        "text": "When buying a vacation home in a designated flood zone, thorough due diligence is essential. This includes obtaining a recent flood elevation certificate, understanding the property's flood risk, and researching flood insurance costs. Reviewing past flood claims on the property and understanding evacuation routes are also critical. While a flood zone might seem concerning, many properties are well-protected, and understanding the specifics will help you make an informed decision. Our team can assist in navigating these considerations in high-risk areas within our service counties.",
