We have known Diana for many years and have found her to be extremely engaged as a realtor on a number of fronts. Her low keyed, engaging manner, allows her to be herself, and work in the best interest of her clients.One of the greatest assets Diana has is her ability to completely understand the needs of both the sellers whom she represents, and the buyers she meets, to grasp the salient aspects of what it may take to consummate a sale. In so doing, she works diligently on behalf of the seller to deliver on the faith that they have placed in her to represent them, but also makes every effort with a buyer to understand their needs and what needs to be done to finalize a deal.As is often the case in intricate Real Estate transactions, the “devil is in the details”. Diana, is very focused and detail oriented, which allows her to anticipate potential “roadblocks to a sale” and develop the means early on in the “sales process”, to remove any potential obstacles to a successful sale.In our most recent experience with Diana, she kept us informed with “daily updates” and made a number of recommendations relative to how we might enhance our ability to insure a successful sale. Following her recommendations, we were able to obtain a significant offer within 3 days of placing our home on the market!On balance, as noted above, there is none better, on a number of fronts, than Diana Sroufe!

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!

Hannah made our process as first time homeowners so simple. She was always available for questions, very attentive and professional. Thank you Hannah for going above and beyond to help us find our perfect home!

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.

Team Elliott helped us out tremendously, as first-time home sellers they were very knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. They guided us through and took care and pride in helping us reach our goals. After meeting with them we knew instantly that they had our best interest in mind. I cannot praise them enough for their guidance. My wife and I were very pleased with their service and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for realtors in the area.

"We are so happy we chose Brenda Kline from Charter One Realty for the purchase of our new home. Her knowledge of the area made answering all of our questions so easy and informative. Her patient approach to an otherwise stressful event made everything run smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Brenda for all your real estate services."

Duke (especially with his background) and Linda have an excellent grasp of the condition of the real estate market in gated communities. Both Linda and Duke are responsive and provide frank information on the market and what should or should not be done to sell your property.

"I have experienced several moves over the years and this most recent move was the most challenging. I interviewed three realty firms and there was no contest. Austin Stokes and Ethan James, the Ethan James Team, of Charter One came to meet me ready to listen to my expectations and with a very professional presentation of how they wanted to market my home and were as interested as I in getting my home sold. Austin promised me he would help me in any way I needed from start to finish. This was more than just a sales pitch, a nice gesture. He has taken boxes for donations, trash bags out, and checked in often to see if I needed help with anything. He meant every word. Austin and Ethan are the knowledgeable, hardworking, professional gentlemen to whom you want to trust the buying or selling of your home."

We never fully knew just how much difference a great sales agent could help with the sale of our home until we had the good fortune to contact Christina Forbis. From the very first meeting until closing Christina was by our side the entire time. Her marketing skills, staging suggestions, excellent communication skills and attention to detail let us know quickly that we had made the right choice. She spent so much time working for us we often commented about when did she possibly have time to work with other clients. Choose Christina Forbis - you will not be disappointed.

“For someone who’s never bought a house before, I was very fortunate to have Daniel and Debbie for a team. Between Daniel showing me home after home and Debbie’s updates on the backend of everything, they made the process of buying a home stress-free.”

We’ve used Richard for the past 19 years. He has always been courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable within the industry. This past sale, we came across several difficulties and Richard made the process as smooth and seamless as possible.

"If not for Diana Sroufe, our home search would not have ended in Belfair. Finding a home in a limited availability market, dealing with a long distance sale and move from Colorado, and the added pressure of the COVID hysteria proved almost too much for these new South Carolina residents. However we found “superwoman” Diana and she proved to be an indispensable resource for us. Even though she represented the seller, Diana became our go-to person to navigate the buying process in this state. She could answer any question that we had — whether about Belfair, the Bluffton community, need for flood insurance, etc. She was instrumental in ensuring the inspection items of concern were resolved in a timely manner to our satisfaction. She answered many a late night call as we came to closing. And she is a special ambassador for the Belfair community, going out of her way to introduce us to new friends and neighbors. Not only was she a tremendous business asset during our transition, she has become a dear and trusted friend"

It is with great pleasure I am writing this. For the purchase of our 2nd home we dealt with Ryan Bassett from your company. We could not have been treated better if he were a family member!! Ryan made this deal work for us; without him I am sure it wouldn't have happened and we have many family members we are referring to Ryan!

From the very beginning, his personality stood out—he’s incredibly passionate about his work, genuinely kind, and fiercely advocates for his buyers. He always kept my best interests at the center of every conversation and decision. He’s a “hustler” in the best way: focused, persistent, and always moving the process forward. His intelligence and expertise were evident at every step. Alec has a deep understanding of real estate and knows the local market like the back of his hand. He has the buying process down to a science. He’s a natural problem solver with exceptional attention to detail, and I always felt reassured knowing he could answer any question I threw his way—even the ones I worried were “dumb.” I was equally impressed by his drive. He stayed looped into every communication and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. When I got behind on tasks or requests, he nudged me forward with encouragement rather than pressure. Alec was also incredibly patient with my family and me. We weren’t always quick or decisive, but he supported us at every turn without frustration or judgment. Another standout quality was his extensive professional network. Alec clearly had a positive working relationship with the seller’s agent, and he seemed to know reliable people for every part of the home-buying process. From inspections to lawn care, he had top-quality recommendations ready to go. Finally—and most importantly—Alec is honest. He carries himself with real integrity, and I always felt he brought the truth to every situation, even when it wasn’t the easiest or most convenient thing to say. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for someone driven, knowledgeable, genuine, and truly dedicated to his clients, call Alec for your next home purchase.

Christina did a wonderful, professional job selling my mother's house. The whole process, from signing her listing contract to the closing at the attorney's office, was a breeze...because she knows what she's doing. She convinced me she would get more money for the sale of the house than I could trying to sell it on my own...and she did! I was going to be away for the summer and knew I could trust her to take care of anything that might come up. She took time to do the extra things too...the house was empty, so she did house checks to make sure everything was OK. She even arranged to have a fallen large tree branch removed from the property. I have no hesitation in saying you won't be disappointed with her commitment to selling your house.
“The formula for Sabrina's success is based on three simple tenets: honesty, persistence and an unparalleled commitment to us. This was not our first rodeo in searching to make a change, and we benefited from Sabrina's proven sales record, smart negotiating skills and 30 years of real estate experience! From the initial phone call to the day of closing and beyond, Sabrina made the transaction easy, understandable, and stress-free. Sabrina gave us an unrivaled level of service, with frequent updates and regular communication to ensure that you'll always feel updated on the process. There is no doubt that I would let Sabrina help us find or sell our next home!”

Chip Wedgeworth went above and beyond in every aspect of the selling process. His team members as well were incredibly friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Both Chip Wedgeworth and his team worked diligently and quickly sold our house. I think it took him about a week to have the house in the "under contract" status. Thanks to his wide and vast array of connections, his ability to peg the market and price accordingly, and to promptly and thoroughly give us any and all feedback that he received from other realtors and potential buyers. Mr. Wedgeworth and his team members worked with me in a variety of ways that can be described again as going above and beyond. They assisted me at what would be considered "after business" hours because of my own work schedule and did everything they could to accommodate us in the selling of our home to make the process seem much simpler than I thought it would have been. I would truly give the Wedgeworth team five stars in every single area above: local knowledge, process expertise, responsiveness, and negotiation skills amongst many other attributes that I would applaud with 5+ stars. I would recommend with the highest confidence Chip Wedgeworth and his team!

Drew just helped us buy a home and we are still speaking of his and his team’s professionalism and his ability to listen and put our interests first. We were clearly not just a “commission check.” He was available and extremely knowledgeable about SC real estate. We would ask for his help again in the future and have already recommended him to family and friends.

“Ethan is very knowledgeable in every aspect of Real Estate. He is Hard working and a person with passion and integrity! I would recommend Ethan with all of our real estate needs. What drew us to Ethan was his patience and willingness to take the time to work with you. He understands that looking for a home is a personal journey and can be a life-changing decision. I would highly recommend working with Ethan at James Real Estate Advisors!”

Our overall experience with Delcher and Delcher was excellent. We really appreciated their market experience, local knowledge and the care and consideration that was put forth in the listing and marketing of our home. As we were abroad during the process, we were kept well informed, and both Linda and Duke were always available, pleasant and extremely professional. Highly recommended.

“This was arguably one of the most challenging processes I’ve experienced because of the seller and the agent husband / wife team. Had it not been for Judd, the closing attorneys and the mortgage broker I don’t think this deal would have happened. Many thanks to Judd Tracy and Charter One for their patience and professionalism getting this deal over the finish line. Couldn’t have done it without you."

We have executed multiple transactions with Andy as both buyers and sellers. He is, without question, the most thorough, well researched, and intelligent minds you will find in real estate, anywhere, not just in Sea Pines. He combines a conscientious, service-based style, with a keen business sense and impressive marketing skills. Any transaction we ever do will be with Andy Reed. If you’re smart, you will too.
Tim and Sandy DorionHilton Head Island
We had an amazing experience with Christina! From our first meeting, she was professional and easy to communicate with. You can tell that she is a real "go getter"! She worked so hard with us and provided great advice and feedback from start to finish. Selling a home during this Covid-19 pandemic was uncharted territory for all of us and she kept us grounded and got the job done in less than a month from list to close. You won't be disappointed with Christina, she is the real deal!

My husband and I are thankful to have found Diana Sroufe as our realtor. We are new to South Carolina and first time buyers in a golf community. Diana was a wealth of information in helping us find both a fitting community for our desires and a perfect home. She was available to answer our many questions and a pleasure to work with. We are so happy!
“Sabrina has been most responsive and helpful. She keeps on top of every aspect of the transaction. When looking for properties, she sets up viewings (in my case virtual) very quickly and provides her opinion on overall condition. I would highly recommend Sabrina to help in your property search.”

I could not be happier with the hard work Christina put into selling my house in Port Royal. If you are looking to sell your house and you want it done fast and for top dollar, please call Christina.
Nancy ThomasSavannah, GA
We could not have asked for a better agent. Relocating from Kentucky to Georgia was a big plan and huge leap of faith, and finding a house was so much easier with Hannah’s help. From doing virtual showings, a video of the town we picked, working with our lender and just listening to my worries it was above and beyond service and care. If we need to move again we will be calling Hannah without a doubt.

Selling my townhouse on Hilton Head Island while living in Connecticut could have been stressful, but David Hill made it easy. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island and the real estate climate there. I especially appreciated how well-connected he was—he coordinated seamlessly with my property manager, lawyer and various contractors to facilitate a seamless sale and closing. I always felt confident everything was taken care of. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate agent.

We recently purchased a home in Hilton Head Island. We are moving from out of state so that presented its own set of problems. The transaction couldn’t have gone smoother. Let me start by saying we have bought and sold several properties and normally don’t use a realtor. When we purchase our next few rentals on the island we will absolutely use Christina Forbis. She thought of everything, she was responsive, kind, genuine, honest, and upfront. She knows how to do her job and then exceeds your expectations. You are in good hands if you choose Christina as your realtor. Her knowledge of the area is priceless.
Satisfied Client
I have worked in my lifetime with over 20 real estate brokers. Buying and selling property in many different areas of the country is pretty typical for me. I must say that James Wedgeworth is by far the BEST broker I have ever dealt with. I could get into particulars and it would take an hour to write this review. So let me bullet point: -Professional -Extremely knowledgeable both to SC laws and local customs -Never say never attitude -Great negotiator -Superb listening skills -Amazing support staff (Erin is a rock star) -Kind, funny, witty and overall true southern gentleman. When push came to shove, he got the deal listed and sold in 6 days at my asking price. I can’t say enough. He took what was a difficult situation and made it work. Thank you James!
