HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – William Raveis Real Estate announced today that Allison Cobb and The Cobb Group have joined the company, further strengthening William Raveis’ presence in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton markets and its growing luxury real estate network throughout South Carolina.
Led by Allison Cobb, The Cobb Group includes real estate professionals Natalie Burnside, George Cobb and David Hussey and serves buyers and sellers throughout Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Lowcountry. The group brings decades of combined market experience, an established local reputation and a relationship driven approach to residential real estate.
The Cobb Group will maintain its established office in Moss Creek Village at 1533 Fording Island Road, Suite 318, Hilton Head Island, providing continuity for its clients while gaining access to the expanded marketing, technology and network of William Raveis Real Estate. The group will also maintain its established online presence at TheCobbGroup.com.
For Cobb, the move to William Raveis provides the opportunity to maintain the identity and local relationships The Cobb Group has built while significantly expanding the resources available to its clients.
“William Raveis gives us the combination we were looking for: the ability to remain local and personal while being connected to a much larger network,” said Cobb. “Our clients increasingly come to the Hilton Head and Bluffton markets from across the country, and having access to a strong referral network, sophisticated marketing and technology, and a company with a significant commitment to luxury real estate gives us additional opportunities to serve them. Just as importantly, the culture and values of William Raveis align with how we have always approached our business: relationships first, transparency and doing what is right for the client.”
The addition of The Cobb Group is an important step in William Raveis’ continued investment in Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, according to Cristy Dow, Strategic Growth Manager for William Raveis Real Estate in Hilton Head and Bluffton.
“Allison and The Cobb Group are exactly the kind of real estate professionals we want to attract to William Raveis,” said Dow. “They are established in this market, highly respected and have built their business around long-term relationships, integrity and exceptional client service. Those values are very much aligned with our company. Bringing an experienced group with deep roots in Hilton Head and Bluffton into our organization strengthens not only our local presence, but the level of collaboration and opportunity available to all our agents.”
The announcement comes as William Raveis continues to expand its presence across South Carolina, with operations spanning Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Charleston, Greenville and Clemson and serving markets throughout the state.
“We are thrilled to have Allison and The Cobb Group join William Raveis and become part of what we are building across South Carolina,” said Owen Tyler, Senior Vice President, the Carolinas and Georgia, William Raveis Real Estate. “We are bringing together exceptional local real estate professionals in some of the state’s most important markets, particularly in the luxury segment. Hilton Head and Bluffton are an important part of that network, along with Charleston, Greenville and Clemson. The strength comes from connecting great local professionals and giving them the relationships, resources and reach to better serve their clients.”
Tyler added that the strength of a broader network has become increasingly important as buyers move between markets and sellers expect their properties to receive exposure well beyond their immediate communities.
“Today’s luxury real estate market is increasingly interconnected,” Tyler said. “A seller in Hilton Head or Bluffton should benefit from relationships that extend well beyond the Lowcountry, throughout the Carolinas, Florida, the Northeast and across the country and internationally. At the same time, sellers and their agents need transparency, sophisticated marketing, local expertise and a strong network working on their behalf. Our goal is to combine the reach and resources of William Raveis with outstanding local professionals who know their markets and have earned the trust of their clients.”
The Cobb Group has established a significant presence in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton real estate communities, representing buyers and sellers across primary residences, second homes, investment properties and luxury real estate. The Cobb Group has more than 30 years of real estate experience and has been recognized multiple times by Bluffton Today’s Readers’ Choice Awards. The Cobb Group has also previously been named Best Real Estate Team by The Island Packet and Bluffton Today.
The move also connects The Cobb Group to William Raveis’ broader luxury platform and international relationships. William Raveis maintains affiliations with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and Luxury Portfolio International®, providing its agents and clients access to an extensive network of real estate professionals and luxury markets around the world.
