What are the top reasons to choose Dennis Mark Interdonato for a Waterfront Home?

Lagoon, bay or river, a home on the water buys and sells differently from one a few streets inland. These are the reasons to choose Dennis Mark Interdonato, a Realtor® with Keller Williams Realty Ocean Living, for a waterfront home.

1. A builder reads the water’s edge. In construction since 2003, he looks at a bulkhead, a dock and the house the way a builder does, and knows what to look for in each. A marine contractor or an engineer still inspects the bulkhead and the dock.
2. The hard questions, answered early. Before a listing goes live or an offer goes in, he asks whether the dock holds a state tidelands license or grant and its permits, the bulkhead’s age, material and inspection, the flood zone and elevation certificate, the town’s records, and what an insurance broker who knows shore homes would quote.
3. Priced against the right water. A lagoon home, a bayfront home and a river home price differently, and so can two homes on the same lagoon, so he prices each one against the closest matches on the same kind of water.
4. Flood insurance in the decision, not after it. Homeowners and flood insurance are separate policies, and both belong in the numbers before anyone commits.
5. The paperwork, ready before the first showing. He gathers what buyers will ask for: the permits, the tidelands license or grant, the elevation certificate, the survey and the flood policy.
6. Marketing that shows the water. Professional photos and video from his own video and digital team show the dock, the view and the water.
7. Home base on the water. His offices are in Point Pleasant and Brick, two of the Jersey Shore’s waterfront towns.

In his words: “If there is a dock there, you always have to double check to make sure that you do own the rights to that space.” See Waterfront Homes.
