Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hilton Head Bluffton Realty

I listed my house with this office where Bill True is the manager of my broker. This is summer-fall of 2020, and the local Hilton Head real estate market is scorching hot. I had listed my home FSBO, but I believed that a professional brokerage firm would get me the best possible price. Not only did they con me into thinking I could get $20,000 more by listing with them, they literally twisted my arm to accept a buyer for $14,000 *under* my original for-sale-buy-owner price. My broker, who is supposed to get me the best price, didn't even inform me that I could submit a counter offer to the buyer. Instead, he said I had to respond before the buyer's offer expires the next day. This is one of the biggest decisions of my life, and I have 24 hours to accept or face the consequences? My

We fell in love with Hilton Head Island but had only visited a few times when we decided to shop for a home here, something a bit outside of our comfort zone. It may not have happened if it weren't for Barry. Rather than jump in and start selling us houses, Barry wanted to know first why we were moving to Hilton Head, and what kind of house it would take to fulfill our dreams, something we weren't sure of ourselves. Sales would come later. A realtor who didn't want to sell us a house was a bit unusual, but that was Barry’s approach. Barry started by showing us the different neighborhoods, and explained the differences, the shopping, the beaches, the restaurants, and the rental rules. He correctly predicted that we would prefer a neighborhood without short term rentals, with other families

Throughout our home-buying process, David and Cathi were incredibly communicative. They promptly answered calls, emails, and texts keeping us informed about every development. Their professionalism was consistent. They were always on time for appointments and provided reliable advice. As first-time buyers, we valued Cathi’s and David’s patience. They educated us about each step, from mortgage pre-approval to closing. Their guidance in understanding the mortgage process was particularly helpful. They even went the extra mile to ensure that our new home was in pristine condition before we moved in. They also recommended local services that have turned out to be outstanding. We are looking forward to having them as neighbors and highly recommend them to friends and family.

Working with Kristin was a pleasure. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and very personable. She made the process of looking at homes, finding one we loved, getting it for a great price, and closing the deal, seamless.

Despite our house being a challenging sale due to its age, Bill True was able to generate enough traffic and interest in a short period of time to find the perfect buyer fit. His advice was honest and very beneficial. Not having bought or sold any property in 32 years, we found the whole experience to be surprisingly smooth and pleasant.
