Living near the water means understanding flood risk. Here's what every Lowcountry buyer needs to know about protecting their investment.
Flood Zones Explained
Properties are rated AE, X, VE, or Shaded X zones. Properties in AE and VE zones require flood insurance for federally backed mortgages. We help you understand your specific risk.
NFIP vs. Private Flood
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) offers standard policies, while private flood insurance can offer higher limits and lower premiums in some cases. We'll shop both options.
Cost Implications
Flood insurance in the Lowcountry typically ranges from $500-$3,000+ annually depending on zone, property value, and coverage. This factors into your qualifying ratios.
How It Affects Your Loan
