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!!

Icing on the cake was the place was gorgeous and at a great price. Almost impossible to get that in the present times. Hire Them!! Did I say Love the Corts!

The Elliotts are quite the team!!! They work extremely well together and never leave a stone unturned. After selling several homes over 50 years, they, without a doubt, provided the best service of any realtor I have previously used. I would not hesitate to call on them again myself or to recommend them to others.

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.

Richard MacDonald gave me expert assistance, taking care of every detail, from finding a buyer to locating people to take care of minor moving details I highly recommend him and have already done so. We have known Richard for many years. He was our broker when the home was purchased 25 years ago, and instrumental in selling the home now. Thank you Richard for your very professional help.

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.

Marisa (Light Cain) and Ann (Walton) are the Dynamic Duo! It Started with Marisa sending us all the latest and greatest listings for months – Then we popped into town last Sept and showed up around everywhere! They were an absolute pleasure to work with, showing us some amazing properties/communities in Beaufort, all the while answering all of our questions, educating us on the area, and genuinely caring about us and what we were looking for. When we found our dream home, they dug in handling all of the leg work, negotiation, paperwork, etc., truly making our experience of buying a house out of state as stress free as possible! If you're looking for Agents who give support, expertise, and thoughtfulness, Marisa and Ann deliver! We liked them so much we keep in touch and look forward to having them over for dinner soon!

"We all know the stress involved when selling or buying real estate and Brad [Wilson] has the ability to make all involved feel save and secure with one of the largest financial transactions of their life. His knowledge, and marketing and negotiation skills are superior to anyone I have ever experienced in the real estate industry. We were able to sell our house within a very short period of time for almost the full asking price and in this economy that is quite an accomplishment."

"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!"

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!

Andy Twisdale was so helpful with the purchase of my wonderful home in Hilton Head.  Because he is so connected to the Island and an experienced agent, the purchase and closing went smoothly, and he was able to provide much help with recommendations on various contractors.  He knew when to push back in the purchase process and was a good advocate for me.  He was professional and kind.  I highly recommend Andy as an agent.

After vacationing on Hilton Head Island for several years, we were ready to house hunt and Christina Forbis was recommended to us by one of her very satisfied former clients.  She hung in there with us for several more years, showing us properties as we continued to vacation and ponder retirement on the Island.    We were all over the place with our search and Christina patiently helped us hone in on the areas we liked best and the type of house we wanted.   She helped us learn about Hilton Head and its communities and made adjustments to our search as our thinking evolved. We relied on her experience and expertise to help us navigate the sales and closing processes and she was quick to respond to the dozens of questions we threw her way.   We enjoyed working with Christina and found her sense of humor, professional demeanor and code of ethics to be in line with the qualities we wanted in a real estate agent.  We would certainly recommend her without reservation.

"Kara and Matt are FANTASTIC!!! They made the selling and buying process so easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. They go above and beyond to make the process transparent and easy. Their promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, and kindness made them enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend Team Raehn!"

Tom Defazio was always available on short notice to show us properties we were interested in. Over a period of several months he was responsive to our changing property wish list and desired locations. In the end he helped us secure the right property in a great location. We recommend him without hesitation.

Our purchase with Shelley and Gary was by long distance. They worked tirelessly to make sure we felt we had as much information about properties as if we were there. This included FaceTime, photos, and videos. They went the extra mile by going many times to the house for inspection and even getting contractors in for measurements, so we were ready when we arrived. They are eager to share information about the Lowcountry which is very new to us. Their response to our inquiries was always quick and friendly. We are now moved in, and they continue to be a great source for information. We highly recommend them without reservation.

I had a great experience with Tom. Back in June I put my house on the market and I needed to find my forever home, but due to the pandemic I was very nervous. Until I meet Tom he insured me that he will be there for me and my family every step of the way and that’s what he did. He went above and beyond for us. He made our selling and buying experience a great one and we are so happy that we had Tom represent us. If you want someone to find you the forever home or helping you sell your home call Tom you will not be disappointed.

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!!

Debbie and Daniel were fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond to make the purchase as easy as possible. They were also able to recommend a great financial and legal team to work with throughout our process. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future purchases.

We met Christina when looking at a house she was showing.  She had also been recommended by the agent who helped us find our previous home on Hilton Head and was now retired.  After falling in love with the home, we asked Christina to look at our existing home and ended up having her list it.  She did an excellent job marketing our home and was on site for issues that arose when we were out of town.  When a seemingly good offer was made, we accepted and Christina became our battlefield commander as the pending sale turned into a nightmare of frivolous issues from the other party.  Her professional demeanor and extensive experience guided us through the quagmire and resulted in closing successfully.  We highly recommend Christina as an excellent realtor and as importantly, a really good person!

I am writing to firmly recommend Diana Sroufe for her outstanding service as a real estate agent. Throughout my husband’s and my experience working with Diana, we were consistently impressed by her exceptional qualities and dedication to her clients. We both listed a home and found and purchased our new home with Diana. Diana possesses an exceptional level of knowledge of the real estate market in the community which provides invaluable insights to make the best decisions. She meticulously guided us through every step of the real estate process and answered any questions which was comforting and helped us feel very supported. Most notable was Diana’s positive energy which was infectious, creating an atmosphere of optimism and confidence even in the most challenging situations. Beyond her positive demeanor, Diana is incredibly resourceful. As well, her willingness to go the extra mile honestly is limitless. For the home we were selling she provided assistance with contractors for any items that needed to be completed before closing. She met the contractors at the home to ensure everything was done properly and in a timely fashion. In summary, my husband and I cannot recommend Diana Sroufe highly enough. Her experienced and supportive approach, attention to detail, positive energy and willingness to go the extra mile make her an invaluable asset for selling a home or purchasing a new home. All of Diana’s qualities helped us feel very comfortable during this time of change in our lives.

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!

Last Spring, David [Hill] helped my husband and I find a perfect house in Hilton Head.  We started looking at houses when we were vacationing in March and ended up closing on a house in July.  David listened well to what our interests were in a house, sending us information weekly on houses that were available.  Going through the process of buying the home, we had many questions which David was always eager to answer, never making us feel uncomfortable to ask yet another question.  We would highly recommend David Hill to either sell your home or to use him to help find that perfect vacation home.
