It was serendipity that brought us together with Marisa as we began our exploration of the Lowcountry and Bluffton area, in general.  And it all blossomed from there. Marisa is fun and friendly, which make long days of touring communities and houses a whole lot more enjoyable. And she is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the process. We truly enjoyed her approach of introducing us first to the communities and helping us narrow down the list of choices to a much more manageable subset. She took the time to get to know us and try to understand how we described our likes and wants, so she could help us to first identify the community that is right for us. And she explained why this is an important step in the process.  Because we were coming in from out of town, she did a very nice job of being our “boots on the ground“. Marisa is also very professional and helped us through the entire home buying process. As others have noted, her service and care extended beyond signing the contract, as she helped us with utilities, with ideas about where to purchase furniture, etc. We are pleased to call Marisa a friend, now, and highly recommend her.

We began our lowcountry real estate journey with Alec Smith about a year and a half ago. His extensive knowledge of the area guided us to our dream property, his shrewd negotiating skills ensured that we secured the best possible price, and his professionalism and attention to detail guaranteed that everything came together seamlessly. Alex will forever be our Realtor when the need arises, but now he is also our good friend!

"Working with Sabrina was an absolute dream! We were looking for a condo on Hilton Head, and her local expertise was unmatched. She knows the island inside and out, and after asking us just a few thoughtful questions, she was able to narrow down our showings to condos she knew we’d fall in love with. Sabrina’s knowledge of the neighborhoods and her understanding of exactly what type of property we wanted made the process so easy and enjoyable. On top of that, she negotiated an unbelievable offer for us and truly went above and beyond to make everything seamless. She took charge, kept us informed every step of the way, and made the whole experience stress-free. If you’re looking for a realtor on Hilton Head who combines local expertise, professionalism, and a personal touch, Sabrina is the one you want in your corner!"

Sanders was a pleasure to work with and made our whole buying process quite easy. We started just "looking" and he was patient and willing to keep showing us although we said we weren't ready to buy yet. When we quickly changed our decision and had limited availability to go back out, he made himself available. His knowledge of both the local community and broader area is a strong help to those new to the area!! Even when thrown some "unusual" challenges, his attitude remained positive and, as stated, made the process easy. We couldn't give a realtor a higher recommendation!

Alec did an outstanding job assisting with the purchase of a vacant lot on Lady’s Island. It is the ideal location for me to look at developing in the future. Alec was patient with listening to my wants and desires for the lot and took the time to review everything about the lot with me. His negotiating skills helped to secure the lot for the price I was willing to pay. Alec and his family will forever be considered friends and I know I will be working with Alec again in the future.

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.

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!

Bluffton Buyers The Four Seasons at New Riverside
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.

Krista was our super-agent who showed us so many areas, properties and homes during our search. She was patient and thorough, never showing us anything she didn’t think was right for us: newly retired couple moving to the low country to find a great neighborhood. We wound up buying property to build our home and Krista has gone above and beyond following up after closing and helping us with the build. Service, great attitude and fun. Thanks so much! Would highly recommend Krista Wilson!

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.

“Sabrina Zeoli stands out from the rest! Having worked with numerous real estate agents nationwide and in Hilton Head Island (HHI), we found Sabrina to be truly the greatest of all time (The GOAT). We were blessed to meet Sabrina at an open house and immediately connected with her. She guided us on an amazing journey that led us to purchase our 30-year dream beach home on HHI! Sabrina is not just a real estate agent; we now proudly call her our friend. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank You Sabrina!”

Daniel & Debbie Cort were great to work with! We live out of state and were able to quickly find a condo on Hilton Head Island that met our needs for a great price. They used video chat for a walkthrough and very responsive to any questions. Highly recommended and will work with them for our next property!

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about helping you find the perfect home, Sabrina is the one to call!"

Marisa Cain was my Realtor selling my home. She was amazing from the beginning. She was very knowledgeable, very positive and very warm. She was the best combination. She attended every single showing of my house and reported back to me after every showing. She was always in contact with the showing realtors. It was amazing that she took so much time. She answered all of my questions. She calmed me down when I was concerned. She was there with the movers. Nothing was ever too much for her. Selling this house was the smoothest experience. And I owe it all to Marisa Cain!

Drew's expertise in the Hilton Head market led us to Windmill Harbour several years ago, and so when it came time to sell, we never hesitated to put our home in his hands.  From the beginning, Drew led the effort.  He sat us down and provided sound advice on price in the current marketplace.   Drew brought in a stager to present the home in the best light possible, and then produced a breathtaking brochure.  He worked tirelessly to get us 30 showings and several offers in this tight market.  He followed up with buyer agents as well as my wife and me on a constant basis.  Drew and his staff went above and beyond our already high expectations, and in the end, we closed seven weeks after we listed with an all- cash sale.

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!

Gary and Shelley were excellent agents for us. Shelley always responded to my questions right away. I could talk to her about any questions or concerns I had at any time. She is very professional and knows her job but also very friendly and caring. She is always on top of everything. We felt like someone was looking out for our interests. We feel like we made two new friends Gary and Shelley. If we ever come back to this area, we would definitely use their services again and would recommend them highly to our friends. I feel so lucky we found them to be our agents.

My wife and I made the decision to move across the country from Arizona to Bluffton I the Spring of 2019.  Having a child still in high school made the window for this move quite small.  Diana Sroufe made this transition possible and provided us exactly what we needed.  We flew into town to look at homes on Easter weekend and Diana was awesome!  Not only did she show us what we wanted to see....even though she knew we would not pursue, but gave us insight and ideas as we viewed our first few homes together.  Diana listened and immediately came up with additional homes to view based on our criteria. Can we look at that one again?  I am sure this routine can be annoying, but Diana was there to show us listings....and even go back more than a few times. When we were ready, Diana took charge and our offer was submitted and accepted prior to our arrival in town for the second round of viewings.  Diana quickly took action and even had the home inspected while we were in town.  As we left, Diana had a complete list of preferred vendors for all of the things we needed and they were all top-notch. Working with Diana was the best decision and a major reason this move was stress-free."

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.

Their presentations were supported by analytics. Real market research supported by real data. Very impressive. Historical and current data, broad and local data and most importantly, meaningful data. Delcher and Delcher made many of the unknowns to us known. We had not met them before engaging them to sell our home, but we felt from the very beginning that they knew us. They understood. Regular and timely communication was a top priority of ours and with Delcher and Delcher it is their foundation. In a very busy time, they would respond quickly with the answer we were seeking.  Not just talk, but a real and honest answer. For a very positive and professional real estate sale experience Delcher and Delcher is the top choice.

"Matt & Kara were fantastic to work with from the day we met virtually to discuss our needs and wants in purchasing a vacation home. Southern hospitality at its finest! They listened well and were intuitive in picking up on what was really important to us even if we didn't explicitly communicate it. They were responsive to our questions and patient with our decision-making process. And yes, they found us the perfect fit! We were impressed with how smooth the purchasing process was which made us feel even more confident that we made the right choice -- with the home and Matt & Kara as our agents. We appreciate the personal connection we made and now beyond the real estate transaction, consider them friends. We are grateful for their expertise in making our dream a reality!"

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!

Richard was a great asset in helping us find a Hilton Head location. He understood what our goals were and what type of home we wanted. He was on top of things when opportunities came in. He is a great communicator and ended up us getting exactly what we had set out to get. Even after the closing, he still has been helpful and checked in to see that all was ok and if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend him to others.

Let me start by saying that we have bought and sold many houses over the years and it has never been what I would call an enjoyable experience. Krista Wilson changed that experience. She was competent and supportive throughout the whole process. We found her by chance as we were in the early stages of our search. She guided us through this with patience. There were no high pressure tactics and she allowed us the time to consider our next steps. I appreciated the fact that she gave us space that we needed to feel comfortable in our decisions. Krista was responsive and handled all issues with the sellers competently. She somehow managed to find resolutions where everyone agreeably walked away from the table. This will probably be the last house we buy in our lifetime and the only downside I can see to this is that we won't have the opportunity to spend more time with Krista. She's a gem!
