Aside from the experience and expertise of the qualified Realtor, the buyer or seller of property can "Dig" into the services offered by the Realtor and decide if this Realtor is compatible with them and meets all their needs. One service that may be offered by the Realtor as a List Agent (working for the Seller) or a Buyers Agent (working for the Buyer) is to provide a certified Flood zone report. Not all Realtors will offer this service. If you have a Realtor representing you as a List agent, having the report will give complete transparency and clarity on a property's current flood zone status based on the current FEMA effective maps. Flood zone maps change from time to time. The report shows comprehensive mapping detail including pinpoint identification of the structure(s) location on the property. Providing a report gains support from flood experts to address questions about flood zone status and possible opportunities to challenge status. In total, this can eliminate wasted time, money and potential loss of a deal due to flood zone status issues that may occur during the transaction. The MyFloodStatus report provided by Appleseed Realty LLC is certified and insured. Anytime you can reduce risk in a real estate transaction, that turns out to be a good day. Great idea to provide buyer clients with a Flood Zone report too.....just so they know what they are purchasing. Call Appleseed Realty at 704-219-3160 to have your property listed with a certified Flood Zone report or if you are in the market to purchase and want to get the best buyer representation possible.
