Book excerpt: This is the all new 2021 edition of "7 Sea Level Rise Real Estate Questions for Buyers, Sellers, Owners & Real Estate Agents". Sea level rise flooding isn't a challenge for future generations to deal with, it's here now. Many communities along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coastlines are experiencing sea level rise flooding, especially during the fall king tide season. To make informed real estate decisions, buyers, sellers, owners, and real estate agents need to perform due diligence by gathering information on how sea level rise flooding is impacting their communities, neighborhoods, and properties of interest. The effort is critically important because sea level rise flooding can impact their maintenance costs, tax rates, insurance rates, ability to get flood insurance policies and mortgages, and, in the case of real estate agents, their ability to meet their responsibilities to their buyers and sellers and avoid the potential of costly lawsuits. This book will give you: 1. A detailed understanding of how global warming and sea level rise work and why they're so unpredictable; 2) How sea level rise flooding impacts the world, the country, communities, neighborhoods and individual properties; 3) What buyers, owners, and real estate agents need to know regarding a seller's and agents responsibility to disclose the presence of flooding to a buyer; 4) Why buyers shouldn't assume that sellers, real estate agents, or anyone else has their backs when it comes to sea level rise flooding; 5) Why buyers need to consult with multiple sources -- such as flood insurance providers, mortgage providers, home inspectors, government officials, and sea level rise flooding apps -- BEFORE submitting contracts to sellers in coastal communities now experiencing or at risk of experiencing sea level rise flooding; 6) Why it's critically important to know in detail how a community intends to prevent sea level rise flooding (Hint: imagine what will happen to market value if a new seawall or pump station blocks your view); 7) The most important question to ask yourself when considering the purchase of a property in a coastal community experiencing sea level rise flooding. By the time you finish reading "7 Sea Level Rise Real Estate Questions for Buyers, Sellers, Owners & Real Estate Agents" you will have a better understanding of this creeping catastrophe and what you can do to protect your financial future.
