Testimonials

Several months prior to our arrival on Hilton Head Island we started sending Paula Traver links to homes we liked on Zillow. We sent MANY links. We let Paula know the type of home we were looking for. The day after we arrived she had arranged for us to see approximately 8 homes, most of which interested us. The next day, another 8, including our dream home. We put in an offer that night after Paula came to us with the contract. She delivered the “earnest money” check to the lawyer. Our bid was accepted, and then Paula negotiated with the seller for us to purchaser the furniture. That, too, was accepted. Everything was so easy! Paula knows the ins and outs of living on Hilton Head Island, the plusses and minusus of the various “Plantations”. She is personable, a smart negotiator, and spent all the time needed with us. Paula made this major purchase so stress-free and easy!

Lorri Lewis is the most knowledgeable, well connected, and well respected real estate agent on Hilton Head Island. There is no one more qualified to entrust with your real estate needs, whether buying or selling. Her years of experience guiding clients successfully through a constantly evolving, and often highly competitive real estate market is a huge asset for all of her clients. I have worked with Lorri twice already, and am already looking forward to partnering with her again for our next real estate adventure on Hilton Head Island!

Lee Simmons has been my realtor on multiple properties on Hilton Head as both a buyer and a seller. When looking at past real estate transaction experiences in other areas of the country, I can honestly say that Lee is the best realtor that I have worked with. I looked to her for advice on all areas to include but not limited to price, location, what I needed to do to my property to sell, what needed to be done to the property I wanted to purchase, etc. She connected me to people and businesses, that could help me during and after closing. Her network made each step in the process seamless. To Lee, every client is the most important client. She was available whenever I needed her and accommodated my schedule. She provided her honest opinions which made me trust her completely. With each transaction, I saw her professionalism, experience, and expertise in action. I was glad she was on my side. Thank you, Lee for helping me find my forever home.

Barbra Finer…I always felt Realtors were overpaid until I worked with you! Whatever you got paid on the purchase of our house …it should have been more! Your attention to detail & follow-through was exemplary! You didn’t just “listen” to our wants & needs but you “Heard” us and found us a place that fits exactly what we were hoping to find!

We love it and feel fortunate to have found you! Thank you for turning our dream of a little “Piece of Paradise on Hilton Head” into realty! We will certainly recommend you to absolutely everyone interested in real estate in the Hilton Head area!!

We recently sold a Sea Pines Villa through Nancy Love (Love Family Sea Pines Real estate). We have sold many dwellings over the years and can honestly say that this was the most pleasant sale of all. Unlike many realtors, Nancy kept us updated on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. She promptly responded to all e-mails and phone calls. We highly recommend Nancy for all your real estate needs.

"Tracey Kersteen is extremely professional and knowledgeable about the local market. She assisted us from start to finish with our purchase. Since we are out of state, Tracey went above and beyond to help us with local contacts which made the process seamless. Tracey was always quick to respond and offer guidance and advice. I would highly recommend Tracey - hands down!!"

Mary Pracht - And I have to tell you. You came as advertised by Jim. You are very, very good at your job. And I have to thank my lucky stars for that.

We have bought and sold eleven homes in five states. Without question, Barbra Finer is the most professional Realtor we have known. Aside from her mastery of negotiating both the price and the terms of sale, she is more interested in her clients owning the right home at the right price than in getting commissions. She once advised us that a home we were ready to buy was “Not good value”. At that point she thought it wasthat home or none for us, she was sacrificing her commission with our interest in mind. And she was dead right. The other unique thing about Barbra is how hard she works after a sale contract is signed, making sure every detail is understood and correct.

It is with great pleasure, that I am writing this letter of support and recommendation for Lee Simmons of the Sea Pines Real Estate group.

We worked with Lee to purchase our new home in Hilton Head Island almost one year ago. Our immediate and extended families had been coming to HHI for more than a decade and we decided it was time to make our move to begin the next phase of our life's journey and establish new roots in South Carolina.

Not only did Lee help us find our dream home - not easy given the tight real estate - but she was great at walking us through and managing every step of the process from inspections, to financing, to insurance, to banking- all with unflappable poise and grace to close without a hitch.

Through this process, Lee became more than our agent. She became our friend and first source of information for anything "HHI" related. Given her own journey, Lee knows so much about the Island, the places and the people. She is our first source for recommendations for restaurants for special occasions, stay at home pet sitters, interior decorators, and out of the way places that only the locals know. She has never steered us the wrong way.

We have moved more than twelve times over 33 years of being together. The fastest way we met people previously was through our four wonderful children, the local school, and work. Being empty nesters and working remotely, our biggest concern was how would we find a way to make HHI our new home for the future. Through Lee, we found our answer and we are forever grateful to know her and call her a friend. Sincerely, David and Ann Broecker
