Long Distance Buying

"Building a house on an island is not an easy undertaking. To help us
find a suitable site and a builder for our island home, we enlisted the services of Martha's Vineyard Buyer Brokers. We found that Fred Roven knew the Vineyard quite well. He presented many options to us and was by our side through the building and financing process. When we were unable to be on the Island, Fred was our eyes and ears. When problems arose, he was there with solutions. In the end, we got the house we wanted in a perfect location at a very reasonable price. We would do it again, and we probably will!" 

Ken Watson, Brookline and Martha's Vineyard

Real Estate Tips
Buying Land and New Construction >The Zoning Variance

When you are selecting land on which to build your new home, be certain to investigate the zoning for that particular area. You might fall in love with rural acreage that just happens to be zoned for agricultural or recreational purposes. Since zoning uses are not interchangeable, you would need to apply for a variance in order to build a single-family residential dwelling on the land. This can be a challenging process!

Getting approval to have the zoning changed on property requires that you first give public notice, and then request approval for a variance from the government agencies that supervise enforcement of the zoning plan. You might encounter resistance from neighbors or various local interest groups who oppose the zoning changes that would allow you to build your dream home. Your local planning department can tell you how a particular property is zoned and explain what you need to do to get a variance. Your real estate agent may be able to refer you to a local land use attorney who can guide you through the process.
