Case Study
Making Flood Insurance Easier for Coastal Homeowners
The Challenge
A client in Norfolk, Massachusetts, needed to secure a flood insurance policy but had to prove their home’s elevation was above the base flood elevation as determined by FEMA—a requirement that can be especially complex in coastal areas.
Building Blocks
Nadeen stepped in to assist by filing with FEMA to determine the home’s baseline elevation. Her expertise in navigating the bureaucracy of flood insurance proved essential. She also provided insight into broader coastal flooding issues and construction restrictions in flood-prone zones.
Result
The client is on track to obtain the necessary documentation for flood insurance approval. They are now eligible for coverage with a High-Net-Worth insurance company. Without proof of elevation, this client’s home would not have been able to get placement in the regular insurance marketplace. This saved her client thousands in premium and avoided a potential nightmare claim scenario. Nadeen’s specialized knowledge not only eased the process.
