Five Questions You Should Ask Before Hiring A Land Realtor

April 25, 2023 by chorton Leave a Comment

When buying land, it’s a great idea to work with a professional. No one has more knowledge or experience than a Accredited Land Consult (ALC), otherwise known as a land Realtor.

ALCs, unlike other real estate agents are land experts. They have taken a course load that is rigorous through the Realtor Land Institute’s Land University program. They can help you to navigate the process easily, and their support is crucial in getting the best property for the best price.

It’s important to choose an ALC who understands your communication style and goals. How do you find these people? Here are the five most important questions you should ask a Realtor, before beginning your land search.

1. What Kind of Land Deals Are You Specialized In?

Even experts have certain areas in which their expertise is more valuable than others. It’s important to know which land deals a Realtor is best suited to help with. This is especially true if your transaction requires a little extra expertise.

2. How well do you know the local zoning laws?

A good land Realtor will do extensive research to make sure that a property meets your requirements. The best land Realtor will have this information and be able to walk you through the guidelines and restrictions while you are searching and touring various land options.

3. Do you have any other specialists that you can refer me to?

Land buying is not an easy process. You may need to hire a lawyer and an inspector in addition to other specialists, such as a soil tester, engineer, contractor, etc. It is best to work with someone who has a list of trusted names.

4. What is the level of involvement I can expect?

A land Realtor, who is worth his salt, will do more than just send over carefully curated land listings. This means that comprehensive support includes hands-on assistance with every aspect of buying land, such as financing, planning and transaction paperwork. You can also use this question to learn more about the communication style of your Realtor, and how responsive they will be on a daily basis.

5. What is your fee structure?

You may have to pay additional fees for the services that your ALC provides. Find out upfront what the cost will be to avoid any unpleasant surprises. While you might end up paying more for a land Realtor to represent you than a regular real estate agent it will almost always be worth it.

Are you ready to find the land Realtor, who checks all of the boxes? Our agents at Preferred Properties of Texas are here to help!

What is the average time it takes to close on land?

April 13, 2023 by chorton Leave a Comment

 

Before you can take possession of the property, there are many things that go into buying land. While accepting your offer is a major hurdle, closing the deal is the real step.

Like closing on other types real estate, closing on land is a process that requires clear steps and requirements. How long does it take from accepting an offer to closing? This article will tell you everything you need to know about closing land deals. It also includes how long it takes to get your keys.

Average length of land closing

If everything goes according to plan, your land purchase will close within 30 to 90 days after you accept an offer .

Pre-negotiated negotiations with the seller (such a for a shorter or longer closing period) and any snags along the way with financing or inspections are all variables that can affect the length of your closing time. The closing period can also be affected if you are paying cash or taking out a loan.

Steps to Closing Land Purchases

Traditional land sales go through several steps, starting with the offer to purchase and ending with your formal ownership.

These include:

  • Examination and title search
  • Surveys and property inspections
  • Bank financing
  • Final walk-throughs

This should be familiar to anyone who has ever bought land or brick-and-mortar properties. It’s quite common for land closings to be complicated. These are not issues you will encounter with commercial or residential properties. These issues can be handled by a good attorney and real estate agent. This will allow you to decide when it is worth continuing with the sale and when it’s better to back out.

How to Close Faster

Are you in a rush to close the deal? To move things along, there are some things you can do prior to and during closing.

  • Pre-approve for financing. Before you submit an offer for a piece or start your land search, make sure all your financial ducks are in order. This will eliminate some of the time-consuming steps in the closing process, and it will also guarantee that you can get the money that you need.
  • Cash is preferred. Pay cash for your land purchase if possible. This will allow you to avoid the financing part of closing and it may make the seller more open to negotiating on your closing time.
  • Request a shorter closing period. If you are looking to close quickly, it is worth asking for a shorter closing period. The seller may be just as eager for closing as you are, and will likely sell the property sooner than you suggest.

Remember that even if you have a faster closing, it is still important to allow enough time for title and land inspections. Do your research before closing to ensure you get a great deal.

Understanding Different Types Of Access Is Crucial For Anyone Looking To Buy Land For Sale.

February 27, 2023 by chorton Leave a Comment

Property access is the right to use, occupy, or enter a parcel of land. This could include the right to drive, walk or access a road or any other structure on the property. The owner of the land can grant or restrict property access, depending on local laws and regulations.

A public road is one of the most popular ways to access vacant land. The government maintains public roads and they are usually open to the general public. Accessing vacant land via a public road has the advantage that they are generally maintained and offer reliable transportation for all types of vehicles.

A private road is another common way to access vacant land. Private roads are maintained and owned by individuals and organizations, such as an HOA. Access may be restricted for certain groups. Accessing vacant land via a private road has the advantage of offering more privacy and security. Public roads are not as well maintained as private roads. This can cause problems with transportation and maintenance.

An easement is another way to access vacant land. This is the one that scares many people. An easement, a legal agreement that gives the owner of the land permission to use a particular portion of another person’s property for a specified purpose, is called a “legal agreement”. You can use easements to gain access to land that is otherwise inaccessible. Accessing vacant land via an easement can be a cost-effective way to gain access to land that might otherwise be impossible or difficult.

A right-of-way agreement is another way to access vacant land. A right-of way easement is a particular type of easement. It is usually an appurtenant and runs alongside the land. However, all rights-of-way can be considered easements. A right-of way easement is a legal agreement giving the owner of the land permission to use a particular portion of another person’s property for transportation purposes. You can use rights-of-way to gain access to land that is otherwise inaccessible.

It’s important to mention that access can be made by other means than roads. These include boat, water and air access. Access by boat may be required for land located near water bodies such as rivers, lakes, or oceans. Access by air may be necessary for land in remote and difficult-to-reach places. Although these accesses can be more costly and difficult to establish, they may offer unique opportunities for land development and use.

It is considered landlocked if there is no access to the land. A landlocked property is one that does not have a right-of-way or legal easement to a public road. This means it cannot be reached without crossing other private property (trespassing). This can make it more difficult or impossible for land owners to use the land or develop it. It can also lower the property’s value. A local real estate lawyer can help you determine if easements are possible if you’re considering buying land. There are several steps to legal access to landlocked properties. It is wise to listen to their legal advice and stop trying to pursue a property. Access falls under three categories in general: public access (deeded access), undeeded access (undeeded access).

Public Access Property that touches a road maintained by the government is open to the public. You don’t need to cross any other property to reach yours if there’s public access.

A deeded access is a legally-established right-of-way, or easement, that has been specifically described and recorded within the deeds for a specific piece of land. This type of access is usually granted by the landowner and is considered a permanent, binding right.

Uneeded access refers to a right of way or easement that is not specifically described in the property records. This type of access can be based on long-standing usage, custom, or an implied agreement, but is not always a legal right. It may be harder to prove or enforce undeserving access in court.

Anyone looking to buy or develop land should be able to understand the different access. The easiest and most reliable way to access vacant land is via public roads. However, private roads, easements and rights-of-way, as well as alternative access methods such as boating or air access, are all viable options. This depends on the particular circumstances of the land.

A careful consideration of all access options can make it easier to purchase land.

Things to Look for in Homestead Land

September 6, 2022 by chorton Leave a Comment

Buying land to build a homestead can help you achieve your goal of self-sufficiency.

Homesteading, also called hobby farming, is not a new concept. It is seeing a revival due to growing interest in self-reliant rural lifestyles. While you can grow a productive edible gardening garden on most properties, even in the suburbs, a true homestead requires substantial acreage. You should also do extensive research to ensure the land is suitable for your needs.

It can be very rewarding to start your own homestead. It is important to plan carefully, especially for the land you purchase.

There are a few factors that will determine how much land you need to build a homestead. You can read more in the next section. However, the most important factor to consider when searching for land is available acreage. This should be realistic to meet your hobby farming goals.

Access to water is not a requirement for your land. However, if it’s located in rural areas, it may not. It does have to have access to at least one reliable source for potable water, such a well. Although it is not necessary to have an additional source of water for fishing or swimming, it is an added bonus.

If you buy land with already-built structures, you may be able to get access to the road. If you are buying land that is not in use, you will need to consider your access options. This includes road frontage options as well as cost and maintenance.

It is important to know what kind of soil your have. You may need to get soil testing done before you invest. This will ensure that you have the right type of soil for your project.

Pay attention to the CCRs (Covenants Conditions and Restrictions) and zoning regulations for the property that you are interested in. You may be limited in certain areas even in rural areas. It is important to understand these limitations before you make any decisions.

Your family size and the amount of food you plan to grow will determine the ideal size for your homestead. A small family may only need two acres if it is well managed. Larger families and larger homesteads will require more. A good rule of thumb is to have one acre per person. This includes enough space for animals, trees and any other items you want to keep on your property.
