Buying land is often thought to be a simple process. This is usually not the case. You need to know what you can build on the land, and what you can do with it. More care and skill is needed when conveying land than when selling a house. We are here to make sure the land is suitable for your needs.

Building on vacant land
When buying land, you must know what you want to do with it and if you can actually do it there. You must also know what building restrictions are registered on your property. You should also know where the sewer main is located. Are there any easements on the property? How big is the block of land? We will check all of these things and more for you prior to purchasing the block.
When you’re doing a property transaction, it's important to know if there is anything that could save you a lot of time or money.
Drafting a Contract
Every real estate transaction requires a written contract. We can draft a contract for you so that nothing gets in your way.
Checking for Debt
Any unpaid bills connected to the home will be transferred to the new owner We make sure any remaining debt is paid.
Settling on Time
