightmare. I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking to buy a home in the Hilton Head/Bluffton area.

Our experience with the Wedgeworth Team in selling our home was superior in every way. They were respectful of our time and scheduled the appointments in a stress reducing way. Chip is a very kind person and we like him a lot. We will highly recommend him.
Amy OffredoHampton Lake Seller
"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."
Eric Hayes
Shelley and Gary were probably the most thorough real estate agents I have ever worked with. I used to be a agent in California and this team are truly the best in the business. They always answer their phones and keep you updated throughout the whole process! If you are looking to sell your home or buy a home you will be very happy!
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!
Greg SeelingerCallawassie Buyer
Matt and Kara were great agents and I never considered anyone else after our first encounter. They knew the area very well and showed us different areas to give us an understanding of each community. They responded to requests and made adjustments to accommodate my schedule. They were quick to get property details and help me understand the complete picture before engaging into negotiations. They are experienced working on relocations and were able to check out properties when I was not in the area. They were easy to work with and good, honest people looking out for my interests.
Alejandro and Marisol NateraHilton Head Island
We had the pleasure to work with Drew recently, representing us in two real estate transactions, buying and selling. Drew made these transactions completely uneventful and extremely easy. We liked his communication style and sense of urgency. We described to him the characteristics of the property we were looking for and he provided a package with valuable detailed information for us to evaluate the properties during the showings. We were able to make our decision immediately after the showings. Based on our experience, Drew cares genuinely about his customers. He is very professional, experienced, and trustworthy. We will definitely work with Drew on our next real estate transaction and we highly recommend him to anyone.
Terry & Pat McGuire Long Cove Club - Hilton Head Island
Andy Reed is our "go-to" man. If you want tailor made attention to your real estate needs, Andy is the man you want as a realtor who represents the unique atmosphere of Long Cove Club. He has lived and raised a family in LCC for 26 years. Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend this affable member of Charter One Realty. We trust him and have been happy here for 19 years.
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.
Randel ZahnBurton, Beaufort SC
Alec Smith is a very professional and customer Service oriented. Our home went on the market on a Monday and we were under Contract with a buyer by that Friday. He was always available and continuously offering assistance. I Highly Recommend Alec as a Realtor!!!!
The LowesSellers
Bud and I were impressed with Shelley and Gary from the first time we met. Their warm and winning personalities along with their marketing program was very impressive. They were also recommended by our neighbor. Once we signed on with them, professional photos of our home were taken and presented to us. There was constant communication from them by email, phone, and texts. We had moved up north and they arranged every service, hired the best workers and best of all they sold our home in less than Five Days!
Jerry Knight & Holly McCollumHilton Head Island
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.
