Waterfront property guide
How do you prepare waterfront asset information before a sale?
A pre-listing waterfront record reduces the burden of reconstructing years of missing information after the property reaches the market.
Document before buyer questions begin
Capture photographs, reference dimensions, equipment identifiers, available warranties, invoices, manuals, and known repair history while the owner still has time to locate them.
Create a clear equipment summary
List visible manufacturers, models, serial numbers, capacity markings, motors, controls, materials, and current configuration without presenting the documentation as a safety or engineering certification.
Use CAD as a documentation tool
Reference-measurement CAD drawings can help a listing team and buyer understand the visible layout. They should be clearly described as documentation drawings, not surveys, engineered plans, or permit drawings.
Keep facts separate from professional conclusions
The record should make confirmed facts easier to find while directing condition, capacity, structure, electrical, underwater, code, and safety questions to qualified professionals.
