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!

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.

My family hired Lorri Lewis of Sea Pines Real Estate at the Beach Club after seeking a strong buyer’s agent online with no insights from friends or referrals. Lorri offered the perfect combination of experience, Hilton Head knowledge and purchasing savvy to find our dream vacation home.

Lorri not only make the search and buying process seamless and safe, she easily assessed the most important features for my family. She spent time listening to each of us and miraculously found our perfect second home in less than 60 days of shopping. Lorri knew which properties and locations would match our needs and skillfully guided us through inventory to consider the most viable options, only. Lorri’s conscientious approach to virtual tours and, during contracting, service experts more than made up for the challenges Covid-19 presented. And, she was 100% responsive and available to cover for our local needs during the remote buying experience. Even now, I know I can call on Lorri for anything we might need, be it home repair experts or the best hidden places for a great low country meal.

Professional through and through, Lorri navigated through a multiple offer situation helping us bid strongly for a brand new listing in a hot seller’s market and guided us to make solid decisions that landed us the property we will enjoy for generations. My young adult kids, very different from one another, are equally delighted with the new place. I honestly don’t know how she pulled that off!

Can’t say enough about how successful and smooth our home buying experience was with Lorri at the helm. I would not hesitate to trust Lorri with insights on all low country property investment decisions and hire her to see them through.
