My wife and I just purchased a home in The Crescent community of Bluffton thanks to the wonderful…read moreservice of Mary Williams. We were introduced to Mary through a friend whom Mary helped many years ago. In addition, she helped one of my other friends purchase a condo on Hilton Head Island. Our journey with Mary started several years ago on a vacation trip to Hilton Head. She spent hours taking us to the many different gated and non gated communities of Bluffton. She offered wonderful insight regarding the pluses and minuses of the area and community (mostly pluses). She never pushed an agenda and was extremely patient. I told her back then that it wasn't a matter of "if", just a matter of "when". Well, it looked like the when was now. Mary and Ron kept us on their list of Crescent homes being listed and we liked one of them and scheduled a trip to HHI. She took us to that particular home and we soon realized, this wasn't the one for us. Mary backed us up by showing us 4 other homes in the community. The second one was the winner. We absolutely fell in love with it and soon after, put in a bid. Mary guided us along the way with great advice and helped us steady the course of making through closing. The "little things" that Mary does are invaluable such as attend our house inspection when we couldn't be there, be at our house during a replacement window installation, and help us get set up with utilities. She also recommended handymen and contractors. It's those little things that help set Mary apart from your standard realtor.

In the end, ForeShore has NO INTENTION of giving your deposit back. They expect you to repaint every wall if you hang a picture. They also charge you for bulbs out on the microwave, which weren't out that we knew of before we moved out. They also make you pay for a full carpet cleaning which costs 500-600.00 and only their approved cleaning company to deep clean your house which also costs between 500-600. So, they get their money from your deposit and charge ridiculous amounts so you don't get it back. We paid $2795.00 and we were sent a check for $10.00. This rental company is out to make as much money as they can, and screw the renters. Please make sure to read every fine print on your lease. They do NOT CARE about anyone but their growth in revenue. Beware. And the outside "realtor" people are extremely rude and condescending. I am a 48 year old professional and have NEVER not received more than 2/3 of my deposit. So, just know that your deposit is not refundable when it comes to this money hungry company. They have a monopoly in Bluffton b/c of the demand there. Good for them. They messed with our livelihood and took our hard-earned money b/c they suck!

From the first meeting until closing, it was evident that his experience, negotiation skills, scope of knowledge, attention to detail and responsiveness is on an exceptional level. We were very impressed with his analysis and approach to the marketing and sale of our home. At every opportunity he optimized exposure featuring it in the premium real estate portals. With very short notice he put together a top notch presentation packet for potential buyers to pick up when touring the home, including detailed floor plans and measurements. We appreciated his follow up and communication with other realtors throughout the process. Thomas' scope of knowledge with regard to building and renovation are not impressive, but were of key impact when interacting with our buyer who was looking to renovate and expand areas of the home. His level of service and knowledge, provided to both buyer and seller, are incomparable. We are very grateful to have been represented by Thomas and look forward to working with him in the future when we purchase another home. If you want total peace of mind in your real estate transaction, look no further than working with Thomas M. Kersey!

He was always accessible, answered our never-ending questions, and it was evident that he had our best interests in mind.

Robert is an absolute professional who communicates clearly and is there every step of the way. We…read morereceived orders to Beaufort and reached out to Robert based on a friend's recommendation. He exceeded every expectation from day one. At the time, we were living in Virginia and had only visited the Beaufort/Bluffton area a few times. We shared our priorities with Robert, and he immediately provided valuable insights, recommendations, and resources based on his extensive knowledge of the area. When it came time to tour homes, we had a very limited window to travel. Robert quickly scheduled showings for all the homes we wanted to see and was incredibly flexible with our schedule. After driving down and touring our initial selections, we realized that while they were nice homes, none of them felt quite right. Fortunately, Robert had another property in mind that had just come on the market that day. The moment we walked through the front door, we knew it was the one. Not only did it meet our expectations, but it exceeded them by including several features and amenities we had hoped for but didn't expect to find right away. Having spent the last 17 years renting/living in military housing, we were new to the home-buying process. Robert took the time to explain every step and helped us understand what to expect. We submitted an offer that afternoon and which was excepted within an hour. We were also comparing multiple mortgage lenders to find the best option. Robert recommended a local lender, and although we were initially hesitant because we were unfamiliar with the company, his recommendation proved invaluable. The lender not only beat every competing offer but also handled the process efficiently and professionally without the high pressure tactics we experienced elsewhere. Throughout the entire process, Robert was responsive, knowledgeable, and always quick to answer our questions. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance and expertise. We highly recommend Robert and his team to anyone looking to buy a home in the area, and have recommend them to our family.

The lease states I can have two parking spots. When I got home from work the other night, my second car was gone. Turns out the property manager, Michaela Rizzo, made the call to have my car towed without giving me any notice. The car is registered to my apartment and parked legally. She said it was "deemed inoperable" because of a flat tire. Emerson Isles is unable to provide pictures of a note they say they put on the car warning me of a tow. I look at the car every day, and never saw said note. Instead of taking two minutes to call me, email me or post a sign on my door, they decided to take the lazy way out and just tow it. I am extremely disappointed for the lack of transparency they have shown and general lack of interest in the problem they have caused for me. I'm told I will not be able to speak to a manager for at least another week as she is "working from another office". I will be ending my lease and moving out in January. I do not recommend leasing from Emerson Isles or dealing with them. I still can not even find out where my car is and this will cost me a lot of money. I am getting my attorney involved.
