Carol Rutgers

I've often heard that real estate agents have to wear many hats. Well, for the recent sale of my mother's house in South Carolina, Carol Rutgers proved the truth of this phrase by wearing them all. This was a very difficult sale for my mother due to the passing of her husband of 61 years. But because of Carol's business acumen, personal guidance, support, and genuine care, my mother sold her home for a great price and the process went smoothly. Her business acumen is firmly established, but I would like to share a couple of things that illustrate Carol's commitment to her clients. For example, because my mother was unable to be at the house for extended periods of time Carol went above and beyond in keeping the house in perfect condition so it was always ready to be shown to prospective buyers. Not just clean, but maintained. If Carol noticed anything that required repairs or maintenance she was quick to schedule and meet workers, and make sure that the work was fully completed. Another example of her commitment to her clients occurred when our original movers informed us that they were no longer capable of moving my mother's possessions less than 48 hours before the scheduled move. Carol worked her magic, used her abundant resources, and found a reputable mover that completed the move so that the closing happened on schedule. Such dedication is rare and something we have not seen in past real estate transactions. It is clear that Carol cares for the clients she represents and not just the sale of the property. There are many more examples of Carol's dedication, but I am limited by the number of characters in this review. We would finally like to point out that Carol has an uncanny ability to deal with stressful situations in an incredibly diplomatic way and always left us feeling seen, heard, understood and satisfied. We can never thank Carol enough for what she has done to help our family.

I am writing to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional job Carol did in completing and selling our property in Bluffton. From our first contact to the end of the project, she demonstrated professionalism, market knowledge, and a genuine care for our goals, including much good humor. The photo's of the house she arranged were first class. We were especially impressed by her guidance throughout the entire process, including preparing the home, a listing strategy and all attendant negotiations, etc. Her communication was timely and clear, and she consistently helped us feel confident at each step. Thanks to her expertise and hard work, we achieved a successful sale and a result we are truly happy with. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel organized, smooth, and well-managed. We would be happy to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you again for her outstanding service. We truly appreciate everything she did for us.

We're SO thankful we had Carol as our agent. She not only communicated constantly BUT she went above and beyond any other realtor we had used with other homes. She sold our $1,600,000 home in July 2026. A FEW of the things she did: -She was there for every showing to welcome the buyers agents and potential buyers. -She recommended contractors to paint, inspect spray foam, fix wood rot, electrical corrections and others. She also met each contractor at the house. -When the ac wasn't cooling she called our ac company and even met them at the house after hours. -Her marketing efforts were outstanding! From photos, drone pics and even ai mockup photos to the dedicated website. We were impressed. It was obvious that she really cared about each detail. What a blessing she was during such a stressful time. Thank you Carol!!

Carol Rutgers is by far the best realtor I've ever hired to help me find a new home. Her market knowledge in the Bluffton/Sun City/HHI areas is impressive. She takes time to listen, makes excellent recommendations, and helps make your home buying experience less stressful. Carol is a certified negotiator, a talent that is critical in closing a deal for either a buyer or seller. She is always available to answer questions and offer sound advice.
