Southern Coast Realty / Hilton Head Island Office

Russ came highly recommended by a close friend, and working with him to find a vacation and rental home on Hilton Head Island was an absolute delight. His deep knowledge of the island, including its locations, communities, and tides, was incredibly helpful in finding the perfect home for our family. Our top priority was easy beach access for our kids and grandkids, without being directly on the waterfront, and Russ found us a home that met those needs perfectly within Palmetto Dunes. His extensive experience in home construction was invaluable, helping us avoid unexpected surprises after the purchase and providing useful maintenance tips. Russ is an excellent communicator who provides honest insights about the process, payments, and what to expect after purchasing. We highly recommend him

We would highly recommend Russ, as we have said numerous times, we struck gold when we found Russ. We were considering retiring in Hilton Head but had never been here and weren't sure if Beaufort or Hilton Head would be best for us. We called Russ and luckily for us, he had extensive knowledge of both Beaufort and Hilton Head. We spent a few weekends exploring both areas and we found a great oceanfront investment property in N Forest Beach. Fast forward a few years and Russ was there to help us find our retirement home. His extensive knowledge of construction and the local waters were instrumental in helping us make the decision to purchase a waterfront home in Sea Pines. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Russ.

We found Russ on line, (we live in San Diego) and engaged with him to help us find a place on Hilton Head. My wife claims he was the first one to get get back to her on line, and was incredibly helpful thereafter, so we hired him to help us find a property. We ended up buying a property that was perfect for us, on the water on Calibogue Cay that was NOT listed by Russ. Russ is incredibly knowledgeable about waterfront low country property and I would not consider using anyone else in the future. He is an experienced water man, and I wanted a dock and had just purchased a boat...he was incredibly helpful in providing resources for dock construction, home renovation, design etc. Russ is also a really solid, honest guy and very fun to be around. We are now trading our favorite Pinot Noi

Russ and Deb helped us find a house in Beaufort in 2015 and sell that house when we decided to move upstate last year. Both transactions went smoothly. Russ personally handled every buyer showing during the selling process to make sure questions were handled immediately and all assets of the property were reviewed so potential buyers understood the value of the home.

Russ was very professional in helping me understand the market in Hilton Head and Beaufort County. Having lived in Hilton Head for many years, he knows the history of its of its growth, and his years in construction mean he can offer an additional perspective. He was a pleasure to work with, and I am grateful I was able to benefit from his expertise.
