8. Buying & Selling Waterfront & Coastal real estate is unequivocally in a class of its own.
We specialize in Waterfront & Coastal homes
Peter Lo Bello, the Director of “Properties of Elegance & Distinction”
Of Coldwell Banker Flanagan Realty’s team of waterfront and costal real estate experts. Peter is happy to share his insight and knowledge in selling or buying waterfront / coastal properties.
365,000 properties were damaged by Superstorm Sandy. The vast majority are those located on or near coastal waterways. These properties have many unique issues which are
quite complicated. These include lands that have formerly been flowed by tidal water and are subject to State claim, riparian issues including riparian grants, riparian rights and
involving areas which are currently flowed by tidal water. These properties can subject to licensing by the State and new Federal flood maps which substantially change elevation
recommendations and requirements for structures located in flood zones. Many of the State and Federal licensing, maps, rules and regulations have changed over the past two
years, keeping current is imperative.
Many Real Estate agent’s simply lack the expertise necessary to properly consider the myriad of issues facing buyers and sellers of waterfront properties. It absolutely takes a team
of professionals to provide proper guidance and accurate information.

buyers of shore property.

intimately involved in the drafting of new regulations necessitated by changes in the National Flood Insurance Program and the forthcoming
