An affluent oceanfront borough of large estates on some of the Jersey Shore's most valuable land.
Deal's oceanfront and lakefront estates fall in AE and VE flood zones, where a few inches of elevation can mean serious money on a flood policy. Flood elevation certificates, boundary surveys and title/ALTA work for high-value transactions are the staples here.
Our shore office in Lavallette keeps a survey crew close to Deal, so you're not waiting on a firm driving in from out of county. With more than 50 years of records across the Jersey Shore — and an archive of historic survey histories most firms simply don't have — we can often resolve a boundary, locate an old monument or turn a closing survey faster than starting cold.
Most of Deal is mapped within a FEMA flood zone — commonly AE, with VE along the oceanfront. A flood elevation certificate documents exactly how your lowest floor sits relative to the Base Flood Elevation, which drives your insurance rating.
Often, yes. If your lowest floor is at or above the Base Flood Elevation, an elevation certificate — and sometimes a LOMA — can reduce your premium or remove a high-risk flood-zone requirement. We prepare the data both rely on.
Fast — our crew works out of Lavallette, so the shore is our home turf. For closings and policy deadlines we routinely turn elevation certificates and boundary surveys on a tight schedule.
Send the address and your deadline and we'll get you a price and a date — fast.
