Waterfront living
LOOK BEYOND THE VIEW
The right waterfront home starts with the right questions.
A waterfront home should fit both your life and the way you plan to use the water. I help buyers and sellers look closely at the details that can make a big difference.
What should you check?
Water depth and access
Ask about canal depth, seasonal water conditions, and the route to open water. Verify suitability for your boat and intended use with appropriate local sources.
Bridge clearance
Know the bridges along your route and verify clearance for your boat. Water levels and vessel height can affect access.
Dock space and seawalls
Look at available dockage, utilities, seawall condition, and property boundaries. Qualified inspectors and contractors can help evaluate condition and repair needs.
The full picture
Review insurance, flood information, maintenance needs, and any relevant restrictions before making a decision.
