"What sets you apart is your genuine concern."
"It was a pleasure working with you when we purchased a condo at Island Beach Club. We were immediately impressed with your professionalism and knowledge. Although it is expected that a Realtor should somewhat possess these qualities, what sets you apart is your genuine concern and honesty. You looked out for our interests like you were buying a condo for yourselves. You sensed our needs and went beyond what you were required to do to meet them. Not only were you attentive while we were looking, but during the closing and after! You made us feel like our purchase was the most important sale you were ever involved in. We would strongly recommend you to any of our friends looking for a place on the island. In fact, our confidence in you is so strong, we bought our condo from you sight unseen and were extremely pleased. We feel that we not only found a perfect place on a beautiful island, but two new friends."

Buying Land and New Construction >From the Ground Up Buying land is different from buying a home, because you must resolve issues relative to land use restrictions, utilities, access and easements before building. When you locate land that seems right for your house, visit the local planning department before making an offer.
Ask whether city sewer, water and electricity are available. If not, you will need to calculate the expenses of installing a well and testing the soil for a septic system.
The land will be zoned for residential, business, or agricultural purposes. Does the zoning permit you to build the house you want? Are there easements on the lot that will limit where you can build or how you can access the property? Ask about the long-range plans for use of the surrounding land. The land will be more attractive if the city intends to build a park or new school nearby. But if a six-lane highway or a waste treatment facility are in the city's future plans, you may decide to look elsewhere for a place to build your dream home.
