Testimonials

"Renee and Ken Vilcheck were the answer to our prayers when it came to selling our house. After almost a year with another Relator we were blown away by their personalized approach to understanding our home and the love and care we put into our upgrades and relayed this to the potential buyers. Throughout the showing process and during the sale they paid attention to our needs and were there for us the entire time. We have sold many homes over the years and the Vilchecks were the best!! Their warmth, kindness, and attention to detail set them apart from all the others. We also found them to be knowledgeable of the local market and the entire process of selling a home. If we sell again they will be our first and only choice!!"
William Ryan (Belfair)

"Our experience with Renee and Ken Vilcheck of Prudhomme was OUTSTANDING. They worked tirelessly looking out for us all along the way. They were always available, even though they had some personal plans. When we had a question, they knew the answer. We?ve sold numerous homes; however NO ONE has been more efficient and concerned about us getting our house sold. By the way our house sold in less than a week with their hard work and experience."
Mike McGrath (Belfair)

"Renee and Ken did a terrific job selling our home . They were there in helping every step of the way . Their professional approach made our lives easier. We highly recommend their team for anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you again Renee and Ken."
Wayne and Dianne Hamerling (Belfair)

"We met Renee and Ken as we were just starting our journey to own a vacation home in South Carolina in 2019. They were professional, they listened to our needs, they showed us properties that we loved, and we were hooked, not only with South Carolina, but with Ken and Renee. They stayed with us on our journey, through COVID, and in June of 2021, we bought our amazing home in the Belfair community of Bluffton, SC. They took time to show us around, they got to know us, and we now not only consider them our Realtors, but they are our friends. We have bought and sold many properties over the years, but there is no one, hands-down, that made us feel so at-ease. They are true real-estate professionals who just know not only how to bring a purchase to closure, but to do so in the most professional way. I am recommending them to all my friends from the Northeast who need to get out of the frozen tundra in the winter. THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST."
Tim Dunn (Belfair)

"Renee and Ken are very courteous professionals who gave us five star service when purchasing our South Carolina home. They were able to help us remotely with many things ( we are moving from another state). They handled everything in a very timely manor. They gave us a tour of the property on facetime and handled repairs for us in person. They even connected us with a decorator and got her into the home to set up furnishings for us....and the list goes on! They went above and beyond! What an awesome team!"

Renee and Ken Vilcheck- EXCEPTIONAL Real Estate Professionals We were fortunate to find Renee and Ken online while looking to sell our home and buy a new one. Renee and Ken have been active in the Low Country real estate market for several years and their experience was obvious from the start. Their no pressure sales approach made our search stress free. They identified several homes that fit our needs and provided pros and cons of each. They worked diligently to find a buyer for our home and were available day and night to show us houses or to take calls from us. Both Renee and Ken are personable, honest and know the real estate market well as well as various communities. They are dedicated and their backgrounds in business and real estate construction make them a fantastic team! They are proactive and know how to navigate deals successfully. Their ability to identify potential problems and address them accordingly sets them apart from others. They found a buyer for our old house and found the perfect house for us. We highly recommend them. Thank you Renee and Ken for all your help and guidance. We are proud to call you our friends!"
Joanie and Jeff Rowe

"We had a fantastic experience working with Ken and Rene as Buyers agents - from the first property we toured through closing on our new home and after. They knew the Hilton Head area market inside and out, and were professional, knowledgeable, punctual and served as our trusted advisors and advocates throughout the process. We highly recommend them!"
John Hands

"Ken and Renee were absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about buying a house by myself but they helped me through every step of the way. They made me feel so cared for! I would definitely recommend them!"
Jenay Baughman

"Amazing experience working with Ken and Renee! They were engaged and helpful from first contact. They are proactive but not pushy. They are very knowledgeable about the island and the various communities. I was set up right away to receive listings and was able to modify my criteria as my needs became more specific. Ken and Renee brought me options as soon as they hit the market allowing me to evaluate and make an offer within hours. They toured properties with me and on my behalf when I was not on the island. They also connected me with various services that I would need throughout the process. They guided and advised me during offer and closing, answering questions and providing information when needed. From initial contact to closing, I found my island escape in less than 10 weeks. Ken and Renee are awesome to work with and they made me feel like I was their only client. Great team. I look forward to working with them again!"
Linda Butt

"If you are searching for a real estate agent look no more!!! We just had the best experience with Ken and Renee Vilcheck!!! I couldn?t recommend them enough. They both went above and beyond to help us obtain our dream home!"
Brittany Stilwell

"Ken and Renee Vilcheck are the most incredible people. They are kind, trustworthy, and have gone above and beyond for me throughout the entire home buying process. As a first-time home buyer moving to a new state, they have supported me every step of the way. They took the time to show me around Bluffton and are so knowledgeable about the area. Even three months after my closing they still offer to help in any way they can. They have exceeded my expectations and I feel so blessed that my realtors have become like family."
Taylor May

"My husband and I decided it was time to leave the snow and follow our dreams to move to palm trees and the beach. We needed to come down and visit to ensure we were making the best decision before the move, Renee and Ken spent an entire afternoon with us un March 2021 showing us around Bluffton, SC - showing different neighborhoods, Old Town, going into a few show houses in a neighborhood we said we liked. We were still months from being able to move down, but they took the time with us to really understand what our tastes were. Fast Forward to July 2021 and we moved down to the area and started our house hunt with Renee and Ken. Many weekends spent finding the right house for us and talking us through the whole process (we're first-time home buyers and were expecting our first baby in early 2022, so the pressure was on!). We finally found our dream home in the perfect neighborhood. They truly understood what we were looking for and treated us like family in a brand-new area. Renee and Ken are the true definition on Southern Hospitality and absolutely brilliant at what they do! We've been happy to refer them to as many people as possible and know anyone will be in good hands with their expertise."
Kelly Merrill

"This team of Ken and Renee are by far the best realtors to work with. They go far and beyond the call of duty to help the client like ourselves. They work hard to find the best fit of a home you are looking for and work within the budget. Ken & Renee helped us find a great small home in Beaufort SC. We love it and know we will enjoy this home for many years. Thank you Ken and Renee."
Steve King

Renee and Ken are absolutely wonderful. Being out of state and purchasing a home was a very nerve-racking situation but Renee and Ken put us at ease from the very beginning. They went above and beyond to help us put in an offer with less than 24 hours notice before the deadline. They are incredibly knowledgeable of the area/well connected and gave excellent advice all around from beginning to end. Most importantly, they are kind and caring individuals that are willing to help in any way possible. They went above and beyond to help connect us to other local professionals and even helped us purchase items for the home. I could go on and on speaking about how wonderful the Vilcheck Group is and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. It is a huge risk going with real estate agents you have never met in person but we would not change a thing, they were the best! Thank you both again. We love the home and cant wait to meet you in person!"

Kathryn Mahoney

Selling our house FSBO (For Sale By Owner) I was a little nervous, but I thought I would put the house up on the market for a week or so and see what happens. Ken called me Sunday morning, three days after being listed, and said, "We have a full-price offer for you." Renee and Ken were absolutely the best realtors to work with. Not only were they professional but extremely helpful to me and guided me through the FSBO process. If I had questions, they would answer any questions immediately. I cannot say enough about how highly I would recommend Renee and Ken for any of your real estate needs. They are genuinely kind and caring people.

Theresa Campbell

"We met Ken and Rene in February of last year while we were looking for our new home in Bluffton. They listened to what we were looking for, educated us on the market and went to work making sure we saw everything on our wishlist. We saw dozens of homes, some more than once and they guided our process to making our final selection. A year letter we are just as happy as the day we bought our new home. We found the right home and negotiated the right deal. Could not be happier."
Larry Hinsdale

"Ken and Renee are the consummate professionals. Their attention to detail and knowledge of the area were spot on! In addition, Team Vilcheck listens and cares deeply about improving the lives of their clients. We couldn?t be more happy with the purchase we made and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect property."
Tom Shreve

"Ken and Renee were there for every step of the way and we could not have asked for better partners when buying and selling a home. We used them as both a buyers agent and a listing agent. They listened, they cared and they saw things that we may have not seen. They knew the market, understood it and help us navigate through the process on both ends from selling to buying and everything in between. More than finding us a home, they found us a home that was meant for us. Not just a house but they took into consideration what our needs were. Not just what we wanted but our NEEDS. As we all know, we forget our needs sometimes for our wants and they are not always the same thing. Renee and Ken steered us back when we needed it. I would use them over and over again."
Michele Kay

"We were moving from Anderson, SC to the Hilton Head Island SC area, so we were doing our home search long distance and only able to do the 5 hour drive at most every other week to look at homes that Ken & Renee found for us. We found a FSBO home online and asked them to contact the seller with an offer subject to our seeing the home. They went and looked at the home and reported back to us that it was a home we would be happy with. The offer was accepted. They were a phone call away when we had questions regarding the sale of our home as our agent was not responsive to our questions. Besides being good real estate agents they are also great people."
Dom and Carol Nardi

As an investor out of state, working with the Vilcheck group was effortless. Any issues or concerns with the property we?re immediately taken care of. Their market knowledge of the Bluffton/Hilton head area is top notch. They helped me lock down the property that meet my investment needs while not being overbearing, like most realtors who are just looking for their next commission check. Will and would do business with them again."


Derek Cohen

"Renee and Ken made our purchase of a vacation home as flawless as it could be. They have a phenomenal sense of followup, even long after the sale."
Tom Mason

"Renee and Ken are the best realtors we have ever worked with! First and foremost, they are extremely knowledgeable and professional. We were so impressed with how they guided us through the buying process. Since we live out of state, we had to rely on Renee and Ken to represent us in all aspects of purchasing our vacation property. They made the entire transaction as stress free as possible and have earned our complete trust"
