Suddenly, grocery carts overflow with bread and milk (why, exactly?), neighbors swap survival tips like we’re preparing for a polar vortex, and garden centers sell out of frost blankets overnight. It’s practically tradition. But let’s take a breath and sort out the practical from the overblown.

What to Actually Worry About During a Freeze

  1. Your Plants

    • The Lowcountry’s lush greenery isn’t used to temperatures below 32°F. While hardy plants like camellias, hollies, and palms can handle a little cold, tropical favorites like…

Selling your home is a big decision. It’s not just about putting a sign in the yard and waiting for offers to roll in.

Talking to your parents about downsizing their home can feel like trying to convince a cat to take a bath. Maybe you’ve been putting off the conversation for months (or years). Maybe you lie awake at night worried about Mom falling down those steep porch stairs. Or perhaps you’re haunted by the image of Dad valiantly wrestling the lawn mower in July. Fun times, right?

As a real estate team guiding families through the downsizing adventure in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, The Cobb Group has seen it all: the tears, the tension, the tough conversations, and yes, even the triumphs. Some parents embrace change with open arms, while others dig in their heels harder than a toddler at bedtime. And then there are those complicated family dynamics…

Reflections of a Moss Creek Resident: Life, Community, and the Magic of the Lowcountry

The best insights about a place often come from someone who’s lived it, breathed it, and called it home for years.
