There is some thought required to find that perfect waterfront property. For example: Does the property have access to deep water? Are there bridges or obstacles in the way that would impede navigation, and a very important consideration when purchasing a home is the FEMA Flood Zone rules!

 

And, if you’re looking for a property to build on, clearly, 40-plus years of building experience goes a long way to help you make the proper decision while choosing a building site. Jurisdictional wetlands, building setbacks, lot coverage ratios for impervious surfaces, building heights, and utility connections and easements are some of the considerations for new construction. He is by far the most knowledgeable waterfront real estate professional on the Nature Coast and Citrus County and has the experience to turn your dream into Reality.

And son Aaron, has a Master’s degree in Bio-Medical Engineering and is a graduate of Law School with distinction. Aaron practices intellectual property law with a premier national firm.

 

He is active in the community and has served as a President of the Citrus County Builders Association, President of the Citrus County Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association, and as a Club President and Governor for Rotary International District 6950.
