A small team for houses on salt water, lakes and sloughs. We price the shoreline as carefully as the rooms, and we show it at the hour it is best.
The wateron what we sell
A house on the water is two properties.One is the building.The other is the shore: the tide that runs past it, the light at five on a winter afternoon, the permits nobody kept.We sell both, and we start with the second.
Every house we take on gets the same first week: a walk of the shoreline at low water, a read of the bulkhead, dock and septic records, and an honest note on what a careful buyer will ask. Then we decide, with you, what it is worth.
The housesfour samples
The kind of sheet we write for every listing: the water, the shore, the light and the one thing we would tell a buyer first. These four are samples of the format.
Outer coast, sample
Agent's noteAsk where the dune line sat ten years ago. The answer matters more than the kitchen.
Strait shoreline, sample
Agent's noteA bluff lot lives or dies on its geotechnical report. We put it on the table first.
Sheltered bay, sample
Agent's noteCheck that the dock was permitted, not just built. Buyers inherit both.
Tidal slough, sample
Agent's noteSee it at low tide as well as high. You are buying both views.
Tell us about the house and we will write its sheet before we talk price.
See the sample sheets in fullSample listings for a fictional team. They are not real properties, not offered for sale and not drawn from any MLS. Photographs are licensed stock, credited on the credits page.
The salehow it runs
Tide range, exposure, erosion setbacks and what the county allows at the shoreline. We walk it at low water before anything else.
Dock and bulkhead permits, septic records, easements and shared float agreements, gathered before the house goes public so nothing surprises a buyer late.
Photographs and showings timed to the light and tide that make the case, whether that is a still morning or a long west sunset.
Waterfront inspections raise their own questions. We answer them with records, not reassurance, so the price you agreed survives to closing.
The recordwhat you can check
A valuation starts with a conversation and a walk of the shore. There is no cost and no obligation to list.
Your note is with the team. Expect a call within one business day, at a time that suits the tide and you.
