Growing up on the water in the Midwest and moving to the Space Coast in 1990 then to the Treasure Coast in 2008, Jim Tippmann has utilized his life-long experience on the water and many years in Real Estate to build the perfect foundation for a Real Estate Team that focuses on Salt-Water-Front homes. With a deep understanding of offshore boating and the vast array of fishing boats, motor yachts, trawlers and sailboats coming and going from the many private and community docks as well as the local marinas on the Treasure Coast and Space Coast, Jim knows what it takes to match your housing expectations with your boating needs. There are many facets to buying or selling a home. Jim has been involved in Real Estate in multiple states and for over 30 years and stands ready to put those years of service to work for you! When you add the concept of a "Salt Waterfront Home" to the mix, there are many challenges to merging the boating world with the housing world and they are compounded by the endless concerns about getting your vessel to your home, on the water. Fixed or draw bridges? Access channel depth? Docking and maneuvering space? Dock strength? Boat lift capacity? Power and water at the dock? Travel time to open water? Ocean inlet hazards? Storm safety concerns? Issues with High and Low tide? This list goes on and on. Wouldn't you want an agent who is not only highly qualified to help you buy or sell your home but can also walk-the-walk, not just talk, about your dock, vessel and ocean access from your home?
