For Realtors & Developers

Navigating Waterfront Permitting with Ease

In real estate transactions, we regularly encounter the same handful of scenarios that realtors and developers face on TVA, Georgia Power, and Alabama Power lakes — and we've built our process around answering them quickly.

Common Scenarios

How We Help Realtors Move Deals Forward

01

Property Dockability Inquiry

Realtors often ask whether a property is dockable. We can swiftly determine the property's zoning status from the address, which tells you whether dock rights are permitted.

02

Buyer Contingency for a Permit

When a potential buyer has a contingency requiring an approved permit, we investigate whether the property already holds one that may not be in the current owner's possession — and help facilitate the documentation if it exists.

03

Fast-Track Dock Construction or Shoreline Rehab

Buyers keen on expediting dock construction or shoreline rehabilitation often need reliable contacts. We maintain a network of reputable contractors across all the lakes we serve and are glad to make introductions.

These represent the most common scenarios, but there may be others. Our goal is to give realtors reliable answers — often faster than it would take to contact the permitting agency directly.

Why It Matters

Value in Waterfront Properties

Prospective buyers are more discerning than ever when it comes to investing in waterfront properties, particularly around dock rights. We've collaborated with developers who prioritize obtaining permits for each lot up front, allowing them to market properties as “dock approved” with tangible documentation to support the claim — enhancing property value and building buyer confidence.

We also specialize in managing permit acquisition for community dock facilities. Like individual lot permits, community facility approval requires attention to detail and substantial paperwork — we handle every part of that process, ensuring compliance and efficiency throughout.
