Dori RichardWe happened to mention to a friend that we were interested in buying a house on Hilton Head and they said they had a friend who was a realtor on the Island. That referral led us to Dori and ultimately to our new home. Dori took the time to get to know us and our likes, dislikes and tastes. She was always available to answer questions and would get back to us with answers immediately. The homes that we visited were so well chosen that it took only three to find exactly what we were looking for. Additionally, she went beyond what would normally be expected of a realtor and found us someone to install new tile floors immediately after we closed. We always felt that we were her only client, which is the highest praise I can think to give someone involved in servicing clients. We would recommend Dori to anyone without reservation.- Sheryl and Sandy KaufmanRockaway, NJDori,To have the opportunity to return to the island to live had been my goal for over 17 years. My ability to reach that goal was assisted in large part by your dedication and hard work to find just the perfect home for me. Over the 8 months that we spent viewing the many and varied properties and fine tuning our seach I always felt optimistic. Your ability to provide me with information not just on the properties but other areas that could potentially impact my happiness with the decision at hand was priceless. For example, ease of getting to the airport due to work travel obligations or restrictions in certain gated communities, your knowledge and professionalism shined through. From start to finish on this dream journey you understood the aspects that would cause anxiety ahead of time and were prepared to offer guidance to keep the anxiety at a minimum. You have shown a level of integrity in this profession that sets you apart and was greatly appreciated. I would always recommend anyone with any interest in property in the area to contact you for assistance.Kind regards,- Tracey

I had the pleasure of working with Robert (Bluffton Bob) Gladys on a recent purchase of a condominium on Hilton Head Island. His advice was invaluable and he left no stone unturned searching for the right property. When I zeroed in on several candidates for purchase Robert helped us to find just the right one. He was relentless with his follow up on getting answers to my questions. He offered valuable advice as the transaction developed. It was a pleasure to work with him and recommend Robert and Southern Lifestyle Properties to anyone selling or buying in the Hilton Head/Bluffton area.

If it could be no stars, that is what I would select. I would not recommend Dan Ekus or this company for any of your real estate needs. I made an effort to privately resolve my concerns with both the agent and the President of this company and received no follow through, acknowledgment of my concerns/apology, or resolve. There are plenty of agents and agencies in and around Hilton Head - SKIP THIS ONE!

Ann EkusWe used Ann Ekus as our realtor when buying a home in Sun City. For a few weeks, she sent me listings of homes for sale in our price range. When we were actually ready to drive to Sun City to look at houses, she had eight scheduled for us to look at--eight that I had narrowed down from approximately twenty. While we were inside the houses, she pointed out some positives in the houses and also some negatives. We really appreciated her expertise. We ended up buying the first house we looked at. Within a couple of hours, we made an offer and just as quickly, our offer was accepted! It was a very enjoyable experience working with her.Barbara & Doug PattersonLet me take this opportunity to say what a great pleasure it has been working with you on the purchase of our home here in Sun City. It was a long road. Over several of our visits to town you were always ready to show us whatever we wanted to see, and flexible enough to accommodate our schedules. We saw many houses, your advice was invaluable, and when we finally hit the right one, you continued to stay right on top of every detail, even being there on our behalf when we need work to be evaluated in the house. We cant thank you enough for everything we will recommend you at any opportunity, and hope to be seeing you around town. You and Dan are welcome any time at our place.All the best,Chris & Pat SanninoOur home is already rented for 2 weeks! We are getting a great rate too. Thanks for your help in the buying of our home.LisaAnn – Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate doing business with you. From the beginning of my home search you were attentive to my desires in a home in SC that suited my needs/budget. You initially gathered information about my wish list in a home and spent a lot of time showing me many homes with my desires in mind. I appreciated the fact that you didn’t push me to consider a home if I expressed any dislike. You were honest and did not sugar coat anything. Once I found a home in Suncity you worked very hard to ensure I got a fair price for my purchase and stood your ground on the negotiations with the builder which was all in my favor. You continued to assist in the home purchase process including providing contacts for home inspector, and were attentive during the home inspection. Subsequent to the home inspection you worked diligently again and aided in several items getting repaired that may not have been otherwise if not for your assistance. Since I was traveling for work and not available for the walk through of the home before closing you and your husband conducted the walk through with my brother in law on my behalf and did so as if it were you own home. Subsequent to my purchase you began assisting my parents in the search of a home for them which continues to date. Again you have been nothing but attentive, responsive and very helpful. You have shared information without hesitation and have contributed to making the sale of there home in NJ and making a move to SC a little easier for them. They are looking forward to meeting with you during the week of July 10th to find their home in SC as well.Thanks so much for all your hard work, your pleasant personality, responsiveness to requests, and honesty. You are a great person and excellent realtor!Patti ElichDid you receive my earlier email thanking you for your kindness and professional help? I wanted to make sure you know how appreciative I was, and am!Jerry YoungAnn Ekus was a excellent realtor for us when we bought our current home in Sun City. She sent us profiles of homes that we might like before we even came to the area. Then when we got here, she had a number of homes set up for us to view and was very accommodating with our requests. We would highly recommend her.Vern & Lenna Hundt
