Kismet on Aviation Drive: A Real Estate Story That Was Meant to Be

By The Cobb Group | Brokered by eXp Luxury Realty

Sometimes, the right home doesn’t show up on day one.
Sometimes, it shows up exactly when it’s meant to.

We call it real estate kismet—that perfect alignment of timing, vision, and heart.

Here’s a story that reminds us why we love what we do.

A Year in the Making

Last summer, we met a lovely couple from California who wanted to relocate closer to their son, who works for Gulfstream here in the Lowcountry. They had very different—but equally important—priorities:

  • He’s an aviation enthusiast and once dreamed of building his own plane.

  • She wanted something fresh, modern, and new.

They were…

How Teamwork Drives Success in Bluffton & Hilton Head Real Estate

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

We’ve all heard the saying “teamwork makes the dream work.” In real estate, it’s not just a feel-good slogan—it’s the truth. Behind every successful sale or smooth closing, there’s an entire cast of people working together. Yes, the Realtor–client partnership is the star of the show, but what really makes the magic happen is the teamwork between Realtors, attorneys, inspectors, property managers, lenders, appraisers, and even that roofer who answers your call at 6 p.m. on a Friday.

The Client–Realtor Bond

Let’s start here, because without trust and honesty between client and Realtor, the whole thing falls apart.…

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

When you move to Bluffton, Hilton Head, or the surrounding Lowcountry, the quickest way to be “found out” as a newcomer is by how you pronounce our towns, rivers, and roads. Local names don’t always match how they look on paper—and locals will correct you (nicely, of course).

Here’s your go-to pronunciation guide to sounding like a local from day one.

Lowcountry Pronunciation Cheat Sheet

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.

This scenario happens more than you’d think, even in a competitive market. And in unique communities like Sea Pines, Rose Hill, or Moss Creek, a low appraisal doesn’t always reflect the true market value of your home.

Let’s walk through why low appraisals happen, what you can do about them, and how we help sellers turn the situation around—without losing the sale.

A Sacred Shift: The Summer Solstice in the Lowcountry

June 21st marks the Summer Solstice—the longest day of the year and the official start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. But here in the Lowcountry, it’s more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a time when life stretches out, light lingers longer, and energy rises across Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, and Beaufort.

Whether you're strolling the sandbars at sunrise or watching the sun dip behind the marsh at sunset, the solstice invites you to slow down, soak in the beauty, and maybe even consider where—and how—you want to live.

A Bit of Solstice History

The word solstice comes from the Latin solstitium, meaning “sun stands still.” Ancient civilizations around the world—Egyptian,…
