Buying Land

 

Our reputation was built on selling land. Many of our Realtor Agents have owned and developed real estate.  This continues to grow our expertise in the land selling business.

 


A Few Things Buyers Must Know to Buy Land:

  • Zoning.  Some parcels can be divided, others cannot and these various forms of zoning restrict the use of a parcel, but also help determine the value of a parcel.  We understand zoning and stay on top of zoning changes and trends. 
  • Access.  Just because a parcel is on the road or has a nice driveway leading up to it does not mean it has legal access.  Landlocked properties exist.  We help Buyers and Sellers do their homework so access issues are resolved.
  • Financing.  Some people believe that land purchases are a cash-only prospect, but that’s not true.  Land can be financed, and there are many competent lenders and loan products available.  
  • Tax Designations.  This one can be a doozy.  From Open Space, to Agricultural to Senior exemptions, there are some interesting tax designations on real estate, and some of them can cost a Buyer a bundle, while others will save you lot of money.  We help Buyers understand Tax Designations.
  • Corners & Fences & Property Lines, oh my.  When you see a nice long fence and think “Hmm, there’s the property line” you are only half-right.  A fence may denote a line, but not always a property line.  This is a tricky aspect of buying land.  Experts designate property lines, fences and streams, and tree lines do not. 
  • Always Call JACE for Land!  Sounds like a marketing ploy but is actually cal to action.  We train our agents to understand more than 56 critical points about buying and selling land…and we will gladly share our knowledge with you.
