By Allison Cobb | The Cobb Group, brokered by eXp Luxury Realty

You’ve got a great offer on your Hilton Head or Bluffton home. The buyers are thrilled. You’re picturing the finish line. And then it happens—the appraisal comes in low.

Let Them: A Love Letter to Real Estate (and Sanity)

By Allison Cobb | Brokered by eXp Luxury Realty

Real estate is my calling. Full stop. I’ve worn a lot of professional hats in my life—banker, event planner, teacher, catering director, librarian (yes, I even earned a master’s degree in teaching), dog walker (shout out to Pawing Around Town), mom, wife—and somehow, being a Realtor has stitched all of those roles together.

Helping people buy or sell a home might seem straightforward. But those of us in the trenches know better. We're not just unlocking doors and staging flowers—we're navigating emotions, finances, life transitions, dreams, and sometimes chaos… with a smile. If you've ever called your Realtor at 9pm to "just ask one quick…

Some homes have curb appeal. Others have charm.
But every once in a while, a home comes along with a view that simply takes your breath away.

Welcome to 128 Timber Lane, quietly preparing to make its debut in the private, gated community of Moss Creek. This custom Arts & Crafts home offers a backdrop so extraordinary, you might think you’ve wandered into a nature preserve—or a painting. From the moment you walk through the front door, you’re greeted by a long, layered vista that stretches from the tranquil lagoon behind the home to the sweeping green of the 9th South Fairway. It’s a rare and radiant setting: private, peaceful, and absolutely unforgettable.

Bluffton and Hilton Head Island Speak: A Love Letter to the Lowcountry

By Allison Cobb, The Cobb Group | Brokered by eXp Luxury Realty

Dear Wanderer, Visitor, and Soon-to-be Local,
