Testimonials

"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!!"

My sister recommended Paula Traver because she had been so diligent and helpful in helping her secure her home on Hilton Head Island. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in the best of hands! She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and listens well in order to get to the heart of what you really need and desire in a home. She spent countless hours on our behalf helping us to find the perfect home to meet the needs of our family. Her patience with my husband, my sister AND myself was impressive! Paula’s enthusiasm for her job and the Hilton Head area sold US! Not to mention, she is great fun to be around and a person you can count on as a friend.

Mary Pracht - Thank you so much for helping us find our dream home. You did a wonderful job throughout the whole process! We love our new bird feeder too. Looks great in our lagoon view.

Barbra Finer - We were extremely comfortable in relying on your expertise and local market knowledge. As out-of-state buyers, we needed skilled representation to be sure we weren’t trying to buy something with hidden future problems, Barbra – you are in a league of our own.
You are an extremely good communicator. The real estate market is time sensitive, so we needed a real estate agent who would let us know quickly where we stood with our search process. You did a superb job of communication with us, being proactive and keeping us well informed.
You are an extremely good listener. We always felt that you had our needs as one of your top priorities. You quickly picked up on Katherine’s desired style of a second home which was critical in our working relationship in order to make us feel supported and healthy.
You are extremely organized and display a great attention to detail. You communicated with us in a variety of modes (by phone, via e-mail, and even by FaceTime when showing me what sort of traffic noise level one property would have). We can’t say enough about how well you paid attention to our specific needs.
Your honesty as a real estate agent is where you really shine. We needed an agent who would tell us like it is – and you did – even if it happened to be something which wasn’t easy to hear. We can’t thank you enough for laying out what we, as buyers, could expect through the search and purchasing processes.
And finally, you have a great work ethic. And it was not just about you putting in a lot of time for us (which we know you did). It was about you working smart for us, doing whatever was necessary to help us finally find a vacation home we wanted. But even more important, your service, guidance and willingness to help us after closing was invaluable. So we view you as much more than just our real estate agent. We consider you our friend. This experience with you was a wonderful and rewarding partnership and we look forward to staying in touch with you over the years to come.

We have had the pleasure of working with David and Kathy Love for several years. During that time, we have found David’s expertise on the Sea Pines market to be invaluable to helping us to understand our options and the nuances of location with regards to our investment properties. He took the time to understand our needs and to perfectly match those needs to just the right property. As nonresident owners who have purchased and sold multiple properties in Sea Pines with David and Kathy’s assistance, we have always felt that they are truly representing our best interest. We are extremely pleased with the work Kathy has done on the production and internet marketing of one property we have sold and to one we have for sale. The depth of information and the favorable exposure she created for our properties over the internet we feel is second to none. The care and professionalism that David and Kathy have given us is unsurpassed. We highly recommend their services to anyone interested in purchasing or selling property in Sea Pines.

Mary Pracht - Thanks for everything and for being willing to help us with needs for the house any time the need arises (especially the furniture delivery) We really appreciate your continued kindness.

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

Tracey Kersteen is fantastic!! She helped us both buy and sell a home in Sea Pines. She is friendly, professional, very responsive, and goes the extra mile to make everything fall into place nicely. When I worried it may be stressful selling from afar, she took every worry away from the start and was on top of everything. I look forward to working with Tracey for our next purchase. Top notch agent!!

I have used Lorri Lewis for multiple transactions on Hilton Head Island. I can strongly recommend her as she is very professional, responsive and knowledgeable regarding the market. Being an out of state owner/buyer/seller I relied on Lorrie's ability to recommend and judgment with respect to the various vendors required for these types of transactions; they were always professional, timely and their fees reasonable. Lorrie went above and beyond at times working with the management company to schedule repairs and inspections of the property. She is truly a partner in the process.
