Weekly Market Report »Island Buying Expertise
Buying on an island takes more than a standard home inspection. On Balboa Island and Lido Isle, buyers weigh lot position, seawall condition and dock permits. On the private islands, Linda Isle, Bay Island and Collins Island, access rules and association terms matter as much as the home. On Harbor Island, deep water access for larger vessels is often the deciding factor. For every island we help with the due diligence on seawalls, docks and tideland terms.
