What is different about closing timelines in Isle of Palms versus James Island?

Closing timelines on Isle of Palms often run a bit longer due to flood zone documentation and elevation certificates that a lender needs to review on nearly every barrier island property. James Island closings move at a more typical pace, though waterfront parcels there can face similar documentation requirements.
