Testimonials

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.

Drew Davis was instrumental in getting our condo unit sold this past fall. Drew helped us navigate the complexities of selling a condo from across state lines. He was knowledgeable about the process and kept us in the loop during the whole proceeding. He was able to coordinate the repairs needed to insure that the property was in excellent condition for the sell. Without Drew the process of selling our unit would have been too much for us to handle. We now have him searching for another HHI property for us and will continue to use him as needed in the future. We enjoy and continue to appreciate working with Drew.

We met Lorri Lewis when we inherited a family villa in Sea Pines. At the time we were thinking we would sell it, but Lorri encouraged us to hold on to our treasure. She offered several ideas to help us increase the rental revenue. Her tips were spot on and we made a significant profit the first year.
Over the next few years she was willing to show us Hilton Head Island homes as we were interested in purchasing another property on the island.
She helped make our dream come true when we purchased a home in Long Cove Club.
Our relationship with Lorri spans over 15 years. She has been very patient, professional, knowledgeable and represented our interest during due diligence. We strongly recommend Lorri Lewis, as she can fulfill your real estate needs.

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!!

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

We have had the pleasure of working with Nancy Love for more than twenty-six years, buying and selling our villa on Hilton Head Island. The experience has never been anything other than outstanding. Today, Nancy has also brought on board the family and they have the same qualities that mom has always had. Professionalism, Nancy will always go above and beyond, with her calming voice along with a voice of reason when there are bumps in the road to successfully purchase (or sell) the home of your dreams on the magnificent Island of Hilton Head.

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!

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!!

Lorri Lewis helped my husband and I purchase a rental property in Sea Pines, HHI. We did not know much about the area and were so lucky to find Lorri. She is very knowledgable, professional, and just an all around great person to work with. We highly recommend her to family and friends and will be using her again in the future!
