He didn't learn the water for the job
Tim Sherman grew up working and living on the water along the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, then served six years in the U.S. Navy — 2009 to 2015, out as an E-5 Petty Officer. The Saltwater Realtor is not a marketing angle. It is the shortest accurate description of him.
That background shows up in the parts of a waterfront deal most agents skip. Whether a dock holds water at mean low tide or sits on mud. What a seawall looks like when it is quietly failing. Why an elevation certificate two feet either side of base flood changes an insurance premium by thousands a year. He has built docks, scraped barnacles, and owned the maintenance bill — so the questions he asks on a walkthrough are the ones that cost money later.
He has helped over 100 homeowners buy and sell across the First Coast, working in St. Johns, Duval, Nassau, Clay, Putnam and Bradford counties. Clients tend to describe the same three things: attentive, knowledgeable, responsive. Zillow has him at 5.0 stars across 18 verified reviews.
Away from work: husband and father, boating and drag racing, committed DIY'er, Floridian for life. If it has an engine — or floats — Tim is probably interested.
"The answer is always no unless you ask..."
Tim's rule
