As a builder and developer of vacation and primary homes we see a lot of property owners who just don't know what to do with their land. Lot owners wonder what's the best solution for them. Should you develop it, build a vacation or rental home, build and sell a home, or just sell the land? The answer depends upon a lot of factors. At Great Pocono Homes we provide land owners with as much information as possible about developing their land, including the costs and process BEFORE they decide WHAT to do with it. Our success has been built upon sharing our experience, not persuading people to buy homes; by providing information, not applying pressure; by being honest about the costs, not up-selling “extras.” We're not in the business of buying land, but what we can do is talk with you about your options if you are considering doing anything with your land.

With interest rates at record lows, and investment in real estate in the Poconos climbing, we are seeing particular interest from lot owners who want to know if it is the right time to act and what it takes to put their investment to work for them. To that end we are offer free consultations, by phone or in person, to lot owners to discuss their land and their options. For years you’ve been paying taxes and possibly even association dues on a vacant lot. Do you even know if the lot is buildable or if you are just throwing good money into a bad lot? At the time you acquired the lot maybe you were hoping to build that dream home or even just flip the lot for a handsome return. Or perhaps you just bought a lot as an investment or acquired one through inheritance, and just aren’t sure what to do with it or what needs to be done to make it a valuable lot.

Well there are a few things EVERY lot owner should know whether you plan to put your lot to work for you or not. We can answer all the questions, some of which you haven’t even thought of asking yet, as to whether or not your lot is worth it, if building a new home on it is even a practical option, and what the costs are if you do! We will take all the mystery out of it, answer any and all of your questions, and give you enough information to determine what, if anything you should or can do with your land. In as little as 15 or 20 minutes we can help you determine the status and value of your lot, whether it needs a survey and percolation test or has ever had one, what your selling or building options are, how to choose the right builder in the Poconos, renting an investment property and so much more. We’ll cover it all.

It may be the smartest 20 minutes you spent this month... and the cheapest. There is no cost.
