Thinking About Blue Inlet?
In Blue Inlet, the water and the dock decide much of the value. I help buyers compare docks, depth and seawalls, not only houses, before they make an offer. I help owners of original homes decide whether to sell as is, renovate or sell to a builder. As a yacht broker, I can also help you match the dock to the boat.
