On one of many vacation trips to Hilton Head, my wife and I met with Debbie Iredell years ago to get an idea about buying a property on the island. Right from the start you can see that Debbie is a professional who listens carefully to her client's needs, budget and preferences. She knows the market very well and is able to provide a personal touch to her consultative approach. Despite our inexperience with the area and hesitation to jump in, Debbie's patience and outstanding follow through skills landed us our dream home! Debbie worked with us over time, always providing great insights, excellent listings and never pushy. She helped us navigate an upside down market until we finalized our purchase on the perfect property. Her execution on paperwork is flawless, her network of service providers is outstanding and her commitment to total customer satisfaction is second to none. We highly recommend this real estate professional of the highest caliber. Debbie is a pleasure to work with and has become a friend for life. We are forever grateful to have met her.

Excellent realtor. Was willing to go extra miles to find exactly what we were looking for. She was our eyes and a great listener. Wasn't on HHI however we got the million dollar view, amenities and condo of our dreams with our beer pocketbook on an island close by. We are now loving the low country of SC. Her name is Elise Witman. You won't be disappointed.

In this crazy competitive market, where buyers are making all cash offers on properties sight-unseen, the folks at RE/MAX Island Realty never stopped fighting for me. My agent, Robert Rini, and his team assured me that they would find my dream home and they absolutely did! They kept their ears to the ground, stayed on top of all market activity, and made sure I was perfectly positioned to win the day when my home hit the market. Once the contract was signed, they REALLY went to work, coordinating inspections, walk-throughs, managing transaction activities, etc. Just an amazing, first-class group of professional people!

I just want to write and let anyone know who is buying a property in Hilton Head or surrounding area that Debbie Sullivan knows all there is to know about the market. Debbie has sold our home in Windmill Harbour, a lot in Crosswinds and found our current condo in Brighton Bay Villas. She is smart, professional and has become our friend( she is a KY girl ). As she says she is with you for life!!

If you have any thought of buying a home in the Hilton Head area, I can not emphasize enough how amazing an agent Lea will be for you. We were buying in a market filled with the absolute turmoil of the COVID bubble. Lea was the calm in the middle of the storm.
Despite it being the week of her wedding, she was in constant contact with us. Lea went above and beyond what we could have ever expected.
She knows the market and all of the nuances of each neighborhood and community. She is a true professional. But most of all, Lea is one of the kindest people you will ever meet.
Lea we can not thank you enough for helping us find our dream home!

My husband and I couldn't be any more pleased with the service we received from Kim and Robert at RE/MAX Island Realty. Kim took care of all the details on the sale of our house, while Moose found us the buyer. They took an unfavorable situation and turned it around for us. If we do decide to relocate to the area, we will want these two helping us once again.

We had the opportunity to work with Debbie Sullivan during our recent condo purchase in Hilton Head. She did a great job of contacting us when a new property came on the market and was able to facetime us the same day as we were out of state. The market was/is crazy and Debbie was always looking out for us and helped the process be as smooth as possible. I do not hesitate recommending Debbie as we will continue to stay in contact for any further needs.
