Question,
does any one know if your selling a piece of property about 3/4 acea if it has to be valuated.

It does not have to be appraised. You need a title to sell it. You need to pay taxes on the amount of the transaction. It is recommended the transaction be handled by an attorney. It is customary for the buyer and seller to use the same attorney but if there are any disputes later on, it causes difficulties if there is only one attorney.

It depends. It is up to you if you want to get a professional valuation done on the property. Getting a valuation done will guide the sale of the property. It does not mean that this is what you will sell the property for. Once a price is arrived at between the vendor and the buyer, then, you are good to go.

thanks guys for the info its very much appreciated

Price too high and you'll run potential buyers, too low and you loose.

When converting an important asset to cash, expert guidance from a trusted source is best.

I've seen people sell paintings at prices guided by experts whose only credentials are that they watch the Antiques Road Show occasionally and were from foreign.

My real estate friends keep repeating, location, location, location. The jewelers: cut, colour, carat and clarity for diamonds. Coin collectors have their grading system, stamp people too.

wants to know, please put up contact information when you are ready to sell. I am interested in purchasing property in Treasure Beach.

Thank you!

Can someone tell me how much a lot cost in Old Wharf, i am interested in buying property there.

I remember in the early days when land started selling at Old Wharf a lot would have cost so,so much less comparing to now.

Can someone say how much a 1/4 acre with outstanding view about 15 minutes walk from the beach would cost.

One(1) Acre of prime residential land is now available for sale in Calabash Bay, Treasure Beach, St.Elizabeth.
Property has a clear Registered Title.
Interested persons can contact the following Tel.# for further details: 1-876-868-9679

I wonder what the seaside is like at Old Wharf now that the canal has deposited mud and debris on the shore. Also, a recent post here mentioned erosion on property adjacent to the canal.

Why does nobody just put the details of their property here so people know what the price and location and details are without having to make soo many enquireys when it could just be here in black and white...that way the only phonecalls you get are people who ARE seriously interested.think you would generate more interest too.:-)

The property listing things are like saying

car for sale in good shape. call me for details.

This is nuts.

Hello from TB,
myadvice is:
Come to the town,
Talk to the people,
Find a piece of land you like,
Go to the JP and make a contract with the seller
Make sure that all the taxes are paid
Pay for the land
Apply for a RT (You need a lawyer for that)
Pay for the RT and the lawyer
Wait for a while
Receive you RT
Then you are ready to think about building a house

Lignum ive been to your town! I love tb spend alot of time there and respect your people! I think im not alone in saying to better explain what you are selling to get a better responce!

Because people who sell FSBO are amatures at selling real estate. They do not know how to market property, nor do they have the capability. They do not realize the property usually sells for more money in a shorter time if they use a professional, like me, with RE/MAX Platinum or Sandy Tatham with CB. We market property throughout the world, not just a 'for sale' sign in the yard and a thread on TBNet. And we cooperate with our competition thus I mentioned my competitors name. Things have come a long way with real estate over the last decade. I understand that Realtors are not always trusted. That is what people like me and Sandy are out to change. Believe it or not, our job is to look out for your best interest. That is what I was taught in the U.S.many years ago, and I bring to my Company and train agents to behave that way. Personally, my website generated searches from 57 countries in February alone.

Any reason my post was not here? Submitted it over a day ago and before these...

One Acre of Land for sale, Quarter of a from the Treasure Beach Police Station, on the Black River road, register title for more information please call, R. James, on 0114401234267280.

Are the potential effects on a community considered when choosing buyers Ken?

If I understand your question correctly, that could be discrimination, and I don't go there. It would be wrong for me or the seller for that matter to 'judge' a potential buyer. If for example a seller tells me he does not want to sell his property to someone with red hair, my job is to put the pen down and walk away from the listing. Sometimes the facts are different than what people think. Of course I was 'raised' or 'trained' if you will in the US. A sexual predator may be an exception. It would be nice if we could all pick and choose our neighbors. Covenants in certain communities protect the quiet enjoyment of the neighborhoods. For example, no semi trucks permitted to park on the street. No commercial use etc. But lets say someone is a drug dealer. Is he really? Never been charged. I am not the one who 'chooses' that is the seller. And I don't feel right being judge and jury. I personally stay away from opening up the can of worms called speculation. On the other hand, I also stay away from being reckless. The other problem to avoid is what is 'effects'? Let's say a buyer has a rooster. One neighbor may say "I don't want a rooster here, he makes too much noise too early". Another may say "I love the sound of a rooster to start my day". So Turey, you ask a question that is difficult to answer yes or no.

Thanks Ken. Just wondering if your industry looks at projected land use by potential buyers and possible environmental destruction/degredation. Or, do you leave it up to the state to regulate this?

Not being reckless leaves any subtle filtering up to the individual. Are there any industry guidelines that encourage participation in the stewardship of land?

For example; plants/trees seem to be automatically removed both for surveying and site preparation. A gesture of moderation there from y'all would be one step in the right direction. Though I'm refering to our local customs, I've seen similar elsewhere.

Almost no way to decide if potential buyers will be naughty or nice. Anyone can pretend to be nice if that's what it takes to buy property. Sellers look for a well qualified buyer who can pay an agreed upon price within an agreeable time. Being a judge of character is not part of the job of a real estste professional.

Twelve families will try and persuade locals to vote for them

A new home in North Yorkshire is the star prize of a new reality television programme.
Love Thy Neighbour will feature 12 families competing to win a £300,000 home in Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales.
Villagers hope their involvement will increase tourism to the area but there are concerns it may portray the community in a negative light.
Love Thy Neighbour is being shown on Channel 4 from 3 March.
In each episode two families will move to the village. They have only a week to throw themselves into the local community convincing locals to vote them into the semi-finals.
At the end of the series it will again be the turn of the residents of Grassington to decide which of the families they would like to move to the village permanently.
Vital tourists
Villagers say the economic value of appearing on national television convinced them to participate in the programme hoping it would attract vital tourists to the area.

Grassington's shops and businesses rely heavily on tourism
Mary Wilkinson, who has lived in Grassington since the 1970s and is president of the local WI, told BBC Radio York: "There were mixed feelings because we have so many deserving youngsters who desperately need a home of their own in the village
"But once we realised the programme was going ahead many of us in the village thought the best thing to do was to get behind it.
"We are lucky we do have local shops and businesses but we need the tourists to support our local livelihoods.
"If the programme goes out in the way we hope it will, then people will want to come to visit and spend their money."
Negative light
There have been concerns that the series could portray the villagers in a negative light as they meet contestants from a range of diverse backgrounds.
Mary Wilkinson admitted that not everyone got behind the programme, but said that for those who did it was a rewarding experience.

The winning family will move into this £300,000 home
She said: "Would the whole of any area get behind one thing? The beauty of being behind the programme and working with it was to meet the people and the contestants, who were lovely people.
"Grassington used to be a conservative place in all senses of the word, but it isn't like that any more. We thrive on the diversity of the village and the people who live here."
Chris Berry, a rural journalist with the Yorkshire Post, said: "People who live in villages like Grassington are on the whole very warm and accepting, but you will always get one or two people in any community than can be a bit iffy with certain people."
The winning contestants will receive the £300,000 cottage in the village but will have to commit to living there for at least three years.

Couldn't have said it better myself 'No way'.
Turey, I think the developments in Jamaica are taking a better look at keeping trees etc. in place, if for no other reason they are aware that this is what buyers want. To me, removing the trees is a lazy way to make their job easier. But no, I leave the regulations up to the state in the US and parish council in Jamaica. Although if my opinion is asked, I suggest keeping things as natural as possible. Most trees take a long ntime to grow to maturity.
