Our Experience with James Wedgeworth was... great as always - 5 sales in the past 20 years, (so I should know). Never a hitch, always smooth - Thanks again for a job well done.

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.

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!

“Sabrina was the listing agent on my condo at the Preserve in Hilton Head. We owned the unit for over 15 years and used it as rental; vacation home and primary residence over the years, it definitely had sentimental value to us. When it was time to sell, I decided to select an agent based on the recent sales in the community. I selected (3) agents by looking at Zillow Sold Properties, Sabrina was the only one that took my call on Saturday afternoon. We met with her the following Monday and within the week property was listed. Sabrina was very professional, straight forward and promised to look after our home after we left (we are from Nevada). Sabrina did an excellent job advertising the property, she was there before and after every showing, provided us with feedback and held several open houses. Sabrina’s hard work and dedication resulted in 2 offers after just 4 weeks on the market (July 2025 was already a buyers’ market). We sold the unit for price we wanted, entire process was super easy, she took care of the inspections, got us in touch with great attorney and pretty much took care of any issues that came up from the moment we handed her the keys. Sabrina is one of the best real estate agents we have worked with, and we would recommend her to any buyer or seller. Thank you Sabrina!!!”

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.

"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!"

Thanks to both Shelley and Gary for making this the easiest and fastest sale we have ever experienced! We are so happy that we decided to go with Team Elliott of Charter One Realty. Thank you for also referring us to Smith Law firm, for they were fantastic in every way. My husband (also a Realtor) and I were very impressed with how often they communicated via their portal and text messages. We will definitely connect with you the next time we are in Hilton Head!

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."

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!

I found Alec Smith long before I moved to South Carolina. A friend in Maine had moved here and raved about it so I started checking it out and I found Alec. He educated me so much about the area, sending me maps, homes to look at, phone calls offering ups and downs of different areas, but most importantly, he wanted to know what I was looking for so he could help me "check off all the boxes". In May of 2022 I finally made the move here from Maine and began officially working with Alec to find a home. Because he listened intently to what I was looking for, it didn't take long to find my dream home in Battery Point with fabulous amenities. Alec will make sure you get everything thoroughly inspected before you make up your mind to buy or not to buy, e.g. inspection, termite inspection, appraisal, etc. He keeps his eye on the ball making sure things get taken care of quickly and correctly and the process continues to move along to closing. He spent months with me and was never pushy or impatient. AND he bought me a gift card to a high-end furniture store to boot! Alec's great!! I could go on and on and on. You can't go wrong with this broker. I highly, highly recommend him. Oh, and even though I'm in my home now, he still answers questions I have about the house, like how do I get the gas fireplace to work? He helped me figure that out!

We have bought and sold several properties in Beaufort with Alec Smith and we will continue to use him for our real estate needs. He is knowledgeable about the local area and his relationship with local contractors/service providers has helped us close on time without any issues. I trust Alec to get to the job done!

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 extremely happy with Sabrina’s performance! She is a very hard worker and always responded to our calls and texts promptly. She answered all of our questions and took care of many “hands on” issues for us since we lived over 4 hours away. Thank you Sabrina for your guidance and professionalism. We look forward to working with you again.”

"Not only is Judd Tracy a great guy, but he is also an amazing Realtor. After Judd listed our house in Bluffton, we received two full-price offers within 24 hours! He also was extremely helpful in finding our new home. Judd is a Realtor you can trust, and I highly recommend him to anyone."

“It was a pleasure working with Ethan. He is very knowledgeable of the area and the selling and buying process. He kept me well informed of the progress and was always available to answer my questions. He had my house sold in about a week after it went on the market. I highly recommend using him in any real estate need.”

We worked with Drew on the sale of 8 Larium and could not be happier with Drew and Kim’s market knowledge, follow-through, and negotiation on behalf of us as a seller. Drew stayed in constant contact with each of us throughout the process, which was greatly appreciated. Their team struck a balance on necessary repairs and what was needed to position the house to sell. We would recommend Drew and his team to anyone looking for a realtor that has his seller’s best interest at the fore. Thank you, Drew and Kim!

We were introduced to Duke when we realized we wanted to make Berkeley Hall our home. South Carolina is a new adventure for us! We so enjoyed working with him. Duke was very knowledgeable about the lots that were available and couldn’t do enough to answer our questions. We had an easy process picking our lot and he was helpful during the building process. He guided us with our homeowner’s insurance and home inspection. We would highly recommend Duke if you plan to live in the Bluffton area.

My wife and I made a great choice when we selected Christina Forbis of Charter One as our realtor.  Christina has a real 'can do' spirit and knows the business and the market. She took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in our new house.  Despite the fact that we were working in a difficult market for buyers with limited inventory, she was patient with us and eventually found the perfect house for us in our preferred neighborhood.  Christina is super easy to work with & totally rocks!

Hi Marisa, I want you to know how much we appreciate everything you and Dianna have done for us to help our daughter Stacy relocate to Bluffton. There was an instant connection the minute we walked into 280 and both of you greeted us. Then there was the fact that all of us really fell in love with the house and all the decorating. Yesterday was wonderful Marisa. I cannot begin to tell you how much it meant to us to meet the owners and get to know them. Quite frankly, it’s almost like this was meant to be. They’re wonderful people and I prayed for them last night because I sensed the worry around David’s heart condition. Your job must be so rewarding when people connect the way we all did yesterday. It was truly lovely. It’s been a pleasure working with you and I hope our paths cross again in the future. We will want to have you over once Stacy has moved in.

My wife and I recently purchased a resale home in Latitude Margaritaville, Hilton Headed. The whole experience from beginning, to our new beginning, was exceptional. Our realtor and neighbor, Brenda Kline was professional, informative, respectful, responsive and fun. She truly made the process and transition an easy one. Thank you Brenda. Living in paradise began with you.

Being a first time home buyer can be scary, add in a new build and it’s even scarier! Michelle was incredible. She guided us through every step of the process and explained everything so simply. Honestly, I don’t know if I would have been able to do this without her spot on direction and guidance. She is amazing at what she does and makes the whole process run so smooth. She has become a friend who I appreciate so much! Even after closing she is making sure everything is taken care of and goes above and beyond! I would recommend her to anyone going through a new home purchase a million times! She is truly the best!
