THE PREPARATION
PLANNING TO SUCCEED
Consistent results come from using proven systems and expert marketing strategies. We provide our sellers with a comprehensive business plan designed to enhance the perceived value of their property. We achieve this through strategic pricing, impactful property presentation, and highly targeted marketing efforts. Our process includes meticulous planning for
first impressions, managing showings, and gathering feedback. When an offer is received, we apply negotiation strategies to position you for success. From contract to closing, our established transaction management processes ensure every detail is handled smoothly, managing the many variables involved.
GETTING STARTED
GOALS
We believe in fostering open communication to ensure a positive real estate experience.
» What drives your decision to sell your home?
» What motivates you to take action now?
» How crucial is the timing of the sale?
» Are you considering making improvements to the property before selling?
» What are your expectations of your Realtor?
» What would you change about your previous homeselling experience?
During our consultation, we ask these and other questions to fully understand your unique objectives. It’s important for us to get to know you so we can help you develop a pricing, marketing, and negotiation strategy tailored to your needs.
Whether your goal is to maximize profit, minimize loss, or simply move on to the next chapter in your life, our mission is to sell your property for the best possible price. Once we understand your priorities, we’ll create a customized marketing plan and targeted advertising campaign to achieve your goals.
PRICING
When advising you on your pricing strategy, we take into account various factors, including:
» Inventory Levels
» Neighborhood Analysis
» Price Trends
» Negotiation Ranges
» Economic Influences on Pricing
» Days on Market
Leveraging decades of experience in your community, we use tools such as MLS data and proprietary market reports to provide a comprehensive view of regional, local, and neighborhood trends. We go beyond the traditional comparative market analysis (CMA) to thoroughly understand the dynamics of the Hilton Head-Bluffton real estate market, ensuring we offer you the most informed advice possible.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
When you decide to sell your property, it transitions from being your ‘home’ to a marketable ‘house’ - a commodity in the real estate market. The way it’s presented to potential buyers, both online and in person, is crucial.
Our goal is to ensure your property looks its absolute best, standing out and shining above the competition. Before we bring in professional photographers or list your property, we’ll walk through it with you, offering suggestions on repairs, updates, and enhancements. This will help you achieve top dollar for your property. Remember, you only get one chance to make a great first impression, and we’re here to help you make sure your property is ready to impress from day one.
PREVIEW YOUR PROPERTY
We will create a detailed property description to ensure the production of the most effective brochures possible. As we walk through your home, we’ll take notes on each room, capturing details about finishes and features, as well as any specific insights or comments you want us to know.
OFFER SUGGESTIONS
Sometimes just a few small changes make a big impact. We will give you advice on how to prepare your home to present it in the best condition to obtain maximum sales results.
Communication is often where many REALTORS® fall short. In surveys by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), the top complaint from sellers is a lack of communication from their agents. We are committed to being proactive in marketing your property and ensuring you’re kept informed every step of the way during the listing process.
DURING THE LISTING PROCESS
» Feedback from Showings: We gather feedback from agents who show your property, providing valuable insights and suggestions from both agents and potential buyers. These comments help refine our marketing and pricing strategies.
» Realtor Tour: This tour is crucial for showcasing your property. It allows real estate agents to personally view your property and share its attributes with potential buyers. We also receive valuable feedback from these agents regarding pricing and other considerations.
» Regular Updates: Keeping you informed is one of our top priorities. We provide regular updates, including a summary of showing feedback and market trends, such as price adjustments and sales of similar properties in your area. These updates are essential to keeping you informed and ensuring our strategies are on track.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
“We are so happy that we selected Shelley & Gary to sell our home. We have been married 50 years & over that period of time we have purchased & sold 17 homes. The process of buying & selling real estate is very familiar to us and it is without hesitation, that we can say that Gary & Shelley are the best, most professional & experienced agents we have ever met. When anyone was in our home, they were always in attendance to answer any questions & assure that showings & inspections were concluded with optimum results. They facilitated the process of moving far beyond what one should expect from real estate agents. We hired Team Elliott based on a recommendation from a neighbor & friend & we are so glad that we did.

I cannot say enough good things about our real estate team Shelley and Gary Elliott at Charter One Realty. From our first contact with them, their professionalism and competence were fully on display. They possess great knowledge of not only the general area and our particular neighborhood but also the pulse of trends in both new and established homes. I found them to be great listeners and communicators while providing guidance and feedback throughout the entire selling process. They were always prompt in returning calls and prepared to answer any questions that came up - always seeming to be one step ahead. I can truly say that this real-estate process with them has been the best I have ever experienced - a great team to have on your side!

BuyerTESTIMONIALS
““We recently relocated from MA to Sun City SC and were lucky enough to have found Gary and Shelley Elliott to represent us as our Realtors. Their knowledge of the Bluffton/Hilton Head area was invaluable in helping us navigate the move. In addition to their help with the transaction process of purchasing a home, they would give us weekly video updates of the progress of the construction of our home (even when it was muddy and wet). They were available whenever we needed them and always responded promptly. They also recommended local vendors for furniture, appliances, insurance, and whatever we needed. When we needed a short term rental, they helped us find that as well. We truly appreciate their effort and time to make this major move easy and enjoyable. We no longer consider them our Realtors, we consider them friends! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Lowcountry.”
- Denise & Kevin | Sun City
““There is not much more I could say about Gary and Shelley that their other clients haven’t already said, but our home buying experience with them was beyond superb. With their expertise in the area and thoughtful advice, they helped us purchase our brand-new dream home that my family can enjoy for years to come. Not only were they professional and experienced, but they made us feel as if we were their only clients. Answering any questions we had in a timely manner, referring us to other services we would need during our buying process and beyond, and being just as genuinely excited as we were during the whole event. Whether you are buying or selling a home and looking for a pleasurable experience, you cannot go wrong with Team Elliott. Thank you, Gary and Shelley, for helping us making this dream come true!”
- Christina & Jazmine | Ridgeland
““Shelley & Gary are top-notch! We worked with them from 700 miles away for nearly 2 years as our relocation plans came together and we couldn’t be happier! They listened to our future vision, took the ball and ran with it. They helped us zero in on exactly what our wants and needs were -- from the desired neighborhood to the specifics on the interior of the home. Even as all of those wants and needs evolved, they rolled with the punches and never gave up until they found the PERFECT home for us. We could not be happier with our new home and our decision to work with Shelley and Gary!”
- Lori & Kyle | Hampton Lake
“Shelley and Gary helped us find our dream home to retire to in South Carolina! Shelley assessed our interests and presented us with a number of options in the Hilton Head area. Once we decided to pursue building our new home in Sun City Hilton Head, Shelley guided us through the selection of our lot, model home and even accompanied us at the design meeting. Once ground broke on our new property Shelley and Gary kept us up to date on progress by sending us weekly walk-through videos. (This was very important to us as we live 700 miles away in Pennsylvania.) In addition, they made recommendations to us on building inspectors, banks, insurance, etc. If you have a need they have an answer. It has been like teaming up with your best friends in making one of the most important decisions in life!”
- Kelli & Glynn | Sun City
SellerTESTIMONIALS
““We just can’t say enough good things about Shelley and Gary. They are by far the best Realtors we’ve ever dealt with. They took care of every detail involved in the sale of our house no matter how small, and they went above and beyond in so many ways. They were always available – if we had a question we sent them a text and always got a quick response. They were thoroughly professional but also unfailingly courteous and friendly. From the beginning of the process to a successful closing, they were always in our corner. If we could give them more than five stars we would. We almost never write online reviews but wanted to post this one because Shelley and Gary are so exceptional.”
- Bill & Sandra | Sun City
““Steve and I are so happy that we selected Shelley and Gary to sell our home in Rose Dhu Creek Plantation. We have been married 50 years and over that period of time we have purchased and sold 17 homes. The process of buying and selling real estate is very familiar to us and it is without hesitation, that we can say that Gary and Shelley are the best, most professional and experienced agents we have ever met. When anyone was in our home, they were always in attendance to answer any questions and assure that showings and inspections were concluded with optimum results. They facilitated the process of moving far beyond what one should expect from real estate agents. We hired Shelley and Gary based on a recommendation from a neighbor and friend and so glad that we did.”
- Joan & Steve | Luxury Listing
““The BEST agents we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with were Gary & Shelley Elliott with Charter One Realty. They made the whole process from start to finish a pleasurable and easy experience. Their understanding of the market was invaluable, and they had our house sold in under a week. Their attention to detail was impressive when first listing our home. I was blown away with all the advertising and marketing that went out the day after we decided to sell our home. I have never met a Realtor that helped you with the packing, the organizing, the cleaning, the moving of your home. What an incredible team they are! They go above and beyond to help you in every way possible. Thank you, Gary and Shelley, for your amazing work and helping make our move much less stressful. You guys are the best and we will always sing your praises.”
- John & Suzanne | Ridgeland
“From the minute I interviewed Shelley and Gary, I knew I wanted them to be the agents to sell my condominium. Their sincere enthusiasm and willingness to help me in any way is why they are truly a five-star team. They were available from start to finish to help with all the details. Becoming my dear friends was a very unexpected blessing, but certainly added to the wonderful experience I had with Charter One and the Elliotts selling my home.”
- Dinny | Bluffton
“The Elliotts are quite the team!!! They work extremely well together and never leave a stone unturned. After selling several homes over 50 years, they, without a doubt, provided the best service of any Realtor I have previously used. I would not hesitate to call on them again myself or to recommend them to others.”
- Beverly | Luxury Listing
REAL ESTATE
reimagined
From the beginning, Team Elliott recognized the limitations of the traditional real estate model, where a single agent attempts to manage every aspect of the process for each client. This “general practitioner” approach often leads to limited service. In contrast, our Husband & Wife team structure puts you, the client, at the heart of everything we do, with specialists dedicated to each stage of your real estate journey.
Unlike other agents, we have a team of experts who handle specific tasks to ensure a more efficient and personalized experience. Each team member focuses on a particular phase, allowing your property to move smoothly from listing to closing. We are committed to exceeding your expectations with exceptional service, expert advice, skillful negotiations, and a seamless closing process.
TEAM BEHIND THE TEAM
We’ve cultivated an environment where top-tier real estate professionals, management, and support staff - each among the best in the industry - come together with a shared commitment to meeting and exceeding our clients’ expectations. By fostering a team of likeminded individuals, we ensure that every client receives the highest level of care and expertise.
In addition to our team of Realtors, we have a team of industry specialists supporting us each step of the way.
Our unique support structure features a specialized threecoordinator system, comprised of listing, marketing, and closing experts. Each specialist focuses on specific aspects of every transaction, ensuring clear communication and a seamless experience from start to finish. This streamlined approach allows our agents to dedicate more time to finding the right buyers for your property while ensuring that every detail is expertly managed behind the scenes.
