If you are researching land or estate parcels in Vermont, we're here to help. Dave Jamieson of Vermont Land Broker provides clients with a deep understanding of Vermont history, local neighborhoods, surveying, construction and tree farming.

Land purchases involve more than just looking for a view and we can help you make the right decision with our services:

  • Engineers/Attorneys: We will find the necessary professionals to guide you through the process.

  • Identify Parcels: Many parcels are not surveyed when they are put on the market. We will find approximate bounds.

  • Soils: Will the land percolate for a septic system or will you be able to raise crops or pasture livestock? We give advice on soil types and uses.

  • Hydric/Wet Soils: Vermont is concerned about use violations in state wetlands and waterways. We can tell you upfront what can be done and what the limitations are on a parcel.

  • Contours: How steep is the property for access and does the land drain in the right direction? We can tell you.

  • Ponds: We provide information on offsets from waterways and what can be done for pond cleanup; we have a Vermont Certified Aquatic Pesticide Applicator who knows ways to remove unwanted vegetation.

  • Flood Areas: When buying land, everyone should be aware of locations that are prone to flooding and we can assist in finding out that information.
