        "text": "Owning a waterfront home typically offers greater privacy, direct private dockage, and more control over property modifications, but comes with higher maintenance responsibilities for seawalls, docks, and landscaping. A waterfront condo often provides shared amenities like community docks, pools, and gyms, with exterior maintenance handled by the association, but with less privacy and potential restrictions on boat size or type. Kelby Contreras can help weigh these practical tradeoffs based on your lifestyle and property management preferences in specific areas like Williams Island or Miami Beach.",
