Michael and CC were wonderful to work with! Their knowledge of the Frederica community made it easy to navigate both buying and selling lots! Their attention to detail and hard work made the transactions quick and painless. I would highly recommend using the Situs team for any of your real estate needs. ”
Charles & Tish
When we decided to sell our home, we chose Situs Realty. CC Hightower was more than helpful. She guided us through this process with professional and personal advice. She is very enthusiastic about her work and is also a lovely and caring person as well. ”
Gary & Janis
When we decided to purchase a home on Saint Simons Island, we sought CC to help us find the right place. She is a friend of ours and has previously worked with several of our friends and other members of our family. We found her to be a true professional. She kept us updated daily on new listings as they came on the market. She promptly arranged a showing on places that we might be interested in. She was very knowledgeable and thorough with information about the properties and procedures involving offers, contracts, and due diligence deadlines. We have been more than pleased after working with her. She is the best of the best and we will recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home on Saint Simons Island. ”

Michael and the entire Situs team were great through our new home buying and construction process. We’d vacationed in the area for years, so knew Frederica and Saint Simons Island fairly well as occasional visitors, but we didn’t know it as homeowners. They know the area incredibly well. They are responsive, organized and did so many common-sense things that others somehow miss. Because ours was a to-be built home and a second home for us, the process was long and mostly remote; having them onsite helping to shepherd the project and purchase all the way through was a huge value. It’d be really tough to find a team better suited to help you with your home needs on Saint Simons Island. ”

Working with Michael and CC at Situs Real Estate was a true pleasure during our purchase of a Frederica Marsh Cottage. Their attention to detail and responsiveness made the entire development and purchase process smooth and enjoyable. Their deep knowledge of the property and commitment to client service really stood out. We're thrilled with our new cottage and the seamless experience they provided. ”

I've worked with a lot of real estate agents over the years and I would put Elizabeth McLaughlin at the top of the list. Of her many strengths, I would say that her enthusiasm in finding the right home for us was always front and center. She made the process fun! Her local knowledge, honesty, and tenacious follow through on even the smallest details were amazing as well. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing solid guidance through the real estate process. ”
Todd
Michael and his team went above and beyond expectations during the purchase of our lot and during our home building process. As an out of state buyer, Michael kept us to date with regular emails, phone calls, and progress photos. The recommendations of contacts on St. Simons and Brunswick were more than helpful with furniture, subcontractors and builders. He was honest, organized, and knowledgeable of the St. Simons market and building trends on the island. I would use Michael and CC again without reservation. ”
Craig and Kristen
Elizabeth was the perfect agent for us. She really listened to our needs and wants. She let that guide her throughout the entire process. We are now in the perfect home for us. Her support does not stop at the sale. She has continued to be available if we have any questions about the area. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an energetic, hardworking agent who will make buying your property as easy as possible. ”
Allison
I had the pleasure of working with CC Hightower from Situs Real Estate when selling and purchasing my homes in 2024, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the moment we began the process, CC was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me sell my current home and find the perfect home. CC truly went above and beyond to make me feel supported and confident throughout the home-buying process. It’s clear that she’s passionate about what she does and deeply committed to her clients. Thanks to CC, I am now settled in my dream home, and I couldn’t be happier! ”

Elizabeth was excellent! She was very personable, attentive and knowledgeable about all the homes we toured. She made the time to get the right home for us to buy. This process was fantastic, and my journey of over two years trying to find the proper house came after only a couple months with Elizabeth- and I realize I was a client who didn't really know what they wanted- but Elizabeth helped through all areas of the process- until we found the fantastic home that we purchased! I have already recommended Elizabeth to other friends of mine- and will continue to do so! ”
Jeff
It was a pleasure to work with Elizabeth McLauchlin as our real estate agent. She walked us through the steps that led us to securing the home of our dreams. She was very conscientious, very professional, very sincere, and extremely trustworthy. She made us feel that she truly wanted to help us find the home we desired. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to others for her "above and beyond" approach. Thank you Elizabeth for your exceptional efforts. ”
Dirk & Jean
CC is the Golden Isles real estate expert! Not only did she help us sell our home, she then helped us turn around and find our dream home. She went above and beyond to guide us through the whole process and had an amazing pulse on the market in this area. We’ve recommended her to all our family and friends and will continue to do so in the future! ”
Brett & Molly
The Situs team was terrific throughout the buying / building process. Michael made us feel like we were his most important client. He was always quick to get back to us and offered ideas and insights that were invaluable. We also appreciated that he stayed engaged post-close as we navigated through the typical new construction punch lists. We recommend this team to anyone looking for a home on the island! ”
Bill
I am a retired Real Estate broker who relocated to St. Simons Island and CC Hightower with Situs helped sell my house at the end of 2022 and purchase my next home. She did a fabulous job marketing the house with amazing pictures and a wonderful open house. The process was absolutely seamless, and she went above and beyond to get me the best price for my home followed by skillful negotiations on my next purchase. Being from the industry, I have come across many Realtors and none have impressed me more than CC and her broker, Michael. I will only use them from now on and refer them to all my family and friends. ”
Candace
While navigating the SSI market as out-of-town buyers, we relied on CC to be our local representative in what was a highly competitive market environment. From prospecting numerous houses on our behalf, CC went above and beyond to give us objective feedback (in addition to providing detailed walk-through videos). When our perfect home came on the market, CC was the first in the door to view the property, and ultimately, helped us put in a competitive offer. To seal the deal, she turned around a counteroffer to the seller at MIDNIGHT on a Sunday! We were under contract before other buyers even had a chance to tour the home. ”
Jenna & Tillman
The entire Situs team has been wonderful to work with! Everyone made our experience truly easy to navigate, something only a very organized team with an emphasis on their clients' experience can achieve. Our project from start to finish moved so efficiently, as they were always there to guide us through every step of the process. We would highly recommend Situs for any of your real estate needs. ”
Dave & Meg
Elizabeth is outstanding. We relocated to the Georgia coast from Cleveland, Ohio. We were looking for someone to help us explore and see if area would fit our lifestyle. She was excellent at showing us all possibilities. After we found a home, Elizabeth helped us through two negotiations to finally have our dream home. She made this experience so fun and positive! ”
