The work, up close
Jonah Keene works waterfront property along the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, and checks the flood zone and insurance quote before any offer goes in.
Waterfront on the Tennessee River is a wonderful place to live and an education in insurance. Flood zone, elevation certificate, what the carrier will write and at what price, how all of that changes the number a lender will lend.
