What to Check Before Buying a Waterfront Home
Waterfront property has its own checklist: seawall age and condition, dock permits, canal depth, bridge clearance to open water, flood zone and elevation, and the cost of insurance. Chris reviews each of these with buyers before an offer is made. For more detail, read Seawalls and Dock Permits in Miami: A Buyer’s Guide and The Real Cost of Waterfront Maintenance in Miami.
