Looking to buy that perfect piece of Maine land? Before you buy, learn what you need to know to determine whether the property can actually support the home you envision—and what it may really cost to get there. This practical, hands-on class will walk you through the important questions to ask before purchasing land, including zoning, setbacks, access, boundaries, surveys, septic, wells, shoreland & wetlands, flood zones, utilities, permits, and site-development costs. You'll learn how to recognize yellow flags that deserve further investigation, who to contact for answers, and how to avoid costly surprises. We'll also look at real Maine land examples and explore how seemingly simple properties can become complicated. Whether you're considering a tiny home, traditional home, camp, or other dwelling, this class will give you the knowledge and practical tools to investigate land with confidence—before you commit your money. Includes take-home checklists, worksheets, a Maine land-buyer's glossary, and real-world case studies. As a Maine Realtor and Broker/Owner of Simmons Realty, LLC, Julie has 15 years experience in real estate with the last 6 of those heavily rooted in the Tiny home market. I have helped many people buy land for their Tiny (or Big) home dreams while avoiding costly mistakes. After years of helping buyers it became clear that most think buying the land is the easy part, but not all land is created equal and most people simply don't know what they don't know but need to know in order to avoid costly mistakes.
