Respect, Trust & Reputation: Why Allison Cobb is a Trusted Realtor in Bluffton & Hilton Head

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

In real estate, hard work is the baseline. Every Realtor can say they work hard for their clients. But what really sets you apart? Being respected not only by buyers and sellers — but also by the industry insiders who keep deals moving.

Because let’s be honest: no one closes homes alone. Every transaction involves attorneys, lenders, inspectors, exterminators, appraisers, paralegals, and of course, other Realtors. If you don’t have credibility with these people, you’re playing the game with one hand tied behind your back.

That’s why respect matters. It’s why reputation matters. And…

Ah, the Lowcountry. Where we bask in mild winters, sipping sweet tea on porches well into December. But then it happens: the weatherman whispers the dreaded words—“freeze warning.” Cue the collective panic.

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…

Posted by Paige Rose on Monday, August 16th, 2021 at 12:18pm

After months of declines, the inventory of homes for sale nationwide is beginning to increase as more sellers come to the market, looking to capitalize on record-high sales prices while providing a much-need boost of supply to America’s epic housing shortage. This is encouraging news for homebuyers, who have struggled with a lack of supply and rocketing sales prices during the pandemic.

This morning I found a snake waiting for me at my back door while I was making coffee! I instantly started looking up articles on snakes to find out what kind it was and learned that May is snake season. I mean...I'm a little ahead of the curve since it's only April! They must know that I am a safe house because I would never hurt them ????.

I found this article through my voracious researching this morning and thought I would share since the snakes are likely headed to your home too!

There is magic in those early morning hours before the rest of your house wakes up. I love to sit in the stillness of the dawn light while the world slowly wakes up; when the birds begin to chirp, animals begin to stir, and the light is a magical thick yellow-y orange. There isn’t a better time to rein in your day than before it starts. It’s the perfect time to center yourself and set up how you want the day to play out. There will always be surprises, but this way you start with ownership. Don’t turn on the computer or focus on what happened yesterday. Take the time to begin with something fresh. Journal, blog, read, or sit in the stillness. Fill up your tank. The surprises that do flow in throughout your day will be more manageable. Sleep is still #1…

The market is tight as inventory is low, and there are many buyers circling to get into the game. Right now it's fair to say that we are knee deep a “Seller’s Market” in the South Carolina Lowcountry and that one needs to be very savvy in order to have their offer accepted. 

There is an art to writing an offer and having a strong, knowledgeable Realtor makes all the difference. Coming in aggressively and locking down a property before multiple offers are presented usually lands you the best opportunity and the desired home. Dancing around the obvious might cause a purchaser to end up with their disappointing second choice. 

  • Go in knowing your bottomline and where you are comfortable walking away from the transaction without any regrets. Don’t…
