Where Shane Works

Two Florida Coastlines. One Waterfront Specialist.

Waterfront Is Different

What a Waterfront Specialist Looks At

A waterfront home is really two purchases: the house and the water it sits on. These are the questions that separate a great waterfront home from an expensive surprise.

Water access & depth

Sailboat or direct Gulf access, number of bridges, fixed-bridge clearance, and depth at the dock at low tide.

Seawall, dock & lift

Condition, age and permits on seawalls, docks and boat lifts, which can be costly to repair or replace.

Flood zone & insurance

Flood zone, elevation and building-code era all shape insurance costs and future renovation options.

Community & lifestyle

HOA rules, rental policies, boat storage, and the day-to-day feel of each canal, bay or island community.
