If I Were a Seller in Today’s Market—Here’s Exactly What I’d Do

If I Were a Seller in Today’s Market—The 5 Steps to Sell Your Home Faster & Smarter in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island

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

Selling a home today is both an art and a strategy. If I were a seller in this market, I’d approach it with precision—a smart balance of pricing, presentation, promotion, and adaptability. Here’s how I’d do it:

1. Price It Right from Day One

Overpricing is one of the biggest mistakes a seller can make. Instead of “testing the market,” I’d study comparable sales from the past 60–90 days and price competitively from the start. A well-priced home creates urgency and often sparks multiple offers.

2. Focus on Presentation & Curb Appeal

Moss Creek Real Estate: How Allison Cobb Helped a Buyer Find Her Perfect Marsh View Home

Finding the Perfect Marsh View Home in Moss Creek: A Buyer Story with Allison Cobb

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

Sometimes in real estate — and in life — we find exactly what we thought we wanted… only to realize it wasn’t quite right after all.

One of my favorite Moss Creek buyer stories is the perfect example.

Suddenly, she wanted a little more space (and, she admitted with a laugh, a bigger closet). Was it the closet or her new love? We may never know.

Real estate is a lot like any other profession — there are those who operate at surface level and those who dive deep into the craft. In today’s market, it’s the difference between a “speed agent” and a skills-based professional.

A speed agent thrives in a hot, easy market where homes sell themselves. They move quickly, take orders, and often chase the “next deal” rather than mastering the one in front of them. In a frenzied market, almost anyone can get away with this approach. Homes list on a Friday, sell on Saturday, and close without much negotiation finesse.
