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

Home values across Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, and Beaufort County have seen steady appreciation over the past several years. For many homeowners, their property has become one of the most valuable assets in their financial portfolio.

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.”

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


Life in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island is all about balance—between coastal calm and vibrant community living. That same principle applies when it comes to your home. In Feng Shui, balance isn’t just a design trend—it’s a way of creating harmony in both life and living spaces. The five Feng Shui elements—water, wood, fire, earth, and metal—all play a role, but the one that brings the most energy, passion, and vitality is fire.

The Fire Element in Home Design

Fire is dynamic. It sparks attention and creates unforgettable impressions. Think about it: fire transforms wood into light and power. In home design, the fire…

Let Them: A Love Letter to Real Estate (and Sanity)

By Allison Cobb | Brokered by eXp Luxury Realty

Real estate is my calling. Full stop. I’ve worn a lot of professional hats in my life—banker, event planner, teacher, catering director, librarian (yes, I even earned a master’s degree in teaching), dog walker (shout out to Pawing Around Town), mom, wife—and somehow, being a Realtor has stitched all of those roles together.

Helping people buy or sell a home might seem straightforward. But those of us in the trenches know better. We're not just unlocking doors and staging flowers—we're navigating emotions, finances, life transitions, dreams, and sometimes chaos… with a smile. If you've ever called your Realtor at 9pm to "just ask one quick…
