Love where you live and be passionate about what you do!

Chris LOVES Hilton Head Island…

He has island ties that date back to the 1950s, and the Island became his permanent home over 30 years ago. To this day, Chris remains deeply rooted and invested in Hilton Head Island and the surrounding Lowcountry.

Chris is PASSIONATE about Real Estate…

After graduating from Clemson University with a degree in Management with a Real Estate focus, Chris began his professional career in Hilton Head in the late 1990s as a real estate appraiser, eventually transitioning to his current profession, Real Estate Broker. And with more than 25 years in this business, he continues to have incredible success consulting and selling property in the local market.

Collins Group Realty realizes that strategic thinking and compelling marketing are both paramount in the pursuit of exceptional results in this industry, and so Chris joined the group back in 2014 as the Client Market Advisor, expanding his role into the Strategic Advisor position in 2019. His understanding of the many nuances that impact our real estate market is unmatched, and our clients have found Chris’s strategic thinking on pricing, market positioning, timing, preparation, and presentation to be a tremendous asset.

Chris is passionate about the outdoors too. Before real estate, Chris held a Master Captain’s license, enjoying a few good years introducing the beauty of the local waters to others. Sailing, boating, roasting oysters by the fire, hiking with his dog, hunting, fishing, golfing, and (yes) pickleball are all on his must-do list! But when asked about what matters most, Chris would say that his life is Christ-centered and that his love for his wife, Wendy, and his three boys is immeasurable!

Feel free to give Chris a call, text, or email if you have any questions about our local real estate market, buying/selling strategies, or just want to chat about what makes the South Carolina Lowcountry so special.

"After 10 years, we decided to sell our Hilton Head home, as it became too difficult to travel back-and-forth from Pittsburgh. By luck, we found the Collin’s Group. Chris handled every detail with perfection. We were in Pittsburgh during the whole process. We never had a concern as to what was going on. Chris kept in contact daily. Any concerns were handled quickly and efficiently. The house sold in record time, and for a very good price. I would highly recommend using the Collins group. You will be glad you did."

"I cannot image buying a house in Hilton Head without Collins Group Realty on my side. Chris went the extra mile in every way. I don’t think there is anyone who knows the market better than Chris and the Collins Group. This was our first purchase of an investment property and Chris walked us through every step of the process and took the time to answer our endless questions. At no point did we ever feel pressure to make a panic decision, which is really saying something in this crazy market we are in. We could not be more pleased with our purchase and the process!"

"Since 2010 we have enjoyed the expert guidance and resources of Collins Group Realty and Chris Sanders. With Chris as our Realtor we have bought two homes and a commercial property in Bluffton, including one new home custom build in Rose Dhu Creek Plantation. When life circumstances meant time to sell, we called Chris. Our experience with Chris and CGR can be summed up in a few words…market expertise, integrity, hard work, success, and dependability.”

"CGR’s knowledge of the market and updates on recent sales were very helpful. The feedback and advice during the pre-sales stage gave us a strong comfort level that the house was well-positioned in the current market. I like the full team approach that they offer."

"Chip Collins and Chis Sanders are an amazing realty team that will not disappoint. Selling a home can be extremely stressful. In our case, we were selling it from another state. From the many reviews we read prior to choosing the Collins Group to represent us, we knew they were highly respected and trusted by many in the area, and for good reason. From the excellent listing presentation, combined extensive knowledge, timely communication, and effortless paperwork- we could not have been in better hands. We were treated with respect, honesty, professionalism, and kindness throughout our transaction. Chris made it very easy for us. He promptly returned our phone calls and e-mails. Chris even took the time from his busy day to mail us some coasters that were forgotten in the packing but meant the world to our mother. Very kind and decent of him to do that for us. We cannot thank Chris and the Collins Group for their help in selling our condo enough. We are very grateful for their patience, assistance, and expertise. We would highly recommend this team of professionals to anyone looking to buy or sell."
