Pumpkin Patches, Pumpkin Pie & Perfect Homes: Fall in Bluffton & Hilton Head

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

The season of pumpkins is officially here! Whether you call it Fall or Autumn, love spooky Halloween vibes, or just want an excuse for a slice of spicy pumpkin pie, there’s no denying that pumpkins set the tone this time of year. Some of us are die-hard Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) fans, while others are happy to keep it simple with pumpkin bread. I’ll admit—I used to be pumpkin-obsessed but these days I keep it classic: give me a good spicy pie and I’m happy!

But here’s the thing—just like pumpkin season, the real estate market in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island has its own rhythm. Homes here move with the…

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

Our September meeting of 100 Women Giving Back to the Lowcountry brought together warmth, generosity, and a strong sense of purpose. Hosted at the always-welcoming Carlito’s Restaurant on Hilton Head Island, the evening included meaningful conversation, shared support for an important cause, and some seriously outstanding arroz con pollo (the best I’ve ever had, hands down).

This month, we proudly selected the Blessing Box Project Bluffton—now officially a 501(c)(3) nonprofit—as our featured charity. Their simple, effective, and community-centered mission resonated deeply with our group. And…

The Sweet Spot Is Now: Why Waiting for Interest Rates to Drop Could Cost You Your Dream Home

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

Here’s the thing about real estate: it’s a bit like catching a wave. If you wait until everyone else sees it coming, you’re already too late.

I was reminded of this just yesterday while out showing homes with buyers here in Bluffton, SC. They were lovely—smart, thoughtful, and…just a little heartbroken.

Two years ago, they were looking at homes in Heritage Lakes with a budget around $600,000. Back then, options were plentiful. Today, that same community has homes selling in the high $700s and $800s. Same houses, just with steeper price tags.

The wife? She gets it.
The husband? He’s…

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

Buyers make…

Don’t Wait for the Perfect Home | Bluffton & Hilton Head Real Estate Strategy

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

“Ships that wait for the perfect winds never sail.”

The same is true in real estate. Buyers who wait for the “perfect” community, the dream view, the lowest interest rate, or the exact floor plan often end up sitting on the sidelines—watching opportunities slip away.

I’ve seen it over and over in Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, and Moss Creek. Someone has a long checklist of non-negotiables, which is smart—we should always know our “must-haves.” But here’s the truth: real estate rarely delivers perfection wrapped in a bow. Sometimes the smartest move you can make is to dip your toes in, stay nimble,…

A literary guide for locals, newcomers, dreamers, and salty-air book lovers

There’s something about the Lowcountry that gets into your bones. Maybe it’s the hush of the Spanish moss at dusk or the way the marshes seem to breathe with the tide. Maybe it’s the soft clink of oyster shells underfoot or the unmistakable perfume of pluff mud after rain. Whatever it is—this place tells stories. And once you live here (or even visit), those stories start to feel like your own.

We pulled together a list of books—some fiction, some nonfiction, a few for children—that bring the Lowcountry to life. Whether you’re curled up on a screened porch in Moss Creek, sunning at Coligny Beach, or wandering Beaufort’s historic streets, these books connect you to the…

Where golden hours meet unforgettable views.

A Home Designed Around the View

Hidden in the exclusive Palm Isle section of Moss Creek, 11 Palm Isle Court is a stunning Lowcountry retreat that feels both timeless and transportive. This updated cottage-meets-treehouse is quietly tucked away at the edge of the marsh—and the views are, in a word, breathtaking.

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,…
