I recently checked out a piece of property across from a river which advertised private access to a dock and boat ramp, so it seemed pretty clear cut. During the visit, though, the realtor was unsure if the deed included this access. She had to call her boss who then informed us that there was no such writing. I realize I should have called and asked about this first, but is this practice common is the reality business?

Waterfront rights are terribly difficult for some people. Where are you - find a realtor/broker with some knowledge. Or call an attorney.


In my experience. Many non water front landowners have been using the lake or river across the street for some many years that they forgot the reason it was open to them. Typically a land front owner did not know their easement was being used. Or the neighbor let them use it.

Either way - outside of some lakes in the eastern USA there are very few non waterfront lots w access.

My issue was the way it was advertised as all inclusive by the broker/realtor yet none of that was in writing after all. I get you have to paint a certain picture when selling, but still.

Waterfront is same as land/ranch. Some realtors/brokers do not and will not ever understand how it works.


Which river

S
If the landowner told the Realtor that there was access then they could have been going off their word. There are lots of Realtors out there that have no experience selling/buying land and yet put their own interest in front of their client. I'm a land specialist and I make sure and verify anything that I'm told by a Seller that would be a big plus for a Buyer. You would still have an option period to verify things if your Realtor understands that's not just for homes.
